4 ciently dry for this operation; foF a large
number of depredators will be destroying it

: make great havoc by waste. The quantity
: of grain is constantly growing less from the
} time cf harvest until it is secured in the
: granary. After the farmer has been to the
trouble of raising good crops, it is Of the
greatest Importance to secure them in good
= season.
