pinners' . department. From the Albany Cultivator. orr-roos cellar. MES essrs. Eds. In yours of 28th of .,11. cf North Lawrence, N. Y., Feb rnakes inquiry about the construction of an out-door cellar,'"on level, sandy land." Three years ago last fall, I made an oat-door cellar for storing roots, cabbages, potatoes, &.C. It is about fifteen rods from my house, and although not on "level sandy land," I am so pleased with it, I will give a short account of its construction, as it may furnish II., or some other of your readers, with some hints that may be useful, if they wish to make a cellar . "entirely separate " from other buil dings." The cellar under my house, although drained, rs very damp and warm, too much so for keeping apples, potatoes . and roots in the best condition. Some rears I have stored large quantities of turnips ana otner vegetables in it, out every time the door was opened there would be a rush of the warm air of the " cellar, tainted with the smell of turnips, c, into the rooms of the house, which was any thing but pleasant. To remedy or abate this nuisance, I determined to - make an out-door cellar. I selected a ?pot on a moderately sloping hill-side, and excavated the earth from a square of about seventeen feet. Then firmly fitted up joists, as is done for building the 'walls of lime and cobble-stone - houses. Against the outside of the joints, I placed, edgewise, four planks, about one foot wide, arid fourteen feet long. This left the cellar fourteen feet square, inside. Procured a cask of fresh - lime," and two or three casks at a tan-yard; this had much hair mixed with, it; also a cart-load of sand; .with these Imade alarge quantity of mortar. The stones for the wall were mostly cobble stones collected about my fields. Commenced' the wall by spreading a layer of mortctr on the bottom of .the . cellar between the plank and the bank . r it. xt l :j - j.' r . -. oi carta; uieii iaiu a ..uer ol stone . twelve to fifteen inches wide, then filled up- the interstics between the stone; then another tier of stone and mortar, much like laying a brick wall. This course was pursued till the walls came even with the top cdpres of the ' planks. The plank were then raised " .their, width, and pfopped up, and another twelve inches of stone and mortar. In this way the walls on three fides Were raised to the' height of seven ..feet. . On the south side the wall was only about three feet high. From the pill on this wall to the plate, it was boarded on the . outside, and lathed and plastered inside. ' At the south-east corner is a doorway, about three and . a half feet high, two and a half wide, . with double doors, one opening into the ' cellar, the other outward; this is not rmncr hv hTrrpz.. Sills lnv linnn flip ; o J o j I wall?, and upon them a good - roof; a double floor, covered with a few inches 'of saw-dust, is the only, protection ; winter, enter the loft by a door in the " east end; " a scuttle or trap-door in chamber admits of going into the cellar nnv timo during winter. Annies and all kinds ot vegetables keep m much . better condition in this cellar than in that under my house. The cellar was 'a cheap concern, mostly built by odd jobs, and I should be unwilling to part " with it for twice the sum it cost. J ". Formerly many farmers in this section of the country had out-door -"cellars. They were usually built upon . a. side-hill; the sides walled up a suf ficient height; the top covered with . large hewn timbers, and some two feet or; more of soil over the timbers; but such cellars were damp, from the rain and snow water dripping down between the timbers; this caused them to rot after a few years, and the cellars be- . came useless. The chamber over the cellar is a con Venient place for storing rakes, scythes, ...&c, when not in use. We would just say to your corres . pondent, II., that he can safely build " a cellar on level land, wholly above ground, if he will surround the walls with a mound of earth sufficiently ' . thick -.to keep out the frost, and put over it a roof similar to the one above described. L. Bartlett.- Warner, n: u. A WDJD POWES. . :Mes sits. Eds. Believing that any information, which would be interesting to the readers of. your papers, would he acceptable to you, I communicate the following: The rapid rise in the. price of labor of late years, has led many farmers and mechanics on our western prairies, .where wood and water is scarce, to wish that some one wouia invent a wind-power that would be safe to invest m a largo scale, lor milling or any other purposes desired. I have been looking for some one among the . many wind-powers that have been in- . vented and patented for the last two . or three years, to be so constructed that the whole machinery would be equally safe in a gale as the building upon which it stood. But I find none to satisfy me that it is so upon a large scale; yet there are many that deserve much credit, and will do doubt re ceive it. During the past winter, I set myself at work to get something that would operate as a wind-power to my liking, and triumphed after several trials. The nature of it is, that it is always in a position to receive the full power of the wind, and more than can be used by any other of the same diam eter, from the fact that the wheel or which the wines are placed, is completely housed m an octagonal shaped frame-work, with doors so arranged that they can all be thrown open or shut at pleasure in the strongest wind by one person, and when open to a certain position;, they form a tunnel, or a large surface for gathering the wind and turning it to the wheel. It is simple yet permanent, and easy to build; any good carpenter can build from the drawing or model. It is a perpendicular shaft, which may extend down through tne Dunamg upon Avhich it is placed, so that it may be geared to in each story at pleasure. 1 have shown it to many, some of whom are first best mechanics, and all give it the preference, and pronounce it the thing. -Jt was patented Mav, 1856.- M. S. Johnson. Palestine, III. THE POTATOE BUG. This pest made its appearance among our vines on the 7th of July. Ins eve ral places it came a few days earlier. It is the striped cantharis, and is said to be equal to the green bpanish fly for raisins blisters. Having such qualities poultry will not eat them.- The most efficient remedy is to fill a basin half-full of boiling water; put it unler the potatoe top, and with your hand, brush the bugs with it. They cannot be drowned, for we have kept them in water for hours, and then they would revive. Hence when the water cools, it is necessary to pour more hot water into it m order to insure the des traction of all. We always bury them m addition to a good scalding. The potatoes should be examined about ten, twelve, three and five o'clock each day, for the bugs should have no quiet until they are driven away. They will leave, when disturbed, one part the patch to go to another part; hence every part of it should be daily exam iued. Under.such vigorous treatment they will leave in three or four days Exchange. The Spoxge Apple. A correspon dent asks for a description of this apple, wnicn nas oeen cultivated to some ex tent in Western New-York. Some vears ago the writer sent specimens to h. 11. JCilliott, of Cleveland, who pro nounced it nearly or about equal to the (jrravenstem, and who has since de scribed it in his fruit book, among the apples for "amateur culture. e think it inferior to the Gravenstein but it is re-commended by the free growth of the tree, its productiveness fair fruit, and by the very tender tex ture of the apple in spring, if proper ly kept through winter. It is too acid till quite ripe. It is large, roundish conical, yellowish green, slightly striped with red, stem short and in a very small cavity flesh greenish white, very tender when ripe, flavor good, and the fruit much admired . by some for its peculiar texture. Albany Cul tivator. Good and Bad Seed Corn. There has been a very general complaint this spring that corn has failed in coming up; many fields have had to be planted the second and some the third time. This no. doubt has been owing to two causes. First, the unusually wet and cold spring, and secondly, the seed not properly secured, has been generally bad. Last fall was very wet, and corn placed in large bins heated to such a degree a sin many instances to destroy its vitality. . The germ of corn is very tender particularly so and but little fermen tation is necessary to prevent it from coming up. A person in this neigh borhood, who selected his seed last fall when he was husking, and braided the husks of the ears and hung them in his crib, had scarcely a single failure in a large field indeed, he said that he had never known corn to come up more evenly in his life although he planted very early. The cause, no doubt, was owing mainly to his seed being properly secured last fall. The damage resulting from corn failing to come up, has been very great which might no doubt have been in a great measure prevented, by adopting the above mentioned course. E. W. IIer- exdeen. Macedon. K. Y. Al. Cul. Sickness among Hogs. A great many farmers at the West have lost hogs by a disease which they call the consumption. Hogs are troubled for breath, lose their appetite, and finally become so poor and weak that they can not get up. Shortness of breath and starvation are the only symptoms of the disease. lone ever recover, although some live months after being seized. The disease has been confined chiefly to hogs fed principally on corn ground with the cob, and fed inthedry state, leaving the hogs to go to the trough and drink water with the cattle when they needed it. What is the experience of farmers further east on this subject. J. u. Illinois. Corn Cobs. A writer in the Ohio Cultivator, in replying to some views of Doctor J ackson, of Boston, on corn cobs as food for cattle, takes the posi tion that they are good for cattle, and that facts observed by him go to show that they often eat cobs in preference to grass. lie also state that an animal fed upon twenty or fifty pounds of cob meal and twenty-five pounds of timothy hay will thrive better than one fed on the hay alone.
