pieces and floral wreaths from lodges,
sicieties. corporations and private in

Bad Feature Of Pavements.

That OF the wood block pavement
with which many streets of Manhat.
tan are relaid exude creosote ON hot
days and causes the tracking of much
oil into hotels and business places
in the uptown section, became known
through a number of complaints re.
ceived by William II. Edwards, street
cleaning commissioner, urging that the
department desist from 'oiling the
streets" The streets have never been
oiled. Edwards will take the matter
up with the commissioners OF public
works. They hope to persuade the
contractors who laid the pavement TO
sand the streets-New FORK Post.

BY PROF. C. A. OCOCK,
ColIeqe of Agriculture.

Each seasons experience re-em-
phasizes the necessity of obtaining
good, we'll ripened seed corn and the
advantages of building seed curing
houses upon farms where a large
amount of seed is saved each year.
Corn taken direct from the field and
dried by artificial heat, and then
stored in "A cool, dry place is almost
sure to terminate properly the fol-
lowing spring, SO the saving of crops

the construction of kiln drying
house. The total cost for the average
farmer would probably range between
5000 and $500. depending upon the
capacity desired.
The following descriptions, with the
accompanying illustrations, show how
a modern corn curing house may be
simply and economically built.
The structure rests upon twelve
concrete posts six inches in diameter
and two feet high. Over the top of
pan, to prevent mice or rats from en-
tering the building. With such a
construction, the only means of their
gaining entrance. will be by being
carried in with the grain. To con-
struct the posts is an easy matter,
for all that is necessary are two
wooden or galvanized iron forms slit
up one side. but Tapped over in such
a manner as to prevent leaking while
being filled. Two clamps should be
provided and placed so as to hold the
form securely while being filed with
concrete. A good footing should also
be provided for each post, which to
prevent heaving should be below the
frost line.
The stills of the building may be
either solid timber or built up. The
girder which carries the joist in the
middle should be of good material and
may be built up II the owner so de-
sires TO aid in carrying the joist a
piece of 1x2 inch is nailed to each
side of the girder. This will over
come the necessity of mortising and
tennoning, and also adds strength to
the girder.
The floors should be laid as soon as
the joist and stills are ready. The
studding should be erected after the
floor has been laid, a piece of 2x4-in.

A good grade of drop siding is rec
commended for the sides and ends.

sired so long as it is water tight
In the floor plan may be seen the
arrangement of the stacks for holding
the corn, while being dried, and it
may also be found desirable to store
the corn in them. The stove should
be placed as shown and connected to
the chimney, which is built upon
brackets, The brackets should be of
