While the lurid light yet shone from

shelves of tr, cheese rack. This pan
is about 6 feet lona, 21 feet wide,
'and 3 inches deep. In one corner is
an inch hole, which is connected
with piping to convey the melted ice
outside. This is a simple and effec-
tive method in a small curing room..
For a larger curing room with
high ceilings, the plan adopted at the
Blaek Creek factory is satisfactory:
Ice boxes are suspended from the
ceiling
and suppoi.ted by a cross
piece from two of the uprights,
which are used for supporting the
cheese shelves. The boxes are lined
with galvanized iron on the sides

the centre to catch the drip, whish
is conveyed outside. In the boxes
are nicks for holding the hlocks• of
ice. These racks may be taken out
at any time. The size of the racks
is' 3 feet wide and 10 feet long.
There should be three or four of
these in an ordinary curing room

Another way suggested by Mr.
Ballantyne is to blind a box, say

galvanized iron, -and open at top and
