However, in no case should an ice
house be smaller than IL by IL by 10
feet high, because the outside surface
is too great compared with the volume,
and therefore too much ice Is wasted
In proportion to the amount used.
In the plans submitted the frame

placed the same distance apart as the
studding. but the purlin plate upon the
by studding should be at least six
inches wide. The outside OF studding
may be boarded either with common
sheeting and paper, upon which poplar
siding is nailed, or with patent siding
or ship lap siding. the latter being the
cheapest and requiring only single
thickness Of board.
The roof should be made with not
less than one-half to one-third pitch
and preferably covered with shingles,
for shingles are better insuIators than
either slate or metal. However, paper
may sometimes be used to good adj
vantage. A cupola or fiue should be
built upon the roof to allow for the
removal OF the warm air from the top
of the ice. The ventilator may be
placed in the gable end instead of the
cupola and when so placed acts for
the same purpose.
A continuous door should be cut in
one end to allow the ice to be put in.
This door may extend from the gable
down to within five feet Of the bottom.

LOADING AND HAULING WOOD.
II Piled Cross Ways of The Body It Is
Easier to Handle.

One may notice if be will that nine
cut Of every 10 loads Of cordwood are
loaded with the wood piled in tiers and
lengthwise of the sled. A generation
ago when the condition Of the country
highways made it necessary TO draw
small, narrow and securely bound loads
this was, perhaps the best method Of
loading cordwood. But the coming OF
good winter roads, and the development
Of wide bodied sleds, many of them so
wide that a man cannot reach across
them to unload wood from the oppo-
site side, have 80 changed conditions
That it is now much better to build a
load with one tier extending from the
front to the rear end of the sled, and
the wood piled crosswise of the body.
Yet the great majority of farmers
still cling to the old-fashioned method
Of loading. regardless Of the fact that
a man must take from one to three
steps and turn his body halfway around
every stick. He must also pick up
each stick in an awkward, unhandy
manner, and 80 hold it that its leverage
viii greatly increase its weight. All
these extra motions require time and
strength, and all are eliminated when
the load il built according to the more
modern method.
The sled is driven by the side Of and
as close to the pile as possible. The
driver stands at the end of the pile,
places one hand under a stock, takes
hold of the end nth the other hand
raises the stick and slides it in end and
upon the load. There need be no extra
motions or unnecessary leverage TO give
additional weight to a stick Of wood,
and man can under ordinary circum-
stances load cord of wood in nearly
half the time necessary if the sticks
are laid parallel with the sled. When
the load is built chain is made fast
to one end OF the body. Then it is
passed over the load and made fast
TO the other end, and then it is tight
ened by means of a twister.
Ii is true that load of wood may
be bound much more firmly If loaded
in the Oil fashioned manner, and if
the distance is great or the roads very
rough. or the sled liable TO slew" it
may sometimes be better to lay the
sticks parallel with the body, But with
ordinary roads and ordinary distances
much time and strength may be saved
BY loading cross-wise OF the body.
