EQUIPMENT FOR COOLING 



Ice Supply 



The ice harvest is almost as important as the 

 corn harvest for the dairyman. 



In climates where natural ice is formed, every 

 dairyman should have an ice house. At small 

 expense an ice-house can be erected on any dairy 

 farm. Often an old wagon-house or shed can be 

 cheaply transformed by sheathing, and the use 

 of saw dust, into an ice-house that will keep 

 ice well. Most farm ice-houses are too small. 

 The storage of ice in large quantities in tight, 

 well-built houses prevents losses. The quantity 

 of ice stored should be not less than I pound 

 to each pound of milk for the period of hot weather
