Probably the clutch is being held dis
engaged by the sticking of the pedal
shaft In Its bearing or other members
Of the operation mechanism are stick
ing due to lack Of fabrication, thus not
allowing the clutch to become fully EN-
gagged when the pressure Is removed
from the clutch pedal. II the mocha
nism Is found to be In good shape the
next cause would be insufficient pres
sure exerted on the plates. This might
be caused by weak clutch springs Oh
springs that have taken a permanent
set after a few thousand miles Of serv.
ice.
Automobile manufacturers can test
springs for their tension, and, while
great care Is exercised In the strength
Of the steel wire which goes into them
and the heat treatment Of the same,
nevertheless occasionally springs will
pass by inspector, no matter how rigid,
that have not been carefully heat
treated, and after some little service
they win take a permanent set and
fail to exert sufficient pressure on tho
plate to transmit the power.
The third and most likely cause Is
dirty and gummed plates due to neg
lecting to change the lubricating oil in
the motor.

The English have lost another bat
tleship in the Dardanelles. The
Triumph, 1856 feet long with 700 men
was sunk by a submarine Wednes-
day. Most of the crew were saved.
With the sinking of the Triumph 5
allied battleships have been lost in
the Dardanelles by Turkish gunfire,
mines or torpedoes. Of these losses
the British have sustained four-the
Triumph, Ocean, Irresistible and
Goliath. One French ship has been
sunk-the Bouvet. In addition, sew
eral other allied battleships have at
various times been struck by Turk
ish shells and forced to retire from
the fighting in the waterway.

outside stake. Find the center Of the
middle hole as before. When these
holes are brought opposite each other,
one end of the back slab will lie 16
inches nearer the center of the road
way than the front one. The holes
should be two inches in diameter. Care
must be taken to hold the auger plumb
in boring these holes in order that
the stakes shall fit properly.
The two slabs should be held 80
inches apart by the stakes. The
stakes should taper gradually toward
the ends. There should be no shout
der at the point where the stakes en-
ter the slab The stakes should be
fastened in place by wedges only.
When the stakes have been placed in
position and tightly wedged brace
two inches thick and four inches wide
should be placed diagonally to them
at the ditch end. The brace should be
dropped on the front slab, SO that its
lower edge shall lie within an inch OF
the ground, while the other end
should rest in the angle, between the
slab and the end stake. A strip OF
iron about three and onehalf feet long,
three or four inches wide, and oneshalf
of an inch thick may be used for the
blade.
An ordinary trace chain is strong
enough TO draw the implement, pro-
vided the clevis is not fastened
through a link. The chain should be
wrapped around the rear stake, then
passed over the front slab. Raising the
chain at this end Of the slab allows
the earth to drift past the face Of the
drag. The other end OF the chain
should be passed through the hole ir
the end of the slab.

given area of land when silage Is the
basis of the ration.
z. There is less waste in feeding
silage than in feeding fodder. Good
silage properly fed is all consumed.
s. Silage is very palatable.
9. Silage, like other succulent feeds,
has a beneficial effect upon the diges-
tive organs.
10. Silage is the cheapest and best
form in which a succulent feed can be
provided for winter use.
IL. Silage can be used for supple
menting pastures more economically
than can soiling crops. because it re-
quires less labor, and silage is more
palatable.
IL. Converting the corn crop into
silage clears the land and leaves II
ready for another crop.
Almost anything in the way of for
age crops may be put into the silo
and win keep until 1t is needed.

ROADS IN BETTER CONDITION
splIt-Log Drag Of Great Service In
Keeping Thoroughfares In shape
How II 10 Built.

The use Of the split-log drag is I'M
portant in putting the roads in shape.
There are over 100000 miles of earth
roads in the country, and the sput-log
drag is Of great service in keeping
them in economical repair. The drag
is used in many states and in foreign
countries. 1t is used with two, three,
or four horses, and is easily con.
structed.
II is a mistake TO construct a heavy
drag. A dry red cedar log is the best
material for a drag. Red elm and wal
nut when thoroughly dried are excel
lent, and box elder. soft maple, or even
willow are preferable to oak, hickory
or ash.
The log should be seven or eight
feet long, and from ten to twelve
inches in diameter, and carefully split
down the middle. The heaviest and
best slabs should be selected for the
front At a point on the front slab
four inches from the end that is to be
at the middle of the road locate the
center Of the hole to receive a cross
stake, and 20 inches from the other
end of the front slab locate the center
for another cross stake. The hole
for the middle stake will lie on a line
connecting and halfway between the
other two.
The back slab should then be placed
in a position behind the other. From
the end at the middle of the road
measure 20 inches for the center Of
the cross stake, and six inches from
the other end locate the center Of the

Descendants Of Youthful Unions

A Chicago man recently offered one
hundred dollars for the proofs that
any great men have been produced by
a family practicing early marriages
throughout a century. IN other words.
he claims that three generations to a

should be to result In vigorous de-
scendants as a protest against recent
medical opinions in favor OF youthful
marriages which, If constantly car
ried out from parents to children,
would average four generations to q

TWELVE GOOD SIL0 REASONS
One Great Obstacle, the Cost, May Be
Partly Overcome by Construct.
lnq Pit Affair.

Shall ! build a silo?
This question is being asked by the
more enterprising farmers and ranch
men all over the West.
The cost of the silo Is the greatest
obstacle, but IL this stands seriously
IN the way pit may be dug and fin
ished at q cost not exceeding fifty to
one hundred dollars for material. Pit
silos are very satisfactory and are
certainly to be desired rather than
to have no silo at all.
Twelve good reasons why the farm
er should provide himself with a silo
are given by T. B. Woodward of the
dairy division, United States depart
ment of agriculture, in Farmers Bull
letin No. $50. Every one of them
touches some spot Of vital Importance
to the feeder.
/. More feed can be stored in
given space in the form of silage than
in the form Of fodder or hay.
2. There is a smaller loss Of food
material when a crop Is made into
silage than when cured as fodder or
hay.
8. Corn silage is a more efficient
feed than corn fodder.
4 An acre of corn can be placed
IN the silo at less cost than the same
area can be husked and shredded.
5. Crop can be put in the silo dur
ing weather that could not be utilized
for making hay or curing fodder.
6. More stock can be kept on
