A layer of clean chipped ice is first placed on the bottom of the barrel,. Fig. 328. Two outside top boxes, standard roaster pack ; top center and bottom row, standard broiler pack. (Photograph from the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture) then a layer of poultry, packed in a circle with backs up and feet toward the center, the poultry nowhere touching the sides of the barrel; then a layer of ice and another layer of poultry, and so on until the barrel is full to within six inches of the top, when it is filled with larger pieces of ice and covered with bagging. In very warm weather a large chunk of ice put on top (under the bagging) will add to the safety of the shipment. Poultry thor- oughly cooled before packing, and properly packed and iced, should be safe for two days' shipment by express or for four or five days.
