Some Gasoline Engine Diseases and
Their Remedies.

When gasoline engine that is
known 10 have carried load re-
fuses to do so again we should not
condemn the machine as a whole but
should understand that probably one
small thing is out OF order. and we
should search for and repair this
trouble. The best general treatment
for the diseases Of the gasoline en-
ginc is to make free use OF the pro-
verbal ounce OF prevention in the
form OF gasoline. good cylinder oil.
good battery, a good wiping rag.
and Il frequent and close inspection

South Carolina has no law regulating
the quality OF gasoline offered for
sale. and the farmer must sometimes
accept inferior gasoline or do with

do not vaporizc easily, especially in
cold weather.. Pouring hot water on
the carburctor will help to get the
engine started in case there is this
trouble. and the heat from the en-
%inc itself will usually vaporizc the
gasoline after the engine warns up.
Care should be exercised in apply
ing hot water, not 10 get water into

II gasoline contains water it may
be removed by Straining through Il
piece Of very fine wire Cloth, or
through a piece OF chamois skin.
Regarding cylinder oil: On ac-
count al the very high temperature
OF the interior OF the gasoline engine
cylinder a special oil, having a high
burning point, should be used in the
cylinder. Ordinary machine oil or
steam engine cylinder oil should
never be used, as the heat Of the
gasoline engine cylinder chars these
oils and covers everything inside the
cylinder with deposit Of carbon
that soon prevents contact in the
Sparkcr and stops ignition.
The writer has observed the case
OF one gasoline engine which was in
excellent condition, being discarded
by the operator on the ground that
1t could not be depended upon, when
the only trouble was that the opera
tor, despite repeated advice to the

CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK :,
Fodder Pulling.

The fodder pulling season Of South
Carolina Is near at hand. This Is a
farm practice which has been
costly one to the farmers OF this
State for many generations, but some
OF the more progressive individuals
OF our various communities are be-
ginning to appreciate the drawbacks
OF this expensive operation, and are
using better rough feeds in its stead.
The chief arguments made by most
farmers for the continuance OF this
practice Is mat fodder comes in AT a
time Of the year when roughagc is
scarce, that it is a feed which is cas-
lily handled during the feeding pc
riod, and one which is relishcd by
all horses and mules. Grant that the
above reasons are good Oncs--wiil
they offset the following facts which
have been carefully worked out at
tions? First Of all. fodder pulling
reduces the yield Of Shcllcd corn
per acre. The Florida experiment
station reports the smallest loss Of
per acre. The Mississippi station re-
ports the greatest loss, which was s
bushels per acre. The other stations
reporting gave losses ranging be-
tween the above weights. the aver
age being six bushels for all the
Southern States reporting. At the
same time the average yield Of fod-
der per acre was 440 pounds. With
the average price OF corn at 81 per
buShcl and fodder at Sl.25 per hun
dred pounds, and assuming that the
above weights are representative Of
any given farm, the man who pulls
fodder loses fifty cents per acre i'm
addition to the cost and pleasure OF
pulling it.
While corn fodder may be palat-
able feed it has a poor feeding value
when compared with other forms Of
hay, which can be easily grown in
South Carolina, such as cowpcas, oat
and vetch hay. These two crops can
be grown and harvested for about
50 per acre each, and on average
land each should give about one ton
OF good hay per acre, which is worth
ut least $50 per ton. Both Of these
crops have high feeding value. so
ii those farmers who practice fodder
pulling would discontinue It and
plant oats, one bushel and a half,
and vctch One-fourth bushel in the
fall, harvesting it in May, followed
by cowpcas, they would make more
rough feed per acre, which would
have a higher feeding value than
fodder, and would, not decrease their
corn yields from to s bushels per
acre, and at the same time they
would be growing two leguminous
crops on their land each year. there
by increasing the fertility Of their
soil. J. VI. Napier,
Assistant Professor OF Agronomy.

TEA CHEERS SUMMER StIIOnI.
Effort Being Made to Encourage
Reading and Spelling.

Seneca, July Special: The
County Board Of Education is very
anxious to encourage good reading
among the teachers Of the county
At the summer school in Westmin-
slcr two years ago reading was
taught. This year +, r,tding is being
taught, and, through J. p. Stribling,
member OF the county board. the
Westminster Bank has offered il
medal to the best reader in the
school. This contest will be decided
on the last day Of the school in a
public reading contest.
AS reading is being taught with
so much success, 1t was also decided
to add spelling in order to encourage
good spelling in the schools Of the
county. Daily records arc being
kept, so at the end Of the school the
one having the best record will be
awarded the medal. In case there
are several that make perfect rec
ords in spelling they will be required
to spell against each other to decide
Seneca. will give the medal for the
hest spcllcr.
1t has also been decided to have
an old-timr spelling bee just to ell
courage oral spelling. All that can
DC done is being done to encourage
the teachers and to show them that
we want better schools.
There are SIS tcachcr-pupils in
regular attendance at the institute,
and all are doing good work A
spirit OF work pcrvadcs the school
and all are determined to get every
thing there is to be gotten that is
helpful
Prof. lIaddon will teach agricul-
ture during the last two weeks Of
the summer school. We want the
farmers to come out to hear him.
for he is a practical teacher and lee
turcr. Since all the teachers are re-
quircd to teach agriculture in the
common schools we want to give
them every opportunity to get all
that is possible on that important
subject.

MANICURES FOR ANIMALS
Departments to Care for Nails and

Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa.-So as to keep the
nails OF the animals from the lion to
the monkey and the bills of the birds
from the eagle TO the canary in good
shape, a well-equipped manicuring and
dental establishment is maintained at
the geological gardens. The depart
ment Is under the supervision of Head
Keeper Manley, and it moves its
sphere of work from cage to cage in
the various houses, as the occasion de-
mands. Il is constantly at work
The tools employed by the mani
curists in connection with their labor
among the creatures differ materially
from the dainty utensils used by the
blonde Venus of the barber shop, and
consist of n hammer, a chisel, often
hatchet and saw, and always a large,
rugged file about IA inches long. A
sharp strong pair of steel wire nip
pers is also used on the nails OF the
larger cats.
The manicuring establishment at the
gardens was organized by Superin-
tendent Carson. Realizing that the
animals could not wear off their nails
on the boards of the cages as quickly
as they could on the rocks of their ma.
tive haunts. and that because of this
the claws frequently grew long, turned
and penetrated tho soft part of the
foot, Mr.. Carson decided that In order
TO alleviate the distress caused by in
growing nails these would have to be

INAUGURATION OF IRON AGE
Authorities Differ as to the Time and
Place Of Its First Introduction
to the World.

Some authorities incline TO the
view that the iron age was inaugur-
ated In Asia or in Africa The ihges-
tigations of recent years have pointed
10 the conclusion that IL was not
worked in Egypt until the ninth CEN
tury before Christ, or in Libya until
45O b. c.; that the Semitic adopted its
use still later. and that it has been
known in Uganda only within the
last Ave or six centuries. There are
Chinese records Of date about four
centuries before Christ that mention
iron. Bronze weapons were employed
In China until about 700 A. ID.
II is thought that the metallurgy or
iron must have originated in Central
Europe, especially in Noricum. which
approximately represented modern
Austria and Bavaria. Only at Hall
stett and in Bosnia and Transylvania,
from which countries the Achaians
and Dorians are supposed to have MI
grated to Hellas, are found evidences
of a gradual introduction of iron, at
first as an ornament applied to the
bronze which It ultimately replaced.
Everywhere else iron was introduced
in no gradual fashion, a fact that
implies a foreign origin.
Meteoric iron was known in Egypt
in remote antiquity. but no doubt IL
was worked as fiints are worked, by
cutting or chipping, and was not
smelted. In other words, II was the
metallurgy. not the knowledge of iron,
that originated in Central Europe.

DOCTOR FEELS HIS HANDICAP
Recognizes Distinct Limitations When
Called On to Cope With Modern
Scientific" Babe.

Because the doctor did not put on
his seven-league boots and start the
minute he heard there was a sick
child in the neighborhood, the woman
who had summoned him accused him
OF inhumanity. But the doctor pro-
tested that he was not inhuman.

You as good as told me so yourself.
You said the youngster was a scien-
tiflcally reared baby; never knew
kiss or cuddle or a germ or a
tummyache until the present attack.
Scientific babies are the despair of
old-fashioned practitioners. The kinds
of babies he is used 10 are those that
depend mostly upon mothering TO
make them well. If an old-fashioned
baby bumps his head or stubs his
toe or mashes his thumb. just let
mother kiss the bruise and IL Will
stop hurting. Having been brought
up on such nonsensical notions and
believing In them still TO a certain
extent. there is no denying that In
treating the new-style baby the old
doctor is not great success
