and spike them in place. Figure II gives a plan and ele- 

 vation of this work, and will explain the work in a more 

 simple manner than words. 



Take the one foot boards ten feet long and build two 

 square tubes ten feet long; saw one in two in the middle. 

 These are the ventilators and are placed by sawing out a 

 place 2 X 10 inches in one end and placing this over the 

 2x6; nail to it as shown in Figure II. 



The roof boards can now be put on and covered with 

 tar paper and then the whole building covered with two 

 feet of earth. A frame for the door is made by sawing two 

 pieces 2x4, six feet long and one piece 4 feet and nailing 

 together and to the building as shown in Figure I. 



Saw the eight-inch flooring the right length and nail 

 to two-inch boards six inches wide; this will form a bulk- 

 head door for the entrance. Be sure and have dimensions 

 so it will fit the frame, as shovvTi in Figure I. 



Take the thi-ee-light windows and make a frame for them 

 in the gable in each end of the roof as shown in Figure III. 

 Hinge them at the bottom so they will swing in and deflect 

 the air towards the ceiling. Board and cover both ends 

 with earth as much as possible and the cellar is finished. 



If there is any doubt as to the method of procedure,, a 

 careful study of the different drawings will clear it up.
