walls should be we'll tied together to
prevent spreading. Placing 2X4's every
four feet over" the bin partitions will
prove satisfactory for this purpose. The
space between the walls should be left
open as IL keeps the house drier and
the air space provided by the method of
construction suggested is a good insu-
lator keeping out moisture and pre-
venting rapid changes in temperature.
Ventilation is of the utmost import
ance in a potato storage house, so that
window should be placed every ten
feet along the side. In a house of the
size mentioned an eight-inch square
ventilator should be placed in each cor
ner and on each side of the stove which
should be set In the middle of the room.
There should also be two ventilators on
top of the building. The door should
be tight fitting and of the type used
in ice houses. The windows should open
outward. They should be carefully ad-
justed so as to make them fit closely.
Provision should be made for padding
the doors and windows. and all ven-il-
ators should be provided with tight-flt-
ting covers. top should be put on the
Ventilators running to the outside so
as to prevent rain from falling down
into the house. They should be four
feet wide and seven and a half feet
long. Make the sides and bottoms of
1x4 inch Stats. Place the bins inches
from the inner wall and inches above
the floor. BY this means a free circu-
lation of air around and through the
bins is obtained Another plan is to
store the potatoes in crates, thus elm
mating the bins. Place a small stove
in the middle of the house and start
fire when the workmen begin storing
the potatoes. Keep the house at tenn
perature of so degrees until the pota-
toes are cured. which usually takes
about ten days. 1t is important that the
hot moisture laden air be driven out as
rapidly as possible through the ven
tilators. After the curing period is
over allow the temperature to fall to So
degrees and keep as near this point rs
possible during the remainder of the
storage period
The bill of material to use in erecting
a potato curing house of the type and
size indicated is presented below:
