see to the kitchen. The convenien ce
of the kitchen for its use is but one

great poet. the lover Of rural things,
said Of this small business of keeping
bees: Labor in tenui. at gloria non

slowed on a trifiing matter may bring
rewards that are hot triling. Every
little thing on a farm should count It

CORN HOUSE PLAN.


4 Building That saves the Crop from
Damaging E6ects.
The accompanying illustrations from
sketches by T. f. Benton, Of Massachu-
sets. show . novel and useful plan for
a corn house. by which not only more
corn is sheltered In proportion TO the
size and expense Of the building. but.
what is Of vastly more Importance. the
corn y saved from the damaging effects
of driving rain and snow, which in
moist climates 30 seriously affect
the value of the crop in the DID
fashioned cribs. while it is waiting
u be ground or fed. The ordinary
crib has Slated sides, and the ventila-
ton is horizontal. hence the driving
rain and sno finds easy access to
every ear of corn. But by this method
the ventilation, while even more per-
feet, Is from the bottom upwards,
which entirely protects the corn from
direct exposure to the elements. The
building, which may be of any CONVEX
lent size or proportion, is placed upon
chestnut or oak posts two feet high.

The animal foams at the mouth, lies
for a few minutes and then gets up
and goes to feeding again. seemingly
no worse for its experience. The dis.
ease is due to some lesion Of the brain
and is inherited. For this a pigs
so affected should not be used for
