silo is built of concrete, it will be
come stronger year after year in
stead of deterioratiDg.
The silo is best adapted where
corn and sorghums are easily
grown. 1t is most often found OH
livestock farms but It has been
shown to be profitable invest
ment on truck and tobacco farms.
Silage may be fed to any kind of
livestock and it's use for wintering &
mules has been proved satlsfacto
ry and profitable. 1t provides
forage the year round. Dairy
farmers have found the silo espe
cially valuable in milk production.
To make the silo a profitable in
vestmeht, however, a farmer
should have at least ten cows or
the equivalent of this number of
other stock, says the University of
Florida extension division.
The size of the silo will depend
upon the amount of silage to be
fed daily. Silage should be re
moved from the top at the rate of
two to three inches daily, the
warmer the weather during use
the more silage must be removed
from the surface daily to prevent

building is to make the diameter
too large for the size of the herd.
The weight of cubic foot of si.
lage varies with the height of the
silo, but III one thirty feet high it
will average about forty pounds.
SO, by knowing the amount of 81.
lage to be fed daily, it is possible
to estimate what the diameter of
the silo should be to permit the
removal of a certain number of
inches each day.
A 9O0-pound COW will ordinarily
consume 80 pounds of silage
day; a 1900 pound cow about 40
pounds. Yearllngs will eat about
one half as much as mature ami
male; fatteniDg cattle, 20 to 80
pounds for each 1000 pounds of
live weight. Horses should be
limited to Is or 20 pounds daily.
After determining the diameter
of the silo, the number of tons of
silage that will be required during
the season will determine the

Cadillac Costs Less
in Farm Products

According to data collected by the
Cadillac Motor Car Company. the
price. of its cars is relatively lower
to-day than it ever has been.
While the materials entering into
the car have advanced in cost from
SO to 100 per cent. and in some cases
more than $50 per cent, to say
nothing of increased labor cost, the
price of the car has not been ad-
vanced even on a scale with the mini
mum increase before mentioned.
The data shows that whereas it
took about 1850 bushels of wheat to
buy last years car. it now takes only
about 1900 bushels. Last year 2,700
bushels of corn would buy a Cadillac,
while this year 1.400 bushels will do
it. Last year 80 bales of cotton
bought the car; this year about 20
bales serve the purpose.
And so on, down to the line-po-
tatoes, pig iron and eggs; beans,
leather and cheese; onions, lum Der
and lard; it requires one to two
thirds less in these products to per-
form the service they did year ago.

Formal announcement of the new
Nash car will be made September 15'
While recent developments at Ke-
nosha have indicated that the new
Nash car was practically ready for

ance given by the Nash Motors Com
pany that a new Nash car was on
its way. No public announcement as

price or specifications of this new
car, but 1t is a known fact that the
new car is strictly a Nash product
from the ground up and will be
made % per cent. complete within
the walls of the great factory at
Kenosha.
1t is also a known fact that the
type of motor that is being manu-
featured for this new model repre-
sents a step forward IN motor con-
struction. Those who have been
fortunate enough to secure inside
information state that the engine is
remarkable for its simplicity of con-
struction; while it represents a stand
ard type of motor now in general
use rather than anything radical, yet
it is enough different to set new de-
sign of construction.

Illustration shows how the tube
may be caught underneath bead Of
case. This may occur from putting
too much air in the tube before
application or from not using care
to keep tube away from rim until
beads of case have been properly en-
gagged in clinches of rim. rms may
also occur from using TUBE o.
wrong size. For example, a "
inch tube IN a 4-inch case. If flap
works out of position when the tire
is being applied to rim, tube may be
injured by flap or beads OF case.
When a tire is ridden soft there is
n tendency for the beads to lift up
at the toes due to the inernal pres
sure and weight of car and some
times permit tube to work under
bead. This is aggravated when the
tire has been continually ridden sort
and beads have been cut and broken
by rim. Don't crowd tire of wrong
size on a rim simply because you
are able to do so by physical force.
1t isn't economy-aSide from the
injury to the beads, much annoyance
can be expected as the result OF
tubes being pinched.
Deterioration, contrary to the gen.
eral impression. is not necessarily a
result of age but is largely influence
ed by the conditions under Whlch
tires are held in stock.
Tires should not be kept in. warm
place for any great length of time,
as light and heat will cause the sui
phur to come to the surface and
make the rubber minutely porous.
A dark, dry room at temperature
of from 40 to 60 degrees is most
favorable for retarding chemical ac-
ton.
When the car is laid up for the
winter, or for either reasons is not
used for several weeks, the stale air
should be removed from the tires.
Partially initiate with fresh air =
enough to round out the tires and
cover them with muslin or other ma
terial to protect from the light. the
weight of the car should be sup
ported by blocks or jacks, so that
there will not be any weight on the
tires.

many raw materials for motorcar
construction. 1t is only natural, too,
that the rise in prices, will have q
tendency to still further decrease
buying and thus add to the pro-
duction cost of each car.
Automobiles are not going to be
cheaper at any time soon, l doubt
very much If there will ever come
time again when cars can be bought
at such low prices as right now. You
probably never will have another
opportunity to purchase an auto
mobile of such power, size and quail
ity as either the Studebaker -Four"
or six" for so little money.
"Those who buy their Studebaker
car this week get the advantage of
present low prices. Late buyers take
their own chances. They put off
buying at their own risk.
I'VE were fortunate enough to re-
ceive our full quota of cars previous
to the price increase announcement.
Although the notice from the factory
that prices would advance on Sep
tember Is has depleted our stock
tremendously, we still have enough
cars of all models. to take care of all
orders placed this week.
Some of the Studebaker models
now on our floors are finished in q
number of handsome and distinctive
color combinations, and fitted with
the novel and striking gypsy top.
Early buyers will have their choice
of Studebaker car in either chrome
green, battleship gray, purple lake or
auto blue, with running gear in con-
trasting colors.
But six days is a very short time
especially so when one considers the
money-saving advantages of acting
before the expiration of that time
And early buyers, naturally, will
avoid disappointment"

Studebaker Dealer
Gives Final Warning

"The time for quick action is
here" says p. Driscoll, distributor
of Studebaker cars for Harrisburg
and vicinity, and I urge all intend
ing purchasers of motorcar to inn
prove their time this week, and place
their order for Studebaker. And
this isn't a selfish proposition either.
"On September 18th, at the close
of business, the prices of all Stude-
baker models will increase in price.
This gives intending buyers, and
those who have just been putting it
off," only siv more days in which to
place their orders at the old prices.
THE uncertainty of the market

and all other metals, for leather,
rubber and cotton, by reason of tho
governments demands for these ma
terials in the successful prosecution
of the war not only means another
rise in prices but may produce 4

Packard Sales Show
Substantial Increase

The Packard Motor Car Company
of Detroit, Michigan, announces an
increase of 1914 per cent. in motor
carriage sales in the past four weeks
covering the new series Packard
Twin Six over the same period last
} year.
The year of August 1st. 1916 to
August /, 1917, was the greatest in
I the history of the company. b.
B. Harrington. Manager of the
Packard Harrisburg Branch, states
that he believes the increase in bus
; mess is due largely to the warm re-
ception the motoring public has Civ
en- the new series Packard Twin
Six.
When war was declared" said
Mr.. Harrington. the Packard Com
pany did not curtail their purchases
of supplies or alter their manufac-
turing schedule, but instead prepar-
ed for a larger growth in business
that would be natural under the con-
tinuance of normal times. For this
reason they have been able TO meet
the opportunities which have been
offered in the motor carriage and
commercial car field"
Packard dealers have enlarged
their sales and service staffs, and
the whole organization has devoted
itself vigorously to getting ready for
more business. A concrete example
of this expansion is evidenced in
Philadelphia by the company hav-
ing practically completed an addition
to their old establishment, which is
now more than doubled in size and
facilities.
The new remodeled Packard Har-
ris sburg establishment is another
striking example of the Packard
Company's expansion.
Mr.. Harrington says that all cir
cumstances considered, he feels that
the increase in Packard business is
a genuine compliment to the new
series motor carriages. The new
fuselage body lines of the Packard
together with the splendid Twin Six
chassis, meet the most exacting de-
mands of the motorist.

Japanese Christians
Demand Greater
Measure Of Liberty

Toxic, Dec. 2O.-Japanese Chris
tians of the various protestant bodies
celebrated the 400th anniversary OF
the day on which Martin Luther
nailed his theses to the church door
in Wittemburg by protesting against
the governments policy of compell-
ing participation in Shinto rites. The
day being also the emperor's official
birthday gave natural opportunity
to cypress first of all the patriotic
and faithful devotion of the Christian
body to the imperial house. A dec
laration read by the Rev. Danji Ebana
who represents the extreme radical
wing of the Congregationalists, con-
tanned one article reading:
Freedom of religious belief is
guaranteed to us by the constitution
OF our empire. We should exert our
selves in order to bring about a per-
feet realization of our rights under
this provision. Consequently, the per-
formances and events connected re-
Gently with shrines, the relation be-
tween those shrineS and the nation
al education, the many practices
carried on in towns and villages, all
of which are more or less coercive in
nature, must be viewed as infringe
ments of the freedom of religious be-
lief. We believe it to be the duty of
the public-spirited men of our en-
pire to correct these evils and to seek
to bring about more perfect realiZa-
ton of right and justice"
This action on the part of protest
ant christians in Japan has been pre-
cipitated by the transference of the
governments department of religion
from the home department to the
department of education. 1t has al
ways been a matter of debate as to
whether the Shinto cult is a religion
or not; but many of its ceremonies
have a distinctively religious char
acter and as such the enforcement
of them in schools and at patriotic
ceremonies is felt by Christians to
be an infringement of religious lib
erty.
