ICE GATHERING.

Ice gathering is an important thing
for country people. The people watch
the pond until the ice gets two or three
inches thick, then they hire fvesor six
wagons and get ready to haul ice.
We were about the first to get ice
around here. and my father went to the
pond. which was about two miles from
home. real early and built a large fire.
Then he went out on the ice and cut

1t in with long poles and loaded the
wagons. About IL o'clock the men
that haul the ice go in and got their

1t takes forty or nifty two-horse
wagons to I'll our icehouse. The ice
usually stands for day or two before

After IL is covered up we all sit back
and wait for summer to come.
