S|LO TURNS WHAT
MIG HI Be WASTE
into GOOD FEED

The farmer who faces the prospect
of being caught this season with
more immature or frosted corn than
he can use Immediately, will find the
silo valuable adjunct to his farm
equipment, say fran mechanics men
of the Michigan Agricultural college.
Storing in a silo, they add, will make
possible the using for feed of rough
age and fodder which might other
wise go to waste.
"To the man who does not pos
sess a silo," farm mechanics bull
letin states, "the question of the size
to build is an important With
the coming into common use of the
masonry silo, the height has been
gradually increased. This can be
safely done. because the heavier
types of silos are less liable to blow
over, and the increased height also is
IA great advantage from the stand
point of capacity of a silo only 20
feet in depth. The increased capac-
ity is due to the better packing ser
cured with increased height.
"In calculating what height to
build it is customary to allow 35
pounds day for each 1000-pound
dairy cow for a period of from six to
eight months. For a period of seven
months this requires practically three
and one-half tons for each animal in
one year. If ten animals are to be
fed, silo of at least forty tons cap
acity will be required. To prevent
spoilage of silage at least two
inches must be fed off each day in
warm weather. Increasing the
height of the silo, therefore, rather
than its diameter is an advantage in
that it increases the depth which may
be fed daily.
"As a rule silo may be proftably
used with ten sows. 1t is not advis-
able to build with diameter of less
than ten feet. A good rule for
height at least three times the dia-
meter. Thus it will be seen that
10x30 feet, 12x35 feet, or 14x40 feet
will be about the right proportions to
build. Remembering that each full
grown animal requires about three
and one-half tons of silage per year
and that the silo should be. at least
thirty feet high, the size of the silo
you will need can be easily determin-
ed from the following approximate
table:
Diameter 10 feet-height 40 feet,
capacity ~ IOnSt nSiSnt % lSSe, zap

ity as tons; height % feet, capacity

EGGS MUST Weigh
24OZ PER DOZEN

Grading of eggs would enlarge the
returns received by Michigan poul-
trymen and farmers from the sale of
their poultry products, a bulletin
from the department of animal hus-
bandry of the Michigan Agricultural
college AYERS.
The man who sells poultry pro-
ducts should grade them according to
the requirements of the market.
These grades are several. First, the
eggs must be up to weight. East of
the Mississippi a dozen eggs must
weigh "a ounces. West Of the Mis-
sissippi the weight need not be over
% ounces. Eggs which weigh 26
ounces are ideal. If a dozen exceeds
this weight, however, it is, difficult to
ship them without breakage.
Color is the next item. Some
markets demand a certain color. New
York, for instance, demands the white
egg, and Boston prefers the brown
but it is unnecessary to discuss the
merits or dement's of either, since
both have the same nutritive value.
The eggs must also be fresh. To
be classed as firsts, they must be
newly laid, must be clean and must
have a strong, smooth shell. The air
cell must be small and the egg must
be free from cracks.
Checks are fresh eggs which pos
sess all of the qualities above stated
but are cracked. They must not
leak, however. "Leakers" are like
the above except that they have lost
part of their contents.
A man with a small mind seldom
has occasion to change it.

C. A. Slough Has Received
Demonstrator of Six Built
by Louis Chevrolet

The American Six is new to Harris
burg, but we'll known throughout the
country because of having been de-
signed and built by Louis Chevrolet.
known the world over as designer,
builder and driver of famous cars.
This car is being introduced by c. A.
Slough. of the Harrisburg American
Sales Company. who is well known
to most of Harrisburg's people of
prominence, having been a resident
of Harrisburg for fifteen years and
identified with business interests
Factory Representative Hooker is in
the city over Saturday and Sunday.
In speaking of the American Six.
which sells at 1875, Mr.. Hooker said:
I'VE believe the American six has
an exceptionally we'll balanced chas-
sis, as 1t is not overweighted on the
rear nor underweighted on the front.
Almost to a pound, each wheel car
ries an equal share of the load. The
American Six can go around corners
at any sensible speed without any
skidding or overtoppling tendency
because of setting the motor trifle
further back on the frame. We claim
an average of sixteen to eighteen
miles per gallon of gasoline, which is
very low for a big, roomy, comfort
able siN-cylinder car. The balance
of weight referred to makes it excep-
tionally easy on tires, and as the car
is built to give longtime service, it
is not q one-season car"

Production of Duplex
Trucks to Be Trebled

with our new factory buildings
completed in November and machin-
cry installed by the first of the year,
our production of heavy haulage
trucks will be Increased to about
500 monthly during 1915" says G.
w. Hewitt, secretary and treasurer
OF the Duplex Truck Company of
Lansing. Michigan.
THE value OF Duplex trucks to be
manufactured during 1918 will total
$12,s60,000, or about ten times the
value of our 1917 production.
Our new factory buildings will
give us about 100000 square feet of
additional floor space-one of the
buildings being 402 by 72 feet, and
the other SOC by ~ feet. Both are
two-story structures"
Mr.. Hewitt says the demand for
Duplex trucks has exceeded the ex-
pectation of the company's officials
and that the new buildings are be-
ing rushed to completion in order
that production of trucks may be
trebled by the first of the year.
While our domestic business has
been growing by leaps and bounds
rNd Duplex trucks are now being
operated throughout the United
States - our foreign business has
been gradually increasing every
month since the Duplex Company
was reorganized last December" I"
said Mr. Hewitt.
I'VE now have Duplex trucks in
several South American countries
Hawaii and China, and have orders
from our export agents to ship
trucks to other foreign countries.
We have made no special effort to
secure foreign business because the
demand from our American dealers
has far exceeded our production dur
ing the past year."
Mr.. Hewitt was elected a director
and officer of the Duplex Company
when the corporation was taken
over by Lansing automobile men the
latter part of 1917 and the COM
pany's capital stock was increased
to S1,000,000.
Mr.. Hewitt, like many other sue
cessful automobile executives. is a
graduate of the bicycle business hav-
ing been associated with the Amer
lean Bicycle Company and the Pope
Manufacturing Company. While with
the latter concern Mr.. Hewitt first
met H. NJ. Lee, president and gener-
al manager of the Duplex Company
Both later went to Lansing and
were with the REQ Motor Car Com
pany until the Duplex Company was
reorganized.

T Foreshadows Motor
Freight Line Service

One of the important resolutions
adopted by the convention of the
Chamber of Commerce of the Unit
ed States in Atlantic City last week,
from the point of view of railroad
men, shippers and the motor truck
industry. was the recommendation
calling for the immediate improve
ment of the nations public high
ways. in order to facilitate transpor-
tation.
1T is essential that all the trans
portation facilities of the nation
should be brought to the highest
state of efficiency in order that food
stuffs may be moved most economi-
cally to the market, and that man
ufactured products be moved at the
lowest cost from the factory to the
consumer" says the resolution.
The public highways offer good,
prompt and economical means to
supplement transportation by rail
improvement of our public highways
is important and should be for
warded in every proper way"
This Endorsement of the public
highway as means of conserving
railway equipment, presented for
mally by the greatest business or
ganization in the United States, is
looked upon, as a recommendation
which will have far-reaching results.
1t is in line with the recent state
ment of the Car Service Commission
of the Railroads War Board which
urged the use of motor trucks for
long hauls wherever possible.
Most roads in the populous sec
tions are already in sufficiently sub
stantial condition to permit the safe
and speedy passage of heavily load
ed motor trucks travelling between
cities. In the view of many, the
same kind of roads, constructed un-
der federal convention, and extend
ing to the farthest parts of the ma
ton, would soon be followed by the
organization of the highway freight
train.
1t causes no comment to-day to
see fleets of motor trucks making
regular hauls between Akron, o.,
and Boston, Mass, or New York and
Baltimore
Besides long hauls. the motor
truck is engaged in other work of
the greatest Importance in relieving
the freight congestion-this consists
of clearing the railroad >terminals
and docks throughout the country
of the mass of goods that is chok-
ing the stream of transportation.
The war has made more acute a
freight situation that was grave at
best, and business executives every
where are turning to the motor
truck as a remedy.
