(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A permnnent outdoor cellar for stor- ing surplus vegetables may be built of concrete In most localities at a moderate cost, by using concrete It Is possible to make the roof thus lessening the cost of construction. The site for the structure should he a convenient, location, preferably a hillside, Into which the cellar may be built. The excavation should be just large enough for the dirt walls to serve as the outside form for the concrete. For that portion of the wall which is above lie feurfnce of the ground an outer and Inner bonrd form must be used. The Inside form usually Is made of boards lield In place by scantling spaced about eighteen Inches apart. Temporary supports should be placed across the top to carry the form, so that It will be of the size and shape desired. Walls and Roof. The side walls and roof should be so constructed that there will be no joints to weaken the structure. The form for the ceiling may be slightly arched by setting a temporary line of posts through the middle of the excavation. A plate placed on these posts a few Inches higher than the height of the side walls will allow the form hoards to tie laid crosswise of the cellar, springing the ends down and securing them to the forms for the Inside of the Walls. An arch n few Inches high makes n strong roof and helps in ventilating the cellar. The roof and the Walls should he respectively 10 Inches rnd 8 Inches thick. Both roof and walls should be reinforced with Inch Iron rods.

Before the law prohibiting the manufacture of beer containing more than a very small percentage of nlcohol was enacted, the best grades of barley went to malt houses nnd only inferior grain remained on the farm to be fed. This prevented the farmers of the Mississippi t alley from realizing its hill value ns n feed. Even now the quantity of feed produced per acre is not appreciated by the average tanner. Barley Is an excellent grain feed for stock, being almost equal to corn. Then, too, it competes witti corn in but few places, as It is mostly grown outside t he limits of profit aide corn culture. It produces more pounds to many ways that wind and wind just the art of being kind Is all this sad world needs. While Wilcox. A framework of many vegetables. slats or removable slat flooring on which to set containers holding vegetables should be placed on the dirt floor, as such an arrangement affords a better circulation of air In the bottom of the cellar. As a means of admitting cool air from the outside, a pipe or duct of suitable size should be run just below the level of the floor from a point outside the cellar to the center of the floor. A ventilating flue for the escape of warm air should be placed In the roof. During extremely cold weather both ventilator ;ind air inlet should be closed to prevent freezing of the vegetables. The outside end of the air duct should be covered with wire scieen to prevent the entrance of small animals. Capacity of Cellar. A cellar 10 feet wide, 12 feet long and 8 feet high will contain the products of an acre garden. A collar longer tnan this will require more than one ventilator. The products of the average small home garden, built In the same manner as the one outlined above, con be stored In a cellar (i feet wide, 8 feet long and 7 feet high.

Quarters for Pullets The pullets should be put in their winter quarters at least a month before they are expected to commence laying, in order that they may become accustomed to their new quarters. Only strong, vigorous birds should be put in the laying pen. Keep everything around the poultry house sanitary. Before the pullets are put in the laying pens, the house should be given a thorough cleaning. Spray the interior of the house with a good disinfectant. -- Tlie feeding value of grain does not decrease when put in u silo. the acre than oats or wheat. If necessary It can be seeded later than spring wheat, and hence interferes little with t he wheat acreage in the spring-whea- t region. It supplies the needed grain feed necessary for the increase of live stock, which sometimes must come with diversified farming In the areas where grain farming Is now the only enterprise. The best lands for barley are soils that are not sandy. The best returns are obtained from earl seeding. The best methods of preparation are fall plowing in the humid-sprinregion, disked corn ground on tlie (Irent Ilains, nnd summer fallow in sections where the crop is winter seeded. The best method of seeding Is with a drill, and the best method of liarvesting is with a binder. The grain should not lie threshed too close, ns broken kernels lower the market value.
