Corbin has produced ensilage said
to equal grass or corn fodder in
food value.
One pound of the sulphate salts
to every ton OF ensilage. he says,
quickly reduces the woody thorns TO
a semi-liquid condition, harmless to
livestock.
Corbin estimates cactus ensilage
will cost one-fourth as much as
corn ensilage does in the United
States. He expressed the opinion
at home here that cactus feed
might be shipped in alright con-
tainers TO the dairy regions Of the
north.
The discovery may be utilized In
the semi-arid cattle country ex-
tending from Texas to California
and far south into Mexico where
the prolific desert plant abounds.

been known many years and scien-

with which thorns could be burned
off but the process was too slow and

Roof Which Breathes.

when the vacuum became too great was in
stalled and relieved the situation. This daily
escape Of gas-laden air and later inlet of pure
air in time resulted in an appreciable loss of gas
To oversome the loss a new roof, which
hoated on the surface of the oil was invented,
which eliminates all air space. This type roof
Is especially practicable for tanks which are
maintaining constantly changing levels of oil
from frequent Withdrawals and additions.
The new-type roof, the "breather' type, is
attached securely and in an alright manner
to the rim of the tank and then descends to.
ward the center for space and then levels of,
forming an inverted cone. This roof, being
flexible, works as a diaphragm and expands or
contracts as the pressure requires.
The Bureau of Mines believes that the
breather roof, which has play of nearly feet
at the center, provides a solution of the expan-
standardization problem in storage tanks and
sees in It a means OF eliminating the evapora-
ton waste.

THE oil industry, in its progress toward
eliminating the loss Of oil through evapora-
ton, explosion and other causes in storage
tanks, has gone one step farther, and now.
through the aid of the United States Bureau
of Mines, has evolved roof which ''breathes."
Tanks filed to absolute capacity are dangerously
filled when the possibilities Of expansion and
contraction due to 40 or so degree changes in
temperature between day and night are con-
Sidered.
To overcome this dif1culty relief valves were
installed on the tanks, which permitted the
escape of air from tanks which were filled to
something less than their capacity. proper
empty space was maintained in each tank to
permit the petroleum to expand under rising
temperatures without overlooking or bursting
the tanks. The relief valve permitted the COM
pressed air to escape before the pressure became
too graf.
This air, unfortunately, was saturated with
gas which had evaporated from the petroleum
and was thus lost when it passed out through
the valve.
Naturally when night came and the tenn
perature lowered there was q vacuum created
in the tanks. and this, too, presented q hazard.
