thought necessary to dig the cellarivery
deep, or to arch It over with stone or
brick, with an air passage through it
for ventilation-a vawlt, as 1t is more
properly then termed: it is found suffi-
oient, if the cellar be sunk a few feet
below the surface Of the earth, with a
wide and shallow window on each side,
the bottom Of it level with the ground
outside; well protected with a wire
guard to keep out vermin, large flies,
&C., and provided with close glazed
sash, which can be opened and closed
at pleasure, by lifting it up to the ceiling,
which ought to be no higher than the
top ofthe windows; SO that the air Of
the cellar can be ventilated by opening
the windows Of the two opposite sides,
according to the way the wind sets at
the time, shutting them quickly when
necessary; form cold weather, the soon
er the windows are again closed, the
better. Indeed, to the management
ofthe cellar in this particular, much of
the success of dairying is to be attribu-
ted; cold and damp air being unfriendly
to the secretion of cream, and its free
proper and entire separation from the
milk. Hence, therefore, it is a bad
practice to set the pans on the brick
floor Of the cellar, they ought always
to be placed around on shelvs, about
three feet in height, and these, after
being well washed with hot water,
should be wiped tquite dry, that no
mouldy evaporation might take place
to spoil the butter. The air near the
floor of dairy is always impure, being
loaded with acid vapours and putrid
exhalations, the density of which con-
fines 1t to the lowest part of the room;
hence it is, that the doors OF some dai-
ries are made with lattice work, that
the air near the floor, as well as that
near ceiling, might be ventilated at the
same time; these lattices being furnish
ed with sliding pannels,to be kept close
in bad weather. The milk cellar ought
always to have northern aspect, and
be well shaded by trees, not growing
too near the windows, SO as to impede
dry current of air or to create moist
atmosphere; this consideration being
of more importance than would readily,
be imagined. g.. '-.,-....,.
Cellars thus constructed and carefully
attended, will, no doubt, supercede the
use of spring-houses generally, before
many years have passed away; by
which the business Of the dairy will be
rendered more agreeable, less labour-
ious, and far less inlmical to the health
of those, particularly Of females, whose
occupation it is to attend to its never
ceasing duties. ,ssh It. Miller. s
