Thla will mean more effi- cient methods of cooling than most farmers have to -day. Then would ice be required by all dairy farmers, and they would have to secure it either from nearby bodies of water, if pres- ent, or through some suitable organ- isation shipping it in as referred to before. The superior article selling at better prices would likely pay the producers to ship 1q ice If 1t were necessary.

Plana of Storage Vary. The kind of storage for the Ice crop will vary with the conditions od the farm. and the Ideals and tastes of the farmer himself. One thing is certainly true, namely, that the stor- age need not be elaborate in eon- struction and costly In order to be efficient. Many farmers have used for years such inexpensive and sim- ple storages as a large ben made of old boards and planks and located to some well sheltered place, sueh as under an open shed, in mow of barn, or in corner of woodshed, a simple single wall lean-to on the shady side of a building, an old abandoned silo, or any convenient enclosure well pro- tected from the eun'a direct rays. The Corm and style of the storage for the ice does not matter materially pro- vided the following named conditions are faithfully fulfilled.
