lost every year because of these enc
mics of corn.
Corn needs safe storage; that is, a
store house that is impregnable to
rats and weather. At the same time
it must be exposed to the air, so that
it will cure properly. To accomplish
these results experienced farm build
ing architects have designed what is
generally known as thigh corn crib"
but which in reality is a storage house
for both corn and small grains, such
as wheat, oats, barley, etc.
A good example Of a high corn crib
is shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton. This is a frame building set
on concrete foundation and a con-
crete floor. BY reference to the floor
plan, which accompanies the exterior
view, it will be seen that driveway,
10 feet wide, runs through the center
of the building. On either side Is
corn crib that extends to the roof
These cribs are eight feet wide, and
around 5000 bushels of ear corn. The
walls Of the cribs are of plain, heavy
boards nailed onto a heavy frame,
slightly parted so that the air can
circulate through the corn. The heavy
construction is necessary because of
the bursting pressure of the grain
when the cribs are filled. The floor
of the cribs is of concrete, but under
meath has a channel or gutter, into
which the corn may be allowed to drop
so that 1t may be dragged" out.
The inside walls of the cribs above
the first floor ceiling, are tight, as is
the floor. which allows for two bins
for the small grains. These bins have

WAR SECRET MADE PUBLIC
How the Alfred Gable Was Success

Details of ruse adopted by cable
layers with the object of tricking the
enemy intelligence department during
the war were given In a paper read re-
Gently at a meeting of the London
Telegraph and Telephone society at
River Plate house by A. Avery, whe
described how the "Ar Red" cable
route came into being, the London
Daily Telegraph states.
A cable was laid, he said, between
Peterhead, on the Aberdeenshire coast
and Alexandrovsk, a small town On
the shore of the inlet Of the White
sea, on the Kola peninsula. The ut
most secrecy had to be observed and
the cable ship Colonia, to throw dust
in the eyes of the enemy, sailed out
for the cruise in quite a different d.
rection.
In spite, however, Of all the precau-
tons taken the fact that the cable
had been laid was mentioned In the
Cologne Gazette on the morning after
its completion. This cable gave d.
rect communication between the Gen.
trail Telegraph Office. London, and
Petrograd, and 1t formed a most valu-
able link for the allies.
Many kilograms from countries south
of Russia, such as Greece, ETC., pass
over the cable in making their circuit

Russia. The staff in Russia was sup

Toronto, Ont--Canadian police and

attorney generals department last
Monday night to seize all shipments of
liquor that leave the Canadian shore
by any other mode of conveyance than

While the officials of the province re-
cognize that they can not interfere
with bona fide shipments as result
of the courts decision. they take the
position that sl,rreptition delivery not
made by common carriers do not
come within that category. They
point out that American authorities
