Look to the Cellar.
Cleaning the cellar before the winter
vegetables and fruit are placed therein
is Il most important consideration. The
work should be properly and thoroughly
done before cold weather.
Wash the windows and woodwork aud
whitewash the ceiling and walls. A
whitewash that is both a deodorizer and
purifier is prepared thus: /. =.
Pour sufficient boiling water over q
peck of unslacked lime to cover it: keel
the vessel covered during the process OF
stacking. When Stacked, add pint OF
salt and four ounces of copperas. Pour
enough water to make the whitewash OF
the consistency of thick cream. Stir thor.
oughly. Apply with a whitewash brush
or broom.

If very damp, an artificial drain should
be made. Slight. dampness may be
overcome by keeping pailful Of un
Stacked lime in the cellar, and as soor
as it absorbs enough moisture to render
it fine, like powder, replace 1t with fresh
lime. Moisture Is a producer Of decay
and decay is one, of the greatest enc
mics to be guarded against in the cellar
says writer in What To Eat
Cellars under kitchens and living
rooms are usually too warm for the per
| feet keeping of vegetables. To prevent
sprouting and decaying Of vegetables the
cellar must be cool; the temporal urt
should be just above the freezing point
Do not close the cellar window in thu
| fall until there is danger of freezing
Make frequent examinations Of all the
vegetables and remove at once any thai
show signs Of decay. Decaying matter
| will vitiate the atmosphere of the cellar
| and if allowed to remain will spread
! through the whole house and cause sick
ness in the family.
The shelves and cupboarls. if there ar,
any, should be washed with hot water
every week. If milk or anything get:
spilled clean it up Immediately.
