The restraining order Of Judge Pol
lock permits the sale and use Of lower
gravity fuels, and those which are not

quires that they shall be used for

These grades Of gasoline can be
bought for at least two or three cents
a gallon less than those grades FORM
erly required by law. And they give
more power for each gallon used than
do the lighter, more refined oils.
This is because they weigh more to
the gallon and they give the same

The automobiles and stationary and
traction engines which use only -gas-
oline can now buy the heavier, moro
powerful grade from the Southwest
ern oil fields. It is cheaper than the
higher test more refined Pennsylvan-
ia gasoline they have had to buy in
the past. 1t vaporizes as rapidly and
works as satisfactor ~. at 8 the
same time, "a gallon Of it will last
longer. II
The owner Of stationary and trac-
ton engines which use kerosene can
now buy the 40 and 43o oil which Is
slightly off color. Or, they can buy
the illuminating oil dlstillates, testing
$50 to 400 which are yellowish in COL
or. These are several cents cheaper
than the lamp kerosene they have had
to buy in the past, and are every bit
as satisfactory.
This order Of court means saving
Of two or three cents on every gallon
Of fuel burned in a gas engine in the
state Of North Dakota. At flrst
glance they may not mean very much
But here are some facts that may
help one to realize what it does mean:
Last year the oil inspector collected
$40 ,323@ for inspecting oils sold in
the state. collecting charge Of -
cents barrel, or a half cent a gallon.
This means that IA Os4,e1s gallons Of
petroleum fuels were used in the
state in 1911 or. roughly speaking,
fourteen million gallons. Now, II all
this could have been bought By ths
consumer at cent a gallon less. It
would have meant a saving Of one
hundred and forty thousand dollars.
And il the saving had been two cents

total Of over two hundred and eighty

From Raising Jersey

e. Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)
sgQUITMAN, Ca. Feb. 17.-In view Of
the effort to induce farmers in this sec
tion to raise more cattle, the experience
OIL. H. BIalock, of Hickory Head, with
a Jersey herd is. enlightening as to the
value of this work. In 1906, Mr.. Blalock
started his herd with seven Jersey heif-
ers, bought from a neighbor for $500, all
of them in poor condition. Today his
herd represents a cash value of $3.50. 46
$4,34O.46.
In 1907 thoroughbred bull was bought
from the Biltmore farms and in that
year the expenses Of the herd were
made and two hetters sold for s90 In
1908 two more heifers were sold for a10
and 1922 pounds of butter were made
and sold from the herd. Summarizing
his business, Mr.. Blalock says his profit
has been: In 1908, a net profit of $527.6O;
in 1909 a net profit Of S761.9O; in 1910. a
net profit of $677.50; in 1911, a net profit
Of $500. Premiums taken in 1901, $500
OF this amount, s6O9.50 was for stock
sold, nor does this summary include
about 5000 gallons of milk per year for
pigs and calves. Since January, 1907, one
COW has made over $500 in butter,
brought four heifer calves and two
males, and has taken SIS in prizes Mr..
Blalock is also the first man to sell a
Jersey heifer bred in Brooks county
for 500. Today Mr.. Blalocl estimates
the value Of his herd as follows: Four
cows. $500; one bull, 5000; 16 heifers, $500;
net products of herd, $2,17S.S6; sales from
