A LESSON IN MANNERS.
Uncle Theodore Has an Encounter with
Farmer Tumbledown.

Uncle theodore has an Encounter with
Farmer TumbIedown.
At one of the farmers Institutes,
Theodore Louis, the veteran teacher
of hogology, had been relating to an
interested audience of farmers how he
bred fed and marketed his hogs, Civ
ing minute details of the work, tending
brood sows, cooking squashes, clean
ing out the pens, supplying bedding
and everything pertaining to the bust
ness. As he came down from the plat
form a farmer with unkempt hair and
beard, slouched hat, greasy frock and
overalls, the latter tucked into pair
of dirty, coarse boots, met him and
said:
MIR. Louis. do you pretend to say
you feed your own hogs?"
"Oh, yes! When l am at home"
And clean out the manure?"
Certainly" said Mr.. Louis, with
smile.
WELL" said Farmer Tumbledown,
with a sheer, when q man with stiff
hat, black suit of clothes, gold
chain and shiny shoes tells me he
feeds hogs and cleans out the pen, I
don't believe him"
This rather nettled the good-natured
champion of improved Swine hus-
bandry," and he said:
my friend, did you learn anything
new of me, to-day?"
"0h, yes" said Tumbledo wn, ''all
you said about breeding and feeding
was good, but l don't believe man
who dresses like you ever feeds hogs
There was an interested group of lis
teners gathered by this time, and, with
a twinkle in his eyes. Uncle Theodore
said:
Now, my friend. let me teach you
something else. If you want men to
respect you and your calling, you must
show some respect for it yourself. You
ought to have enough ambition and
self-respect 50 that when you go to
town or TO attend an institute you
would black your boots, put on de-
cent suit of clothes and clean your
self up"
The crowd seemed to appreciate the
situation, aud Tumbledown had bust
ness som ewhere else.
1t is not the farming but it is farmers
I like Tumbledown that cause some
people to speak lightly of farm rs.

so that the corn may not absorb
moisture from beneath, and that the
cats and terrier may have a chance at
the rats and mice. However, the rats
will not infest a crib under which there
high ground with enough slope to drain
well, taking care that the foundation
is level The floor may be made of
puneheons. Trim off the slivers from
the upper side; otherwise it will be
difficult matter to shovel out the corn.
A doorway is made by cutting through
three or four of the lower poles, mailing
a board against their ends to hold them
in place A door is hinged to the out
side of the crib, and as the corn is
thrown in boards are placed inside the
crib across the opening If they pass
beyond the opening only an inch at
each end, they can be removed easily
when it is desired to take out the corn.
The roof IS made Of clapboards or of
common lumber. If boards are used,
they should be just long enough to
reach across the crib. and the weights
placed on them should be put on their
ends. Ii the boards project, they will
split in from the end to the point
where they rest on the crib 1t is bet
ter to weight than to nail the boards
down. since they must be turned each
year to avoid warping.
A pole pen can be made with drive
way in the middle, which can be used
for a wagon or machinery shed most of
the year The cribs run up to the roof
and the driveway is rooted over into a
loft for the storage of hoes, forks,
rakes and other light tools. The win
ter months furnish opportune time for
cutting and hauling the necessary tim
Der for such a structure.
