brought about by having clear corn
room twenty-five feet wide above drive
way. As ordinarily built this room
would make three cribs. each seven
feet wide. Six sides would then be
necessary to hold the corn in, but now
only two are used. And still more, the
wide roof rises SO high ia the middle
that the corn room is high, yet the
sides are low.
The driveway and cupola form good
ventilation. and when picking early or
corn is green a furnace placed in the
driveway could be made TO send hot air
up through the corn. Our corn crib
would then be a dry-house, AMI our
corn could then be picked two or three
weeks earlier, thus making use of
longer days and less mittens and ex-
posure, besides getting the stalks for
the cattle before they are spoiled.
suppose IL will be difficult for some
TO get the corn up SO high. but IL farm
ers must compete with machinists they
must know how to make and use ma
chinery.
Several different elevators or ear
riers would be suitable for the purpose,
but use n box holding thirteen bushels
and raise it rs we do horse fork. Fig
shows its form and position at the
end of the wagon box, also the arrange
ment of the ropes.
BY unhitching the team from the
wagon tongue and hitching to the rope
the cofh is raised easier and quicker
than it could be shoveled eight feet
high.
The box is emptied by rod which
sticks up above the top of the box
When the box reaches the top Of ele-
vator shaft this rod Is pushed down, the
doors are unlocked and fall into the
position shown by the dotted lines, the
corn then slides ont and the box Is
ready TO come down.
When the box is down the lower door

party of girls and boys sat upon the
lawn. He had meant to join them, but
had passed where he was, with an un-
happy sense that he would not be well
come among them; and while debating
with himself he heard all.
Caleb was slow, as Denzil had said;
but he could not help seeing that his
young companions, except DenZil Gra-
ham, avoided him. He had often Won
dered why He liked and admired
them all. They were so bright and
clever that he would have been salts
fed just to sit with them and listen to
their talk. But he noticed that they
became cold and silent the moment he
joined them. He had tried very hard
to gain their good will, but everything
he did only seemed to make matters
worse.
Sitting by himself in his room, or
wandering off alone in the woods, he
had many times pondered over this,
with very sore heart. What was
wrong with him? What had he done to
offend them? Now he understood.
He hesitated moment, drawing his
rough red hand over his eyes, then
without knowing very clearly what he
through the hazels and stood before the
party.
Instantly silence fell upon the group.
Those who had been talking against
him looked a little uncomfortable;
for there was something in the boys
face which they had never seen there
before.
mo" said Caleb, as Denzil beckoned
him to place beside himself on tho
settee, "No, Denzil; only came to say
that / heard all. / did not mean to lis
ten; but I know now why none of You
like me. I'm not angry, only very sor-
ry. l am clumsy and dull. / can't talk
like the rest of you. l can't do things
that other boys can do. j wanted to
make friends with you, but somehow
couldn't. Itwasn't your fault. Isuppose
/ am different from other fellows. / am
going away tomorrow, and-and 1 hope
you will forgive me-"
He spoke hurriedly, in cholled voice,
and broke down at the end. He was
ashamed of the tears he felt spring TO
his eyes, and turned away quickly,
without waiting for any reply. He had
taken few steps when he felt hand
upon his shoulder, and Denzil Graham
joined him. The two boys walked on
in silence, side by side, for short DIS
tance, then Deuzi said, earnestly:
Look here, Caleb, you don't mean
what you said about going away to-
morrow
"Yes," answered Caleb. You see |
didn't know they hated me, or | wouldn't
have stayed SO long"
"They don't hate you" said Denzil.
Its just their talk. They don't know
you as l do, that's all "
lyon spoke up for me like brick,
Denzil," and Caleb's coarse, honest face
lighted up with an affectionate smile;

wanted to come, you may be certain
Denzil gave him an invitation"
yes" said Denzil, quietly, 81 did ask
him to come"
II can't tell what you did it for,
then" responded the one who had hrst
spoken; "for of all disagreeable stupid
creatures, Caleb Orton is the most dis
agreeable and the most stupid"
"Never says a word all day long, but
Just sits and stares, for all the world
like one of those wooden images before
tobacco shops"
Yesterday" said girls voice, Il
was trying to cross the brook on the
stepping stones. which, as you know,
are very slippery. Master Caleb hap
pened to come along, and without say
ing word he picked me up and carried
me across as if had been bundle.
When he saw was angry, he turned
very red, muttered something about
being afraid 1 might wet my feet and
went off, looking more sheepish than
ever"
''He does nothing but ride around the
country on that bicycle of his, and"
"Now, look here, fellows, and you,
Mollie," interrupted Denzil, you are
all mistaken abopt Caleb orton. Tell
me, did you ever know of his saying or
doing a mean thing?"
''N-o," reluctantly, from several of
the party.
"Well, then, tell you that Caleb Or
ton is true gentleman at heart. He
may be slow and awkward; don't deny
that. You may not like his looks.
That is matter of taste. But in spite
of his queer, shy ways, he is one of the
best fellows that ever lived"
And all this time Caleb Orton himself
stood in the shadow of the hazel hedge,
not ten steps distant from where the

"Oh. Caleb!' he cried, you are kill
ing yourself for me-
"It-is-t tough" came the gasping re-
ply, but I'll do it"
Those who watched them breathless-
" from the bank above many times be-
lievcd the boys lost, "a the yellow
waves rose over their heads and hid
them from sight. But the next moment
they would reappear, and the hope
would be renewed in the anxious hearts
of the spectators.
Poor dull Calebl They win never
laugh at you again. Everything was
forgotten in love and admiration for
the gallant boy struggling for the lii"

How they hung upon every stroke Of
that strong right arml How they
groaned and wept as they saw him
growing weaker and weaker, moving
slower and slower. Yet he still held
on.
''0ne more strolxel Anotherl lIurrahi
Saved-savedi"
Caleb heard the words as i'm a dream.
He felt his feet touch the ground.
Eager arms seized him. There was
wild, exultant cry. Some one called
his name; then he knew no more.
When he came to himself again he
found that he was lying upon the
ground. his head supported upon Dem
zirs knee, while around him stood boys
and girls, men and women. some she'd
ding tears, and all talking together like
crazy creatures.
Caleb" said Denzil, brokenly, lit is
no use trying to say anything"
Then don't" answered Caleb, smil
ing family. 'Its all right"
"And l." cried Mollie, sobbing, 'oh,
Caleb, am so ashamed"
Don't" said Caleb again. Its all
right"
When the flood subsided it was found
that only the lower portion of the
house had been damaged. The upper
rooms were still habitable. At DenziPs
request, the party remained at Mill
Farm, and three days later an open air
feast was given in honor of Caleb Orton,
and every one there heartily agreed
with Denzil when he concluded neat
little speech with the words:
"Caleb Orton, honest as gold, true as
steel, and brave as n lion. Charles

Changing Nreeds During Depressed Times

Changing &eeds During Depresseu Aih~a
Is Not Profitable.
Too many stockmen lack courage to
face adversity bravely. Years ago
many wanted buyers for their sheep at
any price. Now some Of the same par
ties are buying sheep at very high tg-
ures. The same persons probably sold
cattle, hogs or horses, too, at a sacrifice,
in or,ler to get into the sheep business
again. The woolly tribe is paying its
way handsomely in recent years, and,
following the common inclination, all
wish to rush into this line of work and,
of course, they will break it down. The
young man who has special adapta-
ton for sheep breeding is fortunate in
being able to begin at this time; but he
is liable to be tempted to try some other
kind of stock when reverses come
Several varieties of animals on the farm,
with one as a speciality, is the safer
policy, and when ones speciality Is
'down" is good time to improve by
buying better type of breeding females
as well as the best sire ones means VIII
warrant. The prosperous shepherd
should now be hedging against day OF
bred cows, draft mares, etc, while they
are cheap. The majority of farmers
cannot afford to be specialists continu-
ally; neither can they afford to aban-
don, wholly, the kind of stock with
which they succeed best. The one
who was successful with driving or
road horses ten years ago, and did
not abandon their breeding and hand
ling for the draft variety exclusively,
is destined now to succeed with drivers
more surely than he who now sells his
draft horses or cattle and begins with
the quick steppers. 1t is largely from
experience in handling any variety of
stock that profit is to come. If one is
in any line of work but half the time
(when the boom is on), he loses time in
adapting himself to the work.
Guarding against losses is difficult
even when one is familiar with the
farm animals. The kind of stock one
keeps from choice, and cares for zeal
ously and wisely, will usually, If not
always, pay better even in their de-
pressed season, than other kinds about
which he has much to learn. Nearly
every farmer can keep few hogs year
after year profitably by giving heed
to their needs Many farmers, too, can
keep sheep in moderate numbers to
advantage. Few men are not in posi-
ton to keep two or more brood mares,
and few have any good reason for not
owning some cows. Know something
about all kinds of farm animals and all
possible about one or two varieties
Two or more neighbors can cooperate
to advantage. Let one study and exper-
iment on the breeding, feeding and dis
eases of cattle and swine; the other on
horses and sheep. Each can be of much
service to the other in the emergencies
which viii frequently arise from dis
ease, accidents, etc.-Orange Judd Far

The floors are double boards six feet

These sills have tin strips nailed to

The studding (2xs) is nailed to the
