THE CORN CRIB

nE SSNNN SF'e
Now that "the frost is on the pump
kin and the folders In the shock"
IL is a good thing to spend the leis-
ure days OF the next few weeks In
preparing for the final saving Of the
bountiful harvest OF this fat year.
Probably you have the largest crop
of corn to gather that you have had
in years. Where are you going to put
II? Is the old crib large enough TO
hold IL, and in good repair? IL not
sure about this examine to see II
the stills are sound. and strong enough
to bear the additional load. Much
loss might be caused by its breaking
down when full OF corn.
A plain crib 6x14 feet made Of poles
or rails with puncheon floor and good
board roof will cost nothing but the
work OF making It. Stone can be laid
In the ground and to a height Of
about foot above ground to support
short wooden pillars about 2 feet
long. Upon these pillars the crib Is
TO rest. These pillars should be well
wrapped with galvanized iron or tin
to prevent rats and mice from get
ting to the corn. A crib built In this
way to keep out rats will often pay
for itself In a year or two by the
corn 1t saves.
Those who have lumber or can get
1t readily, can build much neater
looking crib at small expense. The
sligo OF the crib built should be govern
ed by the corn you are likely to have.
A crib 6 feet wide, 16 feet long and
feet high. inside measurement, will
hold 400 bushels. II you will have 800
bushels It would need to be 20
feet long and 6 feet wide by s feet
high. II you do not expect to need
room in this crib for more than 800
bushels 1t would only need to be p
feet long.
From this we can make an easy
rule for determining the size crib TO
build: Every 4 feet of length Of
crib feet wide and feet high will
hold 100 bushels Of car corn.
The frame crib can be made rat
proof by building the foundation the
same as described for the pole or
ral orih Thara ahnuld ha a nillar
on each side for at least every s
feet of length Of the crib. Stills should
be Axe in. or two 2x6 pieces spiked
together. There should be joists,
2x6, running across the crib about 3
feet apart 80 that the boards Of the
floor can run lengthwise Of the crib
and be easy to shovel up corn over.
For a crib l6x6xS feet, 100 feet lin
cal or board measure OF 2x6 inch
lumber would be needed for stills.

IRON HAND IN FINLAND.


Helsingfors.-I promised recently to
send details of the formidable and
shameless attack on Finnish culture
that is being engineered by the Rus
slanized senate through the instru
mentality Of the budget FOR 1912.
Finnish money is wanted by Russia
and it is TO be obtained by means of
disallowing the ordinary grants made
by the Finnish diet for the promotion
of education, scientific research, art,
music. the lighting Of consumption and
similar aims. The list of threatened
grants is too long To be given in fun,
Among the items are the following
Eighty thousand dollars for lighting
consumption.
one hundred and fifteen thousand
dollars for building a sanatorium for
consumptiVes.
Twenty thousand dollars for build
ing a lunatic asylum.
Ten thousand dollars for promoting
Finnish literature.
Six thousand dollars for supporting
Fifteen Thousand dollars for support
ing private schools.
There are also a large number of
grants to theaters and musical socie-
ties to be cut off or reduced. and all
these societies will he in great finan
cia difficulties if the normal support
does not reach them The sums named
may seem small to the English reader,
they are not SO to the Firms.
But the most amazing steps contcm-
plated by the senate have yet to be
mentioned. The annual cost of the
elementary schools amounts to more
than $2,0O0,O00. No less than half of
the sum is to be disallowed. This
means that much OF the education of
the country must come to a standstill
and that school buildings i'm course of
construction will be left roofless and
others will decay from lack of repairs.
SO far are the Russian authorities pre-
pared to so i'm their war against civil
iZation. i'm their blind hatred of educa-
ton and enlightenment

AsYLuMs OF EQUAL SIZE.
Boards Of Control May Re- District tho
State 10 That End.

j At the joint meeting OF the asylum
boards of Michigan. held at Pontiac
last Thursday which was attended BY
Fred $. Case of Marquette a member
Of the Newberry hospital board, COM
mittee was appointed To look into the
matter of so subdividing the state that
| the number OF patients In each ot the
insane asylums will be more nearly
equal. AT present the Ncwberry asy-
mm is filled to it's capacity and the
same is true of the asylums at kala-
mazoo and at Pontiac, while there Is
room for fifty and perhaps hundred
more patients at Traverse City a
number of insane patients from the
upper peninsula have recently been
sent to the Traverse city institution.
1t appeared to be the sentiment of
the board. according to Mr. Case. that
the state should be SO subdivded that
the population of each asylum would
be about the same. There are now
about 1000 patients at Kalamazoo, 1900
at Pontiac, LOO at Traverse City and
S34 at Newbcrry There are too many
patients at Kalamazoo to get the best
results. IL is claimed, and 1t is thought
that il would be better In every way
il each institution was equipped to
take care of perhaps 1,5O0 patients
and the districts tributary 10 each ar
ranged accordingly. This plan would,
of course, nocessitate substantial adj
dition to the Newberry institution, and
smaller additions at Pontiac and Ira
verse City.
Another argument for at least chang
ing the present districts as respects in
sane asylums is that the number of
patients at Traverse City decreased
during the past year while the increase
at Newberry is from forty TO seventy
each year. All insane patients from
the upper peninsula are supposed, un-
der the present arrangement, to be
sent to Newberry, and the other three
asylums have similar districts the i'm
sane from which they are expected to
care for. This committee will report
at the next meeting to be held at
Newberry in July.

NEVER HEARD OF PARIS.

the value of French elementary schools
has just been published i'm Paris. It
is customary, when recruits join the
colors, To ask them a number of ques-
tions To find out how far their general
knowledge extends. The result or ono
such inquiry is given i'm the current
issue of L'Opinion.
OF fifty recruits, twenty-five had
never heard of the French revolution.
four had never heard Of Paris, nnc
had not heard of the Eranco-German
war OF 1870. seventeen knew nothing
of Bismarck. and eleven knew nothing
at all of Napoleon. while eight only
vcntured the vagucst guess.
Victor Hugo was u total stranger
to fourteen of the recruits. while TWEEN
ty-seven knew remarkably little about
him. Joan of Are Jared little better
as only eight of the young men had
ever heard of her, while sixteen seemed
very hazy about the heroine.

about his neck may well remember
Parlette as the giver of a good gift.
He told us that monopoly has grasp
ed so many of the good things of life
that too many think that there is moth

tribute to the trusts. Then he showed

God has given that no trust can cor

he said, "one must have lost 1t. And
