To lie luxuriously on soft cushions
and thus pilot your own small air ma
chine is the latest possibility in aerial
flight.
Tiny Arrears are being designed and
are to be tested in flight, in which the
narrow body, with wings on either
side, accommodates just one occu-
pant, lying prone. This will enable
the tiny engine to drive the machine
more swiftly through the air than
would be possible with the air-re-
sistance set up If body was pro-
vided big enough for the pilot to
assume the ordinary sitting position.
Perfect comfort will. it is claimed,
be assured by sofa-like reclining
frame. On this the pilot, enclosed
in his miniature machine, will lie
face downward, looking outwards
through front window or sideways
and downwards through other little
windows.

Paper Makers Complain
of Scarcity of Rags

1t seems like barking back to early
days that the manufacturers Of high
grade papers have called on Secretary
Hoover of the Commerce department
to aid them in procuring reserve
stock of rags. Some of the mills had
less than weeks supply on hand
when they made the request, and
none Of them had any considerable
stock.
In the days following the Revolu-
ton paper manufacturers advertised
in the newspapers urging housewives
to save their rags that they might
have a sufficient supply for their use.
This was before the discovery that
paper could be made from wood pulp,
says the Brockton Times.
In the early days of paper making
tombs were rifled and the wrappings of
mummies were converted into paper.
For many years most Of the rag
stock for paper mills had come, from
across the sea. Smyrna was the great
shipping point, and thousands of tons
were sent here every year.
Due perhaps to the prevailing pow
erty, Europe is sending less than half
the usual amount Of rags. Probably
the people are still wearing them.

Ventilation Necessary
in Storing Seed Corn

Ventilation and heat are the two
things necessary to successful seed
corn storage. Any place that has a
good roof. is dry and has plenty Of
ventilation is satisfactory.
The chief problem in storing seed
corn is to provide means whereby
the moisture content can be reduced
to the point where the germ is not
injured by freezing weather. and that
it remains this way until planting time.
If the corn is picked early enough,
properly hung and in dry, airy. place,
there is usually no need for artificial
heat.
Never store corn in sacks, piles or by
placing one row of ears Immediately
on top of another. writes Ralph E..
Johnston in the Dakota Farmer. Leave
some air around each ear.
There are many different methods
of storing seed corn. There is the
binding Irvine method by which the
ears are laid on the twine crossing
the cords each time after the ear is
laid in place and alternating the butts
and tips. Ten to twelve ears are put
in each string. There are wire racks
of various kinds with both vertical
and horizontal strands. There are
various kinds of ''treer or post" sys-
TENS by which ears are attached to
nails which have been driven in or
through posts or boards in an upright
slanting manner.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
The Southern states show greater
cooperative marketing growth since
1916 than other states where co-opera-
tive marketing is Of longer standing,
according to a tabulation made by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The large volume of business
handled by the recently organized to-
bacco, cotton and rice associations is
given as the reason for the change.
Cooperative organizations In the
seven West North Central states ham
died 45 per cent of the total business
transacted in all states in 1915.
whereas cO-Operatives In these states
now handle 30 per cent of the total
business. Organizations in the three
Pacific states in 1915 did "a per cent
of the total business, as compared
with 10 per cent in 1923. Co-operatives
in the East North Central group did
IA per cent of the total In 1915. as
compared with Is per cent In 1923,
and co-Operatives in the Middle Allan
tic group did per cent in 1915 as
compared with 121a per cent in 1923.
The greatest growth is shown in the
East South Central group. where CO.
operatives in 1915 did little better than
l per cent of the total business, as
compared with 8 per cent in 1923. The
figures for the South Atlantic states
show jump from per cent to per
cent. and the West South Central
states an increase from per cent in
1915 to 4 per cent in 1923. A small in
crease is shown in the New England
states and slight decrease in the
Mountain states.

Hogging Down Corn Good
Practice on All Farms

1t usually is wiser and safer to turn
pigs into standing corn gradually, so
they will not contract digestive trou-
bles from eating the immature corn.
Some say immature corn causes
cholera. which is not true, although it
sometimes sets up digestive troubles
that resemble cholera or else get the
hogs system badly out of condition
and invite attack by cholera. In a
summary of several tests made at vari-
GUS midwestern experiment stations
we get this general conclusion: In each
Of six trials one lot of pigs was fat
tened in the corn field and another lot
fed corn on the ear in dry lot All
pigs got either tankage or middlings
as supplement to the corn. which is
absolutely essential. Some rape and
little rye was found in the standing
corn also. The pigs eating the stand
ing corn made slightly more rapid
gains and made 100 pounds of pork on
6 per cent less concentrates than the
pigs fed corn in the yard
Unless weather is unfavorable the
pigs will pick up the corn as clean as
though it were husked. Rape or soy
beans in the corn make an ideal sup
plement, or else give them access to
alfalfa, clover or rape pasture in adj
dition to the standing corn. if availa-
BILE. If the pigs get no supplementary
green forage as noted, then be sure to
feed some protein concentrate or skim
milk.

Of Much Importance to
Keep Outside Cave Dry

The, outside cave or storage cellar
should be well ventilated and well
drained and this is problem in many
kinds Of soil. Keeping pit well
drained by using rather high point
of land and with the walls of the en-
trance several inches above ground
there will be no danger of water from
the outside.
Seepage can be prevented by digging
large pocket In the floor before the
concrete is laid. This is filled with
gravel or sand and the concrete then
sloped toward this pocket from all
sides where it terminates in a drain.
Building tile will generally give dry
floor if they are laid fiat and end to
end. If desired they can be covered
with two inches of concrete or cinders.

Immature Crops Are Not
Good for Making Silage

Every silo should be filed. because
silage Is the cheapest feed this year.
Good silage cannot be made from i'm
mature crops. Corn and the sorghums.
when approaching maturity, make
silage of the best quality. Fully ma
tured and frosted crops make good
silage If plenty Of water is added In
any case, the finer the feed is cut the
better will be the quality of the silage.
Silage should be packed thoroughly in
the silo, especially around the edges.
The faster a silo is filled the more
tramping and packing is necessary.

and Railroads
Need Billion Each Year

At a time when the railroads of
America need at least s., 100000 900
year for their development, the public
highways of the country are receiving
that amount and more, says the Provi-
dence Journal.
In 1923 the sum of ST, 100000, GOO was
expended upon road improvement,
while the total capital expenditure on
railroads, including equipment, was
only $750000.O00
This means that we are starving
our railroads and at the same time
providing new means for their COM
petitors, the motor cars and partic-
ularly the motor trucks, to flourish.
The situation is unfair, because the
trucks are permitted to operate with
out paying anything like their fair
share of the upkeep of the modern
highway surfaces of which they take
advantage and on which they put a
heavy tax of wear and tear.

DRIVE
AIDS ROAD SURFACE

When man or a family gets used
to eating pancakes for breakfast, II
takes an extra effort and much adver-
Using to make them believe that there
is breakfast food that is cheaper and
better 1t is the same with everything
Roads and automobiles are no exeep-
ton.
We have our present style automo
bile driven by the two rear wheels
The two front wheels carry about the
same load, many times there is more
weight on the front wheels than the
rear ones. And still the rear wheels
are compelled to do the pulling for all
four.
In travelling around the country on
dirt or gravel roads you will notice the
road surface is full of short little holes
dug into the road by this pull on the
wheels. Because the pull on the road
surface with the present style drive liz
exactly equal to the pull on the tire
surface, any dirt or gravel road will
give way under such a pull or strain.
This strain or pull ON the road sur
face is entirely gone from the front
wheels. If we used horses to pull the
auto instead of an engine, we would
do away with all this pull by the
wheels on the road surface
Now, it was never supposed that
rolling road did it any harm. Neither
would rolling an auto over the road
do much harm. BY driving an auto
over the road with all four wheels
turning together we would be as near
the rolling idea as possible. BY turn
ing all four wheels at the same time
they simply act as rollers and do not
dig into the road surface enough to
pull it loose.
claim that four-wheel drive will
more than pay for the extra cost in
saving on tires alone, writes J. B.

man. 1t would also save on gasoline;
less horse power would be required. 1t
is the big secret of good roads in this
country. Until we get the auto per-
fected and a successful four-wheel
drive, we will never be able to main
tain any road system at a reasonable
cost.
Our present automobile engineers
are just about the same as the man
that got used to the pancakes.
