Butter and Milk and Lard and countless other food products spoil even in cold weather if too long exposed to the germs in the atmosphere. Food should not be placed on the rear porch or window ledge. It is not sanitary, besides being dangerous to health. The air is full of germs, dust, soot and dirt which will come into contact with packages placed out of doors. A well-iced refrigerator is the proper place to keep perishable foodstuffs. Here the temperature is 40 degrees and the air clean, cold and dry.
