Special Sense of Animals.

DR.. Werner, of Vienna, has lately
printed the results of his observations
upon the special senses of animals, espe-
cially upon the sense of reptiles and
amphibians. He concludes that these
latter are capable of going directly to-
ward water, which attracts them, so
to say, even at long distances. Light
acts upon them, independently of heat.
Their sight is generally good and
is probably their most acute sense;
yet their vision is very limited.
Crocodiles cannot distinguish a man at
distances above ten times their length.
Fish see for only short distances. The
vision OF serpents is poor. The boa
constructor, for example, can see no
further than third of it's own length.
Some snakes see no further than one
eighth of their length. Frogs are bet
ter endowed and see 20 times their
length. The hearing of all these
animals is even worse than their sight.
Most reptiles are deaf, especially boa
constructors. Deaf as an adder" NAV
represent careful observation of our
ancestors.-Medical News.

AN IDEAL CORN CRIB.
The Style Here Described Has Been In
Use for Twenty Years to Every
bOdy's Satisfaction.

A corn crib in construction for over
20 years has never had a rat, and but
one mouse, in it to ones knowledge.
Posts ten or eleven feet long and eight
inches square; mortise two feet from
one end; for side and end sills, two
tnch-mortise with tusk. Taper posts
from sill to the end by hewing off in
side until the end is reduced to four
inches in diameter; make smooth with
drawknife and nail on tin smoothly,
halfway to the end, below the sill. Let
the sill be eight inches square; also
end-tie them and the rafter plates,
strong, with moderate inter-ties. Brace
well and lath up and down with three
quarter inch lath; dovetail or counter
sink joists crosswise; lay the floor and
boards; let each bent be IL feet long.
six feet wide at the sill and seven and
one-half feet at the plate, with 14-foot
floor, and if full to peak, it will hold
$50 bushels. There was never an ear
to be found hurt on account of the
great width. If preferred, lay the floor
with narrow boards, with room for
ventilation. Each post should stand
on stone, about three inches from the
ground and each stone have a founda-
tion two feet square, and below the
frost to last long.-Ella M. Hess. in

and corn crib SOx12 feet runs through
the center of the barn. The lower boards
of the crib are hinged, and feed boxes
built on level with the crib bottom, so
as to make practically a self-feeder,
especially when feeding shelled corn.
Hogs sleep under the corncrib.
Hayracks on the sides are 80 feet long.
Hay is put in at the ends of the barn.
Sliding doors, controlled by weights,
are used at the ends of the NOW. They
are closed when the hay is in the NOW.
There are doors alongside the haymow.
When filling the NOW we leave space
of four feet between the hay and the
sides of the barn, which enables us to
throw the hay into the racks when feed
ing. The south end is open. The north
end has doors which we close in bad
weather. We have lots on the north,
south and east of the barn and scales
east of the barn, so we can weigh cattle
at any time.
This barn will easily accommodate 100
cattle. We are now feeding 101 head,
81 of which are Herefords. This kind
of barn is a great time and labor saw
er. We keep it well bedded and it is
always dry.
