Anita.

One morning the newspapers of the great
'oaring city had an item about girl who
had been arrested for stealing a $40 go d
piece. They said she had great dark eyes,
and look ed up at the police justice in court
like shy, frightened bird. There WASH t
any proof that she took the money, but
there was nobody TO say shc was a good
girl, or anybody who knew her hfo before.

angry, and said she should go to the peni-
tertiary anyhow.

Shoulder braces will not help. One needs

to develop the muscles whose duty it is to
hold the head and shoulders erect. know of
but one bulPs-eye shot. Its to carry a weight
on the head A sheepskin or other strong
bag, filed with twenty to eighty pounds Of
sand is good weight When engaged in
your morning studies either before or
after breakfast, put this bag of sand on
your head, hold your head erect, draw
your chin close to your neck and walk
slowly about the room, coming back, if you
please, every minute or two to your book
or carrying the book as you walk. The
muscles whose duty it is to hold the head

scattering shot, but with rifle ball. The
bones of the spine and the intervertebral
substance will soon accommodate them

carriage, without interfering a moment
with your studies.

corn cribs in different parts of the country.
Ths illustrations this week are Tor the

portion of thu Union.
Set posts a foot or more in diameter into
fhe ground. They should be two TO three
feet high. Put inverted tin pans upon the
posts, then the rats cannot get into your
crib. Flat stones ere sometimes used for
ahis purpose but the pans ar letter. lin

CORN CRIB.

ut is always better TO have the crib raised
two to three feet from the ground, TO keep
the rats away A long time is required for
corn TO dry out thoroughly, so that ventila-
zion is required
Fig. 2 shows a corn house that meets all
needs. Some who are not old farmers may
be puzzled 10 know just what size to make a
crib All Will probably know about how
much corn they want the crib to hold
Eight feet wide and twelve feet hight is a
good size for a bin. Now take the number
Of bushels Of shelled corn you want one bin
10 hold. Multiply together the width and
height, and multiply that by four. Then
divide the number of bushels required by
this product. The quotient will DO the
length of the bin.
On the other hand, if you wish to measure
the contents Of crib or BIN Of corn, here
is the rule: Multiply the length, breadth
and height together, multiply this product
by four, cut of the right hand figure, the
result will be the shelled bushels, nearly.

Too Luxurious Growth of Wheat in
Autumn.

A correspondent Of The Country Gentle
man finds a greater danger than the Hes
sian fly to the wheat crop in the too abund-
ant growth of autumn. He says: "When
the ground is frozen and the wheat is not
covered by snow evaporation is constantly
going on through the leaves. AS the wheat
root, during the freezing weather, cannot
supply moisture the fields turn brown, the
plant dying first at the tip and extending
downward. The wheat is not dead in this
condition, for with moist weather in spring
itsends up new leaves from the root But
what has grown in the fall, and has turned
brown during the winter, is not only of no
benefit to the plant but a positive injury.
The old plan of lightly pasturing large
wheat in the fall has much to commend it..
Even the tramping of the ground, when
not wet enough to poach, helps the wheat
rather than hurts it'
