(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) O hard and fast rules can be laid down for the erection of a convenient and efficient granary. Each problem re- quires a knowledge of local eondi- tions and requirements, Granaries, in the majority of cases, are built in enclosures on the barn floor, and constructed with "oo little regard for strength, durability and convenience. These structures should be located immediately over the feed room, each bin having a chute with a control- ling slide, or a canvas distributor to convey the grain to the hopper of the grinder; or if the grain is In- tended for market, to a sack placed on the scales below the chute ready to receive it. To facilitate emptying thé grain, the floor of the bins should be sloping. The important consideration in the construction of granaries and bins for loose grain is to be sure that the Structure is designed with sufficient strength fo prevent bulging of the sides and springing of the floor, for | Brain, owing to its enormous out- ward thrust, corresponding some- what to that of water, has a ten- dency to blrst the sides unless well braced or supported. Timber con- struction requires frequent repdirs to prevent decay and general deprecia- tion from use. It is always liable to climate conditions. The boards will crack and shrink in the summer when the bins may be empty, and when the new grain is dumped into the bins an enormous quantity promptly dis- appears into the cracks and crevices and through mice holes, entailing considerable loss to the farmer, to the consumer and to the nation. Thousands of bushels of-grain are, in this way, annually lost io the pro- 'ducers through sheer indifference to the condition of the granary. Yet this preventable waste may be easily remedied and made secure by lining the bins with sheet metal. : The watchword is "Conservation." Every grain is needed to feed the Empire and its Allies. It is, there. fore, highly desirable at this time to bend every effort to eliminate al} possible leakages and conserve our grain for the need of the Allied na- tions. While there is an annual de- preciation on a timber structure varying from 4 to 89, concrete con- struction grows better as it grows old; hence concrete properly. re- inforédq, is the ideal material ' for granaries, because it is both damp- proof and rat-proof, two very essen- tial factors in the construction of granaries. Concrete properly made to suit existing conditions, is absolutely im- pervious to moisture, and can pe kept as dry as any structure of wood ever built. The experience of many farmers is that grain, mature enough to be placed in storage, will not spoil on contact with concrete, nor will corn mold, provided there is good ventilation and the roof is tight. To H get rid of rats and mica destroy their | Go To Robinson and |! nesting place and to this end con- crete is pre-eminently thé best ma- terial and is recommended for all farm structures. Under average present day con- ] ditions a reinforced concretn granary may represent an additional outlay of about 25% over that required to construct of timber, but the high effi- ciency distinctive of concrete quick- ly offsets this increased initial cost. Concrete construction has many in short, important advantages. The contents are safe from the dep tions of rodents, is damp-proof, quires neither paint nor repairs, is fireproof, the grain is perfectly pre- served under all conditions of clima- tic and temperature, and the result- ing structure is practically everlast- ing. -- Prof. John Evans, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. ------ Concrete Structures Best -- How (o | An Anecdote of the Famous Lota 2 Muir, In my intimate companionship| with Muir in Alaska, I saw many. in ! stances of his warm human sym-| pathy. One occurred when in 1879 we were visiting the tribe of Chil | cats. These Chilcats, recognized as the most war-like and arrogant of the Thlinget tribes, were neverthe- less so interested in the Gospel més. sage I had to bring them, that they crowded the house where we lodged, filling it full, and prying off planks from its side so that those without could hear, and some even scrambled upon the roof to listen through the smokehole. The first night we spent in the village, after an all-day's palaver, we were about to retire to our blankets, when a woman brought a baby to us which was almost a skeleton from lack of nourishment, and whose fee- ble cry was most pitiful to hear. The woman explained that the baby's mother had died, and that they had no food for the child--none of the other women being in condition to nurse t. At once Muir and 1 set about preparing condensed milk for the baby. We diluted it with warm water until we thought it of the pro- per consistency, and fed it to the Starving baby. The child was almost too weak to take this nourishment, and it required the utmost patience and care to feed it. Muir worked with that little papoose almost all night, rocking it in his arms and soothing its cries, and when at last it rested in a healthful, refreshing sieép, he carefully showed the wo- man how to prepare its food. The natives voluntarily told me when we were about to leave that if the baby lived it belonged to me, and they would bring it down to me. I thought little of their promise, knowing how easily people forget such things; but five years after this occurrence I was surprised to have some Chilcat na- tives bring a sturdy and healthy lit- tle boy, and formally give him to me, saying that this was the baby whose life we had saved, and he theréfora belonged to us. The child was taken into our mission at Wrangel, and 1 baptized him with the nafne of "John," after my friend. -- S. Hall Young, in World's Outlook. An Energetic Canadian. Amorig various Canadian women who have received recognition for splendid war services Madame Chase Casgrain, of Ottawa, has been award- ed a gold medal from Marquis de Vogue, vice-president of the Society of Agriculture in France. The medal, which is an unusually handsome one, bears the following inscription: "'Ser- vices emiment rendus aux agriful- telrs Francals victimes de a Guerre, 1918.2 Madame Casgrain was the first woman in Canada appealed to to work for the relief of devastated re- gions in France. Through the Made- line de Vescheres Chapter of the LO.D.E. in Ottawa, of which she id regent, Madame Casgrain has been enabled to send over $15,000 for this work. 1 She recently returned from a trip to the coast, covering some 9,000 miles, lecturing at various centres where she told them of the deplor- able conditions in France, "If the east responds like the west we have prospects of a wonderful fund," said Madame Casgrain. "We are looking forward to at least one million francs." Madame Casgrain has gone to France, where she will conduct a canteen under the French Military Red Cross, where President Marquis de Noailles has established a hut to feed the people from the devastated regions. Friction Between Services. Friction in Canada between the chaplain service and the YM.C.A is indicated in the relations between these two services in France. The chaplains are indignant at the claim of the YM.C.A. to have organized the Vimy Ridge University. This ek- cellent educational course originated with Revs. Clarence McKinnon, of Halifax, and Dr. Oliver, Saskatche- wan University. Both the chaplains and the Y.M.C.A. are doing good work in France, and both services are required. It is true the Y.M.C.A. gains considerable funds by sales at a large profit, but they also aid the men with free entertainments, eto. The work of the chaplains of the army is unequalled for sacrifice and | for sympathetic aid for the men. The chaplains' work at Passchendaele called forth generous praise from the P. A. 8.

The man who declares there is no such thing as luck had best not be too emphatic in proclaiming his. be- lief when Captain Harold Tantram, late Deputy Chief of the Fijian Con- stabulary, is within ear range. The captain, who has been travelling through Canada, holds a directly contra opinion, and has apropos ex- perience to cite Mi proof of the sound- ness of his position. His story is that of the capture of Count von Luckner and seven of his compatriots, part of the erew of the infamous German raider Seéadl®r, which some months ago terrorized the southern seas. These, armed to the teeth, amply provisioned and munitioned, and mounting a first- class modern machine-gun on a stre- tegic point on one of the smaller islands of the Fijian group, were not long ago made captive by the colony police, aided and abetted by undis- guised and indisputable luck. "Beware of the wooden horse," the Trojans once were told. A de- vice even simpler, nothing more than a small drove of cattle accident- ally lined up on the deck of a police boat, resulted in the taking of the eight Germans without bloodshed and without sof much as a pretence of resistance on their part. The others of the Seedaler"s com- plement of officers and men have dis- appeared as completely as if the earth had opened to swallow them. Although many vessels have unprofit- ably hunted them through the hun- dred archipelagoes of the Southern Pacific, they may evem yet survive in some coral-ringed islet' up to date unexplored. The first news of the presence of Count von Luckner and his compan- ions among the islands received by the Fijians police reached them by word of mouth of a half-caste who canie into Suva with the story of a strange party of men who wore some sort of uniform, and whose move- ments had quite mystified the native inhabitants of one of the islands quite off the track of even coasting craft. ' An investigating police expedition eventually was ordered. Through some inexplicable folly the forco went out unarmed, probably antjci- pating only a pleasant excursion-- as they had investigated native re- ports many a time before, oply to catalogue them later as fairy tales. The bright idea struck someone shortly before the sailing hour that advantage might be taken of the opportunity to deliver a load of cat- tle to one of the neighbgr islands, and so the animals were got on board and lined up on the deck.
