Keep Your Cellars Clean.

i -&Tlidsfi; -iwlib ‘Kvei; rii- .ehatgm-tire care of the household should frequently think of their celluts, ami. though they may not be often exposed to the eyes of strangers, take care that they are always kept in a cleanly condition, free from amqoyances and nuisances of all kinds. A tidily-kept cellar lias much to do with the health of a family, especially in the spring of the year, or 1 wherever “heaters” arc introduced into i Imuses. No vegetables, except pota- ! toes, should be stored in the cellar. Especially should cabbages, beets, cel-ery-and turnips be excluded. All these are offensive in and injurious to health, while at the same time they tire all preserved in a much 1 superior manner out of doors. A cellar should be thoroughly whitewas'.ied once a year and swept and put in order twice a month. The air in a properlykept cellar will not become impure when the Weather becomes sufficiently'cold to render necessary the closing-up of the windows; while, on the other hand, the air of a cellar so closed up, wlp'ch is- untidily kept and filled with vegetables, some of them in a decayed state, may well be imagined. All cellars* however, shoiild have the outside doors thrown open for an hour or two at midday upon clear days, when the ' tempCrat ire is above the freezing point. 1 —Germanto>’-n Telegraph.
