For fuel save corn-cobs and dry them. Also the skins of vegetables if there is no other method of turning them to use. The writer once lived in a city where there was no coal to be had for three weeks, and the inhabitants used corn- cobs for fuel. They make an intense COAL AND ICE iTT heat, soon over, and are not practical when one has other material but the cobs from corn eaten in summer time may be dried for kindling or for open fire in fall or winter. ICE It may seem impossible to go through... a summer without ice and preserve butter, meats, and other foods, but thousands of persons in parts of the earth where artifi- cial ice is not made and natural ice never forms do live comfortably without it. They have learned how to produce cool- ness by other means. Whatever method will keep heat in food can be modified to keep it cool ; for instance, the fireless cooker, and the thermos bottle. Rapid evaporation is the explanation of some methods, keeping hot air from the foods to be cooled. The Department of Agri- culture has prepared a bulletin giving directions for making an iceless refrig- erator, and it is as useful in one State as 178 THRIFT IN THE HOUSEHOLD in another, though it was written more particularly for those States with most heat and least convenience for getting ice.
