Jl m 4w" I 1 i L Cutting Ice at Fourteen Below Zero. Degrees ' For three or four years the dd -tquire hud been 'breeding a herd 1 Jerseys. There were sixteen of then; Jersey First, Canary, Jersey Second, Little Queen, Beauty, Buttercup, and all the rest. Each, one had her own Sit lie bKk that hung from its nail cat A beam of the tie-up behind her stall. In it were recorded her pedigree, dates, and the num ber of pounds of milk h gave "at mfo railMng. The scales for weigh irg the milks hung from Xhe mine beam. We weighed' eacl milking, awl jotted down the -wrfgM with the period tied to earh little book. All this was to ahow which of the herd was mowt profitable, and whk-h calves had better be kept for increase. It ii-oi a nW departure in Maine farming. Cretfn-se-pura-tors were a yet undreamed, of. A water-creamery with long cans And ice was then used for raising tiie cream; and that meant an tce-howe and the cutting1 nnd hauling home of a year's stock of Sec from the lake, which was -nearly two miles distant. We built a new ice-house near Iho east barn in Novemher; and in December the old squire drove to Portland and brought home a , complete kH of tools three ice swuws, an ice-plow or groover, ice tongs, hooks, chisels, tackU end Evervthiing had to be bought uvw, but the old squire had vis ions of g,reat proots aneaa in Jiw growing neru otdereej aeanguune.

But Addison lit it over, and asked nre s opoinion. Jle e might take the nw ie all we could make. j we ijotified them ail Id begin drawing home s the following Monday for the ice was erowiw thicker ill the while; and the thicker It got, the harder our work wJuld be. They wanted a,bout four thous and cafces: and as we would need help, we took in Thomas Edwards and Willis Munch as partners. Bot3i wvre good workers, mrul we anticipated having a rathur fine time at the lake. In the woods on the west shore, nearly opposite where ' ice was to be cut, there was- 'an cud "ahook" carap, where e kept ou food and slert at night in order to awid the long walkrJiome to meala On Sunday it snoAi M, and floored vff rrt!1 nrl Wit it ' SCini2n It wm eight degrees bei v zero on Mlnday morning, -- we took'jrvir otxtfit and "mm " ' d wf P I thd the lal j and brj a doze I Only! througf glad m camp for nave vi was a I camps, you w onder which sworn' pecial low. fl logs vt this t and 1 walls - 1 , .
