but is now considered necessary on
every well-regulated farm, not only for
convenience and health, but as an in
vestment that will as a rule return
very large interest on the investment.
An ice house such as shown in the
three Illustrations may be built for a
small sum on almost any farm. In
fact much of the material for same
will be found on all farms lying
around idle and rotting. The cuts
with this short specification will ex-
plain how the writer has constructed
several such ice houses. The house
as shown is 16x20 on the ground and
ten feet to the caves. The roof is
very fat and has only a four-foot
raise or third pitch.
If it is possible to locate the house
on sandy or gravel land it will not be
necessary to provide a drainage sys-
tenn Simply excavate the trenches "a
TO 30 inches deep and fill with broken
stone to within IL inches of the TOP.
Upon the broken stone, build your
foundation of brick, stone or cement.
Many prefer the foundation to be OF
heavy wood timbers, as It is then much
easier to keep out air and wind which
would be fatal to your ice. A house of
this size will hold between so and 20
tons of Ice and it is supposed that
the ordinary family will use from four
to six tons each month.
Build an ordinary balloon frame
with heavy sill and studs at least
eight inches wide, ten would be bet
ter. Toe-nail studs in place and hold
them with stay lath nailed on the out
side. Now cover the inside walls with
any rough lumber, mailing II well to

THE ICE-HOUSE FOR THE FARM
A NECESSITY NOT A LUXURY
Plan Of Building That Will Hold Enough to You
Summer-By j. E. BridSman.

The two front doors both open out.
The inner door is single and the outer
door double, that is, two thickhesses
OF boards are used, one placed up and
down and the inner thickness nailed
horizontal. Both doors should. shut
close and tight, and if necessary have
heavy, thick wool cloth tackled around
the edge.
AS explained above, no drainage sys-
tenn will be necessary where the
ground is sandy but if the ground is
OF clay nature. an underground
drain must be built. Lay a wooden
pipe in the ground, two feet below
grade and about 16 feet long, allow
one end to come inside of the house
about three feet and fill in the floor
with dirt to give slope to the drain.
Cover each end of this drain. with
broken stone and fill with dirt to top
Of ground on the outside of house and
fill the trench on the inside of the
house with sawdust or straw. All ice
houses should be painted or white
washed pure white to protect them
from the sun

show how one may easily build cool.
ing room in an ice house and as nc
extra ice will be required to operate
the same one should be built by all
means. Eggs, fruit. butter, etc., stored
over night may be taken to town in

each stud with two or three ten-penny
nails. The outer walls may be COW
cred with stock boards, boarded up
and down, or with six-inch drop siding,
the latter to be preferred. If the sid
ing be used, the wall may be filled as
the siding goes up. while with the
stock boards, the spaces must be
filed from the top. The plate must
not be nailed in place until all of the
spaces between the studs have been
filled with sawdust, charcoal or fine
chat, sawdust to be preferred. The
roof should have 2x6 rafters for a
house of this size, but 2x4 timbers
should be used for house much
smaller The roof may be covered
with shingles or any of the prepared
roofing felts. Let the caves extend
out over the walls not less than IS
or 20 inches to protect the wall from
the sun. The spaces between the
rafters are left open for ventilation
and a six-inch space is left at the peak
Of the roof its entire length and a cap
or cover Is placed over this opening
as shown. 1t should set at least two
inches above the roof and be held in
place with three-inch blocks nailed to
the points of each rafter. A point not
70 be overlooked is that an ice house
that will keep the ice must have
free circulation of air at all times
above the fee but that the slightest
current of air below will melt the ice
very fast, also that an accumulation
OF water under the ice will be liable
to melt it very fast. The sills must
be set in mortar, and after the house
has been completed go over the foun-
dation both inside and out and fill
every small hole with mortar and be
sure that you have left no place for
the air to enter.
The door at the rear is used only
for filing the house with ice and as
shown one stud is left out and the
boards both inside and out allowed to
project over the door studs. Loose
boards are then filed in as the house is
filled with ice and the space between
the door boards packed with sawdust

the Duty Of the Legislature.

Now that two-thirds of the session of
the legislature has passed, we think it
high time for the Democratic majority in
that body to address itself to the passage
of the bills which have been introduced
to carry out the pledges of the Demo-
cratic platform. Nothing less than this
will satisfy the party in the State. The
pledgesIwere distinctly made and empha-
sized upon the hustings all over the
State.
The people are getting inpatient at
the delay which has kept back the Cor
rupt Practices Bill. Let this and other
measures upon which the party won the
recent election be passed without any
further unnecessary delay. If this is
not done the people will want to know
why.
