The Most Economical In Sections Where

In such pen, if properly made, corn
will keep as well as in any crib or
house that can be devised The pen
should not be more than eight feet
wide, and two feet less width is yet
better. The length is determined by
the desired capacity. or the length of
the poles to be had. The poles should
not be large. and notched only
deep enough to prevent their rolling,
and to bring them near enough togeth-
er to prevent the corn rolling out; for
If the poles are large, or brought close
together, the circulation of air will not
be free enough. Cribs are commonly
made too close; although the cracks be-
tween the poles be two inches wide,
not enough rain to do any appreciable
damage will beat in, because the poles
will project out over the cracks. A
foundation may be made by laying
large logs on the ground; but this is
Objectionable, as the rats will burrow
under the logs. A better foundation is
made by setting blocks in the ground,
below the line of frost, and high
enough to bring the floor of the crib at
least eighteen inches above the ground,
