ufacturer has frankly met the objec- tions to the first types sold in the country by modifying them and even by creating entirely new designs to meet conditions. Naturally the coun. try owner of an auto does not look with favor on the extremely heavy car or the richly-finished and luxurious car of the town types. He knows his roads and what a car must stand up under.
 Within the past two years the farm CT who wanted to buy an automobile has had many suitable types to make his selections from. It is now possible for him to buy cars ranging in price from $40 to 5000 and get value re- ceived for every dollar he puts into the purchase. The designer and the builder have at last got down to busi- ness in the making of cars for rural use. Considering the materials, and the stresses and strains these mate rials must undergo on country roads, the car builders have attained great degree of success.

Usefulness of speedometers.

Though speedometers generally are used to ascertain the speed at which the car is being driven, there is an- other use to which they advantageous ly may be put, i. e., to determine the exact moment when it is proper to change gears. Of course, the time when gears should be shifted will vary slightly according to the conditions under which the car. is being driven. but once it is determined that the en- zine behaves at say, ten miles an hour when second speed is engaged, it may be taken as a criterion that when the speedometer hand points to ten miles an hour and any other gear is in mesh. change to second speed should be made. Thus the engine and the car will be saved the unnecessary racking caused when the engine com mences to labor.

WHEN STOPPING ON A HILL
Simple Preeaution That Has Been Known to Prevent Many Pos
 sibly Fatal Accident.

In leaving the car on hiily street it is always best to head the wheels toward the curb at a slight augle so that if the brake should give way or some urchin should release it, the curb will offer enough resistance to keep the car from coasting down hill. It is we'll to observe, however. that in order to make this precaution at all effective it is necessary to bring curb. For example. supposing the car is facing down hill, then the front wheels should be pulled away around so that they stand at an angle of at least 40 degrees. But after this is done the effectiveness of this precau- ton should be tested by allowing the weight of the car to settle gently against the right wheel and the curb. Release the brake slightly and let the car move forward and inward until the wheel Is forced tight against the curb and will go no farther Then set the emergency brake.
 When the car is facing up hill, do not bring it within IS inches or two feet of the curb and then cut the wheels to the right the maximum amount and allow the car to back gently until the right rear wheel touches the curb and prevents the car from going any farther.
 There are two things to look out for in cranking a car, if your machine is still equipped with only a starter handle. One is to make sure that the spark is retarded when starting on the battery. although there is no danger of back kick when cranking the motor with the spark advanced on the magneto. The other point to re- member is that the low-gear lever should not be engaged. Absurd as it may seem, it is not infrequent that somebody is injured by being run over after cranking a car in low gear. There is no danger of starting the car in this way on the other gears, but on low the mechanical advantage is so great that it can be done with out difficulty. and when the motor is warm there is good chance of the car starting on in this fashion after quarter turn.

The first few years of automobile manufacturing ignored the country market for machines. There was in fact no market there. At that time the city market was undeveloped and as long as city buyers took cars as fast as they were finished the manu- facturer refused to trouble himself about the type of car that would be adapted to country roads and country usage.
 It Is only within recent years that the manufacturers have decided that the rural business was worth reaching out for. It must be confessed that some of the first cars exploited in the rural districts were but poorly adapt ed to the sort of usage they were bound to get. Had it not been for the determination of the would-be auto owner to get hold of a car that would meet his needs. it is likely that the earlier cars sold in the country might have given sales in that territory a decided setback.
 Things are different now. The man.

 ABOUT THE WAR,

It is officially announced that the Russian troops have gained a decisive victory at Sari Kamysh. The entire Ninth army corps of the Turks was captured.
 A Petrograd dispatch to the London Exchange Telegraph Company says: It is officially estimated that twenty seven German army corps are operat- Ing against Russia. Four hundred thousand Germans and Austrians have already been taken prisoners. and their killed and wounded are three or four times heavier"
 The House of Lords met a month earlier than the House of Commons. chiefly to hear from Lord Kitchener a review of the military operations for the six weeks since Parliament was prorogued. Lord Kitchener said that despite their magnificent army organ ization. the Germans were being pushed back slowly and surely and that final victory for the British arms could not be questioned.
 Apart from the Russian victory over the Turks in Transcaucasia, which is described in a dispatch to the Rus sian embassy from Petrograd as complete" interest in the war now lies chiefly in the stubborn fight which the French and Germans are carrying on for the roads to Cernay and Mulhausen in upper Alsace. The battle in that region, which has been raging for a week, is described in a Berlin dispatch as the most violent of the war

Cleaning of Oilina Systems.

With most modern circulating oil- ing systems it is not sufficient merely to drain of the used oil periodically and replace it with fresh. While the flow of oil from the pump will tend to keep all passages on the feeding side of the circuit free from obstruction, the return passages, through which the oil generally finds its way by gravity alone, are liable to become partially clogged in the course of time To maintain a proper feed to every bear ing surface. therefore, 1t is wise when cleaning out the reservoir, as should be done two or three times a season. to fill the reservoir with kerosene oil and run the engine for two or three minutes. Afterward the case should be carefully drained a second time be- fore putting in fresh oil.

PREPARATION OF SEED BED
spike-Toothed Harrow Fines the ciods and compaets Soil Below Surface
 Use of Sweeps.

CBy ]. D. TINSLEY. New Mexico)
 In preparing the seed bed on our dry farms good judgment must be eIer- cised in using the spike-toothed har- row. This implement fines the clods face. This pulverizing action on the surface offsets the advantage gained in frming. Of the implements for working the surface of plowed land. the best which have been observed in use are cultivators with wing-sweep attachments. The only objection to these implements is that they are not wide enough to cover sufficient ground at each trip across the field so that the work is slow.
 F. E. Homsher of Levy attaches sweeps to the frame of Lis grain drill This implement materially in- creases the area of land that can be covered in day by a man and team. An implement of this kind that would cover strip of field 16 feet wide and require four horses is a very desirable addition to the list of dry-farming i'm plements.
 A very important point in decreasing the cost of producing dry-farming crops is cutting out extra men, or what amounts to the same thing. in- creasing the area of land that can be cultivated properly by one man. Ia narrowing large grain fields four horses are often hitched to three sec tions of the harrow and with this out fit man or boy can cover 30 acres in a day
 If the implement carrying Is feet Of sweeps were adopted. it could be used for preparing land for killing weeds before planting and by remov- ing some of the sweeps it could be used for cultiyating row crops. MT. Homsher uses the drill frame, carry ing sweeps, to kill weeds and to mulch the surface of the plowed ground. He then removes the sweeps, puts on the seed box and three drill spouts and plants the bean crop. The sweeps are then replaced with proper spacing and the crop is cultivated with this imple- ment This enables him to plant three rows and afterwards to cultivate two rows each trip.
 The sweeps are kept sharp and kill weeds better than the spike-toothed harrow; throw the dirt into ridges; are adjustable in depth, and do not break thn clods, but raise them to the surface. while letting the fine dirt sift down where it is wanted, around the seeds and roots.

Motor Transports of the Russians.

A correspondent of a London paper, who was present at some of the mili- tary operations in East Prussia. tells of encountering a train of military motor transports on the road near the fighting line, each truck loaded with about thirty men, packed like sardines. They were travelling like no motor wagon that I ever saw certainly at not less than forty miles per hour. The procession seemed endless. I didn't count them. but there were not less than a hundred, and perhaps a good many more. That was General Rennenkamn re-enforc- ing his threatened flank. ."-Scientifc American.
