water (32 F.), thinking- the eggs would freeze. A 

 simple experiment would settle this point, giving the 

 exact freezing- temperature, as well as the effect of 

 any low temperature on the egg tissues. Again, 

 others have thought to ventilate by opening- doors 

 during- warm weather. It never happens that storag-e 

 rooms can be benefited by this treatment at any time 

 during- the summer months, and only occasionally 

 during* spring- and fall. The dew point of outside air 

 is rarely below 45 F. during- summer, and when 

 cooled to the temperature of an eg-g- room, moisture 

 will be deposited on the goods in storage, causing- a 

 vigorous -growth of mildew.
