Amasa A. Randall, one of our thrifty
farmers, has new way of maintaining
the temperature in his milk room at
slight expense, that is both convenient
and successful. He sets his large pans
closely together and surrounds them
by box, covered over the top by board
covers or by cloth screens as the temper
ature requires. In the floor he has
slide openings which let little or much
of the cool air of clean, dry cellar up
into the milk box. By this means an
even and suitable temperature is main
tanned without the cost of water appara-
tus or ice. Mr.. Randall has tried this
method for the last three years and is
highly satisfied with the results.
