The heavy and disagreeable nature of the work of removing the ice after it is stored undoubtedly has much to do with the scarcity of ice houses even in our well-watered northern sections. Most of this trouble may be easily avoided by the construction of the so-called insulated ice Fig, 99.—Inexpensive milk house. The insulated ice house is one in which the packing is put in the walls rather than upon the ice itself. The ice is packed clean and close to the walls where it will keep even per- fectly than when packed in the ordinary sawdust fashion. Many of the best, moderate-sized creameries are now employing this system and it is certainly to be recommended to the larger class of farm dairies. The milk house and the ice house may be built under one roof which will reduce the labor of use to the minimum. See the plan" already given of this type of combina- tion milk and ice house. QUESTIONS 1. What are the essentials of a farm milk house? <2. Where should it be located ? 3. Of what material should the floor and lower walls be made? 4. How much ice is required per season of six months per cow in the northern half of the United States? 5. What is an " insulated " ice house ? 6. How may an insulated ice house and a milk house be economically combined ? 7. What dbes one cubic foot of water weigh? 8. What doesi one cubic foot of ice weigh ? 9. How many cubic feet will one ton of solid ice occupy? 10. How many cubic feet should be allowed for each ton of ice to be used?.
