It possible, this room should have at least one win dow for the purpose of regulating the temperature. The floor should not he concreted, as the natural earth makes better conditions for the keep ing of vegetables. Bins may be con structed for the various products, or they may be stored ln boxes, baskets or barrels. This room will also serve fis a storage place for fresh fruits and canned goods. The vegetables to be stored should be harvested when the ground Is dry, allowed to He on the surface long enough for the moisture to dry off before placing them In stor age. The tops should be removed from beets, turnips, carrots and sal sify before placing them In storage. Outdoor pits or banks are very gen erally used for keeping potatoes, beets, carrots, turnips, parsnips, cab bage and salsify. Select a well set up along the outside of the pit. Dirt Is banked against these boards and the top covered over with corn fodder or similar material. When celery Is kept In the rom where It is grown the earth Is banked up around the plants as the weather gets cold. When freezing weather occurs the dirt should be brought to the tops of the plants and the ridge covered with coarse manure, straw or fodder, held in place by means of stakes or boards.
