WOMEN MOTORISTS
WANT AUTO SCHOOL

Changes are daily taking place in
the phases of automobiling. The latest
turn shows that women are taking up
the driving Of motor cars seriously.
This fact has been learned from the
Heald's automobile school. which has
decided TO create 9 class for women TO
learn all about the automobile. John
W Griffith. the head OF the school, in
speaking of the class. said yesterday:
SO many women have come TO me to
see If there was any way that they
could join one OF the classes that we
have decided to create this class.
Women want TO know all about the
motor car. so that they can go motor
ing without always having man
along. and are now willing TO spend
the time TO take q course Of study.

10y WILLIAM III. UNDERWOOD.
\ person operating Il dairy OF fifteen
COWS or men should have two gaso-
line engines. | have two engines in
use in my dairy. one seven horse
power and one two horsepower.
The seven horsepower Is used for
grinding feed and the two horsepower
for separating, washing, churning and
pun water.
! once used a sweep mill for grind
ing. hut it was unsatisfactory, because
Just at the time work was slack so we
might grind seyenty-five or q hun
dred bushels Of feel ahead it would
be sure to rain or snow SO we could
not work out of doors.
But with the engine under cover we
can grind at times when we can't do
anything else. With the old horse
power machines. the track was usually
worn II deep bitches which made it
difficult to carry grain In and out.
The horses would not make the cir
cult many times before they would get
To Sinking and the longer we ground
the slower it went.
A seven horsepower engine is plen-
ty large enough to run a tWo-hole
shelter and feed mill at the same
time, but it is a little light ia crush
cobs unless set pretty coarse.
My engine will crush from eighteen
to twenty bushels an hour. and con-
sumo ABOUT One-na!f gallon gasoline
per hour under full load.
1 have never tested 1t to see how
many bushels shelled corn it would
grind. but from the way it crowds
through I would think forty bushels
would not be an e~xtravagant estimate.
This engine could be put to other
uses as we'll as grinding, but I have
never used it for anything else. The
small engine IS used daily at present.
The dairy is producing fifty gallons
Of milk daily and this is separated
with this little engine. It Is set at
800 revolutions. is fitted with a six
inch pulley, drives a large pulley on
the line shaft fifteen inches in diam
eter.
shaft is six inches and a large wooden
pulley on the separator fourteen inches
in diameter.
This set OF pulleys runs the sepa-
rator at ffty-five revolutions. In or
der to figure out the velocity YOU re-
sire z machine to run it is necessary
to have q speed indicator.
First, ascertain the speed of the en-
CINE. Then. il you do not wish to
change its speed you will have to use
puIeys which will increase or dimin-
ish the speed OF your machine as you
wish.
This can be figured out by finding
how far a given point on the circum-
ference OF the engine pulley will travel
In q minute and from this basis ascer-
tain the sizes Of the wheels needed
along the line by dividing the length
of their circumference into the dis
lance Travelled by a given point on
the preceding wheel.
This division is necessary except the
pulleyS on the line shaft where they
all make an equal umbe of ~rcvOlu-
tons, whether large or small.
