The out- side of the building, roof included, should be white- washed, so as to reflect heat. The inside of the building should be lined with good boards placed horizontally, and the space between the two boardings should be filled closely with the packing. If packing material is scarce, air-proof lining, such as is used in the walls of dwelling- houses, may be substituted for it; but the joints in this case should be carefully made, that the outside air may Fig. 61.—SECTION OF ICE-HOUSE FILLED. be excluded and that within the wall be kept stationary.
