our higher attitudes it almost freezes
at once. AS many horizontal divi-
sions as desired can be made. This
method Of keeping ice is cheap and
practical. OF course, l prefer an ice
house but it is so expensive that many
settlers refrain from having ice on
this account. BY this method the cost
is very slight. Ice is useful on the
farm or ranch during the summer.
Every dairy farmer should have ice
SO he can cool his milk and cream l
use about 100 to $50 pounds Of ice
every day for the milk cooling tank.
The ice can be stored also for cooling

luxury in warm weather.-Chris Lar

KEEPING ICE IN A PIT

In last weeks Field & Farm I saw
in the ground the same as silage. I
am writing to give my experience along
this line. Last year l froze ice in a
pit very satisfactorily and there is no
reason why every farmer should not
have ice for use during the summer
months. Practically every farmer has
a well, and many of them have power
OF ome kind for pumping water. The
pit should not be more than four feet
in the ground. If dug too deep, ii
takes too long to freeze the water.
The pit should be dug in the fall and
the sides exposed to frost. until the
bottom and sides freeze solid.
When hui thoroughly frozen, then
allow a small stream of water TO run
into the pit. Too much water should
not be let in at first, as it freezes with
difficulty near the bottom. Then let
a little water run gradually and allow
the ice to freeze solid as fast as the
water is let into the pit. This freez-
ing may be continued above ground.
by putting boards around the top OF
the pit. All crevices and openings can
be easily filled up with slush ice. This
solid cake of ice may be frozen above
the ground. even several feet by this
method. 1t freezes much quicker on
the top OF the ground than below the
surface.
l used an ordinary iron pipe at first
for conducting the water into the pit.
On extreme cold days, however, the
pipes would freeze solid. The best
conveyors of water are open troughs
made from 1x4 boards nailed together
in the same manne as is done when
F-shaped hogs troughs are made. Ii
the troughs are given sufficient slant
no difficulty will be experienced in
getting the water into the pit. Wher
frozen the solid chunk of ice should
be covered with plenty of straw, pre-
ferably flax if it can be had. Moister
the straw a little so it will pack vel
on top of the ice. AS soon as tn,
weather becomes warm, the GROUND
will thaw some of the ice.
AS soon as there is about six inche.
Of cavity between the sides of tn
pit and the ice. then pack this opening
with fine flax straw or sawdust. Thil
prevents or at least retards the thaw
ing Of the ice on the sides and causes
It TO keep much better. Remove tn
ice by using an ice saw. Saw il per
pendicularly on all the sides OF thl
chunk desired for use. BY mean o
a crow bar or a pick. the chunk read
lily splits Of horizontally. The ice ma,
be frozen into layers by putting Ia
paper in between. In order TO sc
the complete separation, it is neces
sary to lay strips of tar paper tOgeth
er so that it will be water tight.
Lay this sheet OF solid tai paper o.
top of the ice. then slowly run on
very thin layer of water so that a
