RooTHoUsE AND HILLSIDE CELLAR.
or cellar, says writer in the Ohio
Farmer In introduction to descriptions
and diagrams as follow of a number
of these places:
Fig. is an end view of roothouse
made of brick. AS brick is a pretty
good conductor of heat and cold, it is
necessary in building the walls to leave
air spaces. A roothouse should be roof
boarded with matched lumber and
shingled, underlaid with two thickness
es of good building paper and ceiled
overhead with matched ceiling and
should have double doors, one pair to
swing out and one pair to swing in.
Fig. 2 shows the stone facing Of a
hillside root cellar. This is large eel
lar with bins on each side, with an al
ley between, and is provided with a
wide door. Two tight fences Of stakes
and planks two feet apart, with earth
filed in between, or of logs or stout
rails used in the same manner make a
cheaper front and give better protec-
ton against cold than stone.
A field root cellar, Fig. 3, may be
built by digging in dry ground trench
8 feet deep and 8 wide. Along each
side 1h feet below the surface notch
and bevel the earth up to the surface
so as to form an oblique support for a
joist 2 by 8.
Procure for rafters by joists, saw
them into lengths Of feet and set up
a pair, spiked together at the top, ev-
cry two feet Of the length Of the build
ing. Nail cheap oak boards on the top
of these rafters so as to cover it COM
pletely. Cover this roof IL to 1S inches
deep with earth and sod it neatly,
drawing the sod on each side to a gut
ter which will lead away the water of
the rains.
The ends may be closed with double
boarding and filled in between with
sawdust. In the gable ends over the
top of the doors it should be supplied
with movable shutters for ventilation.
In light soils it will be necessary to
place a stone or brick or post and
board wall against the side of the Gel
lar. Such cellar will last many years
and is thoroughly frostproof. If made
30 feet long, it will hold, being filled
only to the caves, about 700 bushels.
1t may of course be made wider and
higher and have root bins on each side,
with passageway between them
Fig. is a cheap roothouse made Of
slabs. Fig. 3 is half of cross section.
