HOMEMADE scREENER.

Is usually the case when brought from
the mill. This led a Rural New York
ser correspondent to arrange an in
genious grader, which he tells about as
follows: Il made a hopper large enough
to hold hundredweight or so of crack
ed corn, with a shutoff in the bottom
so as to regulate the flow of grain.
Then with three sizes OF galvanized
wire netting i made screens about one
foot wide by six feet long. The hopper
was placed up at the head of the
granary stairway, with the screens un.
derneath in such manner that when
the cracked corn Is allowed to- run
slowly from the hopper it grades 1t
nicely into three sizes of cracked corn
besides the fine meal, which would go
to waste If scattered on the ground for
the poultry, and any one would be sur.
prised at the amount of this meal saved
even from tho hest siftcd cracked corn.
/ use No netting for the top or coars-
est screen, as want 1t as coarse as
possible for pigeons; No. for second,
and No. IL for finest.''

THE ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION.
A Few Words ot Comparison with the

With the opening Of the gates OF the
Louisiana Purchase exposition, St

Japanese Government.

IL is Row quite wei established that

over 2.50o years exactly the same form
