Each wheel rotation presses the valve point, compressing the tire and driving hot air from the inner tube into the wheel space, then cool air returns, creating constant circulation to keep tires and tubes cool.
Owners of mid and low priced cars face wire control problems for the tuition unit and carburetor as the tube housing the wire moves with the wire. A fix involves holding the tube in place with wooden blocks cut to fit and bolted to the engine frame, soldered at points to stabilize movement.

Cutting corn for the silo before it is ready is too general a practice. The full feeding value cannot be obtained until the soft dough stage. Lower leaves die and ears hard, but stalks and upper leaves stay green and succulent. Cutting early markets cattle or hogs before finishing, warns UJ Department of Agriculture.
Cattle feeding tests at the Wyoming experiment station show oat and pea silage can replace alfalfa hay at two pounds of silage per one pound of hay. Over 119 days in the winter of 1915-16, growing heifers fed the silage averaged 2 pounds daily gain at a cost of 5 cents per head per day, versus 0.06 pounds daily gain at 9.4 cents per day without silage. Ten pounds of silage replaces five pounds of alfalfa.
