The high grade asphalt roofing
which our government experts tiave
chosen is what manufacturers, call a
"by-product" roof. Its base is a thick,
soft felt made of old rags, aed these
rags come from tons and tons of our
last winter's clothing that have been
collected And made into roofing felt
This Information will surprise many
people, who may still have In mind the
old-time "paper roofing" or "tar pa
per." or the later so-called "rubber"
roofing; hut these are largely bygones.

The modern
soft, pliable felt which is saturated
with several times its own weight of
blended asphalts. Thus asphalt lias

net for over head as for under wheels,
in preference to wood, or metal.
A writer in the Saturday Evening]
Post, Mary Roberts Rinehart, recently
mentioned the extereme discomfort ex
perienced hy some of the Officers Re
serve Corps men under metal roofs in
the older cantonments during the sum

pliait has brought about much more
comfortable conditions in the hot
southern camps and it also keeps the
interiors warmer in the extreme cold
up north, where other camps are lo
cated.
"By-products" are playing a big part
in this war. The Germans have car

nation. For fighting purposes
have followed the plan of using "ev

In addition to the fact that Uncle
Sam's buyers and builders tound this
roof quick and easy to lay. low in
maintenance cost, long-lived, water
proof and weather-proof, fire-retard
ant, and other things a good roof
should be, it was pointed out that as
asphalt roofing came In compact rolls
it would save space in freight cars! —
and also that it would conserve lumber
which is hard to get for shingles es
pecially.
flow many households look into
their purchases as carefully as Uncle
Sam does? With him, losses great or
■miali cannot ho tolerated, because in
the aggregate the leakage of supplies
and money would be simply stagger
ing. When you consider the number
and size of cantonments—a small city,
each of them, and the millions of
square feet of roof needed, the money
saved In selecting a durable asphalt
roofing is important.

Professor Sparkle of Seattle, 1
Wash., advocates a system of charplt- |

instead of on the outside. A descrip
tion of the system appeared in
columns about a year ago. It requires |
some skill to obtain results by this
method, as several of our readers wrote i
saying that they had tried it without I
satisfactory results. It is better suited
for the destruction of the woods of the
Pacific coast than for those of the
East.

EXCELLENT FEED FOR DAIRY
Peavine Silage Is Very Palatable, Con
taining More Protein Than
That From Corn.
Peavine silage is an excellent feed
for dairy cows, being very palatable
and containing more protein than corn
silage and approximately equaling it
In the total nutrients. Because of its
strong odor, peavine silage should be
fed after rather than before milking
to prevent tainting the milk. It may
be fed in as large quantities as will
be consumed but is more satisfactory
when supplied at the rate of about 25
pounds per cow per day.

CERTAIN-TEED is the best roof, not only because it costs
less to manufacture, but also because it is weather-tight, light
weight, clean, sanitary, fire-retardant, and costs practically
nothing to maintain.
It is now used as the preferable type of roof for office buildings,
factories, hotels, stores, warehouses, garages, farm buildings
etc., where durability is demanded. CERTAIN-TEED is
guaranteed fer S, 10 or 15 years, according to thickness (1,
2or 3 ply).
