Winter Lingering Too Long.

This is case of winters lingering In the lap of spring" said Charles A. Calhoun. q thought that the furnace had seen it's last service for the sea son and the fireplaces were ready to be closed for the summer. but grates had to be fired up on Sunday and yes terday overcoats made straw hats look a bit out of place. People talk about it's being unusual weather, but we just forget that there is always chance to get bit of cold weather from sAhe first to the middle of May Speaking, however, for myself I am anxious to get thawed out"

Looked Fine in Holiday Dress.

Birmingham looks so good in it's holiday dress of flags and bunting" said Key Miner, that l hate to see them come down, but I suppose a city is like individuals, it can't always be arrayed in gala dress. You often hear it said when fellow is dressed up abit, that he has got on his Sunday clothes,' and so I reckon Birmingham will just have to get down to her every day Hress, but she looked mighty at tractive in her finery."

SOLDIERS DIARIES

From the Montgomery Evening Adver-
 tiser.
 N COMMENDABLE movement is N\ outlined in a recent issue of G S the Sentinel, the publication of the Jewish welfare board This or ganization wants to make a collec- tion of the war diaries of Jewish sol diers and appeals to them as follows:
 Did you keep diary? If so. the Jewish welfare board wants it. The Jewish welfare board is desirous of ob- taining as many of the diaries and let ters written by American Jewish sol- diers as available. Because the Jew ish welfare board would like to make compact, for the publication in book form, of these intense impressions and reflections of the Jewish men who went to war. it appeals to all Jewish sol .diers and sailors still in the service and to those recently discharged to submit these diaries, to the board. The board will consider all diaries as con fidential, and propose to return all pa pers and documents submitted ito it"
 This suggestion is worthy of being carried out in reference to American soldiers and sailors of every creed. The diary of a soldier from his first induc- tion into the service to the final mus tering out would make most interest ing reading, both for the present and for future generations. The autobiog-

Another young feiio" said:
 "I was just on the eve of going into battle and had few francs in my DOCK ct and didn't know whether I'd ever get back again and so I took the colhs' every last one of them, and handed them to the Salvation Army lassie who gave me some doughnuts and l told her lo rather for her organization to have my money-what little l had-than anyoooy else.'
 Captain Main on Saturday told Cap tain Boutourse and myself to go over III the park and invite the boys to Visll the hut and tell them where it was. rms was just after the parade in the morning and the park was. packed and damned with people. We went over to the pavi- ion, where hundreds of boys had congre- gated and were gathered around Tn gr oups-lots of them smoking-all of them talking and laughing.

Floor Plan Of Granary.

from the drying racks 1t 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 1t. 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 filled. :
The Smelling Trench.
The Smelling trench in the floor of
the crib is another valuable labor
saver, because one man with a 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 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
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, a
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
Bureau of Publis Roads, Washington,

hand, if this grain is properly stored
in ventilated cribs, most of the Excess
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 &c feet by
SO feet in floor dimensions with ca
pacity Of 2,S10 bushels of small grain
and $40 bushels of corn. The over

otherwise would be wasted in an aver

construction necessitates the use Of

rather than the use of long, slOping
roofs.

perts of the rural engineering division

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-
dalton 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 I'M
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 1t doesn't
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 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. 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. 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.

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

In case 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.
