A Hold-up

Quite a number of harvest hands
and threshers who had finished their
jobs in Ellis county, congregated in
Hays, preparatory to taking the train
and leaving town, concluded to in
dulge in game of craps, so they re-
paired to the jungles along Big Creek
southwest of town. After they had
been playing for some time and had
s45 in "jack pot two men with
guns arrived on the scene, made them
''stick 'em up" when the yeggs pro-
ceeded to gather in the contents of
the "jack pot" besides relieving all
the other men within sight of all the
cash they had. 1t was first reported
that the robbers got about S4OO to
$500, and afterward that they secured
from $1,000 to $500. The first
estimate was probably correct.
Several shots it is reported, were
fired at the robbers as they fed but
no one was injured. No arrests have
been made.

COUNTY FARM BUREAU NOTES

Beginning this next week we will
spend the afternoons in holding
poultry culling demonstrations. The
object of these meetings will be to
aid the farmers to select the hen that
does not lay from the one that does.
This is done by studying certain body
formations, color marking of shanks
and beak, and the time of molting.
We hope to be able to give enough
information at these meetings that
men and women present may select in
their own flock the producers from
the non producers. If you are not
sure of the place of your meeting
feel free to call US and we will be glad
to let you know. The following meet
ings will be held next week: August
II, George Riede1; August 10, John

Liberal, Kas., Aug. Fire which
was discovered at IL o'clock last
night destroyed half a block of build
ings on the main street here"
The above appears in the Press dis
patches of Sunday, and Hays sympa-
thizes with our fellow town in Seward
county, as it is about the size of Hays
and cannot afford the loss.
For years Hays has had two hose
carts, one on the north and one on the
south side 1t has for many years
been the practice of the neighbors of
the fre-house on the south side, when
zone whistle sounds an alarm, to get
out the hose-cart, undo the rope ready
for the first team or auto to pull it to
the fire. No one knows when the
alarm sounds whether it is a stove, or
a store or even the mill afire. Pre-
pare for the worst. The last alarm
came from the west side of town. It
may have been the State Normal
school buildings or a prairie fire near
a building. The hose truck was run
out for the second ward fire and for
the west side fire, yet the Street Com

came down and raised - with the
men who had voluntarily helped get
the fire hose ready for the fire and de-
clared he wouldn't put the truck back
but the residents could. Made an ex-
hibition of himself.

might be fire like the above and the

How to Find the Capacity of a Corn
Crib in Bushels
John Fisher
Auctioneer.


Do you know how much corn is
left in your crib, or how many bushels
a given space will contain? If you
know the rules for estimating quaint
tiles of stored grain, the problem is
simple.
In estimating the number of
bushels of corn in a crib, find the
number of cubic feet in the pile Of
ear corn and divide this product by
PA. The result thus obtained repre-
sents the number of bushels of she'll
ed corn in the pile of ears and is
fair approximation for well-settled
corn of good quality. However, if
the corn is of poor quality a higher
factor should be used, say 2 3s Or 2 II.
A standard bushel contains
2,15O.42 cubic innches, or nearly Il
cubic feet. This is a bushel, by
measure, of shelled corn or of other
grain. A bushel of corn on the ear
varies widely in volume and may
occupy more or considerably less
than twice the space occupied by a
bushel of shelled corn. On the aver
age, 2 II cubic feet of good, sound
ear corn will make bushel of shelled
corn.
If the crib is wider at the top than
at the bottom, find the average width
by adding together the width at the
bottom and at the top of the corn and
dividing by 2. Then multiply this
average width by the height and
length to find the cubic contents, and
divide by 2 4 to find the number of
bushels of corn in the crib.
The cubic contents of a round crib
are found by multiplying together
the area of the base and the height of
the crib. The area of the base is
found by the formula used for find
ing the area of a circle; that is, by
| multiplying the diameter by itself,
| and their product by 0-7854. Then
multiply by the height. Divide by 2 4
as before, and you have the number
| of bushels of shelled corn.
In buying or selling ear corn by
weight, which is the general practice,
it is customary to allow 70 pounds of
air-dried ear corn to the bushel. This
quantity of ear corn will give about
Sc pounds of shelled corn Cor an even
busheI, or 2,15O.42 cubic inches) and
IA pounds of cobs. There is some
variation from this figure due to diff
ference in percentage of grain to cob
and to the weight of a measured
bushel of shelled corn.
To estimate the number of bushels
in bin of shelled corn, multiply to-
gether the length, breadth, and height
in feet of the pile of corn, and divide
by IA. If the dimensions are in
inches, multiply together the length,
breadth, and height in inches and
divide by 2,15O. This same rule can
be used for measuring or estimating
the number of bushels of other grain,
as wheat, rye, oats, etc. The con-
tents of a round or cylindrical bin is
found by multiplying the area of the
base by the height, as directed fol-
finding the contents of round crib
The cubic feet of shelled corn are
then converted into bushels by divid-
ing by 1 4.
