HIS MISSION A SUCCESS.

The Midland aud Pacific procured
right of way free. secured free grants
for terminals and sidings. turnouts and
stations and also town sites. Legisla-
tive charters were granted and state
bonds voted. More thAn that. every
other form OF bond was also literally
bestowed County bonds. city bonds.
village bonds. township bonds, school
district bonds-in fact. every kind Of
bonds that could be issued were turn
ed over TO the Midland and Pacific and

bonds were issued ana sold 10 any per

LOOSE NUTS ON AUTOS.
Improper Tightening Chief Cause Of
Grip Slaekening.

Leaving locking devices out OF the
question for the time being. one OF the
commonest causes of nuts coming
loose is the fact that they have never
been properly tightened in the first
place. When II nut is put on Il bolt 1t
should always be made certain that
there is oil on the thread and also on
the face OF the nut. by this means the
power applied by the spanner tends
slightly to elongate the bolt, and this
puts an elastic pressure on the nut,
which is n great factor in preventing
its coming loose.
If, on the other hand. nut is put on
dry, much of the power applied by the
spanner Is absorbed 10y friction, and
little of IL goes to compress together
the parts that the bolt is intended to
unite.
Another point Is that n nut should he
frightened and slackened several times
before it is pulled up finally, as this
beds the thyead of the bolt against that
OF the nut and the face Of the latter
against its seat ltwill he found that
this will greatly prevent shock and ii
bratlon causing the nut TO come loose.
h A further point is that the ordinary
spanner Is far too short. and by means
of its leverage the average man cannot
apply the proper amount of force 10 n
nut This is especially the case where
nuts happen 70 be in positions where il
Is difficult for the operator to apply his
full strength,
II has been found that n piece of tube
nattened so that It slips over the han
die of the spanncr and thus increases
its effective length by about 30 per
cent Is n great assistance in putting
the final nip on nut that is so eff
fective In preventing its coming loose,
especially II the previously mentioned
precautions have been taken
1t will sometimes be found that one
particular nut and bolt in car will
persist in coming loose even after 1t
has been properly frightened. and the
reason is usually this: The car has
been run with the holt loose. and the
latter has thus been allowed 10 work

To apply 400 pounds of fertilizer
to an acre is to apply 2 and one
half pounds to the square rod, al
most a ridiculous amount. To ap-
ply 1000 pounds per acre is to
apply a little more than six
pounds to the rod; little enough,
is it not? In Europe men know

CATTLE SALES.

Cattle outfits are changing
hands these days at prices rang
ing all the way from $14 to $50

of cattle, location of range, how
badly scared the owner is about

purchaser wants to buy. While

the cat will jump" yet there
seems to be nothing in present
conditions or the outlook to war

or butcher stuff. If the passage
