the danger of freezing while some are
being removed as obviated.
Properly made, the field pit is a
friend in disguise. The error often
made is in thinking that pits for all
much. Cellars often suffer from lade
of ventilation and it is a good plan to
open a ventilator or window from time
to time to let off warmed and foul
gases.
There is scarcely a farm product
that cannot be successfully stored.
Moreover, suitable storage is easily
provided and seldom involves a finan-
cial burden. Let us store • more this
year than ever before, since some of
the things we have ordinarily procur-
ed from outside sources will not be
available this year and it will be nec-
essary to make the farm -grown pro-
ducts
roducts take their places.
Prepare Vegetable• Cellars.
If you have permanent vegetable
and storage cellars, clean, whitewash
and ventilate them now. There will be
no time for this when frost threatens,
and the product of the garden must
come in with a rush.
