outside the cribbing as stay when the
corn is put in. A center post is not
needed unless larger crib is made.
Wires run just above the top of the sec
ond tier of Stating from one post to
another will make them perfectly
solid. It is best to have board floor
laid on the ground, though this is not
necessary in this state il the crib is in
well-drained place. TO assist in
scooping when the crib is to be emptied,
at least two boards should be laid from
the door through the center. The sec
ond tier need not be put on until the
first is filed with corn, thus doing away
with much high scooping in emp!ying
the wagons.
To provide for door to remove the
corn, the fastening of the lower tier
should come by one of the posts, to
ened. The other end should be doubled
back two feet, where another post four
feet high is set firmly in the ground.
The cribbing is doubled around this
post and fastened there. 10 close this
opening, have short pieces of boards
from two and half to three feet long
to place crossways of the opening as
the corn is filled in, the pressure from
the inside holding them in place. No
door is needed in the upper half of the
crib.
When filled it should be we'll rounded
up, as the corn will settle more or less.
For a covering, cut willow or other
branches from six to eight feet long
and lay on the top, with the butts to-
ward the center. Fasten the butts to
the center post, if any, or together if
not, SO there will be no danger of their
blowing off. On these throw load of
long slough grass, if any is to be had,
or anything else, if not, that will turn
rain. Over this fasten wires from one
post to another, binding the roof firm
~ on. There will be no danger of
spoiled corn in this crib, as it will keep
perfectly dry.
When the cribs empty it can be taken
down, rolled up and placed out of the
way or can be used for pig or chicken
pens. The cash cost of the crib does
not exceed two dollars.-J. L. Irwin, in

A CHEAP CORN CRIB.

The farmer ia often forced to sell corn
when picked because of lack in crib

of the year. Often he can make double
the money by holding his crop few

his corn stored in dry place or stand

A MUCH-MOURNED MOTHER.
Col. Shafter Thought Twice in One

Her to Die.

When Shafter was senior colonel Of the
army he was temporarily in charge Of some
western post, and numbered in his com
mand an exceedingly bright, capable fellow
whose cleverness was continually getting
him the noncommssion stripes, and whose
escapades were just as frequently getting
him reduced to the ranks. One day this
soldier turned up at Skaters quarters with
a long face and applied for leave to attend
the funeral of his mother, who had died the
previous night, he said, in the town. The
request was granted, but later on, in looking
over the same records, the colonel discov-
cred that the same man had been granted
leave the month before on the identical pre-
text. Shafter said nothing, but couple
of days afterward encountered the bereaved
warrior on the parade ground. 'Look here,
my man," said Pecos Bill, solemnly, 81 want

that mother of yours while she was alive?"
"Well, sir--yes, sir-that is, I hope so,'

Starting In n Small Way

One way for young shopman with
little capital to get started is to lease
some ewes, paying for them at from
40 cents to dollar head annually in
wool and lambs. His profits will come
out of the half share in wool that he
retains and half the increase, and in
time he will have sheep enough on hand
to return as many as he leased and do
business for himself with what he has

How to Ship Live Poultry.

The attempt to save expense in ship
ping live fowls to market by crowding
them in coops usually results in the loss
of a large number. Thirst and inability
to rest on the journey also reduce the
birds in weight. 1t is better to have the
coops large and dry, with cups for hold
ing water at the corners and at the
sides. Should the commission mer-
chant make returns he terms the
losses as ''shrinkage," and the sums

condition on arrival by being shipped

Gov. Pingree Issues q PrOclama-
tiOn COnvening the Legisla-
ture March 22d.
TAX LAWS NEED ATTENTION
Corporations Owning One-Third
of Property In the State Only
Assessed one Twenty-sixth.

Governor Pingree Tuesday after
noon issued a proclamation at Lam
sing, converting the Michigan legis
lature in extra session on March %.
The proclamation cites the pro-
visions of the state constitution
under which the legislature is re-
quired to provide uniform rule OF
taxation, all assessments to be on
property at it's cash value.
Continuing, the governor charges
that the spirit, if not the letter, of
these constitutional provisions is
being violated, laws having been
passed by which railroad, express,
telegraph and telephone companies,
now owning at least q third of the
property within the state, are re-
quired to pay only about one twenty
sixth part of the taxes. The gov
ernor urges that taxation in many
parts of the state has become in the
nature of u confiscation; that the
situation has become unbearable,
and that under his oath of Office as
governor it is his duty to see that
the constitution S provisions are
obeyed, and that the extra session
is called To that end.

NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE.
Essay on His Life, by Ella

High School.

Nathaniel Hawthorne, the famous
author of "The Scarlet Letter" and
'The Marble Faun, was the son Of
u retired sea-captain. His ancestors
were sturdy Puritans and most of
them had made the sea their home.
1t was the great grandfather of
Hawthorne who, years before, sit
ting on the judges seat in Salem,
had pronounced the death sentence
on many an innocent person con
victed of witchcraft. Hawthorne
was born in this quaint city July 4,
1904.
At the age of four years his father
died and his mother retired from all
society. She remained in Salem
eight years, then moved to a place
belonging to Nathaniel S uncle, near
Lake Sebago, Maine, as lonely a
spot as can be imagined Here Ma
thaniel was absolutely without any
companions. amusing himself by
skating, fishing and hunting At
one time he edited small paper
In 1921 he entered Bowdoin Col
lege, in Brunswick, Maine, where he
became acquainted with Longfellow,
Franklin Pierce and Horatio Bridge.
Pierce and Bridge were the only
schoolmates he became intimate
with, and these were lifelong friend
ships.
Between the years 1923 and 1897
Hawthorne was almost hermit.
He studied great deal and during
these years laid the foundation of
his unique style. He went out
seldom by day, but in the evening
used to take long walks by the sea-
shore and through the woods. dc
visited his friend Bridge two on
three times during these years.
