Special Means to Keep Different Foods Cool
A bulletin describes iceless refrigerators and earthenware devices that cool air by water evaporation. Food can also be kept cool in heat-tight containers or by vacuum-jacketed bottles, not making foods cooler than ambient. On farms cold ware from deep wells provides cooling, and storage boxes or wells over springs or brooks are used if ice is unavailable.
