AS to what the United States will do
with Huerta when it gets him, it is
impossible to predict; but as things
stand now the United States will GER
tainly get him unless some Mexican
gets him first. The elimination of HUI

save lots of trouble.

NO DRIVING SEASONS.
Auto Riding as Enjoyable in Fall
and Winter as During Sum-
mer Months.
EXTRA CARE IS NECESSARY
During Extremely Cold Weather Radi-
ator Must Not Be Left UnduIy Elk
posed-Lubrication and Cool
ing Systems Also Need to
Be Watched.

With the present DAY OeVeloplHenI
OF the automobile, there is no longer
a question of driving seasons for the
motorists to ponder over. Several
years ago the average automobile
owner would look for safety of ga
rage for his car over the winter
months, just as soon as the first snow
began to fly. Now, however, it is the
exception rather than the rule for
car to be put in dead" storage at any
time of the year, and thousands OF mo-
torists in this country take particular
delight in touring over roads during
the fall and winter months. There is
a strange fascination to winter driving
in the suburbs that holds number OF
car owners in its spell.
With the increased use of cars dur
ing the winter there has developed q
tendency on the part of number OF
owners to neglect the care Of GER
tain parts of their cars. One of the
most frequent difficulties encountered
by the winter motorist Is brought
about by neglecting to take care OF
the fabrication and cooling systems
of his car. 1t is not unusual to see
the car standing unattended and with
its radiator entirely exposed to the
cold winter blasts. If car is left In
this state for lengthy period its driv-
er is certain to have trouble in start
ing the motor, and occasionally too
lengthy period of exposure develops
serious expensive damage. The safest
way to avoid trouble of this nature Is
to use an anti-freezing mixture in the
radiator Perhaps the most simple
freezing is a two to one solution of
alcohol and water. By filling the radi-
ator with such a mixture the motor
will be safe from freezing on even
the coolest days. A lighter grade of
cylinder oil might be used to good ef-
feet during the winter. An owner is
apt to neglect to lubricate the small
parts of his car during this time of
the year Instead of paying the same
attention in this direction as he would
in the summer.
Another remedy, and very effective,
is to equip your car with a dash-prim-
ing device. Just before attempting to
start the car. inject considerable gaso-
lire into the cylinder and thereby In
crease the possibilities of the mixture
firing quickly. These are but few
suggestions for the winter motorist,
but if they are followed much of the
annovances so often encountered will
be eliminated.

PROPER GROWTH OF ALFALFA
Select Productive, Well-Drained Soil,
Cultivate lntelIigentiy and Give
Annual Top Dress.

Alfalfa can be. grown successfully
where the owner of the farm selects
productive, naturally well-drained soil,
heavily lines, literally fertilizes with
PHOSPHORUS and potassium, intelli-
gently cultivates and prepares for an
ideal seed bed, carefully inoculates
with bacteria-infested soil, seeds at
the proper time with good seed, and,
last of all, annually top-dresses with a
mineral mixture of commercial fertil-
izer containing PHOSPHORUS and po-
tassium Thus, with due discretion
and judgment regarding the cutting,
curing, storing and feeding of the
crop, the farmer and his live stock will
not only be benefited by an increase in
dollars and cents, but also himself and
his family will take pleasure in admir-
ing throughout the entire season its
general beauty, and at the same time
he will be adding fertility to the soil.

HOW TO HAVE GOOD ORCHARD
Trees Should Be Set in Uniform Rows,
Far Enough Apart to Permit Gull
tivation and Fertilization.

Apple trees should be set 80 to 40
feet apart in uniform rows to facili-
tate cultivation. and keep well \culti-
waited and fortified, says writer in
the Progressive Farmer. Peach,
plum and pear trees 20 to 30 feet
apart A shovelful of wood ashes at
the root of each tree will keep insects
out of the roots, and are fine fertiliz-
ers. Peach trees can be set betwe IN
the apple trees in the rows and taken
out when the apple trees are to
IL years old and need the space. as
the peach is mainly short lived.
1 keep all my pillow land in winter
crops, crimson clover, rye, wheat and
vetch, oats and barley, ETC., to con-
serve the moisture and humus and
prevent washing the orchard.
It is useless to plant apple trees
near (one-eighth mile of cedar trees.
The cedar throws of spore that
falls on apple trees and produces rust
Plant orchards Nothing on farm
will pay better than fruit, if planted
and cared for right. Nothing is more
helpful to our families; nothing more
so for our pockets. 1t is not game OF
chance; If played right, it surely wins,
but is failure If neglected.
No one now expects to raise good
crops of corn, cane or cotton, except
on land we'll prepared, we'll fortified
and we'll cultivated. They usually
stick a fruit tree in the ground and
leave it to live or die as chance may
direct; cultivate only when they want
to raise another crop on the land. No
crop pays better for culture and care,
and fruit crops never pay in the long
run without intelligent care.

SCRATCHING POST FOR HOGS
Successful Plan Adopted by Maryland
Swine-Breeder--crud Petroleum
Is Fatal to All Vern,in.

If a hog knew how to tell his wants
he would demand a scratching post.
Such posts, in the opinion of many hog
growers, are not only a source of great
comfort to hogs-the picture of hog
or pig scratching himself and softly
granting his content is worth couple

mails of lice or scaly skin.
A successful Maryland hog grower
adopts this plan: Firmly plant hick-
DRY or oak post four inches in diameter
in the hog run. Coil a Manila rope
around the post as high as a hog stands
and staple it on securely. Then thor
oughly saturate the rope with crude
petroleum. and it becomes an ideal
scratching post for hogs and pigs.
They rub up against it continually,
and oil is fatal to vermin. Kerosene
can be used, but it evaporates too rap.

A leading stock raiser of Illinois
advises all yeslng men to get a

this farmer said:
Il believe the best results in agri-
culture will eventually be worked out
on small farms. On large farms, we
must work at arms length and cannot
do as well as we know how to do for
we must work through other men;
and the men who work on large farms
are not men who are brainy, shrewd

type. ! have had an idea lately-the

he will be doing well.

to be surest of all the necessities and
comforts of life, and safest from all
changes, panics, hard times and other
vicissitudes. In the farm home, chill
dren can be better bred, better fed and
better prepared for the struggle of
life.

CARING FOR VETERANS
PROPOSED ORGANIZATION HAS
MET WITH APPROVAL.
Idea Is to Give Help to Old Timers In
Automobile Field Who May
Be in Need.

Inc plan in Detroit for the forma-
ton Of benevolent society of veter-
ans of the automobile industry has
progressed. This organization will be
formed to keep track of the old timers
in the automobile business, and also
TO look after the interests of their
families in times of need. OF late
several old timers in the motor car
held have met with misfortunes, &C
c1dent, sickness and the like and in
their time of need have been in real
want. In other instances old timers
have dropped away, leaving their
families in dire straits.
1t is the idea of the men who have
evolved the general plan of the be-
neVoient society to maintain a CEN
trail office in Detroit, and temporary
headquarters of the organization have
been placed in charge of F. Ed Spoon
Ell S03 Free Press building, Detroit
England has an organization along
somewhat similar lines which is doing
a vast amount of good. There was
some talk of an organized body at the
time Pat Hussey of Cleveland, one of
the most prominent of the old timers,
became suddenly blind. This was
about two years ago and liberal spirits
in the automobile world raised a fund
so large for his relief that he will
live comfortably for the rest of his
days upon the income from the fund
This action of the few brought
thoughts of the probable results were
the entire field of veterans OF five
years or more standing in the field to
be banded together into one compact
body for mutual benefit, and that
thought has been uppermost in the
minds of many until it has finally crys-
tallized into definite form.
