STORAGE CELLARS FOR KEEPING FRUIT

West Virginia's hillsides offer excel
lent opportunities for storage cellars
for use on the farm. No farm is Com
plete without one of these cellars for
the storage of fruits, vegetables and
bees during winter; and butter, eggs
and other products during summer.
Such cellars may be constructed of
stone, brick or concrete, but because
of the simplicity of construction, low
cost and durability of material, the
last is most frequently used.
The following is taken from the Mar
ket Growers Journal, Louisville Ky:
The most popular size for the aver
age farm cellar is 10 by IA feet inside
measurement. All of the side walls
should be inches thick; therefore,
dig the hole II feet 4 inches by Is feet
inches, and to the desired depth.
Make the side wall forms of 1-inch
siding on 2x4-inch uprights placed
2 feet apart. Above. ground-leVel, use
outside forms similar to- those inside.
At the entrance end, to provide for a
doorway, set between the forms a
frame of by 8-inch stuff, by 7 feet
in the clear. Mix the concrete / part
Portland cement to 4 parts bank
gravel; or 1 part cement, 2 parts clean

POULTRY HOUSE SHOULD Be
CONSTRUCTED ON SOUTHERN SLOPE
Defnate Plans for the Construction Of Desirable Poultry
House Health Of the Fowls, Convenience. Durability
and Low Cost are Main Factors

Though an ideal location is not al
ways available, we must bear in mind
that light, well-drained soil, part
way up southern slope. should be Sc
iected, If possible, for poultry house.
The wider the building, the cheaper
1t can be built per square foot Of floor
space, 1t is needless to build wider
than the fowls will use to the best
advantage. Laying houses are now
constructed wider than formerly. most
Of them being from Is to 20 feet wide.
This enables the perches to be placed
2 considerable distance from the win
dows. thus preventing draughts on the
fowls.
The foundation for the house should
be Of concrete or brick and project at
least s Inches above the surface of the
ground, and deep enough SO as not to
be disturbed by frost. The wall may
taper to inches at the top, the width
of the sill, and should be, say inches

over matched boards, makes q com,
Portable and substantial house. The
roofing paper may double over the rear
edge, and extend down the back wall,
without any projection or caves. thus
making a tight joint, which is desirable.
In the back part of the house place
three Pinch by 3-inch roosts one foot
apart, 9 inches from the rear wall. All
the perches should be on level with
each other. Six inches underneath the
perches and projecting one foot be-
yond them. smooth and well-made
droppings board should be built to
catch the droppings at night. This will
also cover the nest compartments. An
other tight platform, 18 inches beneath
the droppings board, serves as the
floor of the nest compartments.
Two 8-inch boards, inches apart,
with 6-inch partitions every inches.
should be set at the front side of the
lower platform, for nests. Ringing at
the top of the nest compartments an
8-inch door should be provided. This
may be held shut by catch or but.
ton placed on a Pinch strip beneath
the edge of the droppings board. The
nest compartments should have a
small door at one end, which may be
closed at night to prevent the fowls
from roosting on the nests Nests are
seldom lousy if the fowls are not al
lowed on them at night. This plan
provides darkened nests, which pre-
vents egg-eating, and, besides, hens
like to lay in secluded place.
Double boarding above and back Of
the nests and roosts, with free pas.
sage Of air at the plate, is good extra
for severe winter weather.
This also makes the roost somewhat
cooler in hot weather,
The house should be provided with a
large horizontal opening or window 8
feet wide by feet long and placed
8 feet from the floor. This should
be placed in the center Of the front,
with a glass window at either side,
from the plate to 2 feet from
the floor. This large opening should
be covered with wire netting, and be
provided with a muslin curtain that
can be lowered in cold and stormy
weather This curtain front is very
desirable, as it insures plenty Of fresh
air for the fowls all the time and
keeps the house from getting damp
and frosty in cold weather. Fowls are
healthier and lay better in cold, dry
house, than in warm, damp one.
