chance to win CHE pennant this season.

GOODYEAR TIRES At

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
announce mo war prices on Goodyear
Tires" Mr.. F. A. Sieberling, presi dent

unique position.
I'VE advanced Goodyear prices. as

panic came. Almost In q day crude
rubber rose in New York from So cents
per pound to much over dollar.
"The New York supply was too
small to consider. We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick OF
the rubber there. BY acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained 1900
600 pounds of the finest rubber.
THAT big supply Of rubber is now
nearly all ON the way to the Goodyear
factory In Akron. 1t constitutes the
best Of the London supply.
I'VE are using the same grade OF
rubber and the same amount Of it as
we always have used in these tires.
1--WE are running our factory with
three shifts of men, twenty-four hours
a day. So long as we remain In this
fortunate position on rubber, we shall
supply tire users at before-war prices
to the limit of our capacity"

MANY ADVANTAGES OF SILOS
Nearer Svsnner Conditions Are Main
tained Throughout Year Greater
WIZ Be- Mllkman's Gain.

With the advance Of dairying natur-
ally comes the silo. Dairymen are
we'll agreed that the dairy COW and
the silo are inseparable. In summer
nature provides the proper feed for
our domestic animal. and the nearer
that summer conditions can be main
tained throughout the year the great
er will be the milkman's success. For
this reason where cattle or sheep are
wintered silage Is almost indispensa-
BILE. 1t is green feed, preserved in
nearly its natural condition for its
winter feeding. In a way silage may
be called a canned feed. 1t Is I'M
doubtedly as superior to dry feed for
cattle as canned fruit Is to dried fruit
as food for man.
While fairly old in many states, the
silo Is comparatively new in the GEN.
trail states. Naturally few may be
built that are not properly construct
ed; hence good results cannot be OBJ
tanned. OF all farm buildings the silo
is the one that needs the most careful
construction. as the green corn will
not keep In a poorly constructed silo.
Before building the silo it is well to
consider the different forms and
styles of each. as well as the cost.
Whatever type Of silo the farmer
chooses to build, six things must
strictly be observed:
The silo must be air tight. for
where the air has access the silage
will mold or decay, being In this re-
spect like canned fruit.
The inside OF the silo should be
smooth. 80 that the silage will settle
evenly. Rough projection to the In
ner wall will prevent this even set
thing. thus causing dead air spaces,
which will cause the surrounding ST.
lage to spoil.
The walls of the silo should be
strong. because the green feed Is very
heavy and packs down solidly. This
creates a pressure that will burst the
wallis Of a poorly constructed silo.
The silo should rest upon a solid
foundation; otherwise the pressure
will cause the silo to settle out Of
shape.
