SIDE HILL lcEHousE.
Superior TO Many, hut II Is More Expen
sive to Build.


Farmers who are not already provided
with an icehouse will do well to con.
struct one before the season arrives for
cutting and packing the ice, and the
sooner now that this work is done the
better. A side hill icehouse has several
advantages, and it has also some draw
backs. 1t is more expensive to build,
but, The Country Gentleman says, it has
the advantage of the more ready filling
of the upper part by drawing the loads
of ice above and passing the blocks
through the upper door. A form of con-
struction suggested by the authority
quoted is that OF building the lower part
of stone and the upper Of common verti-
cal boarding. AS the lower part is more
than foot in thickness, the timbers OF
the upper must be so constructed as to
give an equal thickness and to allow all
the contents to settle alike. If, however,
the whole is built of stone, this provision
as TO thickness is not necessary.
1t is hardly necessary to mention the
common provision for making noncon-
Quoting walls by allowing air spaces to
be filed with sawdust. This sawdusi
should be 10 inches or a foot In thick
