It wil} ' be noted that the building is extreme- ly unlike the old-fashioned corn crib. It is a substantially-built building, 28 by 40 feet in dimensions. Its exte- rlor has graceful lines and is an at- tractive addition to the farm building group. The gambrel roof, with gabled tower for the elevator head, makes it & beauty. The building is of frame construction and is tight, with the ex- ception of the sides and ends of the cribs, the location of which is shown by the open walls, Plenty of air.is the one thing that mew corn needs 8o that it will not mold or become ‘mildewed. At the same time the -roof projection and method of putting on the flat eiding prevents the rain fromgetting at the corn. The floor plan shows the layout of the interior of the building. Through the center of ‘the structure is a con- crete driveway, with sliding doors at each ‘end, which permit’ the ‘team ‘and ‘wagon to drive into the building, where the corn is unloaded, and to leave by the other end. : The elevator is located at one side of the center of the building.

The cost of a high corn crib built from this design can readily be deter- mined by consulting the local con- tractor and material dealer. Costs of . both materials and labor vary in dif- "‘the | ferent localities, and no set price can to Williem At ects. | be given for this building, but the mas terial dealer and contractor can give the prospective builder an accurite es- timate.. They also can glve the farm- size building he will need, and pegard- ing- the best materials to use. .However, the value of good farm buildings, whether they be barns, hog houses, corn cribs, granaries, or the tarm home itself, cannot be too strongly accented. Life is too short for the farmer to have anything but the best home for himself and his family he can afford ; crops and live stock are too | valuable to be housed in anything but buildings' that will keep them.in the best condition possible. Good build- ings: ‘are’profit prodycers,‘and ‘during thewiselves in the sgvings they make, The time never was more opportune for farmers to secure the high-class buildings they need. Livestock and grains, in fact, every product of the farm, are bringing record prices. The cost of production also has risen. But by bhaving buildings that will enable the farmer to perform the labor in the quickest and least expensive way, and that will keep crops and animals in the best of condition, the business of farm- ing will be the more profitable. Now that the end of the season when the farmer is a most busy man is ap- proaching, this is a good time to plan the necessary improvements. But the corn crib is going to be used soon now. By building such a crib as is shown here, the corn crop will show a bigger profit than ever before. Thought Doctor Brought Baby. A new family had moved into the neighborhood. The days were ideal for the six-weeks-old baby to spend its sleeping time on the cool front porch, and the mother took its bas- ket out there, took necessary precau- tionis and went back into the house, It was not long before the little girls in the neighborhood spied the little bun- dle of humanity in. its basket. But none of them had seen the mother put it out there. So one of them went home and said to her mother: “Mother, mother, I think the doctor has brought a new baby to that house over “there and left it on the front porch, and I don’t think they know it has come.” . ,Must Be Edible.

On winter wheat. 2, On grass pasture with yearling cattle, 8. With cows on clover pasture. 4. On clover meadow after hay cut. 5. On grain stubble, 6. In cornfields after silage cut or corn harvested. B 7. On winter wheat, At other times on rape, soy beans, or other grazing crops on 10-acre field. Un- used forage harvested for winter feed. Such a plan as this allows sufficient- ly frequent change of pasture without any part of the flock going upon land that has previously carried sheep in the same year. The forage crop land 1s a safety measure for reliance in case of shortage of other feeds and could regularly be used for carrying the reserved ewe lambs from weaning time until winter.

BUSINESS, be it big orlittle, is production and distribution of com- modities and service. The size of a business is measured by the service it renders the public, and regardless of the capital invest- ed, it never can become Big Busi- ness unless its output of useful service is great. The Standard Oil Company (Indi- anfi) is classified with big business, and it deserves to be, for from the day of its organization the goal to- ward which every effort has been directed has been to render a use- ful service to the public at large. Originally the purpose of the Company was to manufacture and sell an illuminating oii of superior quality, but as the years have passed the Company has been able to take a wide range of other use- ful products from crude petroleum, and has made them available to mankind. Today the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is big because its job is big, and as the job expands so must this organization if it is 1o keep pace with the insistent and ever-increasing demands of a dis- criminating public, and thereby discharge completely its obligation as a public servant. 0il Company (Indiona) ‘910 S.
