POINTERS FOR THE NoToRIsT.
How Tires Should Be Washed

TOW Tires OnOulo be WdSneQs
At this season of the year when
roads, in consequence of spring show
ers, are often muddy, most motor
cans are coming in for their share of
washing.
Washing tires and washing a car
are two different propositions, says
the Michelin tire expert. Water alone
should be used to wash tires and as
little of it as necessary. After every
run the envelope should be wiped
clean with a damp sponge or we'll
wrung cloth.
A common mistake made by motor
lists is to mix kerosene with water
This may be advisable when washing
the body of the car to remove mud
and dust from the varnish, but it
should never be done when washing
tires because kerosene eats rubber.
This fact can be readily proved by
immersing a small piece of rubber
in kerosene and allowing it to soak.
The rubber will soon swell and lose
its elasticity. The reason for this
is apparent. Kerosene IS rich in fat
ty properties which remain after the
evaporation of the gases. Every time
tire is washed with a kerosene mix
ture the rubber is deprived of none
of it's strength.
When washing tires it is best SIM
ply to dampen a sponge with clean
water, care being taken that the
sponge is not soaked and dripping.
Then wipe the tires dry with cloth
or handful OF waste.
This, and many other phases of the
tire question are fully covered in the

ers to import pure bred stock from
the north into the tick infested ne
gion. They have not cleared the en-
tire south country Of cattle tick, but
they have cleared part VOf it, and it
is only a question Of time and money
when the cattle tick will be banished
from the United States. The scien-
fists did that.
The farmers Of Canada are under
lasting obligations to Professor San
dens for the development Of what is
known as the Marquis wheat, which
has all the valuable qualities Of the
Red Fife, and is ten days earlier.
This means that the wheat region Of
Canada will be extended hundred
miles north of where wheat growing
was possible before. 1t will take
away from farmers the dread Of frost
which is perhaps one Of the greatest
menaces to the development Of wheat
culture in Canada. Professor San
ders never received cent from the
Canadian government for this, and
never will.
If it were not for the discoveries of
these scientists-men who are pure
ly book farmers" men who have no
financial interest and nothing but a
humanitarian interest in the results
in the hands of practical farmers,
farming would be a much less profit
able business than it is today. With
all these economic results, it is high
time that farmers ceased sneering at
book farming ."-Wallace's Farmer.
