That’s the story on summer weather—and, also, sums up the basic feature of a mechanical refrigerator. There are few farm homes today without one. For most farmers con sider refrigerators economic neces sities; the means by which perishable food can be stored without danger of spoilage. The growth of rural power lines has led to the installation of hundreds cans of food into well water. No one will ever know how many of these so-called sealed cans leaked or how many of them dropped into the well when supporting ropes broke. But. when either happened mother’s an noyance was something best described as monumental. Few farmwives have to bother with such pioneering oper ations today, however. For, more likely than not, a gleaming, white refrigerator is within easy reach in their spic and span kitchens. Many of the newer refrigerators feature separate food storage com Cold lemonade; made in the shadc( kept in the refrigerator. of thousands of electric refrigerators on farms. This type of refrigerator features accurate thermostatic con trols which hold the inside tempera ture of the box at any specific degree of cold desired, regardless of outside weather conditions. Even on the hot test day, the temperature can be maintained safely at a point below 50 degrees. It can be plugged into any appliance outlet and located wherever it is most convenient. If the electricity is turned off tempo rarily for any reason, the refrigerator will resume operations automatically as soon as the current comes on again. Under average conditions, an 8-cubic-foot refrigerator will use about 22 kilowatt hours of power per month. Refrigerators are a far cry from the old familiar rock cellar or the uncertain method of lowering “sealed” •— partments. Maintained at a low tem perature, these may be used for stor ing frozen food or for the frozen storage of leftovers and fresh foods. Some refrigerators also offer auto matic defrosters. Others have special compartments in which butte! is kept at table use temperature, and addi tional compartments for storing fruits, vegetables, meats and other foods. And, for something novel, turn loose your ‘‘refrigerator cook” on the following recipe for peach coconut cream: 1 cup heavy cream, whipped; V« teaspoon almond flavoring, tea spoon vanilla, 2V4 thinlv sliced ripe peaches, 2 tablespoons or more sugar, cup shredded coconut. Flavor whipped cream with almond and vanillar Sweeten peaches to taste. Now fold peaches and coconut into cream and chill thoroughly in your refrigerator. (Serves six.) LOOK1 (LOOK A. R.
