There are some advantages in a

house is really necessary. The cellar
is cool enough at other times, and

The outside grade entrance to the

ture that every woman knows exact.
ly how to appreciate. A long cellar
like this Is especially well designed
for keeping fruit, With a partition
behind the furnace, the part under the
kitchen may be kept cool enough to
keep apples and vegetables without
drying up. The cellar walls are built
with cement mortar and broken stone
or rubble. All stone wall surfaces are
ilastered outside, and the joints filled
and pointed with black mortar, which
gives the wall an attractive finish.
II the house faces the north. II would
be better to put the fruit room In the
front end OF the cellar. The north
end is several degrees cooler than
the south end, and ii is not necessary
to run furnace pipes past the partition

II is good plan To study the different
rooms before the building is started
Almost as soon as the cellar wall Is
built, you want your furnace pipes in
place, You want the hottest pipe In

pipe in the bathroom.
The old-fashioned way of heating Q
house was to lead the biggest pipe te
the lower hall. and let the air float up
stairs naturally: but natural condi

to furnish good results. A good fur
mace man. II given plans before the

room without passing the air through
the front hall. There is another ex.
treme to this proposition: and that IL

other. Ventilation is just as impor

particular interest; for. travelling about

miserable pastures In every part Of

my querist is one OF those whose poor
pastures have seen. and that at last
he Is making an effort to do something
toward their improvement.
There is nothing on farm which
can be 50 easily and cheaply improved
as a pasture. An old saying has II that
anything that comes out OF the tail
OF cart will improve grass; and al
though there is great deal OF truth
In this remark. yet a little knowledge
Of what the pasture really requires
will help considerably toward improv-
Ing II at low cost.
Newly sown down grasses nearly al
ways require the addition OF nitrogen
to stimulate their growth. both above
and below ground. There is not the
slightest doubt that the best form in
which this can be supplied is as q
dressing Of farmyard manure. but
where this Is not available. 1t is aston
ishing what can be done with 100 or
l50 pounds of nitrate Of soda or 100
pounds Of sulphate OF ammonia per
acre. provided the field is grazed and
not moved.
II would be well. however, when en-
couraging the grass BY means OF nj
trate OF soda or sulphate OF ammonia.

dance OF mineral matter present in
the soil and to add at the same time
