indeed, will knock man down unless
he holds the rife butt close to his

fore, what gigantic "kick" big field

It has always been one Of the prob

how to control the recoil. II it were
not controlled the gun would jump
back anything up to fifty yards, not
only probably smashing itself up,
but killing the gunners as well.
Springs and air chambers, of
course, have been used, but it was
found that they quickly got out of
order.
The problem was solved by filling
the special recoil chambers with a
compound of which glycerin is the
chief ingredient.

SCORE ONE UP FOR JONES
Sarcastic Comment Will Be Appre'
ciated by Those Who Favor Old
Time Methods of Travel.

Down in the crimson clover zone
there were two farmers named Jones
and Smith, respectively. Jones was
old-fashioned and stuck to old-fash-
toned ways, but Smith. who was more
modern, bought a fine new automo-
bile. One day he was proudly exhib-
iting it to some friends when Jones
came along.
"Um," remarked Jones, as he
thoughtfully sized up the handsome
machine. What's that thing there
on the side?"
That's a spare rim and tire" an
swered the proud Smith. I'VE al

of the wheels goes wrong

dainful response of jones. i've druv

DAIRY
FACTS
RULES FOR FILLING A sIL0
Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station
Offers Some Excellent Sugoes-
tions on the Work.

To farmers who are filling silos this
year for the first time, the Iowa agri-
cultural experiment station offers
these suggestions:
The corn should be cut when the
kernels are denied, or when about
fourth of the husks and lower leaves
are turning brown. 1t should be as
near maturity as possible and yet con-
tain enough moisture to insure fer
mentation.
Either half-inch of three-Quarter.
inch cut is best because that length
insures less waste and larger pack
of corn in the silo.
Slow filling makes it possible to
pack the corn more thoroughly and
get in larger tonnage. With rapid
filing the cost is less, but to fill to
capacity the silage should be allowed
to settle and then refill.
Corn should be uniformly packed in
the silo and with good distribution OF
stalks and ears. II the sides are kept
about two feet higher than the cen.
ter, the silage wedges against the
sides, keeps in the heat Of fermenta.
ton and kills molds.
Water needs to be added when fill
ing if the corn in the silo is not moist
Water must always be added when the
corn is very ripe, when the corn is
severely frozen before it is properly
matured, or when filing late in the
fall with shocked corn.
Keep the sides of the. silo alright
by filing cracks with soft clay, if the
silo is wooden, or with cement if of
masonry.
