HE DAIRY BUSINESS, of course, is largely 

 dependent on an ample supply of ice. It is 

 the duty of the Farm Superintendent to sup- 

 ply this ice. An artificial pond , fed by a brook 

 from the hills, is the source of the supply. Three ice- 

 houses furnish the storage. A gasoline portable engine 

 and fifty men on the pond supply the power, so that, 

 after the ice is cut into cakes by the horse ploughs, a 

 continuous stream of cakes is delivered to the houses, 

 and all are filled in about two days.
