BEST SUCCULENcE FOR EWES
vegetabIes-silage May Be Used
With Good Results.

For breeding ewes, roots and vege-
tables are the best kind of succulent
foods, although corn ensilage may
be used with fairly good results.
In feeding corn ensilage to breeding
ewes better results Will come from
feeding it once a day and allowing
each eve from two to four pounds
at feed.
Ensilage is not a good food for
brood mares and great care should be
exercised in feeding it If any is fed to
them.

Effect Of Gas Tank Explosion.

It is well known that Illuminating
gas is explosive. though it is difficult
to say just how great would be the
explosive effect. 1t is impossible to
calculate and only experience and OBJ
servation would afford any indication.
There are not at hand any data which
will determine the effect of an explo-
sion of gas tank either or buildings
close by or at distance.

Buying Inner Tubes

We are now carrying to motorists a campaign showing how care is quite as necessary in buying tubes as in buy ing tires,'' says A. F. Osterloh, secretary, The Good year Tire and Rubber company, Akron, o.
 We realize that a motorist who has bought and used profitably one Goodyear product, will turn naturally to Goodyear for other products of the company's man. ufacture. Our aim is to get motorists to ask for tubes by name, just as they ask for tires by name. It is matter of pride with us that the quality of one complements the other. Both are as per- feet as good materials and skilled work manship can make them.
 "Wo are building our tubes by the lam mated process; that is, they are built up layer upon layer-of pure gum. The rub Der is first rolled out into thin sheets so that any flaws can be readily seen. Then these sheets are wrapped together and vulcanized into one solid rubber tube. Tubes built of one piece of rubber often contain flaws which are not detected. Each sheet of rubber that goes into a Goodyear tube is inspected most care fully Thus the tubes are not strong in one place and weak in another. but strong all through
 At the weakest point of many tubes the valve patch-our tubes show unusual strength We make the valve batch an integral part of the tube. This makes if leak proof"

TIRE ECONOMY

Would you like to know how you could add 1000 to 2OOO miles to the life of your tire?" said an official of the Fisk Rubber company. This can be done easily by devoting little time in ex- amining the rubber tread for small cuts. By the action of the tire, water and sand are sucked and pushed into the small cut, and the tread becomes loose and separated from the fabric.
 Jack up the wheel so you can work on the tire when it is inflated; wash it with soap and water revolve the wheel slowly towards you, examining the tread for cuts. Upon seeing what appears tC be a cut, probe it with a knife blade and remove the small particles of glass stones, or whatever may still be em- bedded in the rubber.
 "The next step is to clean the cut thor oughly with gasoline. When you are sure all the dirt is out, work rubber cement into the cut with a small stick Work around the tire. treating each cut in like manner. AS second coat of cement is needed. again fill the cut with cement Open a can of tread cut filler and take out a piece a little larger than you think will fill the hole. Knead this between the thumb and forefinger, being sure your ringers are clean. when thls filler becomes plastic, place it over the cut and work it in, so that it completely fills the hole. Cut off any gum that may project from the hole.
 Fill all cuts in like manner and al- low to stand over night. In the morn ing you will find that the gum has made a perfect union. and the cuts are proper ly sealed. A piece of bicycle tape wound around the tire is used by some to hold the gum in the cut until 1t has had suf. f1cient time to set"

PACKARD TRUCKS DO
 SERVICE IN MEXICO

eff Uncle Sam had to depend on horses and mules for his army trans port service, the Mexican expedition in pursuit of Villa would be an utter im- possibility" This is the statement of c. B. Morton, special field representa- tive of the Packard Motor Car com pany, on his return from q four weeks observation trip along the southern border and across the line in Mexico.
 'It's a simple matter of arithmetic to prove the horse and mule useless in keeping open long line of communi- cation in the southern republic" says Morton. Let us consider the line our soldiers are now maintaining between Columbus N. M, and the present front. When I left, few days ago, this was a distance of 360 miles into Old Mex ico, 8 round trip of 72O miles neces- sary for every load of supplies car ried in. The Packard trucks, capable of 10 miles an hour even in that track less desert, make the round trip in 72 hours of actual travel
 Army regulations call for IF miles per day as the maximum travel for mules. This would mean more than AZ days for the trip. At this rate, a siX-mule team cannot haul sufficient load to keep it alive for the journey, not to speak of carrying any supplies for the fighting men. Each mule is fed three quarts of oats three times each day, which means for six mules nearly two bushels per day. In the desert going, 69 bushels of oats would make a capacity load. But in the 42 days on the road the mules would con- sume nearly Fl bushels"

ELIMINATION SERIES
 ID DECIDE AMATEUR TITLE ID BE PLAYED
Executive Committee Drafts Rules to Hold Big Series Next Fall to Determine
 National HOnOrs

Chicago, April 2e.The executive com mittee of the National Baseball federa- ton met here today to draft rules for conducting an elimination series next fall to determine the amateur and semi-pro- fessional baseball championship of the United States.
 A survey of the amateur baseball con ditions throughout the country has been made by the federation and report or it's findings is to be made by the secre- tary of the federation.
 The officials decided no definite elmi- nations, semi-final or final schedule or games for the worlds title could be ar ranged until after the next meeting of the executive committee, which will be July 6, at Cleveland. Reasons assigned were that in some of the cities on the circuit the leagues had not been properly organ ized. The officials however, agreed that the worlds championship would be de- cided after the various cities had played in the sectional championship games first, the plan being to divide the circuit into sections along geographical lines.
