the car, and unless special precautions
are taken 1t will overhead the potatoes
near the door, while those farther
away. especially on the floor, will fall
to get heat and become frozen.
The most successful method is to
build a false floor and walls with a
bukhead at each side of the stove so
that the hot air may circulate freely
MI around the potatoes. returning un-
der the false floor to the point of heat
ing. 1t is necessary also to paper the
entire interior of the car to prevent
90 rapid cooling of the circulating
air.
Equipping the car in this way is
somewhat expensive. but not In COM
parison to the value of the potatoes
protected. especially when the

equipped car can be used several times,
as is the case under arrangements In
Maine and other potato centers. The
Timber required for a standard car s
by S1e by &c feet, with doors 5 feet
wide, is as follows:
10 pieces 2 by inches by IA TT. long.
pieces by inches by 16 feet long.
1890 square feet of 1-inch lumber l6 feet
long.
2,250 square feet of building paper.
Place seven-foot studding around the
walls of the car about three feet aparl
with blocks behind SO that there is
total air space of six inches at the
end and an air space on the sides
four inches at the top, spreading to six
inches at the bottom. Flooring should
be laid on two by six stringers set up
edgewise and run lengtliwise of the
car. 1t is important that the spaces
should be left open at both ends sc
that there Is perfect circulation of the
warm air. The flooring and sides
should be double, with building paper
between the thicknesses.
Air Should Circulate Freely.
The spaces between the studding
should be left open at the top and bot
tom. Do not make the mistake of
mailing strip across the end of the
stringers toward the stove, as this
will prevent warm air circulation.
A special fire door is necessary for
the car, with a hole for the stovepipe.
Railroads have special regulations for
the placing and securing of the stove.
rhe car should be heated for at least
six, hours before loading, and longer in
extremely cold weather.
A suitable bulkhead-is to be built on
each see of the door. to be put in
place as the potatoes are loaded The
sacks of potatoes should not be piled
closer than eight inches to the ceiling,
us circulatio of air is essential. The
main principle of shipping potatoes
safely in heated cars is to secure per-
feet circulation of air completely
around the cargo. When the car is
fitted up in the manner described here,
heads which, of course are left sew
eral inches from the ceiling. 1t cir
culates over the potatoes. the papered
ceiling preventing too much cooling
from the outside, and then comes down
to the end of the car and back under
the floor, some Of the air currents al
so flowing down the sides between the
studding.
AS cars thus equipped come more in
TO use, better arrangements are being
made with railway companies for pre-
serving the equipment In Maine the
potato cars with stoves are returned
to shippers free of charge. and In
western states the general rule is to
return the lumber and stoves free.
Even where full freight rates are
charged on the return of the equip
ment, the expense is reasonable when
compared with the loss which would
occur from shipping in unprotected
cars.
