Upon the top of these the sash are to rest. If your benches are in good condi- tion this will make a tight case, which is necessary. It is a mistaken idea that the case should be air tight, as I heard a man say not long ago. All that is neces- sary is to have the case tight enough to exclude all draughts or currents of cool air. In the bottom of the case should be a layer of sifted ashes or sand about two inches deep. By using the ashes fungus can be avoided if a light sprinkling of air- slaked lime is applied after each batch is removed. It is much better to have a heavy shad- ing of lime on the roof of the house than to leave the roof light and shade the sash, If the lime is applied to the roof quite thickly it will not wash oif until spring, after the case is needed no more.
