after seeing it, can easily make a freezer

firer makes no difference. In the pre.
sent experiment three shovelfuls of
ice were first put in and then one of
salt, and so on alternately till the
barrel was half filled. Then the barrel was
filled up with fresh herrings and headed'.
The head of the barrel is not pointed
around the edges in the ordinary way and
