Gravel under joists welltamped Fig. 131,—Construction detail of ice-house,square building, having a certain length of wall around it, willhold more ice than an oblong building having an equal number of NATURAL ICE SYSTEM 369 feet of outside walls. The building should also be high in pro-portion to width and length. This will tend to preserve the ice,as proportionately less top surface is exposed to the air. The size of the building will vary according to (i) amountof milk handled at the creamery, (2) whether ice is sold fromcreamery, and (3) whether ice is used for any other purposes,such as ice-cream freezing, cream shipping, etc. For creameryuses, the only basis on which to estimate is the amount of milkreceived. For example, suppose a creamery is receiving 12,000 poundsof milk daily. This milk will produce about 2000 pounds ofcream and about 6co pounds of butter. Suppose that thecream needs to be cooled from 90° F. down to 40° F. or a rangeof 50° F. One pound of ice will cool
