Aluminium Solving
Problem Of Making
Motor Cars Lighter

How much can you tighten . mo.
tor car without weakening it1
Is lightness good thing, provid-
ing you can obtain it without sacri-
ficing strength
Those questions have been upper
most with engineers from the be-
ginning of the automobile industry.
1t has been learned through years
of experience that excessive weight
in motor car runs up the cost Of
maintenance, makes driving harder,
and detracts from the life of the
car.
1t Is also obvious that the more
weight you build into car the more
horsepower it takes to propel the
Ear itself and there is nothing that
costs the manufactures so much as
producing the single factor of horse
power. Besides, it is good engi-
leering to have all the horsepowe,
YOU can for carrying live passenger
weight and to require as little as
possible for carrying dead mechan-
ical weight.
All of which argues plainly that
the real job of the engineer is to
tighten his car just as much as he
IAN without weakening it.
Nobody disputes this. The prob
lem, however. is not so easy.
Until science found how to put
tensile strength into aluminium with
out materially increasing its specific
gravity. all that engineers could do
was to use smaller dimensions made
possible by finer steel. This latter
plan held out no hope for materially
decreasing motor car weight.

PRINCIPAL SOURCES
OF LOSS IN MANURE
Plan to Avoid Leaching, Fermen-
tation and Scatterings.
Cost of Handling Is an important
Point In Storinc>-Eest to Leave
Fertilizer Where Produced
Until Spread on Field,

The principal sources of loss in
plant food from manure are through
reaching, fermentation and scattering,
ana If manure isSto be stored, all
practical precautions should be taken
10 Keep down loss from any of these
agencies. An important point to con-
slider in storing manure is tile cost of
handling. Handling manure increases
the expense and at the same time
lowers the value of the manure since
the forking over of compacted manure
exposes 1t to the air and gives the
material a better chance to ferment
and decay. For these reasons it is
best to leave manure undisturbed
where produced, so far as possible,
until 1t can be hauled to the field,
says F. L. Dudley of the University of
Missouri, college of agriculture,
Where animals are confined in stalls
or covered feeding yards the mai re
may be allowed to accumulate for
several months and be hauled out
only once or twice year, with a COM
paratively small loss of plant food. II
plenty of bedding is used it will alb
sorb the liquid manure and the tram
ping of the animals will keep this COM
pact and moist so as to prevent much
of the aerobic fermentation and con-
sequent loss of nitrogen. If manure
Is left in the stall or feed yard where
1T will be kept moist and thoroughly
tramped, so as to exclude the air,
there is no better method of storing.
Since there is no teaching under these

COUNTRY'S FIRST CORN MILL
at a Point on the st. Croix

The site of what undoubtedly was
the first tidewater mill on the Ameri-
can continent has been discovered at
Red Beach, Me-, where Lows brook
empties into the st. Croix river at
point nearly opposite the southern end
of DOchets island. where De M0nts
and his men settled in the year 1904,
three years before the settlement of
jamestown. In excavating for a fish
pond near his summer nome, r. S. Nc
Carter of Cambridge, Mass, unearhed
the unmiStakabIe remains of an an
cient dam of stone and timbers. Com
pairing the site with the original map
of the island, authorities agreed that
1t must have been the site of the wa
ter mill mentioned in the old records
as employed by Sieur De M0nts and
his men to grind their corn, being the
largest stream within an area of sew
eral miles on either side of the river.

COMMON ERROR IN GRAMMAR
Words Begun" and Began" Are
Wrongly Used by Those Careless
in Their Speech.

It is quite common to hear some
one say, II begun to do that work
yesterday" 1.-The battle begun between
the two armies" etc. This use Of
begun" to express the past tense
(sOmetimes called the preteriD OF
begin" is not incorrect, according to
some authorities on the uses of words,
but there is a fairly general agree
ment that the better word to use is
began" If you wish to safeguard
yourself against possible criticism, say
al began to do that work yesterday"
"The battle began between the two
armies" etc, not begun"
Richard Grant White, in words
and Their Uses" high authority,
criticiZes and condemns the use Of
begun" instead of began" to express
the past.
OF course, it is incorrect beyond any
doubt to say, II have began" to ex-
press the perfect tense of begin"
Say, 81 have begun" never II have
began. "-Columbus Dispatch.

FAT THANKSGIVING TURKEYS
Fowls Will Begin to Hang Around
Farm Buildings When Range
Fails In Abundance,

The Thanksgiving turkey will be-
gin to hang around the farm buildings
when the range fails to feed them
abundantly. Turkeys fatten better and
thrive better on old grain. Enough old
corn should be held over to feed them
up to Thanksgiving. However, the
fattening process should not begin I'M
til early November. The important
thing is to feed enough each night to
keep them in the habit of coming
home, and to give them an airy place
10 roost in and clean water to drink,
so that they may build vigorous COLI
stitution and generous framework to
hold white and dark meat for the

TO SUCCEED WITH PUREBREDs
Most Satisfactory and Economical
Manner Is for Farmer to Pur.
chase Best Females.

The most economical and the most
satisfactory way for the average
farmer to start into purebreds is to
purchase good females to start with.
Care should be taken to see that they
are good. They should be healthy, of
the proper type, and either proven
producers or with proven ancestors. It
is better to have only one good COW
than several medium quality animals.
A comparatively small outlay is nee
essary when starting In this manner.

DEMAND IS FOR WHITE CORN
Farmers in Various Sections Lose
Money by Presence Of Straw
CoIored Kernels.

In many sections of the country
farmers are losing money because of
the large percentage of straw-colored
kernels in their market corn which is
graded mixed" The demand in many
sections Of the country is for white
corn for making meal and grits, and
millers will usually pay a premium to
get IT.
To class as "white" under federal
standards, corn must contain Mt least
90 per cent by weight of white kerr
neIs. More than per cent of straw
colored, yellow, red, or any other color
puts IT in the mixed class.

To Make Best SIage.
Authorities agree that the nearer
ripe the corn is, if it contains enough
water to make good silage, the sweet
er the silage will be and consequently
the more palatable; also the greater
the amount of digestible nutrient 1t
will contain. Roughly speaking, a
majority of the ears should be denied.
Is necessary to begin before the corn
Is at its best, otherwise the last cut
will be too ripe.
Shortcut silage means greater slo
capacity, less air space, and If the
corn is little dry. less likelihood of
spelling. Short cutting also, means
reduced capacity of the machine and
more power. If the stalks are coarse
and woody the waste is greater in
long-cut silage.
Water Is Essential.
When corn Is very dry from being
overripe or frozen, it is often neces-
sary to- apply water to the silage in
order to make 1t keep. Enough water
should be applied to moisttn thor
oughly the whole mass. There is little
danger of applying too much water.
Roughly speaking 1t takes one and
one-half TO two horsepower gas for
every ton per hour of green corn cut
one-half inch in length and blown 30
feet high. From this 1t will be seen
that to cut ten tons per hour one
half inch long and blow into a silo so
feet high will require approximately q |
Is or 20-horsepower gas engine. If |
the same amount per hour is cut one
quarter of an inch long 1t will re-
luire considerably more power

conditions there will be practically no
loss of phosphorus or potash. The
covered feed yard is extensively used
in some parts Of the country, and de-
serves more attention in Missouri.
This method of handling manure is
advisable mainly where well-bedded
stalls are provided for horses and in
cattle sheds or mule barns where the
animals run loose and the tramplIng
is more thorough.
