is made from series of canvas strips
impregnated with rubber in such a way
that 1t prevents the tread from sepa-
rating from the air-carcass. splitting,
peeling off, or coming apart. 1t also
prevents rupturing of air-carcass,
which Is the ruination of all tires. and
1t also prevents punctures and blow
outs. The tread is so tough 1t will not
split. peel off, or crack like other makes
of tires. Each layer Is q binder to the
tread, which holds the rubber between
the phys in its place. 1t takes more
than 1900 miles of road service to wear
off one layer - each layer is non-skid.
No chains necessary. Count the many
thousand miles you can run. 1t saves

Know, many Old to5y farmers still,

water they require from tie dews.
This is certainly a mistaken idea, and
one that is ab5olut=.y cruel, for sheep
need water as mt 4 as any of the
other farm animal. though they do
not drink as much as some others.

When an animal is forced to live on,
less than the norE-i water supply. it
Is sure to be very --lcomfortable. To
dc we'll and put on flesh, they should
have running stream of water where
they can reach it.
Many sheep raise-s have a tendency
to let the sheep take care of them
