Floor Plan for the General Cellar.

Every farmhouse should have a eel
lar. This article is intended as a
guide to the man whose home has
been built without cellar and who
wishes to remedy the defect, and to
the man who is about to build. The
use of stone or brick as a building
material is so generally understood
that description of wall of either
would hardly be necessary. Concrete,
however. is comparatively new
form Of construction which possesses
certain advantages over both brick
and stone, writes Donald Folsom in
the Country Gentleman. It does not
require skilled workmen, is vermin-
proof. and If well mixed will be al
most waterproof
If the cellar is to be placed under
wing Of house already built, it will
be necessary to brace up the walls
until the new work is in place and
the concrete has set AS rule,
frame houses without cellars are sup
ported on isolated brick or stone
piers or wood posts. In this case
Ing from one support to another, on
which the studding or upright timbers
of the framework rest. Under these
sills heavy pieces of timber should
be placed horizontally and vertical
pieces should be placed under the
ends of the umbsrs. In this way the
horizontal timber forms a bridge sup
ported at each end with the sill rest
ing upon It. The outside vertical
piece should be set at a sufficient dis
lance from the building to be safe
from any possible caving-in of the
bank, and the inside one should be
placed far enough back to allow a
trench of sufficient width to work in
TO be dug. The snoring OF bracing
should be wedged up tightly under
the stills and made SECURE against any
possible settling OF the building when
the old supports are knocked out, for
II would throw the building out of
plumb and crack the plaster on the
walls and ceilings. In case the old
foundation is continuous wall of
brick or stone it win be necessary
tc cut holes through it large enough
to receive the horizontal piece.
When the snoring is in place the
work of excavating the cellar may be
begun. The most convenient way of
getting at the work under the house
will be to begin with the outside cell
Tar steps. The first work of excava-
tion should be in the form OF a trench.
that extends entirely round the build
ing to a depth Of FIVE inches below
the desired level of the cellar floor
and wide enough to work In con-
Yeniently. Care should be taken to
keep the outside bank smooth and
straight for it win serve as one side
OF the form when the concrete is
poured. In the bottom of this ex-
cavation dig another trench to re-
ceive the ''footings." It should be six
inches deep and eighteen inches
wide, SO that it will project three
inches beyond each side of the twelve.
inch wall that will be placed upon it.
Be sure that the bottom of the foot
ing trench is of good solid earth.
