sage from the cup to the cylinder.
Another great difficulty is the start
ing of engines during cold weather.
Water-cooled engines can be more cas-
lily started by closing the drain in the
bottom of the cooling jacket and pour
ing in about two pals Of warm wa.
ter. The last pail Of water should be
very warm but not to the boiling point,
as radically sudden expansion might
result in cracking the cylinder. The
increased warmth of the cylinder will
result in a quick ignition Of the
charge.
Another simple plan used in case Of
either air or water-cooled engines Is to
open the intake or exhaust valve and
then inject a small amount of gasoline
into the cylinder. Allow the engine to
stand for a few minutes SO that the
gasoline may evaporate, then crank it
and it will usually start on the first
trial.

carefully looked after. The spreader
should be cleaned out after being
used, or some of the soft manure will
freeze in the box drum and a break
down may result.
An occasional coat of paint is an
other great preservative which con-
siderably lengthens the serviceable
use Of the farm machines. A small
stove can be installed in the work
shop during cold weather and the va
rious implements can be painted in
the shop with good results.
Speciar attention should be paid to
the same and storage of farm steam
engines during cold weather. No oil
or grease should be left in the cups to
CONCEAL or harden. Resting in the
stuff1ng boxes should be prevented by
cleaning out and replacing the old
packing. On large engines the scale
should be removed from the interior
of the boiler while the exterior should
receive a coat of asphalt paint. Dur
ing the cold months never leave water
overnight in boiler or water jacket OF
the engine, or it will freeze and prob
ably burst these parts.
Winter Care of Gasoline Engine.
The inexperienced operator meets
with many difficulties in handling gas
oline engines during severe winter
weather. The first essential OF the
gasoline equipment, year in and year
out, is good, strong, concrete founda-
ton. Where use of concrete is i'm
possible, the engine should be Sc
curely bolted to heavy timbers fas-
tened to the floor. They should be OF
suffi cient size to absorb all violent vi
bration. A secure foundation IN
creases the floor bearing of the en-
CINE and secures greater rigidity.
The engine should never be run
faster than it's specified speed, as 9TH
erwise the operator is merely wasting
the power of the machine without OBJ
tanning the most efficient results. care
should also be exercised in betting the
engine to a piece of machinery to use
the correct size pulleys, so otner-
wise energy which the engine gene
rates will be wasted.
In starting a new engine the valves
are sometimes gummed to such an ex-
tent that they will not entirely close.
This reduces the amount of the COM
preston of the engine. In other in
stances the valves stick so that the
compression is wholly lost. The rem
edy is to squirt a little gasoline or
kerosene on the valve stems and clean
off the sticky Oil. Compression is
also lost due to lack of lubr1cat1ng
oil on the piston and cylinder walls.
To correct this difficulty the operator
should turn the f1ywheel over until the
piston is drawn out of the cylinder and
then cover the projecting portion with
a liberal coating of lubricating oil. The
oil will act as seal.
In general the operator should use
Judgment and common sense as re-
CARDS the amount of work an engine
should do. One cannot abuse gas
engine without disastrous results. Good
lubricating oil should be used in the
engine, and care should be observed to
see that the oil cups are kept free and

The District Probers.

to make this inquiry complete EXPOSE
ton Of local conditions. There may be
some who are even too eager to give in
formation. and it is to be expected that
the committee will exercise due care to
sift truth from imagination, and to secure
facts from the fountainheads. There is
no haste. The committee can sit for
months, and will doubtless find 1t desr-
able to proceed cautiously and deliber-
ately, to avoid the pitfalls that lie in the
way of unwary investigators. The mat
tiers chiefly held in view as desirable OBJ
jects of inquiry are all of public record,
but care is always necessary in interpret
ing financial statistics. Fortunately, the
local audit has always been in federal
hands, and the most secure safeguards
against illegality and improperly of ad-
ministration and expenditure have been
thrown about all the local transactions
since the enactment of the organic law
of 1878. SO that the committee will find no
lack of the most authentic information.

Mckinley and Taft.

At Buffalo, ten years ago. in what
proved to be his last speech, Mr.. Mckin-
ley declared on the subject of the tariff
that the day OF exclusiveness had passed.
He urged reciprocity with other nations
as the landmark of protection. He was
satisfied that in some directions protec-
ton had done its full work and that in
taose directions the policy should cease
10 operate. In other directions, however,
and wherever it still was needed. he
favored its continuance. The deliverance
was remarkably clear, and had Mr.. Nc
kinley lived would have led TO some early
important results. The Dingley law, then
four years Old and a most successful
piece of legislation. would have been
modified to suit the new conditions 1t
had brought about.
At Providence last night Mr.. Taft spoke
in a similar strain. He declared, not
against protection policy, but against
the abuse of the policy. A Chinese wall.
lie said. was nowhere needed. He made
il plain however. that protection, proper
iy applied. had a good friend In him and
nothing whatever to fear from him.
AS The Star has stated on more than
one occasion, the present tariff situation
with its embarrassments to the repub-
lean party-is the result of delay. What
Mr.. Mckinley proposed at Buffalo should
promptly have been carried out; and had
Mr. Taft succeeded him in the White
House we probably should have seen that
done The Taft program is the Mckinley
program, and entitled to as cordial sup
port as would have been given to the
Mckinley program had its author been
~ m
sage 10 Congress. That is to say, the
pact with Canada is in the spirit of Mr.
Mckinleys suggestion, and should be so
accepted by those who in his day were
supporters OF the great apostle OF protec-
tion-in some particulars the greatest
apostle OF his generation.
AS for what is to follow reciprocity in
the way OF tariff legislation, the Presi-
dent is said not 10 be worrying. Why
should he worry? He has not yet reach
ed that bridge. And the structure is not
yet erected If republican presidential
politics is involved, so also is democratic
presidential politics. The anti-Taft repub-
Leans are no more anxious to put the
President in hole than are the anti
Clark democrats TO put the Speaker in
one. II is the day OF scheming and nego-
tiation. with all the resources of the
jugCer's art in full use. Things are not
what they seem, and some men of fuency
and with rich yocabularieS are talking
through their hats.
This much only is certain Whether
Congress does much or little with the
tariff whether at the regular session it
does much or little, the tariff will be a
prominent and may be the paramount, is
sue in the coming presidential campaign.
and the old issue as TO whether protec-
ton is or is not a benefit TO the country,
discussed from every stump. Veteran
spellbinders with rusty speeches in their
desks would do we'll to freshen them up
a bit. while fiedgelngs should be max
