THE COST OF ICE

The following is from Farmers Bull
letin $685. United States Department of
Agriculture:
The cost of packed ice will vary ac-
cording to the local conditions under
which it is harvested, these conditions
of necessity differing in almost every
case. Our Investigations show that ice
has been cut at price as low as one
cent for cake of 220 pounds, making
the ice cost, exclusive of hauling and
packing, nine cents a ton. The usual
price, however, was found to average
about two cents a cake, or Is cents
ton. To find the total cost of storing
ice, the charge for hauling and pack
ing must be added; this brought the
average to about 81 a ton.
After the ice cakes are broken apart
two men with ice tongs can with little
pull cake of ice from the

POWER DRAINAGE MACHINES

TOW CT GnAlNAGE MACF1IINEO
Power machinery is now available
which will excavate drainage bitches of
all sizes and under all conditions of
soil and water more cheaply than can
be done by any other method, accord
ing to a recent bulletin of the depart
ment. Responsibility for carrying on
the work on community drainage pro
jects in agricultural districts frequently
rests upon persons with little practical
knowledge of the methods and cost of
operation of such machinery or CON
structing drainage bitches on large
scale. To supply information on the
use of power machinery in such work,
a professional paper of the Department
Bulletin series has been published.
Many of the details of construction,
first costs, and method and cost of
operation are given of several types of
dredges and excavators, viz: floating
dipper, floating grab bucket and n.y.
draulic dredges, and drag-line, dry-land,
dry-land grab-bucket, templet and
excayators. Mention is also
made of machines for cleaning old
bitches.
The Bulletin No. 300, Excavating Ma
chinery Used in Land Drainage, may be
had upon application to the Editor and
Chief, Division of Publications, as long
as the supply for free distribution lasts.

Colleges to increase the production of
food supplies on the farm, especially to
bring about home supply of meat,
eggs, milk, and butter
Among other specific recommendations
of the Public Health Service are
(a) The ownership of milk COW;
an increase of milk production for home
consumption.
(b) Poultry and egg raising for home
consumption.
(c) Stock raising
(d) Diversifcation and cultivation
of food crops.
These four specifications give an added
argument for the campaign of livestock
raising and farm diversiication, which
has been especially urged, particularly
for the South. 1t is quite reasonable to
presume, therefore, that the production
of the family meat supply at the farm
home will not only decrease considera-
bly, the expense of the family table and
add somewhat directly to family revenue
as well, but will have a profound effect
on the health and wellbeing of the mem
bers of the family.
