FARM NOTES.

The FARM 1CE-cRoP.- While the
farm lies buried In its wintry shroud.
the ice crop is ready for the harvest.
No farmer who has once enjoyed the
advantages of having a supply OF ice
during the warm months will willingly
forego them for a single season; for
ice In midsummer Is not only con-
venience but luxury. The earlier the
crop is secured, the better. Although
ice is sometimes formed late in winter,
there are seasons when, il it is not
secured early, the chance is lost for the
year. In the Middle States it will do
to cut ice when it is four to SIX inches
thick. but in the more northern regions
thicker ice can be obtained. Ii the
ice is covered with snow it must first be
scraped off. Then lines are marked on
its surface for the saw. An inch
board, six feet long, with cleat firmly
attached across the lower end, is used
to bring the blocks out of the water.
Then they are showed along the surface
to the sleigh, into which they are loaded
by means of an inclined plane of planks
or boards. In packing in the ice-house
surround the ice with some nOn-cOn-
Quoting substance and provide perfect
drainage at the bottom and ventilation
at the top. Sawdust is one of the best
non conductors, about one foot in
thickness all around being sufficient.
The interstices between the blocks
should be filed with the same sub
stance. No expensive structure is
needed for an ice-house Anything
that will hold sawdust is sufficient for
practical purposes. In the absence of
other receptacles, one corner of hay
NOV or woodshed, partitioned off with
rough boards. will keep the Ice just as
effectually as more costly structure.
When there is no other convenience, or
the ce-house will not hold quite enough,
the supply may be helped out by making
stack. Lay down floor Of rails,
upon which stack the blocks as COM
pactly as possible. Cover thickly with
non-conducting material, such as straw,
marsh hay or corn stalks. Finish the
top SO as to shed rain. and put boards
and rails around the sides to Keep the
covering in position. In removing the
ice. open always at the same place, and
at the top. If the stack IS large and
we'll built, the ice will keep the greater
part of the summer nearly as we'll as
IN costly structure.
