 Cashmere, Wash. Note the ventilator-stacks along' the roof. 



shown in Fig. 9, are opened and cold air passes through the storage during the 

 night. Next morning close the ventilators and the frost-proof construction will 

 retain low temperature during the day while it is warm outside. In winter months 

 open ventilators only on warm days when temperature is above freezing. If fearing 

 danger from freezing, a banking of snow, straw, or other roughage about the outside 

 wall will act as a protection.
