The Making of the Car.

Harold Whiting Slauson, in Harper's Weekly.
The tendency of modern design is to
conceal as great a number Of the work
ing parts as is possible, and in looking
at many a motor the layrnan might see
only a one or two piece iron casting
having but very few visible moving
pieces; but IL he drives a car or Is at
all familiar with its construction he
viii know that, hidden in the inner re-
cesses of the machine, are pistons for
harnessing the explosions, connecting
rods for transmitting the power to the
crank shaft, and valves for controlling
the admission and election Of the gases.
Some OF these parts, such as pistons.
cylinder castings, and the crank case.
are comparatively large. and 1t is con-
sequently difficult to realize that there
are approximately ! 500 separate pieces
in a modern automobile motor; but this
number includes parts of the magnetic
and carbureter. as these are vital mem
bers of the power-plant. or course,
some of these 1900 distinct pieces are
in duplicate, such as valve stems. bolts,
nuts, and connecting rods, but the large
majority must be fitted separately. and
each part requires individual attention
And not only does each piece need to
be handled separately, but some parts
require several operations before they
are made OF the proper shape, size, and
quality to I'LL their places in the COM
pleted whole.

An 1904 Dollar I'm Circulation.

Somewhere in Chicago a silver dollar,
valued by numismaIsts at $50 is waiting
to be recognized. 1t was stolen recently
from the collection Of Charles E. Rogers
by workmen, who, Mr.. Rogers has rea-
son to believe, had no idea of its real
worth.
The dollar is of the issue of 1904. In
numismatIc circles II ranks about as
does the Mona Lisa" among artists.
IT had some decorating DONE" said Mr..
Rogers, land there were a lot of men
running in and out. The COIN was in a
small chest in the dining-room. I'm
afraid some ignorant workman grabbed
it, went out, and boughtSa drink with 1t.
If so. it may now be in general circula-
tion."

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Success With Poultry.

It is always seasonable to Gull out the
undesirable birds from a flock. All
hens that have passed their term Of
usefulness should be marketed. While
culling should be continued throughout
the entire year. the most heroic work
should be done In the fall What we
call yearHngs in poultry are those
which were hatched the year before
the pullets. They are nearer two years
old than one and make excellent breed
ers. After breeding pick out Of this
flock such as are considered unprofit-
able. What we call the two-year-olds
are the ones that are going into their
second mott. Very often some excel
lent layers are found among these, and
It pays to keep such, but at that age
the closer we Gull the better will be
our profits. This culling, however, can
only be successful by close watching.
No matter how valuable hen may be,
If she proves to be feather puller or
an egg eater she, too, should be sent
with the lot of culls to market.-Boyer

Club, with the idea of making the fair
a permanent and substantial event
for the city.
For many years an Indian fair has
been conducted in Toppenish1 but it
has always been made a private en-
terprise. The club proposes that it
shall become public event, that good
grounds shall be secured, substantial
places arranged for exhibition OF
products of the Indians farms and
for display of their handiwork.

Olympia.-One result of the new

cally wipe out tramp steamers and

Regulation of steamboats, is one
of the hardest things the commission

is a hard question to determine what
course will be the best for the
greater number of the public.
"For instance, companies on reg
ular run have a regular schedule OF
trips and advertise tariff.
ga tramp of jobbing line will file a
schedule making a lower rate. But
when freight is offered to the second
man he has no regular run and will
refuse it. He will wait until some

lower rate he will grab the business
from the regular DOaL. IulS Is HALL

this situation by requiring that boat

between specified points, to file also
a schedule of trips for that they may
be forced to take any freight that
may be offered rather than to refuse
what they please and take only the
freight that pays them best"

There are many things to be said in

would require much time and space.

A good way to break a puller is to
rig up rope halter Of three-quarter
inch new rope. with loop under the
jaw. so that the loop will draw around
his nose. fasten him to stout post

nose should be wrapped with cloth to
prevent abrasion of the skin. When

will give over.
