RECEIVING STOCK IN COLD WEATHER 
In event it should turn cold after your stock has been 
shipped to you and there is a possibility that there is frost 
in the box in which the stock is shipped, put the box in a 
place where the temperature is above freezing—a cellar or a 
frost-proof building, and do not disturb for 5 to 7 days, at 
which time stock can be removed from the box in first-class 
condition. Under no circumstances should you open a box 
when you think there is frost in it, it will kill it. But if 
allowed to thaw out in the bex, the stock will not be in- 
jured. Be sure and follow this practice.
