Capacity Of Corn Crib.-lt is q safe
rule, in estimating the size OF crib,
to allow two cubic feet for each bushel
of corn. BY bushel, l mean 10 pounds
Of ear corn, which Is equivalent to 56
pounds OF shelled. The rule iE Ohio
is to allow IA pounds for cob In the
fall, and 12 pounds in the spring after
the corn has been dried out perfectly.
Two cribs 30 feet long, 6 feet wide aNa
10 feet high, will by this rule hold $500
bushels. Ten feet Is too high to throw
corn easily with scoop shovel. but
there can be two openings for each
crib extending down to within I or
feet of the floor. and when the crib is
full to the bottom of these. short
boards can be placed across them as
the crib is filed, and most Of the MI
ing can be done with ease. When the
cribs must be filled to the top. q boy
or man can throw corn back to the
ends and All II. SO as to utilize all the
