Show cooi.i.m; noon. ITS VALl'E TO THE DAIKVMAN AND rKCIT-RAKEB. There is mareattentionbelnggiven to the construction of cooling rooms whtrelhetenipiratiirecau bo maintained main-tained at a proir degree for die preservation of dairy products and fruits. We have frequent Inquiries about the coustruction of such rooms. In most tee (ions of (he country (here will be a scarcity of Ice next summer. Xo Ice has been made in many sections, and all that wethallhave will come from the Xorth. A room can be so constructed construct-ed that it will serve for the. preservation pres-ervation of both dairy products.and fruits, and tliat will keep tho temperature tem-perature at a low degree in w Inter. When the house orrooin Is constructed construct-ed for ice an aiortmcnt is made above the room for the storing of the Ice. That isthe principle that applies ap-plies to the cooling room when ice 13 used. Tho sides of the cooler are made so they will not conduct heat, and an apartment above holds the ice. Whether Ice is Used or not of course It should lo when at all X rai tlcablc tlie construction of the rtom is the same. It Is to be made witli double walls with a space between be-tween of from six inches to a foot, and this filled with tome non-heat-conducting material. Tlie roof ought to lie double al; so should tlie doors and so should the bottom. Following these directions, w e shall j f;tt a room that will be pretty warm ; n winter. If tlie structure can be erected on the north side of a building build-ing so much the better. iYetfern lural. |
