July 20. In order that householders may utilise spare tli.te during the summer to put their cellars in shape for the winter stor age of the surplus 'vegetable.- which will be grown on the home baldens that have been planted this year, or that may -make plans for other meth ods of natural storage, the United states department of agriculture has rejwired the following dlscussi'in on the storing of vegetables. - Home Storage of Vegetable. . To those persons fortunate ennunh to possess hind for the growing of voegtables sufficient in ctuanti for the meds of the family, stoiasso is an economic necessity. Is an economic necessity top covered over with corn fodder or similar material. When'celery Is hep in a row where it is grown the earth Is uanke up against plants as the weather getn cold When freezing weather occurs the dirt should be brought to the tops of the plants and the ridge covered with coarse manure si raw or fodder, held In p lace by means of stakes or boards. Outdoor (feYC or IVIInrs. Outdoor caves or cellars are super ior to banks or pits' in many res pects. They icq u ire no more labor to store the vegetables than an out door cellar, yet give a uniform anil low temperature during the1 entire year. They possess practically all the advantages of the bank or pit. IJUewise it I yet may be Altered at any time diir. to srow ' ing the winter for the removal of an vegetables to store. A half acre gar. j portion of the stored product without den should produce far more vege- j endangering the keeping puallty of tables than the average family can j the material that remains. The.je C'insiime during the maturing perloi j storage cellars are usually made par of the crops.-' Only a small portion ! tially under ground, although in the of the garden should be planted to (southern portion of the country they hose vegetables which must be used as soon as they reach maturity. The remainder should be devoted to crops that are to be canned, dried, or stor e. It is comparatively easy to keep by storing such vegetables -is pota toes, beets, carrots, parsnips, saHlfy, turnips, cabbage. celery. anions, sweet potatoes, dry beans, md rtrv lima beans. Some of the crops may be stored in the cellar under the dwelling, tn pita or banks, or in caves or outdoor cellars, other? c.in he kept In any dry place such a the pantry or attic. The) Storage Room In Basement . Many houses are heated bv a fur nace in the cellar. The pipes are as a rule carried under the joist, thus warming the cellar to some ex. tent For this reason It is best to l-srtition off a small room In one I corner of the cellar to servf ns a storage room for potatoes, be-ts. car rots, parsnips, salsify, and turnips, if possible this room should have at least one window for the purpose of legulating the temperature. The floor should not be concreted, as the ratura! earth makes better eond'tions for the keeping of vegetables. P.iris may be constructed for the various produrts.'or thev may be stored in inxes, baskets or b.irrels. This room will also serve as a storage nlnee for fresh fruits and canned goods. The vegetables to he stored should be harvested when the ground is dry. Tn seciions where severe freezing occurs it is well to have the cellar partially under ground. In order to avoid steps down to the level of the floor, with the consequent extra la bor in storing and removing the veg etables, a side hill location is deslr. able for the cellar. An excavation is made into the hill of the approx imate si? of the cellar The dirt from thia excavation may be used for covering the roof and for bank ing against the aides of the struc ture. A frame should be erected Ijy setting posts n rows in the bottom of the pit near the dirt walls, saw. ing these off at a uniform height, placing plates on top of the posts, and erecting rafters on these plate. The whole should be boared up on the outside of the posts, with the ex ception of a space for a door In one end. The whole structure, except the door, is covered with dirt and sod. The thickness of the covering will be determined by the location. The colder the climate, the thicker the covering. The dirt covering -may be supplemented fcy a layer ofmnnure straw, corn fodder, etc., in winter time. Outdoor, cellars are usualK left with dirtt'loors as n certain i amount of moisture is uesiranie. jThese cellars may also be made of ; concrete, brick, stone or other nia j terial Sui h cellars are to be found i in lfmny sections of the country, and miTmiimnuThhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii FOR SALE fs24 acres of fine wheat land, 2 miles north east of Weston on the Walla Walla road.

Outdoor Pits or Hank. Outdoor pits or banks are very generally used for keeping potatoes, beets, carrots, turnips, parsnips, cab- j bage, and salsify.
