there is but little need Of ever touching
the spark lever once II Is set, the ad-
vance being nearly automatic. But con-
siderable care should be exercised In
finding the point at which II should be
set. -.. .-
A too-early spark will cause pounding
and a too-late spark overheating and the
consequent loss Of power, so the question
Is to find the happy medium. Once this
point is found-and tfis can only be done
by experimentIng-many mark the spot
on the quadrant. In case of doubt II is
always better to have too late spark
than too early a one. 30 -
For extreme speeds the spark plays as
much part in. getting the speed out OF
car as does the amount of gas fed to
the cylinders through the carbureter.
There is saying among the trade which
expresses the functions of the gas and
spark ccntrol-"gas for power and spark
for speed"
Smooth Change of Speed.
Opening the throttle is like using the
whip on house when you want him to
travel faster. A man driving a horse
does not want the horse to suddenly go
from a walk into a fast trot. for the
change of motion is too sudden and jerks
him. 1t is the same way with opening
the throttle Of an automobile engine. 1t
should be done gradually. to insure a
smooth, even change of speed. and at
the same time save the car from any
undue strain.
A better mixture will be admitted to
the firing chambers II the operation Is
GRADUAL. The air and gasoline vapor are
given better opportunity to properly
mix in the carbureter.
. Operating the clutch so that it takes
hold smoothly and easily and does not
grab can only be done by letting it IN
gradually. In shifting from one speed
to another, the operation must be per-
formed quickly to insure no loss Of mo-
mentum, and at the same time the motor
should be throttled down to prevent It
racing when running idle.
Experienced drivers when changing
from one gear to another aim to have
their motor and car running at the same
rate Of speed, or as near together as
possible. This insures the best results,
apd the shifting OF gears in this case
can "e done without the grating noise
one so frequently hears when gears are
shifted
There is no necessity OF trying to force
gear in mesh. ALI transmissions are
so constructed that the gears mesh per-
fectly, and II requires but a slight move
ment OF the hand to release one gear
and engage another. II they are not in
mesh, all the pulling and tugging in the
world will not mesh them. Instead, II
will champ on or burr the end. so that
in time It will be impossible to engage
them.

"The Rexall Stere"
From the City to the Farm

The cry OF the land hungry is
heard everywhere. During the
last few years desirable farm
land has increased in value so
! enormously that the man of
small means finds it more and
more difficult to secure a home.
The congestion of population
IN our large cities already furnish
eS an economic and social prob
lem of serious import.
Recognizing its obvious duty to
create additional opportunities
/ for hOmeSeekers, the Federal Gov.
ernment through its Reclamation
Service at Washington, for sew
eral years has been expending
millions of dollars in the con-
structiOn Of irrigation works to
reclaim vast areas of the arid
West, much of which is yet. the
public domain. On several of
the large projects the water is
now. ready for the land, and set
tiers from all parts of the world
are establishing their homes on
the reclaimed farms. Under the
provisions of the law the land it.
self costs the settler only a small
filing fee. He is required, how
ever, to reside upon his farm, and
to repay to the Government in
ten years, without interest. the
cost of reclamation. A small adj
ditiOnal charge is made for the
annual maintenance and opera
tiOn of the irrigation system.
As a result of the activities of
the Reclamation Bureau, 1900,
farms are now being watered,
and a million acres are being put
In crops.
One of the most hopeful signs
in connection with the deserts
reclamation is the surprisingly
large number of people who have
left the cities and towns to take
up these farms, and who have
made good" Notwithstanding,
al lack of knowledge of farming
and a total unfamiliarity with
conditions in an irrigated country
the percentage of failures is very
small. The question Cana mer-
chant, mechanic, lawyer, doctor
or men of other professions, sue
ceed as farmers in the West?"
has been answered. Given good
health, a small capital to make a
start, and a willingness to work
hard, and the answer in most
cases is Yes"
The exodus to the West shows
no diminutiOn as the years go
by. On the contrary the move
ment of settlers this spring prom
ises to be the greatest within
several years.
The StatiStician of the United
States Reclamation = Service at
Washington, D. c., upon request,
is sending out literature giving
full information concerning local
tiles in which the Government
farms are now ready for settlers.
