WAKE SILO WALLS AIR-TIGHT
lus'iiic Paraffin Coaling Benefit*
Structures of I'orous Material.
"With the silo-filling senson ap-
proaching, a careful examination of
silos, followed by necessary repairs
w H help to improve the keeping
quality of the contents. According
io studies of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, air-tight
walls nre the chief requirement;
fart, a leak no larger than a small
rail hole may spoil several hundred
pounds of silage. In the case of
wood-stave silos thte hoops and braces
should receive attention to insure
eloBv fitting.
Silos made of brick, concrete, or
| ther material of porous or semi-
pvrous nature, are benefited by
inside coating of a preparation which
seals the pores and also prevents
the action of silage juices on the
walls.
The coating most commonly used
hifcherto is coal tar thinned with gas-
oline and applied with a paint brush
A number of materials of like nature
have f>een considered for this work,
but the one showing the most promise
is paraffin.
How to Apply Paraffin.
Paraffin may be applied either
void or hot to silo walls. With the
cold method, the paraffin is dissolved
in a volatile carrier like naphtha un-
til a saturated solution is obtained.
Four pounds of paraffin dissolved in
one-half gallon of gasoline or naph-
tha. will make one gallon of this so-
lution. The solution is then applied1
much like paint to the surface of the
concrete, which it penetrates accord-
ing to dryness and porosity. One
jfslTon has a fcoverjng capacity of
about 200 square feet.
The naphtha soon evaporates, leav-
ing the paraffin in the holes. When
applying the paraffin by this method,
special care must be taken that there
is Rood ventilation in the silo and
thai there are no lights or fires near-
by. Naphtha is very inflammable,
and a serious explosion or fire may
result from careless use.
Walls Must be Warm.
"Paraffin may also be applied in
melted form. It requires six and one-
half pounds of paraffin to make one
gallon of the hot paraffin solution.
The work should be done on a warm
day and the concrete must also be
sufficiently warmed by artificial heat
so that the paraffin may be thorough-
ly rubbed' in. One gallon will cover
about 250 square feet of surface.
When this method is followed, a
Wow-torch should be used to warm
ffie walls as the paraffin is being ap-
plied, and also to thin and spread the
Ibyer of paraffin. Two buckets of
jmraffin should be used, one to be
heating while the other is being ap-
plied. The hot-paraffin treatment
Is one of the most successful for
waterproofing surfaces exposed to
weal be r, but it requires some experi-
ence to obtain successful results.
The amount of paraffin required
t® coat a silo may be determined in
the following manner:
Multiply the height of the silo by
its circumference (the circumference
is the diameter multiplied by 3.1416)
which gives the number of square feet
of surface on the inside of the silo.
If the cold method is to be used, di-
vide the result just obtained by 200,
which gives the number of gallons of
the paraffin-naphtha solution re-
quired. Multiply this result by the
amount of paraffin and naphtha in
each gallon to obtain the total ma-
terials required.
Use of Hot Method.
Where the hot method is used, di-
vide the number of square feet of silo
wall to be coated, by 250 to find the
equired number of gallons. Multiply
fchas result by 6 1-2 to obtain the num-
ber of pounds of paraffin required.
Fbr example, to find the paraffin re-
quired to coat a silo 14 ft. in diameter
and ;#) ft. high:
Diameter (14 ft.) x 3.1416=43.98
ft., the circumference of the silo.
Height (30 ft.) x circumforence
(43.98) ft.)—1319.4 sq. ft., the wall
area.
Area (1319.4 sq. ft.) -f- 25 sq. ft. _
5.27, or number of gallons required.
Gallons required (5.27) X f'l/s '~=
34.25 the number of pounds of paraf-
fin required.
In both cases the cost mny be esti-
mated from the local prices of paraf-
fin and naptha. It should he re-
membered, however, that these fig
ures will vary with local conditions.

Washington, Aug. 16.—The 1919
edition of the Arabian Nights may
l>e read today in the stories of wonder
and magic of this war which equal
those tales of Aladdin and Ali Buba.
All the glory and sacrifice of war,
all the beauty of the East and' the
magic healing of Arabian wizards
are woven in the story of Nassib, a
Syrian rug maker.
Nassib was born in Syria, but with
his eyes turned West. All through
the first years of his life, while he
was absorbed in learning rug making,
and was drinking in the color and
romance of the East, he thought of
that time when he would travel to
that wonderful country.
Leaving Syria when he was just
a boy he spent five years in Russia
at school, and later four years in
English schools learning the language
and the meaning of western civili-
zation. At last he reached America.
Down in a small room he set up his
loom, and every day he worked away
at wonderful patterns in soft colors.
His rugs were easy to sell but the
work was slow.
One day with a rug half finished
on the loom and bright worsteds ly-
ing loosely about, he went away to
fight with the Americans in France.
During the war a hand-grenade struck
his leg, necessitating amputation five
inches above the knee. Nassib came
back to the half finished rug and the
bright, loose woolens. He looked at
the big loom and knew that he would
never use it again. A big loom needs
two good legs and his right one was
gone.
After a few days when his mask-
like face hid a great pain and dis-
appointment, he was found by the
Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation. They saw that behind that
Eastern calm there was a brain burn-
ing to progress and they set about
helping him. He was sent to a tex-
tile school in February of this yar,
and his work in textile designing has
proved to be of such superior quality
that he has been recommended for a
complete course leading to the degree
of textile engineer.
From Syria to an American school!
From a hand loom to a modern ma-
chine! Nassib's wound was not a
wound, but a key to success.
Other soldiers, sailors or marines
interested in overcoming vocational
handicaps are invited to :eommuni-
cate with the Federal Board for Vo-
cational Education, 200 New Jersey

An Oklahoma farmer had 2 regis-
tered Shorthorn yearling bulls that he
Triced at $100 each for breeding pur-
poses. A butcher saw the bulls, ask-
ed the price, but learned that they
were registered, and that it would
take $100 each to buy them. He bought
them, killed them, and stated that
price
upon a large portion of Buick repair
parts. The price reduction upon some
of the essential parts will be extreme-
ly beneficial to all.
The Buick Motor Company has al-
ways (maintained close ciov-opcration
with their owners through the dif-
ferent factory departments and like-
wise through their dealer organiza-
tions. Prompt service to owners has
been an important factor of their
business, in requiring that the needs
of each owner lalike are skillfully
taken care of and that efficient ser-
vice is rendered.
Instead of devoting all of their time
to the manufacture of Buick Auto-
mobiles, the Buick Motor Company,
has been equipping themselves to in-
crease their parts service to their
thousands of daily users, thereby en-
abling the owner to hold his up-keep
cost to a minimum.
Large repair parts distributing de-
partments are established in each
Statjl, through which the dealers1
stocks are kept up to the maximum.
Special travelers regularly go over
cach district monthly, checking up
each and every stock so that prompt
services can be rendered upon a min-
utes notice.
One can readily see the important
advantages that such an organization
affords to the Buick tourist and local
owner. Over-crowding the factory
with small orders is eliminated and
replaced by shipments in car-load
lots to dealers and distributing points,
thus causing a considerable saving
in transportation and handling.
In nearly all manufacturing plants,
repair parts are made right along
with their product, but such is not
tho case with Buick parts. These
are maunfactured in separate plants
built especially for this purpose and
devoted entirely from the building
of Motor Cars. Hhis enables the
factory to devote their entire time
to repair parts construction and' are
not compelled to curtail or stop man-
ufacture to give preferencp to the
construction of new motor cars.
Improved and efficient equipment
together with the proper organiza-
tion has made it possible for the
Buick factory to render this valuable
service to their owndrs in the reduc-
tion of part prices while some con-
cerns are being forced to make in-
creases.
