All this heat must be lost by radiation in order that the formation of dew may proceed or the temperature fall. It is, therefore, evident that when condensation begins, the hoat evolved by this means practically prevents further cooling.

A barrel of water on the wagon is used to keep the straw wet. The wagons are driven about and do the best work, as they can go wherever the most needed.
