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 1 pound 
to each pound of milk for the period of hot weather
