Motoring Department, The Herald
Upon seeing your articles regarding
motor car troubles I would like to ask
your advice regarding my car. The
car runs perfectly on first speed in
second with little miss and back fire,
and on high with series of back fir
ing upon the action OF the acceIeratOF.
The carburetOr has a needle valve on
top and an air intake extending from
the right hand side. VIII you kindly
give me a cause and a remedy. J.
Finnery.
1t is evident that the carburetor is
not properly adjusted. The mixture is
too lean. This can be remedied by al
lowing a greater flow of gasoline
through the spray nozzle. or possibly
by reducing the amount of air. 1t will
be necessary to adjust both more or
less until the best results are obtained.
Of course, you want to use as much air
and as little gasoline as possible.

Il the country, in Iessening their
receipts from passenger traffic. it has
benefited them greatly by opening up
hitherto undeveloped territories and
thus increasing freight traffic" said
W. E Barnes of the S. P railroad, in a
recent discussion. 4 have lately had
called TO my attention statements made
by Newman Erb president of the Min
Reapolis and St Louis railroad, and one
Of the keenest financial men in the
country, in which the automobile was
given due credit for the good it has
accomplished. Mr.. Erb declared that
two billion dollars was a conservative
estimate of the increased value of farm
lands due directly to the automobile
"A few years ago. farm lands which
were located near the railroads We're
worth about ST5 an acre, where the
land 20 mics back could hardlyq be
sold at $40 an acre. With the intro
duction of the automobile, however,
the latter land was brought within
few minutes run of the railroads and

its value has increased tremendously
because of this fact The farmer who
owns an automobile and lives 20 miles
from a shipping point is today as close
to the markets of the world as is the
man who only has horses and wa

or four miles of the railroad The au-

Besides eliminating distance as it
has. the automobile has worked ire

demanding good roads. 1t is universal
" acknowledged that good highways
mean increased prosperity for the far
mer, and wherever automobiles are
owned there will good roads be found
as soon as they can be built Many
short sighted people have claimed that
the purchase of an automobile by
farmer is an extravaganza. I main

It is important that the crank case
be cleaned frequently When the oil is
used over and over, in time it loses its
lubricatlng qualities There is more
or less sediment bound to accumulate
IN the bottom of the crank case and
TINS should be removed: otherwise the
on viii form a gum on various fric-
ton surfaces. such as the valve guides,
etc. When this takes place the valves
are apt to stick OCCASIONALLY causing
irregular firing. It is advisable to
change the oil and clean out the crank
case approximately every 1900 miles.
A few drops Of water in the gaso-
line VIII cause considerable annoy
ance- At the bottom of the float cham
Der of the carburetor there is usually
a drain cock. When a car has been
standing for some time it is advisable
to open this drain so that any sedi-
ment or water in the bottom of the
wise 1t is apt to work up into the spray
nozzle and clog it. A small piece of
lint or few drops of water Will
cause the motor to miss fire very badly
The connections. on dry cells should
always be kept tight. Any one con-
be loose will cause difficult starting.
The vibration of the car is very apt TO
Loosen these and frequent inspection
viii oftentimes save a lot of work in
cranklng the motor
Care should be taken TO keep the
metal Careless placing of the tools
will cause short circuits. The batter
les should be installed in a dry place
and held in a firm position. 1t is ad-
ylsable to cover them with an insu-
latOr, such as a sheet of fiber and a
padding, to prevent chatting.
If one has the room it is a good
plan to carry a quantity of lubricating
oil when touring. Most every garage
carries in stock a different make of
OIL To mix these various grades is
not advisable. A can of lUbricating oil
does not take up much room and will
oftentimes save considerable delay on
account of motor troubles Usually a
standard grade of oil can be obtained
at the larger garages In smaller
places, however, it is difficult to OBJ
tain a choice of brands.
x
Among the necessaries. when touring
should be a supply of tire valves and
caps. A slight leak in a valve will
cause as much delay as a blowout A
good valve is often hard to obtain
when on the road, and considerable
annoyance acn be avoided by carrying
these accessories. A valve tap and dye
should also be added.

Would you kindly give your opinion on
the following: 1 had my engine all
overhauled this spring. The garage
man installed Wristpins and also brass
bushings which formerly were not
there. Something went wrong with
the Oiling system,and the bearings
were more or less damaged. On taking
off the cylinders we found they
were badly scored by the wristpins or
the bushings. The garage man claims
this was because the car ran without
oil If the wristpins and the bushings
had been properly put in and secured,
would they have worked loose simply
because the Oiling system did not
work right-C. N
When the OilinE system goes wrong
any amount of damage can take place.
It is safe to say that the scored cylin-
ders resulted from lack of proper lubri-
cation From what you state it ap-
pears that the wristpin bushfngs are
pressed in the piston. These pins have
a wristlike motion. which if properly
fabricated should work freely in the
bushings and not in any way injure the
cylinder walls If there was not proper
lu IRRIGATION the pin would seize in the
bUshing' and have a tendency to loosen |
in the piston In such case a Slight !

FARMER IS KILLED FOR DEER
Northern Minnesotan Is Mistaken for
Wounded Animal.


Frank Green, a resident Of the Hart
ley location, near Chisholm, shot and
killed John Haulala, farmer, mis-
taking him for a deer. The accident
occurred near Sherwood
Shortly before the shooting Green
had wounded deer and was trailing
it when he noticed a movement in the
brush which he believed to be the
wounded animal. He shot and Haulala
fell, pierced through the shoulder.
Raymond Maturi, a farmer living in
the vicinity, aided Green in removing
the victim to hospital at Hibbing,
where he died. At the time of the
shooting Haulala wore gray cap.
This undoubtedly cost him his life.
