PLEASURE MACHINES
NOT MADE FOR USE
LIKE HEAVY TRUCKS
Automobiles Carry Lighter
Loads at Higher Speeds.
Get Better Use and Care.

1t has been said that the pleasure car
motor would not do for truck work and
vice versa. the difference in the work
done requiring different, constructions.
A Measure car motor is carrying a
lighter machine at higher speeds. works
on pneumatic tires and is generally
handled carefully either by owner or
chauffeur.
A motor truck carries a heavy load
at medium speeds over less favorable
roads and on hard tires. The pleasure
car motor operates at the whim OF It's
owner, and for perhaps an hour or so
a day average. At the same time II
must be able to do touring work by
the day without trouble.
Differ In Operation.
The motor truck motor operates eight
to twenty-four hours in the day, is
taken care of in its small rest period If
tended to at all, and works six days q
week on q steady grind. There are no
interims during which a driver can
Sghten parts or tend to details. These
must be right in the first place and not
come loose if the truck is to make good.
Not operating intermittenuy like the
pleasure vehicle, the motor truck works
on schedule. Not all trucks run this way
but every truck sent out from a factory
must be capable of doing it in the two
foot snow of Minnesota in winter. or
at 100 in the shade in summer.
Thus on the surface of the conditions
tire widely different. The motor must
be as different IS the conditions.
A closer look takes into account the

motor runs the vehicle faster, the rate
of revolutions at maximum speed is no

bigger load. the leverage on the rear

Service Comparisons.
The service idea looks more formida-
bic as comparison. where one motor

touring car motor is used less and in
common service at city speeds runs
at slower speed, so that the wear on

Washington Furnishes Prize Summer Fish Story

EISH stories may go and fish stories

Said fish was right in the midst Of

for supremacy ensued and man was

Five harpoons and 151 bullets were
required to subdue the monster, and it
took five days to kill 1t. Before it
was under control 1t smashed a boat
into thousands of pieces and knocked
the rudder and propeller off a 31-ton
yacht. The crew was towed around
the ocean for 80 hours by the monster
at speed of about As miles an hour.

SUMMER CARE OF THE EGGS
Practice Of Holding Product for High
er Market Price In Autumn Re-
suits In Serious Loss.

By N. E. CHAPMAN, Extension Poultry
Specialist. University Farm, st. Paul.
Minn.)
In the summer months, eggs should
receive the same care and considera'
ton as sweet milk and cream, and be
marketed daily, if possible. They
should not be exposed to draughts OF
warm air, and should be protected
from the rays Of the sun and from
moisture, in handling, marketing and
shipping. The common practice OF
holding eggs for higher market price
in autumn results in poor quality and
serious loss instead Of gain. Under
ordinary farm conditions, eggs should
never be held. The farmer, however,
is not the only one responsible for the
shrunken eggs on the market. Coun-
try merchants have been equally
blamable for the annual loss.
A fresh egg will absorb odors as
readily as fresh milk. Mustiness or
moldy growth in egg cases or filters
will taint the egg and lower its quail
ity.
Eggs should not be stored in musty
cellars, or in rooms with fruit, vege
tables or fish.
The flock should never be allowed
to drink filthy water, be fed musty
grains or strong-favored vegetables
as onions and garlic, or given access
to decaying meat or substances that
will flavor the product and impair itI
quality.

horseless plows, horseless reapers,
horseless whatnots are in our indus
trial midst in surprising numbers, still
our old, time-honored friends-the
horse, the mule, the ass, and the burro
loom larger than they ever have be-
fore in our national life.
Let us consider these facts which
have been extracted from a recent
number of the Crop Reporter, that
publication of much espteric interest,
issued "by authority Of the secretary
of agriculture: On January i, 1918,
the total number Of horses on farms
and ranges in the United States was
2O,567,0 900, valued at $110.77 per head.
with an aggregate value of $2,278, ,222,-
900. Compared with January 1, 1912,
horses had increased $4,000; mules
increased $4,000; milch cows decreased
100000; other cattle decreased $780,.
900; sheep decreased 8S0,O0O; swine
decreased 4,232 900.
Without pausing here to discuss
what bearing this decrease during the
year 1912, in the numbers of cattle,
sheep, and swine, may have on the
future of these useful quadrupeds, we
will just say that so far as is indicated
by those impartial records-the Unit
ed States census reports-neither the
horse, the mule, the ass, nor the burro
has ever suffered any such setback.
