Two studs formed the seat for the fur

The illustration shows a cellar under

floor of the barn removed to enable the
reader to look down into the cellar.
The cut is incomplete in all its parts

able to use second bottom or parti-
ton midway in height and lengthwise
of the bins.
A cellar can be fitted for very little

Will last Hletlme. The portable bot
toms can be laid one side to clean the

hurried into such cellar, and they will
keep.
To prove the value of the air spacing, I
remember that one winter the men neg
Iected to place the bottom in one of
the bins, and half the roots in it rotted.
This method is efficient, and can be eff
fected at but little cost above one years

you will, the roots do not like light,
must have ventilation, and keep best in
temperature just above the freezing
point. Cellars with southern exposures
are usually failures.-D. E. Howatt, in

CELLAR ROOT BINS.
When Constructed Properly They Are
of Immense Value to Garden
ers and Stockmen.

Roots stored in large bulk exclude
air, and this condition promotes decay,
especially when they are gathered hur-
riedly and not properly cleaned; the
falls oftentimes wet, and roots gathered
in such weather have to be rehandled
or sorted during the winter. Some
years ago, the writer had occasion to
reft an old cellar for a large crop of
roots-carrots, mangels, potatoes and
turnips. This was done by placing two
by four hemlock studs about three feet
apart up and down against the ends
and sides of the cellar; one by two
Turing strips were nailed to the stud
ding, spacing the Turing about one
inch between the Stats. Then, at inter-
walls of 80 inches, upright studs were

PRESERVING FLAVOR.
~ome Points to BE Considered and
Precautions to BE Taken in the
Evaporation of Fruit.

In evaporating fruit to develop fruit
sugar fruit cells must be kept whole
and for this purpose it is necessary
that the temperature should not be too
high at first, as excessive heat bursts
the cells, which prevents the proper
chemical change taking place, says the
Northwest Horticulturist. If circula-
ton is sufficient the heat should be
increased during the curing process.
This will develop fruit sugar while the
moisture is being carried off in the
best possible manner, and the fruit will
be sweeter, heavier and have its nat
ural flavor preserved better than if a
high heat is used at the beginning.
Fruit not properly ripened is insipid
or tasteless. The saccharine ferment
that is necessary in all fruit to change
the different properties into fruit SUI
gar has not taken place. Now if this
agent is allowed to continue a certain
length of time it will carry out the
natural law in ripening up the fruit.
The value of heat, if properly applied,
is to coagulate albumen, drive out ex-
cess of moisture, to prevent fermen Ia
ton. Fruit properly cured is sweet,
heavy, wholesome and will keep longer
than if cooked" by too high heat, es-
pecially at the beginning and by hav-
ing insufficient circulation of air. 1t
will also sell better and can be handled
at less expense than by the former i'm
proper method. The same principles
in regard to circulation of air and heat
also applies to vegetables.
