In these days of plentiful ice bind
ing Maine rivers it seems wasteful,
where there is opportunity. not to lay
by such supply as is possible. A few
directions may not be amiss. The IL
linois Farmer says: "To keep well,
ice must have minimum surface ex-
posed TO the air or to the packing
material. This is most easily ao-
complished by piling the ice in the
form of q cube. A mass of ice u by
l. by Il feet exposes less surface than
tiit SAINT tpiiiioeV Piif' III stif ACA -
less nearly that of Il Cube or of a
globe. The keeping of good ice de-
ponds upon the completeness of its
insulation, whereby it is protected
from external influences. such as heat
and air. Drainage is important be-
cause the lack of it interferes with
the insulation. The ice itself must be
packed so as to prevent as completely
as possible the circulation OF air
through the mass"
