Cellars are made damp 10y inconsiderate
methods of ventilation. When cellar is
ventilated in the middle of the day, in an at

much cooler than the outside atmosphere,
and when the air is admitted in the day,
is deposited as dew on the floors and
walls to the disappointment of the owner.
Cellars should, therefore, be ventilated at
eight and kept closely shut up and dark in
the daytime, especially in hot weather.
