proof structure. There are several
makes and styles of these cribs upon
the market, but the principle involved
in each is the same. A description of
two steel cribs in use on the Ohio
State university farm may be of inter
est to farmers who are unfamiliar
with this method of storing corn. They
are made of perforated galv, nized
concrete foundations. The perfora-
tions admit air, and further ventila.
ton is provided by perforated steel
tube extending up through the center
of the crib and out the top. The roof
is of steel. These cribs have a capa-
city of 500 bushels each. They cost
$50 apiece, not including the founda-
ton and the cost of erecting.
In laying the foundation for the
steel crib the excavation is made, and
foot or so of cinders is put down. On
top of this several inches of cement
are laid, then a layer of steel sheets
md finally another coat of cement
The steel sheets prevent the moisture
from rising from the SOL. The 400,

with the aid of good paddock, are

1--WE can depend on the Cossacks
to avenge Rheims" is the general
suggestion, and advices from PetrO-
grad indicate that this will be true.
The car is so bitter over the char
acterization of ''barbarism" placed
on him by his cousin, William of
Prussia, that he is not expected to
insist on handling the captured terri
tory with too tender a hand.
Evidences accumulate here to indi-
cate that the German right has been
forced to take a position almost north
and sought to prevent the turning Of
it's lines in the Noyon-SOissOns region
and that the entire force of 100000
men sent to aid Won Kluck to hold
the right has had to be disposed Of
in this way to check an allied turning
movement.
If this had succeeded it would have
compelled the surrender Of Gen. Won
Kuck and a part of Gen. Won Bue-
lows armies.
It is believed here that if the Ger
mans finally abandon their present
base they are unlikely to attempt to
hold a new line in the north Of
France. Their left and left center
continues it's efforts against the
strong French fortresses in the east
ern frontier region.
CracoW Via Vienna and Rome).-
Cracow is in readiness for battle.
Most of the nonresident non-com-

ernor has confiscated all supplies Of

(The above dispatch is in direct
contradiction to the messages receiV-
ed by the United Press from it's Ber-
lin correspondent, who is in direct
touch both by wireless and by cable
via The Hague. He states that the
situation in Berlin continues quiet
and that the prices of foodstUffs are
fixed by. the city authorities.)
London.-The Australian govern
ment has informed the home gov
eminent that the Australian navy has
captured the Island of Nauru, thus
destroying the last German wireless
station in the Pacific.
Ostend.-lt is stated here that the
Germans, in revenge for an alleged
attack on them by civilians, have
completely destroyed the towns of
Herve and Battles.
The inhabitants, it is stated, re-
sisted the demands of the Germans
to pay fine and furnish certain
quantities of foodstuffs. In the fight
that followed the Germans lost heav-
lily.
Bordeaux, France.-Despite all eff
forts on the part of the Germans to
diminish the pressure on their right
wing, the allied turning movement
continues, Gen. Joffre declares in a
report from the front received by
Minister of War Millerand.
Not only is the army of Gen. Won
Kuck retiring, he said, but there are
indications that the German center
has reached the high tide of it's re-
sistance and that it also will soon be
forced to retire to a new line.
The army of the crown prince is
reported to have established a new
line of defenses across the Mouse

says writer in the Baltimore Ameri-
can. A little brush should be spread
on top of the leaves to keep them
in place.
Cuttings of currants and gOoseber-
ries can be made and heeled in as you
would for grapes The main point
to be looked out for is to press the
earth firmly with the foot around the
lower ends of the cuttings.
Root cuttings of blackberries and
raspberries may be made this month
before the ground freezes up. Cut the
roots into pieces two or three inches
long, pack in boxes between layers of
sand aud bury in earth. Select high,
dry ground to be free from water and
deep enough to prevent roots from
freezing. This years growth of black
berries, currants, goOseberries and
raspberries may be transplanted. Dig
them up, so as not to injufe the roots.
and set them out in good mellow earth

STOPPED TRAFFIC FOR PUSSY

1t was busy day in Fulton street
Lines of trucks were bucking each 9TH

to turn back because of truck, and
her efforts soon attracted a crowd OF

Down from the corner came a po-
