and is kept hot by repeated explosions
when the engine is in operation. This
engine, like most internal combustion
types, works on the Otto four-stroke
cycle, the various events being car
ried out as follows:
During the suction stroke, air only
is admitted to the cylinder. The
liquid fuel is then injected in a spray
through small MOBILES. This fuel is
vaporized by the heat of the vapor-
izer and is mixed with the inert gases
which remained in the chamber from
the previous explosion stroke. On
the return stroke of the piston the air
is compressed, forced into the vapor-
izer and, mixing in the right proper.
ton with the fuel, is automatically
ignited. The working stroke and the
rejection of the burned gases take
place during the next forward and
return strokes of the piston.

due to the fact that petroleum oils

SOME HINTS ON HANDLING FARM FLOCKS

[Wm. A. Lippincott, Professor o
The prime requisites of farm hens
are early maturity, great vigor and
uniformity. Early maturity means
quick development and early laying.
Good constitutional vigor means the
ability to Withstand disease, to pro-
duce strong, husky chicks and to lay
the season through. Uniformity in
form and feather means that both the
dressed fowls and the eggs will sell
to better advantage. Anyone who has
marketed anything from a basket of
peaches to a carload of steers knows
that they bring more money when
they are all alike.
Fall is the time to make the flock.
The characteristics of the flock with
reference to early maturity, strength
and uniformity can all be greatly i'm
proved by little care and attention
now. The pullets are just coming
into laying. It is easy to pick out the
ones that have made the quick
growth. The pullets that lay first are
likely to lay most. Pick them out and
mark them carefully. Or better still
save them and sell the rest. The only
way to ever have good farm flock
is to develop the nerve necessary to
dispose of all poor or halfway poor
birds. There is lot more money in
a few top notchers than in great
tiocks of mediocre birds. 1t is only
the pullet that lays early in the fall
and clear up until moulting time the
next fall that should be tolerated on
the farm.
Hardness generally accompanies
early maturity but not always. Any

peaked about the head. narrow in the
