LOOK AFTER TUE CELLARS.


Many farmers use the cellars under
their dwellings as place TO store their
root crops, especially potatoes, beets, tur-
nips, celery and even cabbage, which Is
not a root. II Is convenient TO do so
where there is no barn cellar or where
these vegetables are not buried upon tho
premises. But II is practice not TO be
recommended, except the best care ii
taken to keep the cellar clean and well
ventilated. Every day at about noon,
when the weather will admit OF 1t, the
outer door should be opened for an hour
or so, and even when the weather Ia cx
1remely cold the door should for that
line be partly opened. The refuse Of
vegetables also should be daily removed
and not left TO evolve deleterious gas as
soon as the temperature shall rise sufl :
cienily TO act upon il. The most danger
is in the spring, when the mildness of the
weather outside finds its way into the
cellar, and operates, II the cellar is not
ventilated freely, in producing deCompo-
stion in some degree. There is nothing
that tends more directly to produce the
most deadly fevers than filthy cellars.
The poisonous gases permeate the whole
house. And yet how frequently do we
see cellars left untouched, with all their
heaps Of vegetable refuse, until April and
even MayP We hope this word OF warn
ing will not fall on unwilling ears,
