Show Know in Place of Ice. Lat winter Luman Footo ascertained that it would cost him $15 to fill his ico house with ice, therefore he filled it with damp snow, well trodden down, at a cost of $1.25. The snow has kept very well and half of it yet remains. Of course he cannot use the snow in his refrigerator refrigera-tor and ice pitcher, but he places his meat, fish, milk, butter, etc., on tho snow in the ice house, and such articles ar-ticles keep as well as they would on ice. Thus yon see Mr. Foote has partly solved solv-ed the ice problem; at all events he Eaved $13.75 by filling tho ice house with rnow instead 6f ice. Connecticut West-urn West-urn N'cwa. |
