With several outfits in the fishing field, there is every prospect that the annual outfit of salt fish will show an immense increase next fall.

The dugout pit or potato cellar In
some OF its various forms Of cOnstruc-

any other type Of storage space. In
the central and western portions Of the
United States it is practically the only
kind of storage employed. 1t is found
in its most primitive state in the arid
and semiarid regions Of the west, where
the low rainfall makes q water tight
roof unnecessary. As rule, the ex-

ing on whether the driveway is nine

length seem desirable because this is
| a convenient distance at which to set
the purlin supports.
The division walls should be double.
with an air space between. and the
partitions should be constructed with
air spaces between the boards. The
front wall of the bin is constructed in
sections similar to those of the parti-
ton walls. but it is only single wall.
This type of bin construction very ma
terially lessons the danger from tuber
heating in storage and provides a con.
venient and sanitary bin which can be
taken down easily and disinfected when
desired.

treatment provides fairly well insu-
lated roof. which requires but little
further protection except in prOtracted
spells of cold weather, when layer OF
straw or strawy manure is advisable.
The water tight roof type Of the west
ern potato cellar is admirably adapted
to storage In the northeastern and mid
die western United States wherever
good drainage can be secured. Fur
thermore, as mentioned In connection
with the cost Of construction. it Is also
one Of the most economical types OF
natural storage.
The entrance to the storage cellar.
whether for team or man. should be
provided with two sets of doors. The
vestibule or bulkhead entrance is q
convenient one and provides good pro-
lection against cold or heat.
Provision should be made in all dug
outs or storage cellars for generous
ventilation. 1t is largely question Of
preference on the part Of the builder
which type Of ventilator is selected.
The vsntilator.
A ventilat0r should be so constructed
that the opening at the top Is protected
by a cap, which may be rigid or hinged.
1t should extend through the roof into
the cellar far enough to permit a swivel
damper to be inserted and operated by
q spring or lever or else slide damper
which can be opened or closed at will.
The ventilator should be of sufficient
size to admit a reasonable volume OF
cool air and facilitate the egress OF
warm air.
| While the total exclusion Of light
| Is q very essential feature of the
construction of a good potato storage
house. it is necessary where workmen
are engaged in sorting and preparing
stock for market or for seed purposes
during the winter to employ light
Usually no provision is made for light
ing by natural light except that which
may filter through the ventilator shafts
when the caps are lifted or may be OBJ
tanned by opening the doors. This
method of admitting light can be en-
ployed only during mild winter wealth
er. Light is admitted in some storage
houses, and this system could be gener-
ally employed if desired by inserting a
movable window glass or hinged will
dow in the ventilator shaft.
While such system of lighting may
be adequate for the area of the storage
room Immediately below the shaft, it
does not provide wholly satisfactory
lighting system, and reliance must still
be placed in a lantern or lamp. The
potato storage houses constructed by
the department Of agriculture are cleo
trically lighted. and wherever electric
ity is available this method Of lighting
is urged upon those contemplating the
erection Of such house.

CHICAGo.MIAMI MOTOR ROAD
Details Of Work In Various Localities
Progress Made In Construction
10 Remarkable.

That the Dixie highway is o road
that has appealed to the people both
North and South of the Mason and
Dixon line is evidenced by report
from the offices Of the Dixie highway
association, located at Chattanooga,
to the effect that fifty counties alone
have spent more than $1,765,2 on the
Chicago-Miami motor thoroughfare In
the last six months and are preparing
to spend $6,931 900 during the coming
year, writes ]. C. Burton in Chicago
Daily News.
AS the fifty counties reporting to
the association represent less than
third OF the total counties that are
crossed by the road that links North
and South. it would not be unreason.
able to estimate that approximately
$5,3O0,00O has been expended on the
Dixie highway to date and that $780,
$4,000 will be used to put the thor.
oughfare in shape in 1916.
When It is considered that the
Dixie highway was routed only eight
months ago, the progress made in its
construction Is remarkable. The large
mileage of permanent roads built or
under contract Is an indication Of the
wonderful advancement made In such
q short time. The fifty counties re-
ferred to report that nearly one-tenth
Of the distance either Is paved or will
be paved before another year rolls
around. Using only multiple OF two
to represent the other 112 counties.
1t can be seen that good part Of the
road Is or will be Of permanent tyIp
OF construction.
The preparations being made for
even greater progress along this line
are highly gratifying to the officials OF
the Dixie highway association. Sew.
eral divisions Of the thoroughfare are
planning paved roads for their entire
stretch, the most notable of these be-
ing the links from Chicago to Danville,
ILL.,. from Toledo to Cincinnati, o.;
from Jacksonville to Miami, Fla, and
from Tallahassee to Barlow, Fla.
The reports by states show that in
seven out of the eighteen counties Of
Kentucky there has been expended
s135,OO0. In Ohio, eight counties out
of twelve and exclusive of Hamilton
county, of which Cincinnati is the
county seat, have spent $33S,OOO. Five
