Cooling the Cellars.
fAmerican Agriculturlst.l

lAmerlcaH AgrlcuituTlst,l
A great mistake is sometimes made in ven
tla'ing liars and milk houses. The object
Of ventilation is to keep the cellars cool and
dry, but this object often tails of being &C
complshed by common mistake. and in.
stead, the cellar is made both warm and
damp A cool place should never he ven
tilated, unless the air admitted is cooler than
the air within, or is at least as cool rs that,
or a very little warmer. The warmer the
air, the more moisture it holds in suspension.
Necessarily, the cooler the air the more this
moisture is CONDENSED and precipitated.
When a cool cellar is aired on warm day,
the entering air being in motion appears
cool; but Us it fills the cellar the cooler air
with which it becomes mixei chills it, the
moisture is condensed, and dew is deposited
on the cold walls, and may often be seen
running down them in streams Then the
cellar is damp and soon becomes moldy. To
avoid this the windows should only be opene
late at night-the last thing before retiring.
There is no need to fear that the night air Is
unhealthful it is as pure as the air OF mid
day, and is really drier. The cool air enters
the apartment during the night and circu-
lates through it, The windows should be
closed before sunrise in the morning and
kept closed and shaded through the day. If
the air of cellar is damp it may be thor
oughly dried by placing in it peck Of fresh
lime in an open box. A peck of lime will
absorb about seven pounds, or more than
three quarts Of water, and in this way eel
lar or milk room may soon be dried, even in
the hottest weather. A bushel Of lime alb
serbs twenty seven pounds OF water, and
still appears as dry powder In this con-
dition it will be very useful to spread over
the garden or lawn, or around fruit trees,
or it may be used for wh,tewash. This pre-
caution is often necessary in the dairy, be-
cause of the prevalence, where air is damp,
of mildews and tine various forms of mold.
The orange and red kinds of mold especially
which sometimes form upon the cream have
a most injurious effect upon the butter.
