WASHINGTON.. 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 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.

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
