The dimensions of my granary-you
see have got past the corn crib period
entirely-arc as follows: Length,
sills, Is feet; plates, 20 feet; width. IA
feet; total length OF posts. IL feet;
height of floor from the ground, 3h
feet. These dimensions may vary, ac-
cording TO the amount of grain To be
stored. Wide strips Of tin shield the
tops of thc posts from the invasion Of
rats and mice.
Inside the plan is as follows: Corn
in the back part, the crib running
across the end, and on each side row
of grain bins. These are arranged so
that the ends nearest the alley be-
tween, which is four feet wide, may be
removed in case they are not needed.
These empty binsafford store room for
corn shelter, or for bran or other
feed. 4 loose floor overhead also fur
nishes space for putting away many
articles which might otherwise be cast
around anywhere. The inside is lined
with matched southern pine three
eighths thick. The outside is bat

GRADE UP THE FLOCK.


Have you got that strong. vigorous
cockerel to grade up your flock, to in
crease the egg yield and build up the
size Of the birds you sell to market?
1t is quite time the bird was in the
breedingpen. becoming acquainted with
his mates and preparing for the
springs duties.
1t is an old and familiar axiom that
the male is half the pen. He may be
mated to dozen females, hence the
chicks have any one of a dozen moth
ers. but he is the father of all and i'm
parts his vigor and personality to all
the chicks.
Not only should this head Of the
family be pure-bred male. but he
should be bird of real merit. bred
with care and for a purpose. Such a
bird has the power to reproduce him
self and will certainly improve next
seasons flock. a well-bred cockerel,
one bred from meat producing and egg
laying ancestry. will decidedly i'm
prove the laying qualities of the pullets
and increase the size as we'll
1t is a common mistake to breed from
anything left over from the holiday
killings. because nothing else is at
hand. Don't repeat that mistake this
year. Start right by getting good
male bird. one that has been bred right
and is right; and his cost will be re-
turned TO you many times over in the
laying vigor of his pullcts and in
creased size OF the chickens marketed.

it that the District Attorney has
been instructed to institute pro-

The Sunday law was inforced
