Storing lee.

The great secret Of successful ice
keeping is to put it in the ice-house
in good condition, and in excluding
all air from it by compacting sawdust
so closely that no air can penetrate
it. Even snow covered with sawdust
where the winters wood has been cut
in huge quantities is often found un-
melted long after all the snow and
ice OF the fields has gone. The Ice
blocks should be regular in shape,
and as closely compacted with saw
dust in their interstices as it can be
worked.
