An OHIO farmer has been successful
in growing the Hubbard squash by the
following method: In spring manure
a strip OF ground extra good through
what will be your potato patch; this
should be near the middle. When
the time comes for planting squash
seeds make q row of hills on this
ground previously prepared, planting
the seeds between the hills Of the pc
tatoes. The first potatoes dug should
be those adjoining the squash row; this
will allow the squash vines room to run
without being further disturbed. Where
he has followed this plan he has never
had vine injured by the squash bug,
and. further, he gets two good crops Oh

Farm Cellars.

Farm cellars are usually made recep-
tacles for milk at this season. They
are, on the whole, perhaps better for
this purpose than any other place
where there is no specially provided
dairy, but in most cases are not very
well arranged. As rule they are not
well lighted or ventilated, are too damp
and too cold. and too often are used as
stores for Objectionable matters; or
rather these matters, such as some
odorous vegetable, are not properly
cared for and become Objectionable,
more on that account than for their in
trinsic character. But the general care
of cellars includes their proper use for
all purposes, and a few suggestions at
this time may be useful. Ventilation is,
perhaps, the most important matter TO
be considered, And this is so because Of
the fact that the cellar necessarily be-
comes filled with what we may call
ground air or air which percOlatcs
and circulates through the soil Here
tofore this fact has been wholly ignored,
and it has only been brought to notice
since the rise OF what might be called
sanitary science, This air which rises
from the floor and percolates through
the walls Of cellars at every change of
temperature or pressure is known to be
charged with much unwholesome and
injurious matter. which, of course, finds
its way into the dwelling and en-
dangers the health of the occupants. 1t
also INJURIES the milk. meat, or other
articles that may be kept in the cellar,
and is the unsupported cause of much
trouble i'll this respect. So that the
ventilation of a cellar should be very
thorough, and air should be admitted
from the purest source and discharged
into some channel by which it may be
not only carried off. but actually drawn
into it. A chimney that is in use is the
best outlet for the ventilation of eel
lar, and the outer air, brought in at least
three feet above the ground, is the best
source OF fresh supply. The next i'm
portant matter is the temperature, and
this requires much careful arrange
'ment. Because cellars are used as
places for general storage, and while
vegetables require TO be kept as cool
as possible, milk and cream need to be
kept warm. This makes division of
the cellar requisite, and separate apart
ments for the vegetables and the milk.
Then the ventilation should be also
made separate, for it will not do to
take air from the cold vegetable apart
ment into the milk-room. The latter
must be kept wholly separate, and can
be heated in several ways. A very lit
tie heat will raise the temperature of a
moderate sized cellar. A block of iron
made red hot, pan of hot water, a few
hot bricks will often warm milk eel
lar sufficiently, while pailful of water
placed in u cold vegetable cellar will
absorb the cold and prevent frost, for
the water will freeze first and in freez-
ing will give out large quantity of its
latent heat, which actually raises the
temperature of the air in the cellar
