A cheap, and at the same time efficient, root cellar has been in use at the Experimental i^tnlion at Kosthern for five years and herewith are submitted the plans. This important feature is depth. Where water does not interfere, the cellar should be excavated to a dei)th of at least nine feet and the roof placed at least two feet below the level of the ground. If this precaution is taken there is practically no difficulty in storing the roots without danger from frost. t--y\:- y jcM'^'^-'^ pcsj/^.tcr/yt s/- ffoQr z£LL(lvc feet wide with a row of posts on each side and two rows down the centre forming a passageway three feet wide. The length can bo extended indefinitely to meet the recuirements of the builder. The material indieatad ties laid in the soil without anv frame work whatever. The sides are walled np with jwplar poles, but this may not be neoes sary in the clay formation and in districts where tamarack is available it will be foiin i far superior to poplar. The plans can be modified to suit the financial capacity of the builder. Gaspipe- or boiler flues answer admirably for posts and old railroad rails for string(>rs to suppor- the roof. The roof may be protected by covering the poles with corrugated iron, thu- preventing the moisture from the surface reaching the cellar. It is important that double doors be placed at the entrance to the cellar in ord. ■ that a man may pass in or out during cold weather without exposing the contents ( the cellar to direct contact with the cold outside air. It is usual to cover the cell;, ■ in the autumn with about two feet of manure to add to the protection against frost. -'! v.- ^ r ■r\ ',- A,- ► ^ %■ ■ - I ^ ■ < t I. ^ .t\' ^■^- . \i ^-, ■- ""■"'•r ^v.
