escape through fine holes in the top of 

 of the bell. But too often is this stir- 

 ring or aeration neglected, and too often 

 there is no wind mill or no wind, and 

 pumping by hand is too much work. 

 For this reason I am decidedly in favor of 

 uxini/ Iced water. Farmers ought to 

 have a stock of ice any how, as it is a 

 great economy in the household, and if 

 a pond is within reasonable distance it 

 can be laid down for f 1.00 per ton. But 

 even if it were to cost |3.00 per ton it 

 would pay and an ice house can be built 

 very cheaply. I have, in Sweden, pre- 

 served ice in a heap of saw dust, and it may be preserved in 

 a bay of the barn by simply covering with straw, although 

 the loss by melting will be greater than in a properly con- 

 structed ice house. 



Of ice coolers for use without or with but little water, I 

 illustrate the original McPherson in Fig. 87, where A is like a 



milk pail with a lot of fine holes 

 at the bottom d and is placed on 

 the ice pail B, which is filled 

 with ice. The milk flows over B, 

 being cooled and aerated and 

 runs from the annular ring b into 

 the pail. Similar coolers made 

 are the "Champion," (Fig. 88), 

 the "Model" and the two made by 

 Sturges, Cornish & Burn Co (of 

 Chicago). The former (Fig. 89)
