This double bottom admits thor
ough circulation of air and is barred
and protected by WIRE netting in the
same way as the sides are. We have
dried corn very quickly by closing in
around the posts, in this case five feet
high, with boarding, and putting in a
large box stove, the pipe of which was
carried out at the end of the boarding.
A weeks drying made the corn quite fit
for grinding and salable long before the
usual time. Where large quantity of
corn is to be sold, it NAV be thus kiln
dried, in portions. as it is husked. AS
the lower part is dried first, the dry
corn may be drawn off through doors
on each side at the bottom and the crib
replenished at the top. This method of
emptying the crib obviates the necessity
for doors at the ends. rs the crib is
filled from one or both sides through
falling doors. A crib may be made in
this manner much wider than in the
ordinary way, and ten or even sixteen
feet would not be in the way if the
double flo is carried up one-half the
height of the crib.
Large cribs should be made double
with a driveway between them. and
where it is desirable an arrangement
for hosting the whole wagon body with
the corn in it, and dumping it into the
crib can easily be made. For smaller
cribs it will be found great saving OF
time to use bushel boxes for carrying
the corn. These boxes may be made
16 by Is by 102 inches. or Is by IA bv
II, or Is by II by IA, each of which
level full will hold heaped bushel or
2.68S cubic inches, which is equivalent
to a bushel of shelled corn. The boxes
are maze with solid ends of one-inch
board provided with hand holes to lift
them by, and the bottoms and sides of
bars. They are equally useful for gath
ering and carrying potatoes, and two
tiers may be put into a wagon box.
The corn is thrown into the boxes as it
is husked and the boxes are lifted into
the wagon and are quickly emptied into
the crib. All this saves much labor in
handling the heavy crop and the saving
on the whole in labor and in waste and
damage will very soon pay for crib so
constructed.-N Y. Times.

Said of Percheron Horses.
Hon. George B. Loring, Commission
er of Agriculture of the United States,
having promised to meet with the Perch
eron Horse-Breeders of America, at
Chicago, Nov. Is, 1888, telegraphed as
follows: {" 1 regret exceedingly my in
ability to be with you. Am heartily in
sympathy with your position. Physi-
clan positively forbids my leaving the
house. My disappointment is greater
than yours. The Percherons are recog-
nized as distinct breed in France, and
are entitled to Stud Book there and in
this country as much as thoroughbreds,

LEGATION of Stud Book in both countries

similar sentiments are entertained by
some of the prominent importers, nota-
bly, among them, Mr.. M. w. Durham,
of Wayne, Illinois, who, buying none
but pedigreed stock, has done more to-
ward the introduction of the finest types
of the breed than, we might almost
say, all other men, having imported
nearly 1000 since 1872.

erful Commercial Rival of the

We are accustomed to regard Uru-

show that che means competition with
the United States in the near future.
west coast of South America away from
California, and Uruguay and the Ar
gentine Republic are soon to meet our
Dakota, Illinois and Kansas wheat in
the markets of Europe, while they
threaten an eveh greater danger to
our cattle interests. With 100000, 900
sheep in the Argentine Republic, and
1000. 600 sheep in Uruguay; with 3d.
O0O.OO0 cattle in one country and 7.O00,-
900 in the other. and only about 4,O0O,-
900 people to furnish domestic consumers
between them, it is easy to see what the
supply of beef and wool and mutton
will soon be for expectation. There
is more cause tor alarm in the ranches
of Uruguay and Argentine than in the
manufactures of England and Germany.
We can compete with foreign indus
tries in the quality and price of mechan-
ical products. but we can not compete
with ranchmen who can put beef cattle
into the market at 80 and S12 per
head.
One of the greatest advantages the
cattle producer of Uruguay and Argen-
tine will always have over those of the
United States is the nearness of their
ranges to the sea. The present supply
of beef in both these countries for the
export market comes from within a
radius of one hundred miles from an
ocean harbor, in which can be found the
steamers of every maritime nation on
earth except our own. Ocean vessels
can go thousand miles up the River
Plata, and five hundred mi es up the
Uruguay River into the heart of the cat
tie country, and almost tie up to the
trees on the ranches, while our cattle
have to be carried 1900 to 1000 miles
on the cars. The geographical and nav
ig BILE conditions of these countries are
such that ours would only equal them
if ocean steamers could visit Denver and
Fort Dodge. Any man of business can
calculate the difference in the value of
the product and the differences in prof
its. 1t is claimed that the cattle COM
panies of the countries of which I have
been speaking can sell marketable steers
at 80 and Sl2 head and declare thir-
ty per cent. dividends. -Monteuideo Cor

CORN IN THE CRIB.
A Common.Sense Crib that Can Be Built
at Small Cost.


A Common-sense Crib that Can Be Built
at Small Cost.
The waste of corn in the crib is
enormous. Not one crib in many hum
dreds is sufficiently well arranged to
preserve the corn from damage and
loss. This is one of the greatest leaks
upon the farm out of many which keep
farmers lpoor and cause them to groan
out that farming does not pay"
Rats, mice, insects, mold and decay de-
stroy at least ten per cent. of the crop,
or $50, 900, 900 bushels of corn, worth
$40, DOC. 900, yearly. This self-intlicted
but enormous tax seems to be borne
cheerfully. probably because every
farmer who pays it knows he is his own
Assessor, Collector and Sheriff to en-
force execution. If some other person
were to damage mans corn to the
rest until he had invoked the aid of the
law for the trespasser's punishment. 1t
is good time now to look at this mat
ter considerably. There is time to
take such measures as will avoid
all this waste while the corn is
yet unhusked. A properly con-
structed vermin proof corn crib
will save all the loss. The dam
ages arise, first from vermin, includ-
ing in the South the corn weevil. or the
larya of the angoumis corn moth,
which is exceedingly prevalent and de-
structive; and second from the effect of
mold and heating caused by crowding
too much corn in the cribs or by expos
ing it in open, roofiess pens to the
weather all through the winter. In
many cases in the West the corn is left
in heaps in the fields, and. of course,
the loss is so much the greater. A corn
crib may be protected from four-footed
vermin by covering it with one-quarter-
inch wire netting, and with such a linz
ing as this the bars on the sides will not
need to be closer than one foot, instead
of half-inch or one-inch spaces, as is
now common. Where the weevil pre-
walls. finer gauze should be used. and
the bars must necessarily be closer
together. The protection of the corn
from the weather is the most important.
A perfectly tight roof, with wide caves
to shed driving rain. is indispensable.
But the form of the crib by which rapid
and thorough drying and airing of the
corn is secured is most important. TO
avoid too narrow crib aud waste of
room in this respect the bottom may be
raised in the form of of in This

The first annual Fair of the State

Reno next Monday. There are many
reasons for believing that it will be
an entirely successful Fair, as it is no
longer local concern. 1t is a State
institution, and while there is no
appropriation for this year or next,
the Directors hope to maintain it
until the State can give it aid. These
annual Fairs are of material value to
agriculture, mining business and all
industrial pursuits and interests.
They are valuable in advertising the
State abroad, in the knowledge gained
from competitive displays, in the
reunion of the people of the several
sections, and the exchange of ihforma~
tion ffom one to the other. 1t is
probable that every county IN the
State will be represented. White Pine
products of fruits and vegetables will
