PAINT HELPS STEEL BRIDGES
Life of Many Steel Structures Is Short.
ened by lnfrequent and I'm
proper Attention.

The life of many steel highway
bridges is materially shortened be-
cause Of infrequent and improper
painting, says the bureau of public
roads of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Each year
considerable amount of money is spent
for the replacement of rusted bridge
members that would have remained
sound If they had been kept painted !;
and more serious than the waste Of
money is the danger to the public due
to the weakening of some hidden part
which may cause the collapse of the
whole bridge.
Officials of the bureau urge that all
steel bridges be inspected at least once
each year and repainted at the first
sign Of rusting. Normally repainting
is required at periods of from two
to five years, depending on the climate.
A suitable paint should be used, and If
there is uncertainty about any paint,
information should be requested from
the state highway department.
1t is mistake to repaint without
properly cleaning the metal of all dirt,
rust, loose paint, and blisters. Usual
ly the places hardest to reach are the
ones that should receive the most at
tention.

TO KEEP CAR RUNNING
WELL DURING WINTER
Good, Clean Oil Is of Most Vital
Importance.
Just a Few Changes From Summer
Running Are Necessary and Six
Helpful Suggestions Are Offered
to Owners of Automobiles.

= A motorist should have no more
trouble with his car in wihter than he
does in summer, If he takes the right
PRECAUTIONS. Cold weather operation
requires just few changes from
summer running, and the following six
helpful suggestions are made to those
operating motor cars in cold weather.
l. Use good, clear oil with low
cold test It will flow at the first turn
over.
2. A little alcohol in your radiator
will prevent frozen radiator, cause
less inconvenience and preclude
cracked cylinder blocks.
3. A radiator cover will keep your
engine and radiator warm. 1t also
makes far easier starting and saves
your storage battery.
4. Drain your crank case more fire.
quently in winter than in summer.
Every 500 miles is good plan.
5. Easy starting even in coolest
weather, will result from the use
of volatile gasoline, because Of its
low boiling point.
6. There are more than fifty parts
on your car that need fabrication. See
that they get it this winter.

dicated.
The second drawing illustrates the
method applied to roads that cross
tracks at right angle. The zig-zag
forces a slowing down. there being
one broad turn first. then an acute
one. BY making the acute angle turn
the motorist is given good view of
the tracks in both directions before he
crosses. He Is forced to very slow
speed and will have his car under
control.
Always a Danger Spot.
The principal thing in safeguarding
grade crossings is to make the motor
ist understand that every crossing is a
danger spot. to impress on him, as he
approaches, that he is at place
where he must take precautions. Any
plan which tends to make the mOtOrist
feel that the grade crossing has been
made safe is worse than no plan
at all.
Auto men and railway men gen
orally who have been approached or
the subject have agreed that Mr.. Rob
sons plan is superior to any of the
others suggested and they express the
hope that it will speedily be given :;

PUTTING WATER IN RADIATOR

Pouring too much water in the ra-

Reasons for Dairy SiIo.

A. G. Baer, head of the dairy
department at Oklahoma A. and

silo on dairy farm:
l. More feed can be stored in
given space in form cf silage
than In form of fodder or hay.
2. A smaller loss of food ma
terial when a crop is made into
silage.
3. Corn silage is better feed
than corn fodder.
4. An acre of corn or kafir
can be placed into a silo at
less cost than the same area
when husked and shredded.
. 5. Crops can be put in the
silo during weather which could
not be utilized for curing fodder
or hay.
6. More stock can be kept on
a given area of land when silage
is the basis of ration.
Z. Less waste In feeding Sill
age than fodder.
s. Silage is very palatable.
9. Silage, like other succulent
feeds, has beneficial effect
upon the digestive organs.
10. Silage is tire cheapest and
best form in which succulent
feed can be provided in the win
ter.
II. Silage can be used for sup

cause it requires less labor and

IL. Converting corn or kafir
