ventilation and drying before more
corn is dumped on top of it. These
racks do not interfere with the maxi
mum filling 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 SheIIing Trench.
The shelling 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 ham
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 shelling trench through
the wall in order to provide for a
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 i'm
provements would be repaid in one or

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Millions of bushels of corn could
have been saved in a 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 a 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. For
tunately, the prevalent high prices of
grains are pushing the props from un-
der this Outworn theory. The loss of

take many such losses to make this
waste loom large as a mountain.
Crib and Granary.
The specialists of the division of ru-
raj engineering Of the bureau of pub
lie roads have devised a highly eff
cient and relatively inexpensive COM
bination crib and granary which mer-
its the careful study and investigation
of every progressive farmer. This
storage has made hit with practical
farmers who have subjected it to the
acid test of extensive use under wide
range of varying conditions. 1t is
adapted for the average, general pur-
pose, corn-belt farm. 1t furnishes as
nearly ideal conditions for the drying,
curing and storage of grains as are
practical. 1t minimizes hand labor in
handling the crops, while it favors the
maximum utilization of labor-conserv-
ing machines. It 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 33 per
cent moisture. If this corn is heaped
together in unventilated cribs, much
Of it will rot and mold. On the other
hand, if this grain is properly stored
in ventilated cribs, most Of the exces.
sive moisture will evaporate in a few
days. In order to facilitate the proper
curing of the corn, as well as to per
init Of handling the grain In large
quantities, specially planned drying
racks are used in the combination
| granary under discussion.
This crib and granary is 26 feet by
36 feet in floor dimensions with a ca
pacity of 2,S10 bushels of small grair
and 3,540 bushels of corn. The over
head grain bin occupies space which
otherwise would be wasted in an aver
age crib of this character. To give
the building proper height and pitcf

tor, this otherwise surplus space is nee
essary. 1t is occupied by the overhead
wheat bin. Present-day economical
construction necessitates the use of
high studding in wooden structures
rather than the use of long, sloping
roofs.
A special feature Of this corn crib
which has been devised by the ex-
perts of the rural engineering division
consists of drying racks situated near
the top of the crib where the corn
can be suspended for from three to
ten days before being dumped into the
crib proper. On these racks the ven
tilation conditions are extremely IA
vorable to the proper curing Of the
corn. Furthermore, the crib is provid-
ed with removable ventilatOrs which
supplement the shelling trench in the
floor, to provide a correct system of
air drainage; this cOmbats the ten
0ency of moist, damp corn to damage
in the crib. AS the corn is dumped
from the drying racks 1t falls into conf
cal piles in the crib, where, over q
wide surface, it is exposed to thorough

two seasons of damp grain. The ventila-
tors which are used are readily remova-
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

AVOID ALL WASTE OF GRAIN
Where an Excess Has Accumulated in
Litter Draw II Off and Let
Fowls Work 1t Over.

In ease an excess of grain is accu-
mulating in the litter, the best way to
readjust quickly is to draw the litter,
both coarse and fine, into one or more
piles or rows, and give no more food
until the hens have worked these over
as often as necessary to get all the
food.
Another thing to guard against is
the waste through feeding very small
or finely broken grains. OF the latter,
cracked corn, in particular, often con-
tains much fine material which should
be sifted out and used elsewhere.

gases, low forms of animal life, min
ute plant growths often productive of
bright-colored, fibrous masses and
scums, and especially when water is
of peaty or swampy origin, impregna-
ton with iron. In short, Investigations
indicate that only a small minority of
farm water supplies can be classed as
unquaiifiedly safe and desirable.
Diseases From Poor Water.
Among the ailments caused or In
fuenced by contaminated water are
typhoid fever, tuberculosis, hookworm
disease, cholera, dysentery and diar-
rhea, and certain obscure maladies
that may be traced eventually to the
poisonous effects of drainage from hu-
man wastes. Figure 2 shows in a
striking manner how increased use of
pure water In Massachusetts has been
followed by decline in the typhoid
fever death rate. Frequently a home
or village supplied with water from a
mountain spring or canyon is center
Of goiter, although the possible rela-
tionship of such water to this disease
has not been proved conclusively.
Among ailments of live stock, hog
cholera, anthrax, and foot-and-mouth
disease are spread by moving water.
Hence sick animals should not have
access to streams, and dead animals
should not be left exposed In fields or
buried where drainage may carry in
fect!on to streams and water supplies.
Ones duty to himself and neighbors
should obligate him to confine all sick
animals and burn the carcasses of
dead ones or bury them deeply in
spots remote from streams, wells and
springs, and urge his neighbor to do
the same.
The vital things TO remember are
that ground water is not stagnant but
moves usually, though not always,
with the "lay" or slope Of the land ;
that its character determines largely
the character of wells and springs
that 1t is not an inexhaustible reser-
voir, but that given well yields only
as It receives; and that continued
pumping will not improve the water IN
a well II the sources from which it is
fed are permanently at fault. In
short, ground water is natural drain
age variously modified in its move
ment and character by subterranean
conditions.
Safe Location Of Wells.
Wells cannot be located in all cases
so that there may not be some pollu
ton, but the great safeguards are
clean ground and as wide separation
as possible from the probable chan
nels of any impure drainage. 1t is moi
enough that a well or spring is 80
100, or $50 feet from a source of filth
or that 1t is merely upon higher
ground. although even moderate re
moteness and elevation of the sourcs
Of supply are of service. Given porous
or gravelly ground, seamy ledge, o.
long-continued pollution Of one plot ot
land, the zone of contamination is like
ly to extend long distances, particu
larly In downhill directions and a
such times as water supplies are low
cred by drought or heavy pumping
Only when the surface of the water il
a well or spring is actually at high

ance Of safety.
Upon any farm wood lot, grove
or. windbreak is highly desirable, no
only to supply fuel and small timber
but for its beauty and the protection
1t affords.
