With the long board cr1os n genera
use. the means Of ventilation IL still mor
easy. All that is necessary il to arrange
a uumbero of A shaped strips. upon which
to nail fence boards. THE distance
anart at which the boards are nailed
need not be more than six inches, since
very little corn will pass through IN
shoyeling into the crib. These ventiia-
tors must be wider or narrower TO cor
respond with the width Of the crib; for
a i2-foot crib about 4 feet wide, ana
s feet high. These are placed along the
centre Of the criband give excellent ZEN
tilation. The writer once saved a large
r OF corn by this simple means, and
the lumber was not injured for other
purposes. The present season would
see,n TO be no adverse to the drying OF
corn that much danger of injury in the
cr;bs ia liable to result. Hence these
hints in relation to a cheap and econOm
zeal means of arranging the cribs in
ordinary use.-Prdirie Farmer.
