Making and Storing
Ice for Summer Use
Method Of Freezing in Cans
or Paper Bags Outlined.

(Prepared By the United States Departmeat
Of Agriculture.l
Furnishing the average farm with q
sufficient supply Of ice for use In the
house and the dairy Is problem Of
considerable concern in many locali-
ties, especially where there are no
ponds or streams from which a natural
supply can be secured. A method Of
freezing ice in metal cans or special
paper bags may be used, says the Unit
ted States Department Of Agriculture,
in regions where cold weather prevails
for several weeks at time and where
the supply of pure water is limited.
The cans may be made in any con-
yenient size by local tinsmith and
should be of galvanized iron rein
forced at top and bottom with iron
strips. The bottom is made slightly
smaller than the top to make the re-
moval of the ice easier. The cans are
placed near the well or other source
of water supply, filed with water and
left exposed to the weather. A shell
Of ice soon freezes around the inner
surface, and when this shell is from
IN to inches thick, hot water Is
poured over the outside of the can
and the shell removed. If left to
freeze solid the cake would tend to
burst or bulge. After the shell is re-
moved from the can hole Is broken
through at the top Of the shell and
most Of the water inside then poured
out. AS the freezing progresses, wa
ter is poured into the shell a little at
q time until solid block Of ice is pro-
duced. BY this method only few
cans are required, usually enough to
complete the freezing Of one or two
layers for the ice house at a time.
About the same method is employed
when special paper bags are used, al
though they do not last so long as the
cans Another method that can be
used In very cold sections of the UNI
ted States Is to run water into the ice
house and let layer freeze. This is
done by first constructing dam of
snow around the floor of the house 10
or IL inches from the wall in order to
allow sawdust insulation next to the
walls. The interior of the house is
then flooded with few inches Of wa
ter, which soon freezes the procedure
being repeated until the house is filled
with ice. 1t is then covered with saw
dust and closed up until ice is needed.
A great disadvantage Of this method
is that in order to remove ice, 1t must
be cut or chopped out with an ak,
which results in uneven and irregular
pieces and considerable waste Of ice.

Reasons for Failure to
Obtain Stand of Clover

There may be several reasons for
the failure to get good stand OF
sweet clover. The soil may be slightly
acid, the seed bed may have been too
loose, the soil may not have been in
oculated properly. and some of the
seed may not have terminated yet.
Sweet clover contains from 10 to 80
per cent Of hard seed, which does not
terminate until 1t has lain in the soil
for considerable time. II scarified
seed Is used this particular trouble
may be avoided.
II is not necessary to work the land
again II the seed Is to be sowed In
February; 1t will be sufficiently COW
cred by the alternate freezing and
thawing. Sow about Is pounds of seed
to the acre.
Winter seedlings viii often produce
one good cutting the first year and
two the second. The first cutting
should not be made until the crown
buds begin to appear on top of the
roots. The cuttings of the second year
should be made just before the bloom
buds appear.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1924-02-01
Sweet Soil Is Necessary
for Many Garden Crops

Your garden may not be acid, but If
II has been kept pretty rich the
chances are it is. When manure and
green crops are plowed under they de-
cay and make for acidity, and no soil
is at its best for most crops when in
this condition. Some crops do not OBJ
ject so much as others, but for gen.
eral high-producing soil it is necessary
to keep it sweet. There is little dam
ger Of getting 1t too full Of lime, and
as lime win help to make all fertilizers
produce better results, when using
them 1t is advisable to first lime the
soil. Lime and fertilizers should not
be applied together. for the lime will
often cause a loss Of plant food by
hasty chemical action.
