ward. 1t is thought that an opening
like this induces ventilation better.
and 1t certainly gives more protection
to the corn.
This building adds a good deal to
the appearance of the farm, because
it is a permanent structure. The old
style of low, SLATED corn crib never
has been considered much Of an orna-
ment, and its temporary character
eliminates such q building as an as
set. In taking an inventory of the
farm buildings, the old-fashioned crib
is hardly considered, but a modern.
up-to-date, twostory building fitted
with l~abor-saving machinery, adds CON-
siderable value to the farm.
There are different kinds Of elevat-
Ing machinery. Some elevators work
on the principle Of a sliding carrier.
Others elevate the grain or corn In
buckets that work In a leg which
stands vertical. Some of these ma
chimes require that a pit shall be made
| In the floor Of the driveway, while 9TH
ers have portable wooden pits or
boots. Both kinds receive the grain
directly from the wagon box.
Elevating machinery Is made to suit
every case. Some designs are port
able and some are stationary, while
others are used either way. The port
able elevators may be taken to the
railway station to carry grain from
the wagon to the farther end Of q
freight car, and the same machine
may be used at home to store corn
ears and grain in the home granary.
The driveway in this grain house
also Is used for the corn shelter when
1t becomes necessary to use such q
machine. Shelters for this purpose
are fitted with CARRIERS that take the
corn ears from near the floor In front
Of the corn cribs, and carry the ears
to the shelter, while the shelter car
rier puts the cobs into hog racks to be
hauled away to the woodshed for sum-
mer fuel. The grain from the she'll
er is elevated to the bins overhead.
The corn is afterward sacked from q
chute extending down &aong the side
of the driveway.
In case the shelled corn is q little
too damp 1t may be transferred by the
same chute and elevated into another
bin to prevent heating. In very damp
weather 1t may be necessary to handle
shelled corn several times to get the
air through it, to prevent spelling.
, There are many advantages In Z
two-story corn crib and grain house
that is properly fitted with modern ma
chinery to handle grain.

of humidity in the air In the fall varies
in the different farming sections, but
it is a good plan to provide a crib that
will give the greatest amount of ven
tilation possible to secure at reason
able cost.
Ventilation in q two-story corn crib
may be helped out by using rover
wire corr mesh inside Of the stud
ding. This prevents the ears OF corn
from stopping up cracks between the
wooden stats. When wire mesh is used
it is not necessary to have any wood
en- stats on the inside partitions. Stats
look better on the outside of the build
ing, and they prevent the rain and
snow from blowing in.
1t is recommended that the Stats
shall have beveled edges so placed
that the opening slopes down and out

at the sides are made Of lighter mate
rial.
The center driveway is ten feet in
width, and the grain bins above occupy
the same amount OF floor space. This
center driveway has a solid concrete
floor made with a smooth, hard sur
face for easy shoveling and sweep
ing.
For the easy handling Of grain for
cleaning and grading purposes, the
tanning mill is placed on this floor,
where it is driven by q belt from the
power, and the grain is spouted to 1t
from the different bins, SO 1t may be
cleaned and graded and returned to
the bins without the 8 Of a shovel.
The grain spouts conduct the grain
to the tanning mill, and the elevating
machinery carries 1t back. Farmers
in this way make a good grade OF
wheat that is acceptable without dock
ing at the railway elevators, and at
the same time they select out a small
percentage of the largest and plump
est grains to save for seed. Such seed
is worth double, or possibly ten times
the market price, and the extra value
Is secured at almost no expense.

sides are eight feet wide and 26 fee
