An old woodshed about eleven by

these an opening about eighteen in-

Hoppers of oyster shell, beef scrap

by artifical drainage.
After t,he roots have been piled era
the yetnilators inserted the pile should
be coVered only with straw to a depth
of abbut eight inches. Later in the
season, when cooler weather has set
in, abut four' inches of earth should
be plaeed over the straw. Still later,
when this earth has become frozen to
a depth of about two inches, another
covering of straw, and earth should
be made. When cold weather hat
finally set in the ventilators should -
be 'plugged with straw.
If the pit has been properly con-
structed and tovered correctly there is
little danger of the roots Totting:. As
a precaution, however, it is advisable
to hang a thermometer in every se-
cond ventilator and to consult it 00.,
easionally. If the teraperature tiler'

is evident that heating is taking place,
and the pit should be opened op and

In the winter, as it is alwaystdark '
before the night feed, which consisted

light was turned on for a eouple of

was also supplied at the night feed-

water pan was eniptied, so as to pre-
vent its freezing solid through the
