Avoid the Car Tracks.

It is remarkable how few motor ists realize the danger of running their tires in the car tracks. It is true that a car runs easier, and the jolts to the mechanism are greatly reduced. But 1t is expensive comfort. There is no quicker way of running tires.
 The tread of a tire is the thickest part. because there the greatest wear takes place. The sides have a thin ner wall of rubber to protect the fabric Now when tire is run in the car tracks the wear is concentrat. ed on the side of the tread and the side walls.
 The constant contact of the tire and the inside surface of the rail causes abrasion or wearing away of the rub Der. The rail soon cuts through and ruins the tire. Car tracks must be avoided if full mileage is wanted.

LEAVE AIR IN T|RE|
Under. Initiation Can Cause More Trouble Than Almost Any
 thing Else.
DRIVERS HAVE WRONG IDEA
Fear Of Damage From Gases 10 Not We'll Founded-rire Can Stand a Great Deal of Pressure With out Any Damage Be-
 ing Done.

Don't make the mistake of under infiating your tires in the summer. The proper inf.,tion is marked on the side of nearly every tire. and car owners should keep their tires to this Imitation religiously, since there is no danger more real and destructive to automobile castings than that of under Imitation.
 Gases expand under heat. and it is because they know this that many motorists let air out of their tires in hot weather. But the amount of air in an automobile tire is so small that if the temperature is raised from 90 to 12O degrees the increase in pres sure is no more than three or four pounds. Every tire is able to with stand 175 to 200 pounds of pressure without danger of injury unless 1t is very old and tattered. An increase of three or four or even ten pounds of pressure can never do the harm that under-iniation can.
 A tire that has had air let out of it because the driver is afraid the not weather VIII cause u tO Dufst will give out before one that has been kept pumped up to the standard pressure. Instead of causing the tire to heat less, as many suppose. the use of an under-infiated tire causes it to heat very quickly. Feel your tires some time after a long run. You may be surprised to find that you can scarcely keep your hand on them. The reason is this: Let tire bulge where it touches the ground and as the wheel revolves the bulge is pushed around the tire. Propel the car faster and the bulge travels faster, and heat is not only developed. but the plies of fabric which constitute the strength of the tire are separated.
 You might just as we'll take knife and deliberately cut your tires as run them under-inflated. The man that wants security, safety and low upkeep expenses keeps away from under-in- Hated tires, even though they do ride easier

Germany Has Tire Problem.

A prize of $25,000 has been offered by the German government for a sat. isfactory process of regenerating rub Der. It is not merely a retaining process that is desired. but a real re- generating process. The resiliency of the original rubber must be regained to an extent of at least 90 per cent in order to make the process eligible for competition. The tire problem is be- ginning to worry the army author. ities, and negotiations are said to be pending with the manufacturer of . well-known fiber tire, of the tension type. which is expected to solve the difficulty of obtaining rubber for pneu- matics in sufficient quantity for army needs.

TO TEST THE TIRES
ONE WAY OF DISCOVERING THEIR
 CONDITION.
Travel Over Bad Road Will Do tho Work # No Pressure Gauge 10
 Handy.

Time was when every tire manufac- turer warned all and sundry to infiate their tires to high degree of pres sure. and more probably than not this was due to the fact that in those days all pumping was done by hand and with very inefficient implements into the bargain.
 The correct thing to do nowadays. of course. is to consult a standard table of requisite pressures, according to the size of the tire and the load to be carried. and to use this in con junction with a reliable gauge. But there is also rough and ready meth cd which is by no means indetermin- ate if no pressure gauge is handy. and that is to take the car onto . dry road which is in a had state of re- pair and full of holes. Preferably there should be no passengers on the rear seats. If the driving wheels are pumped up too hard the driver will

clean. pure water always at hand, day and night; they drink but little at time. yet often. and if it is not always accessible, they will not get as much as is required for normal development
 Anything that can be done to in crease the comfort of the pigs will. as a matter of course. add to the gain and profit in feeding.
 Good care of pigs means good breed. ing. good feeding. constant watchful- ness, more labor. closer attention to little details. and finally. more dollars in the pocketbook.
 Feed the old and young sows sep arately, as the old ones may hurt the younger ones, and they will get more than they should. The mature sows are more desirable. but it is always necessary to grow few gifts to re- place some of the older ones.
 Breeders should prize above all oth. CTS those big. .growthy. long bodied, rather loosely made young sows. no matter if they have big ears and rath. CT coarse heads.
 Avoid being . market-chaser, and sell when the hogs are ready to go. that is. when they have reached a condition when it is no longer profit able to feed them, except for specula- tive purposes.
 It does not require great ability in figures to show that there is a great deal of waste in selling hogs when they are only half fed out
 It seldom pays to feed corn to pigs after they are ready to be marketed. Corn is not as perishable as fat hogs. It can be kept until the market ad- vances.
 As a general proposition the pig of 200 to 250 pounds is what every grow CT should aim at, and it is the pig that pays both killer and feeder bet ter than any other.

ROUGHAGE IS NOT
 RELISHED BY HOGS
Doubtful Whether Animals Will Consume More Than Grain
 and the Softer Parts.

The digestive apparatus of the hog does not permit it to consume large quantities of roughage. and corn si- lage does not as . rule prove . very satisfactory feed. However. some of our readers have fed silage to hogs and have reported good success, but it is doubtful whether the hogs will consume more than the grain and the softer parts when being properly fed.
 Silage in some cases proves . de sirxble addition the winter ration and will give good results when fed with care to brood sows. Legume silage is to be preferred to corn silage for this purpose.
 Moldy or spoiled silage is not good for any animal and hogs are no ex- ception to this rule. If they are being fed a suficiency of other feed there would probably be but little danger in allowing them to pick over the spoiled silage.

SOME DAIRY COWS
 ARE HARD TO MILK
One Remedy Recommended Is to Oil Feat Freely to Soften
 Skin, Then Use Force.
cBy R. M. wAsHBURN)

Some COWS are naturally hard to milk; others are made hard by weak handed milking. A woman or child with hands not strong enough for milking causes . COW to become hard for anyone to milk.
 To cure such . COW. oil the teat freely before starting to milk. so that the oil will work into and soften the skin. Then milk the COW with as much force e possible. squeezing hard. This treatment will usually cure an ordinary hard milker.
 Once in a great while it is neces- sary to cut the muscle surrounding the inside of the teat with . lance like knife. This, however, is very likely to ruin the COW if not done with great care to avoid cutting too much and causing permanent leakage.
 It also makes . sore which is pain .ul to the COW at the time of milk ing. and if done when the COW is not giving milk, the wound grows together and the muscis becomes tighter than before

(By 6. c. MILLERD

By 6. c. MIlLER)
 There are three essentials for health. thrift. and gain to be con sidered in the management of hogs. in order to obtain the best results; these are clean food. pure water. and dry, comfortable sleeping places.
 The food of the pig should be as clean as for any other farm animal that is, it should not be mixed or contaminated with any substance that contains no food value. Dirt and filth taken into the stomach along with food. impair digestion and reduce the gain; they also affect the appetite and general health of the pig. Then. too, a considerable part of the food con sumed is required to develop energy to separate and expel the indigestible matter.
 It is a law of nature that the excre- ment of ali animals is poisonous to themselves. and while pigs may profit. ably follow cattle, it is of vital i'm portance that their food be not con taminated with their own excrement. HE AuCdHs thde piSo suouiu Ac'ci tt fed on the ground in a yard or pen where their own excrement abounds. Feeding on the meadows or pastures, moving about from place to place is . good way in summer. In the winter. of course, feeding from the cribs is necessary, and to insure cleanliness at that time. there should be a feeding floor which should be cleaned after every feed.
 Over 40 per cent of a fat pig is water and a reduction of water supply below the natural requirements, will reduce the gain just as surely as a reduction of food will. Well or spring water is better than water from ponds or streams. Standing. or stagnant wa ter about the barns or lots should not be tolerated. Pigs should have

Alcohol for Motors.

The unquestioned shortage of gaso- line in Germany probably will lead to the universal adoption of denatured alcohol for industrial motor vehicles. For several years both France and Germany have demanded interchange able carburetors on subsidized motor vehicles, and Prince Henrys stirring appeal of two years ago. Germans, use Benzol!" served to impress Ger man motorists and truck users with the fact that gasoline is not the only motor fuel available.
 The wisdom of the alcohol-benzol propaganda is shown at present in the European war, where Germany is able to look with unconcern upon the com plete shutting ofY of its gasoline sup plies. More than 100, 0,000,000 gallons of denatured alcohol were ready for the motor trucks,

It is a good thing to know that an automobile may be started, even though the crank be lost. Simply jack up one rear wheel, throw the car into high speed and turn the wheel.

Under the Honor System.

Calls Attention To Large Number Of
Prisoners Who Kept Promises
Should Not Condemn System
Because of Few Escapes.

Des Moines.-Since the honor sys-
tenn went into effect at the Fort Madi.
son penitentiary in 1908, forty-four
convicts have escaped from the in
stitution. OF this number twenty-one
were captured and returned; two died
after leaving prison; three we're To-
Gated in other penitentiaries and
eighteen are still at large, according
to report made to the state board Of
control by Warden Sanders.
From the reformatory at Anamosa,
since 1912, there have been eleven
escapes. Six of the men were cap
tured and returned and FIVE are still
at large, according to the report OF
Warden McClaughry.
Twelve of the prisoners escaped
from Fort Madison penitentiary in
1915, and nine OF that number got
away since Sept 4.
An average of 200 out of GAO con-
victs at Fort Madison have been on
the honor list since 1912. The percent
age OF escapes has been small. Ward
en- Sanders appeals to the public to
judge the honor system by the num-
Der of men who stick, not by the num-
her of escapes.
The prisoners while working outside
the prison walls since 1912 earned
$65,oSl.35, the report shows.
