I pounds, so in storing ice it is GUS
tomary to allow from 40 to so Gu
bic feet per ton for the mass of ice.
At least II inches must be left be-
tween the ice and the wall of the
3Ulation, unless the ice
house has permanently insulated
walls and an unusually large space
for insulation beneath and above the
ice. From these figures it is pos
sible to calculate readily the quantity
of ice that any given ice house will
hold.
q lake, pond, OF stream OF
clear water is not available, some
preliminary work in preparing the ice
i field will be required before freez-
ing weather sets in. 1t is therefore
advisable to make all plans for the
work as soon as possible. Water for
the ice supply should be entirely free
from contamination or pollution.
Ponds and sluggish streams usually
have grass and weeds growing in
them, so that the ice harvested is
likely to contain decayed vegetable
matter, which is always Objectionable
They should therefore be thoroughly
cleared of such growths before the
ice has formed.
In some sections it Unnecessary to
impound the water for producing ice.
This may be done either by excavat-
ing, and diverting a stream into the
excavation, or by constructing dams
across low areas. In 10 alities where
very low temperatures prevail for
several weeks at time, and the
supply Of pure water is limited
blocks of ice may be frozen in metal
, cans or in special fiber containers.
SIZE OF THE ICE FIELD
In harvesting ice it is desirable to
have filed of sufficient size to fill
the ice house at single cutting, as
the thickness and quality of the ice
will be more nearly uniform, and
the necessary preparation for cutting
and harvesting need be made but
once. In many instances, however,
the size Of the pond or stream is
such that it is necessary to wait for
a second crop in order to fill the ice
house. The average farmer requires
only comparatively small quantity
of ice, so that even small harvesting
surface will usually prove large
enough, especially if ice is cut the
second time. The square feet of sur
face required per ton when the ice
is of different thicknesses is shown
in the accompanying table. Size of
cake, % by 90 inches.
When a small quantity of ice IS to
be harvested, but few tools are re-
qured. The following list contains
those actually needed for harvesting
ice on a small scale: Two ice saws,
one hand marker, one pulley and rope
two pairs of ice tongs.
hooks, one pointed bar, and one
straight edge. While these tools are
all that are necessary, additional
ones, such as the horse pillow and
marker, horse scraper and marker,
and a calking bar, are convenient,
and will help to expedite the work of
ice harvesting.

Is there any man who would avail
himself of any necessary commodity
he could find that has not increased
in cost?
Well, here is one thing that has
not: Nature is freezing ice just as
cheaply as it was before the war.
And yet, there the thousands of
people-people who need ice--ne-
glecting opportunities to provide
themselves with an abundance of it
at no cost of manufacture whatever.
Where no extra labor is hired the
cost Of cutting and hauling is no
more than it used to be, and the ac-
tual manufacturing cost is at it al
ways has been-nothing.
Every farm family needs ice. With
ice in the farm ice house, hun
bred comforts are possible all
through hot weather. They could not
be had if the ice house were empty.
And, with few exceptions, farmers
who produce milk or butter for sale,
as the United States Department of
Agriculture has frequently pointed
out, simply can not have full measure
of success without ice. The alb
sence OF ice generally means big
money loss, but it means more than
that. Sour milk makes a bitter man.
The dairy farmer who has to haul
back home lot of sour milk or
cream every few days simply is not
in frame of mind to enjoy any of
the good things of life.
A great many men honestly mean
to harvest crop of ice, but never do
it. The pond freezes. They think,
perhaps, that the ice is not quite
thick enough Or else they simply
procrastinate, waiting, like Nicode-
mus, for a more convenient season.
II does not always come. The pond
does not always freeze second time.
Boreas may be the most rigorous OF
the gods, but he is also one of the
most unreliable. 1t is not safe,
therefore, to defer harvesting house
full of ice.
MANY KINDS OF ICE HOUSES
The house may be one of many
kinds. An ideal ice house is one
thing.
A house that will keep ice is quite
another thing. Farmers Bulletin G23
of the United States Department of
Agriculture gives full information
concerning them.
The ice harvesting season fortu-
nately comes at q time when there
is the least work on the farm for men
and teams. a~A consequently the ac-
- money cost is usually not very
great.
The quantity of ice needed depends
upon the location of the farm
whether in the North or in the South
the number Of COWS MIXED, and the
method of handling the product. In
the Northern States it has been
found that, with a moderately good
ice house, oe-half of ton of ice per
COW is sufficient to cool cream and
hold it at low temperature for de-
livery two or three times week. One
and one-half or two tons per COW
should be provided where milk is to
be & olod

QUICK RELIEF FROM

chronic constipation and torpid livers.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do not
contain calomel, but healing, soothing

customers. It seems desirable, eSpc-
cially in Sparscy settled sections, that
more attention be given to perfccting
a satisfactory system Of distributing
dairy calves to farmers.
Advantages in buying small calves
as foundation for a dairy herd are
summarized as follows:
Small investment. r..
Better breeding.
Greater freedom from disease.
In case of accident loss is smaller.
Raising calves stimulates interest
and in consequence causes better care
of live stock
A satisfactory herd can be estab-
lishcd more rapidly than by grading
up common cows.
