agement of an icehouse is as simple
as rolling off log. but there are a
few little things to remember. When
you roll of log you don't want to
strike your nose. When you fill an
icehouse you want to do 1t in such q
way that most of the ice will stay in

for a farm where the milk is sold

room for milk cooler and a small

The foundation Of both the icehouse
and dairy is of concrete made into one
solid wall extending all the way
around. Above the wall both houses
are built of wood, using studding,
matched boards and drop siding. Next
to the studding is one thickness of
building paper. then matched ceiling
boards are blin6-nailed on the inside
and drop-siding is used for the out
side boarding. leaving hollow dead
air space between. It is a mistake to
pack this space with sawdust, be-
cause the sawdust rots down at the
bottom and settles in spots. leaving
holes.
To preserve the ice from melting,
the first attention should be given to
drainage. 1t is absolutely necessary
that the water should get away from
the bottom. If ice stands in water it
melts away rapidly.

between the concrete walls under the
ice is filled with cinders, pounded
down. Above the cinders is slant
ing floor of concrete, then a layer of
sawdust foot deep. This makes the
very best foundation for ice in farm
icehouse. There are other methods
of keeping ice in large commercial
storage plants, but what interests the
farmers is a cheap, practical way Of
preserving ice for home use.
There is a drainage system to the
icehouse which works in connection
with the concrete floor drains. The
center drain leads into a cement pit
in the dairy room, so that the cold
drip water from the ice keeps the wa
ter in the pit-tank cold. This pit-tank
is where the cans. of milk are kept
cold over night.
There is drain pipe leading away
from the bottom of the cold-water
tank to carry off the surplus water.
This drain is fitted with hollow plug,
which reaches high enough to hold the
water at the right level.
The icehouse doors reach from the
sill almost to the peak, making one
continuous opening, so that the ice
can be put in at any level. as the
house is being filled.
A handy way to lift the cakes of ice
is with hayfork toggle and pair
of heavy ice tongs. A single rope Ia
attached to the tongs and passed over
the hosting pulley in the track car
riage at the top and run through sin

horse can quickly lift cake OF ice
to any height necessary.

BY WILLIAM A. RApFoRp.

This is the time of year to build an
icehouse. A happy. goodhearted
neighbor admitted in his comical way
that he had always wanted an ice
house-in summer-but there was no
ice at that time to fill it. In winter
it was cold enough without it.
Every farm should have an ice
house. and every farm should have q
dairy house. There is economy in
combining the two. The illustrations
show the perspective and floor plan OF
a combination farm icehouse and
dairy, large enough to handle the milk
from a good-sized herd of mixers
The icehouse is large enough to hold a
cube Of ice 16 feet in diameter To
keep well there should be considerable
bulk Of ice together in one block.
In this design the dairy wing is
built to the south, which helps to
protect the south side of the icehouse
from the hot summer sun. Also, q
dairy room needs considerable sun
shine. so It works right both ways.

During the year 1918 Thomas Car
