Show A visit to the cellar, where there is one, at this time of the year will too often reveal a condition of affairs that ought not to exist. There will be found decaying fruits and vegetables, meats, dead rats, and altogether such a mess of filth as to tu.n a strong stomach into revolt against wha t the nostrils testify of. If the cellar has not been cleaned out this spring attend at-tend to it the first rainy half day, and give a good coat of whitewash. If this is not done, and some member of the family is stricken down with typhoid fever, don't complain of it as a bitter dispensation of Providence; but rather charge it to your own carelessness careless-ness and neglect, a good cellar well kept is a most useful thing; but a poor one neglected is a nuisance and a death trap.
