PA. 



Though poor airing is not the only cause 

 of fungus diseases, such as stem-rot, 

 leaf-burn, etc., nevertheless it is one 

 which contributes largely to these trou- 

 bles, and the idea is to keep the air in 

 the house as sweet and fresh as possi- 

 ble. A little night air should be left on 

 until such time as it is necessary to 

 shut the house down to save fire and 

 maintain the proper temperature. But 

 when the house is closed, just as soon 

 as the sun strikes it in the morning, and 



the temperature begins to rise a little by 

 sun heat, a little air should be admitted 

 to dry up the condensation which has 

 gathered during the night. 



On bright days when a cold wind is 

 blowing it often taxes the ingenuity of 

 the most expert to maintain the proper 

 temperature and at the same time avoid 

 cold draughts. In this case a good deal 

 depends on the exposure of the house. 

 If it is sheltered from the north and 

 west the task is comparatively easy.
