GOOD, BUT CHEAP.
Buff Jerseys Description OF the Re-
fri%erator He Made.


friaerator He Made.
IN 1892 put small room in q South
Dakota creamery that would hold GOO
pounds Of butter, writes Buff Jersey
in Hoard's Dairyman. The creamery
room was SO small that the refrigerator
stood only four feet from boiler, a very
trying position, but for all that the
temperature was at A. degrees We
are using q chest that | built that
holds 400 pounds Of one pound prints
and 800 pounds Of ice. | have often
weighed the drip, and when the room
was up to SO or 100 degrees the waste
was but one pound per hour. This
cooler costs just $1105 for material
| will give as brief description Of the
manner of making as possible For
room of any size make bottom first of
four or six inch flooring To start, cut
flooring enough for first course, the
width the room is to be and length;
take 2 by , inch strips, lay them down
eighteen inches apart and on them lay
wv luiChuGSSCS VI UGSI OuOIISSS bulIO-
ing paper, and on these strips nail the
flooring. Turn the floor over, SO naked
strips will be uppermost 0he strips
are three inches shorter all round than
the fiooring). Now put on two more
thicknesses of paper and lay on flooring
flush with strips Cut another set of
strips three inches shorter than the
floor you now have; lay on these two
more thicknesses of paper and put on
last course of flooring.
You now have two perfect dead air
spaces, which are better nonconduc-
tors than any filing and will always be
sweet. Inside Of room sides are put on
same as bottom except at the corners,
where, as matter of precaution, al
ways put an extra thickness Of paper
as | add the flooring. In height of
building leave enough room overhead
right. Now comes the principal fea
ture of the rOcm-namely, the ice racks.
Four inches below where the two
foot six inch line is from the ceiling
of the cooler nail securely q by 4
scantling Oh long way of cooler, up,
and three inches apart. These drip
boards rest just over drain; four inches
is room enough. Directly under the
three inch space and two or three
inches lower down place cOncaye two
by skies, one end resting on drain and
other end little higher. You now
have an open pan, can see ice every
six inches, but no water can drop on
floor The drip boards are not fasten-
ed, but can be taken down and washed
readily. The rack for ice is not
fastened, but can be removed at
any time. Make doors on same plan as
sides and bottom. This room, built as
above, will hold the same degree of
temperature at all times and is very
inexpensive. Outside can be finished
with cornice and panel work if one SO
desires. Put on two OF three coats Of
paint, anyway.
