AN IDEAL CORN CRIB.
The style Here Described Has Been In:

A corn crib in construction for over
20 years has neve had a rat, and but
one mouse, IN it toaone's knowledge.
Posts ten Or eleven feet long and eight
Inches square; mortise1 two feet from
one end; for side and end stills, two
inch-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 s~moothSwith
drawknifes 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
we'll 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 u 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 neversan 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-
ton two feet square, and below the

the center of the barn. The lower boards
Of the crib are hinged, and feed boxes

as to make practically a %self-feeder,
especially when feeding shelled corn.

There are doors alongside the haymow.

of four feet between the hay and the
sides Of the barn, which enables sus to

CARE OF U PIGS.
Writer of This Article Tells why He
Has Abundant Faith In Dl-
versity of Rations.

When the pigs are three weeks old
they will begin to eat other food be-
sides their mothers milk. To furnish
them this l have a very shallow
trough, easy for. them to reach and
u OF reach of the dam, and at this
llght-lunch counter l provide them
corn meal, wheat middlings, ground
oats and skim-hnilk. l. do not furnish
these all at once, Of course, but vary
them according to their cost. 1 try
always to have skim-milk and corn
meal for them. The quantity is limited
at first, and gradually increased to
such amount as is eaten up during the
day. They thus early develop the hab-
1t of eating, and the grain and milk
fed IN addition to the milk of the dam
gives such a start toward profitable
growing that they keep it up to the
end. This makes it possible for me to
keep the SOW in good fesh and heart
without depriving the pigs of needed
nourishment.
1t is a common thing to see a SOW
with a family Of clamorous pigs, that
have not thrived to the extent they
would If the feed had been put in them,
grow SO thin, sucking her family that
she is verify yielding up her life to
the demands Of motherhood, which is
of course ascharacteristically morherly
thing to do, and embodies a very nice
sentiment, but it illustrates nc evil
dence of a generous appreciation of
the mothers abnegation by her owner
or feeder. True, We are not raising
swine s~entimentally, but we are try
ing to do it p%roftably, and mag often
miss u profit by our stinginess.
The pigs stomach is small, and needs
filling often. For awhile after weaving
l feed four times a day, and as the pigs
increase in size l feed three times a
day, all they will eat and no more.
From this time o the, bill of fare is
covered principally by corn and milk.
II the corn gets too dry and hard, ]
soak it. feed it heavily ground. also

special sense Of Animals.

DR.. Werner, Of Vienna, has lately
printed the results Of his observations
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
ssis probably their most acute sense;
vet their vision is very limited.
Crocodiles cannot distinguish q 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 Q third Of It's own length.
some snakes see nd further than one
eighth. Of their length. Frogs are bet
ter endowed and See 90 times their
length. The hearing Of all these
animals lis ever worse than their sight

A MODERN. PIG THROUGH.

trough and as wide as the fence is high
If a tight partition has been placed in
frontofthe pen, the battens b c and d e can
be fastened on the back side instead of
having the hinges attached to the
beam (k).
To feed the pigs, the perpendicular
sliding fastener ~ can be raised, the
door (a) pushed back beyond the real
side Of the trough (g)!. and then the door
(a) can be held in position by pushing
down the slide ~.
Instead Of having partitions in the
trough to prevent the hogs from stand
ing lengthwise in the trough, it is more
clearly to put pieces of plank on the
back side of a, as shown at h.. These
plank need be only three-fourthsas wide
as the trough. and straps of iron placed
on their edges and also or the edges Of
the trough will double their durability.

enhanced by memory until they are
perfectly glorious. OfScoprse, there are
very few boys who really have a nice

amounts to the same! thing.
"For instance,''ss said q writer In
Puck, "a boy thinks it is real fun to
go to bed with all his clothes on, and
lies awake fg three hours till his
father has Sought "a downy couch.
Then the boy gets out of bed, climbs
out of the back window and down a
rain spout, barking his shins and
-skinning his knuckles on the way, and
walks three miles across plowed fields
to steal q watermelon out of a farm
er's patch. And the next day, when
they have watermelon for dinner at
home, do you suppose that makes the
boy feel sore, as it would a man? Not
much. The boyghas had his fun, and
the chances are that he'llsget UP and
do the same old act all over again
day after Tomorrow.
Again, a boy thinks IT'S fun to put

The BtbIe and q stute
Express.
A Bible student has recently been fgur-
ing on how long it would have taken the
people to make the journey from Dan to
Beersheba If they could have had the
State Express. He figured that the train
would have made this journey in less than
three hours, although from a reading Of the
account in the Bible one would thinkit was a
long journey, and it was for those days with.
their limited means Of transportation.
Ezekiel, the Chaldean1 prophet, had in his
Express when he uttered the words recorded
in the first chapter of his prophecy. Look
this up and see if you do not agree with
the idea.-From the Troy Daily Times.
