ventilating my corn crib. had some
cedar posts. | took up board at the
bottom of the crib, toe-nailed the ce-
dar post into the jOists and fastened
it at 'he top. Then | nailed to the
post on each side four-ihch strips,
leaving just about an. inch or an inch
and a quarter of space between the
strips. That kept the corn perfectly.
When removing the corn found that
what lay next to the ventilator was
quite as dry as that outside.
Any farmer can do this. He does
not need to have a cedar post. A
straight willow will do just as well,
or in fact, any other kind; but our
readers can easily see how in this
cheap way. a ventilator can be put in
the middle of a ten-fOot crib that will
dry out the corn quite as effectively
as a more expensive method of venti-
lation.
The farmer who has frosted corn
must do one of two things this year
He must either ventilate his crib, or
he must accept the price of no-grade
corn. II this frosted corn is putt ip
any large quantity in a crib Of the
usual size, and we should have even
a moderately cold winter, 1t will spoil
more or less. If We should have an
open winter, such as We have once in
a while, the loss Of this corn will be
/, a very seriouss matter.
After we have gone to the expense
of buying or renting land. and the Ia
Dor of preparing the seed bed, cult
waiting and husking, why not go to a
little more trouble and secure corn OF
first quality instead of second, third
J or fourth rate? The farmer has no
choice in the matter. He must ethel
ventilate his crib or he must stand
this loss. He can spend five cents in
insuring his corn against loss in this
way, or he can lose a dollar in the
,way of damage. Which should the
wise man do?
Suppose when this reaches your
eye, you have your corn crib half full
and on examination you find that thil
corn, when you dig down a little bit,
is moist on the surface. What are
you going to do about it? We don't
know. To use a common and expires
sive, but not very elegant phrase,
Its up to you." But you had better
determine on some way Of getting
air into that crib. 1t may be done b.
putting in some rails, or leveling II
down and putting in ventilatOr Of
the general style that We have de-
scribed, when your crib is half full
This will not do half the good that
it would II you had taken out boar
and commenced at the bottom, but II
will help some.
II we are going to improve our seed
corn so as to have medium sized ears
and cobs, with deep grains, We must
accept the consequences Of these i'm
proyements, namely, that It will be
harder to keep the corn in the crib
than with the old fashioned types
The fact Is that we build our corr
cribs entirely too large in this coun'
try. We have long believed that il
would be far better to build crib
sixteen feet wide and put in perma.
nent ventilators, than to build tenor
twelve foot cribs without ventilation.
We do not know what the season
will be. and corn that is eribbed with
out ventilation is at the mercy Of the

BETTER CROP OUTLOOK
r. G. Dun Declares Favorable Feat
ures of Business Situation
Overshadow ALI Others.

New York, May 31,--R, G. Dun
and Co.'S weekly review OF trade
tomorrow, will say:
"Four features OF the business
situation are so favorable for the
time being, at least as to over
shadow those conditions which
seemed doubtful. These favorable
features are the better outlook for
the crops, particularly in the north
west, this already being productive
in an increase in confidence and
the activity in the leading trade
centers of the great agricultural
sections.
1.-The warmer weather. which is
everywhere stimulating trade dis
tribution, the very notable eXpan-
sion, which has taken place in the
iron and steel trade, bringing pro-
duction almost to the point of
capacity and giving promise of a
year of remarkable consumption,
he greatly improved conditions,
which have prevailed this year in
the textile markets, fact, due in
part to the more normal state of
the market for raw cotton, and in
part to the condition which is the
inevitable product of low stocks of
merchandise and growing popula-
tion with expanding ones.
Activity still prevails in the
finished lines of iron and steel and
the large plants continue to operate
to capacity. Heavy speculations
continue to be made on plates and
structural shapes, and prices show
a tendency to advance. Buying oil
equipment and finished products by
railroads still is a prominent feat.
