Zurich Herald, 1925-03-05, Page 4Your Farm
is a
Business Proposition
OUR farm is as much a .going concern
as a factory, a dry goods store or a railroad
system. Your farm is as dependent as any other
business on a polity of sound, forward-looking
financing designed to meet the various situations
that occur in the life of a farmer;
If you will regard your farrn in this light—
as a clean-cut businen proposition, --you
will find it helpful to form a connection
with the Bank of Montreal—a bank
that has served the farmers of Canada
for more than a century.
Each of our 60o branches has the strength and
stability of the entire organization.

The method consists of the follow-
ing operations,—
(1) Cleaning off the snow, if wale.
by means of a suitable form of ser -
z. The Snow is either dragged off tee
the shore or pulled into windrows„
depending on the size of the area.:
(2) "Marking off the ice cabs

Cutting the Ice.
The ice is cut bath ways by either -
a, horse-drawn ice plough or a aft
cular saw driven by a gasoline she,
eine, the whole mounted on a ett*'''?
tushed along by hand. The latter'•
atethod of cutting is very satisraetteree
and is economical; when cutting tee
done en a large scale, as is the east:,.
with a large ice dealer or group orf`:
farmers harvesting their ice co-operr-.
atively. The ice field is usually cat,
in one direction with the nrachimere
and to a point two ox' three inches
of the full depth. The long aatslpr.!

by striking into the saw cut with o, :.
heavy Chisel, and then pushed up to,
the loading platform and therecurt_
up into blocks by a htind `saw ox' j4a1

cut both ways by the ice plough:uee
power saw. When a small que,n'ti>ijf•-
of ice is harvested the cutting is desk*,
by saws.
Loading and'Packing the Ice
There are several devi,,aes used iker••l

It is advisable to store the lee ice,
