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-
CINE behaves at say, ten miles an hour
when second speed is engaged, it may
be taken as q criterion that when the
speedometer hand points to ten miles
an hour and any other gear is in
mesh, a change to second speed should
be made. Thus the engine ard the
car will be saved the unnecessary
racking caused when the engine COM
mences to labor.

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.
1t is only within recent years that
the manufacturers have decided that
the rural business was worth reaching
out for. 1t 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 thai would
meet his needs, it is likely that the
earlier cars sold in the country might
have, given sales il that territory a
decided setback.

to Expand.
FACT NOT REALIZED BY ALL
Expert Advises All Automobile own

Needless Expense and Posi-

Journey.

"Many motorists do not realize the
importance of prompt attention 10
small cuts or injuries in their tires,
says an expert. "It is especially I'M
portant, at this time of the year that
this warning be needed.
"a cut in the tread or cover OF the
case has a tendency to expand when
that part Of the tire is in contact with
the road. This permits mud, grit, pep
bles and other foreign matter to lodge
in the opening. When the injured part
of the tire is relieved of the weight of
the car the foreign matter, which has
accumulated, acts as wedge and with
each revolution of the wheel this for
eign matter is forced farther and far
Their between the cover and fabric, not
infrequently completely separating
them.
eff this separation Of the tread and
fabric is neglected for any length OF
time it is often necessary to apply
new cover If the fabric is in very
good condition this can generally be
done in a very satisfactory manner,
but how much expense and trouble can
be saved by prompt attention when the
cut is first made.
"It sometimes happens that a tire
having a good cover and appearing all
right from the outside fails to give
long service and the car owner Is as
tonished when he learns from repair
man that it is not practical to rebuild
the tire. This is often due to water
working through neglected cuts in the
cover and causing decay and dis1nte-
grafton of The f. brio. The fabric con-
stitutes the real foundation and
strength of the tire and therefore it
is highly important that it be pro-
tected
Examine your tires carefully at
regular intervals and especially after
long trips. Tacks, glass or any other
matter which may have become i'm
bedded in the tread should be removed
before any serious damage is done.
Wash away all mud to permit thor
ough examination of the tire.
"By the use of preparations intend
ed for emergency repairs, small cuts,
punctures or snags can be healed and
thus prevent them growing and becom-
ing serious. Large cuts or injuries
should be vulcanized at once by an
experienced and competent repair
man."

HEN SHOULD BE KEPT BUSY
Shock or Fright viii Cause Fowl to

as Bad as Undertaking.

Hens hold up their eggs just as
COWS hold up their milk. A shock or
fright of any kind, such as being
chased by dog, the presence Of
strange dogs, ETC., will cause a hen
to hold up her eggs, and frequently
cause dead eggs. Changing the house
will also cause a hen to hold up her
eggs for a few days. Hens and pull
lets should not be housed together,
a pullet has not finished her growth
when she begins laying therefore she
will lay her best on a ration which
would throw an old hen off her feet,
because she is making feathers, bone,
flesh and eggs. This is on the same
principle that a growing boy of six
teen will outeat his father.

FEED FOR THE BABY CHICKS
Best Plan Is to Confine Mother In
Coop Until the Youngsters Are
Strong and Sturdy.

By W. E. vAPLoN, Coli rado Agricul-
tural College,
If you will notice tie Query col
umns of the poultry press, you will
find that to feeds and feeding of baby
chicks Is attributed most Of the blame
for the ills they have, especially bowel
troubles; my experience has been that
the feed has less to do with the NOR
tally of chicks than any one of the
several other factors Farmers gen.
orally feel that turkeys are hard to
raise, but babying and lice probably
get most Of those that die. I know
two women who are very successful
with poults, one feeding only cracked
wheat, and the other cracked corn; in
both cases the mother hens are con-
fined and the poults have alfalfa range.
1t Is a good plan to keep the hens in
coops until the chicks and poults are
beyond the danger point and are
strong and sturdy. Wheat and corn,
cracked, where chickens are on free
range is all the grain needed. Milk
in any form is not only a good food
but tonic and beats any you can
buy in packages. The old fashioned
johnnycake made up Of ground grains
and wet with milk cannot be improved
upon.
When dad is using the pillow or cul-
tiyator, make Lin turn over few
burrows where the chicks are kept.
Feed scattered in this loose dirt will
give them something to do and also
provide a bath. It's easier to feed
twice day than every couple Of hours,
and just as well II plenty of fine grain
is scattered broadcast where the
chicks can find It.

by creating entirely new designs to

has had many suitable types to make
his selections from. 1t is now possible
for him to buy cars ranging in price
from $40 to $4,000 and get value re-
ceived for every dollar he puts into
the purchase. The designer and the

Cleaning of Oi.ina Systems.

With most modern circulating oil
ing systems it is not sufficient merely
to drain off 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. TIC

ing surface, therefore, it is wise when
cleaning out the reservoir, as should
be done two or three times a season
to fill the reservoir with kerosene OF!
and run the engine for two or three
minutes. "Afterward the case should
be carefully drained a second time be-
fore putting in fresh ell.

WHEN STOPPING OH A HILL
Simple Precaution That Has Beet
Known to Prevent Many Pcs
sibly Fatal Accident.

In leaving the car on billy street
it is always best to head the wheels
toward the curb at a slight angle so
that if the brake should give way or
some urchin should release it, the
curb will offer enough resistance tc
keep the car from coasting down hi!
1t is well to observe, however, that
in order to make this precaution at
all effective it is necessary to bring
the wheel into firm contact with the
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

car move forward and inward unit!

curb and will 80 no farther. Then

When the. car is facing up hill, dc

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 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 a back kick when cranking
the motor with the spark advanced or
the magnetic. 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 a good chance of the
car starting off in this fashion after
o quarter turn.
