A comparison of statistics shows
that in I'.ttfiJ a total of 37,600,000
Urea were produced. Estimates for
1923 point to a total production of
43,000,600 tires according to stati-
flii's.
'This estimate is based upon the
total number of cars in the United
Status, at the average consumption
per year, plus an average of lour

Never fill the battery with water
to too high a level. The water will
tend to work through the top, start-
ing corrosion of the terminals and
quick destruction of the wooden ho*.
The top of the box should be kept Ce",eM
Iry, and the terminals should be
cleaned and covered with vaseline,
so that moisture- may not collect
upon the metal parts.
In addition, there were 182,714
motor cycles aud 29,328 trailers.
A comparison of the truck regis-
tration figures with those for the
preceding year shows au increase of
30 |>er cent, indicating that this
phase of highway transport is un-
dergoing rapid development. This
is not confined fb industrial sections.
Such agricultural States as Virginia.
Indiana and Florida show Increases
of 33 per cent, 30 per cent and 29
per cent, respectively, which sug-
gests that many farmers are chuny,
ing their method of hauling as a
result of road improvement.
The total gross registration reve-
nue amounted to $152,647,823, of
which $117,093,116 was applied to

A writer in Hoard's Dairyman sub
mils these as refiuiremerits for insur
ance against poor results in dairying

1. A pure-bred sire must be used
that is a >food individual ami shows
that he is bred for production by hav-
ing a good pedigree. If it is possible
to secure a sire that has already
proven his merit by'producTngpr<~-
ductive daughters, the rates of this
insurance will be reduced.
2. 'l'he calves from the best cows
must be raised. Tli
whole milk for tin<
and then fed libera
grain and hay.
3. The heifers also must be liber-
ally fed to produce huge animals.
In the winter time feed from two to
five pounds of (train and com silage
at will. A liberal amount, of clover
or alfalfa hay will provide an abund-
ance of mineral mallei as well as
furnish excellent proteins for growth
4. The heifers must be bred when
from sixteen to twenty months old
to be pure bred sire.
5. The milk from each cow should
be weighed so that she can be fed
according to her production, as fol-
lows: One pound of grain per day
for each three to four pounds of milk
produced, depending upon the per
cent of fat in the milk. In addition
feed thirty to forty pounds of corn Lj,.^ )jHt
silage and all the clover or alfalfa
hay they will eat up clean.
