NIT Of handling the grain in large
quantities. specially planned drying
racks are used in the combination
granary under discussion.
This crib and granary is &c feet by
SO feet in floor dimensions with ca
pacity of 2.S10 bushels of small grain
and 3,540 bushels of corn. The over
head grain bin occupies space which
otherwise would be wasted in an aver

rather than the use of long, sloping
roofs.

from the drying racks it falls into conf
cal piles in the crib, where, over a
wide surface, it is exposed to thorough
ventilation and drying before more
corn is dumped on top Of it. These
racks do not interfere with the maxi
mum filing of the crib, as the outer
rack may be fastened back on the
rafters while the inner rack can be
raised and the space below filed.
The Smelling Trench.
The Smelling trench in the floor of:
the crib is another valuable labor
saver, because one man with long
handled rake can roll the grain from
the top of the crib into the drag as
fast as the ordinary shelter can han
die the grain. In this way the attend
ant is able to prevent corn slides and
jams in the drag. The bottom of this
drag is at ground level and is smooth,
so that the drag can be easily pushed
under the corn. AS already stated,
this trench is used as an inlet duct
in the ventilation system by screening
its ends to keep out rats and other ro-
dents. At regular intervals tile ex-
tends from the Smelling trench through
the wall in order to provide for
cross draft Of air into the trench.
Any or all Of these suggestions may
be Incorporated into any crib Of SIM
liar design. The expense Of such Inn
8provements would be repaid in one or
two seasons of damp grain. The ventila-
tors which are used are readily removal
BILE, while the drying racks are hinged so
that they can be drawn back out OF
the way. The grain bins are easy to
install, and they occupy what was for
merly waste space in cribs with steep
roofs and high peaks. Furthermore.
concrete feeding floor on which corn
may be fed to hogs can be installed at
the option of the owner. Complete
working plans and bills of material for
this desirable combination granary and
crib will be furnished to any farmer in
the United States If he will direct a
request for them to the Chief, Division
of Rural Engineering, United States

CONVENIENT coMBINATloN CRIB AND eRANARY.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Millions Of bushels Of corn could
have been saved in marketable con-
dition last fall If proper farm storages
had been available for the accOmmo-
dation Of this grain. The farmer pos
sesses no regulatory powers over the
weather man; he has no control over
season, but he can fOrtify himself
against the crop losses which often
occur as a consequence Of inadequate
equipment and unserviceable shelter.
Time was, with grain dirt cheap, that
any sort of makeshift crib or bin was
satisfactory as storage for the grain
crops. In actual dollars and cents,
many farmers reckoned they could
stand the losses of a few bushels Of
grain better than they could afford the
cash outlay for the construction of de-
pendable, permanent storehouses.A For
tunately, the prevalent high prices OF
grains are pushing the props from uri-
der this outworn theory. The loss OF
several tons of corn or wheat, in view
of the present market prices, mounts
into three-column figures, and it doesn't
take many such losses to make this
waste loom large as mountain.
Crib and Granary.
The specialists Of the division of ru-
raj engineering of the bureau of pub
lie roads have devised highly eff
cient and relatively inexpensive CONF
bination crib and granary which mer-
its the careful study and investigation
Of every progressive farmer. This
storage has made a hit with practical
farmers who have subjected it to the
acid test Of extensive use under a wide
range Of varying conditions, 1t is
adapted for the average. general pur-
pose. corn-belt farm. It furnishes as
nearly ideal conditions for the drying,
curing and storage Of grains as are
practical. It minimizes hand labor in
handling the crops, while it fayors the
maximum utilization Of labor-conserv-
ing machines. 1t Is free Of waste
space, while it is equipped with detach-
able safeguards for protection against
damaged grain in the way of ventila-
tors and drying racks which can be re-
moved during seasons when they are
unnecessary.
Prevents Spoiled Corn.
Investigations have shown that corn
! which seems well matured at husking
time may contain as high as 80 per
cent moisture. If this corn is heaped
together in unventilated cribs, much
