Making Use of Refrigerator in Winter
By fitting a 3-in. pipe into the lower part of a refrigerator so that a draft of cool air from outdoors is available in cold weather, it may be used without ice for a considerable part of the year. The top is left open slightly, and a piece of cheesecloth is tied over the outside end of the pipe, to prevent dust from entering. A tin shutter is placed on the inside of the refrigerator to close the pipe in extremely cold weather. This arrangement has proved quite satisfactory for the winter storage of food.—R. R.
