 Reasoning expression of how automo- blles ought to be driven rather leads to the hope that the speed regulations will sooner or later bring about an equally
 uiIanimous set of miles per hour rules for definite conditions. until such time as a law like Lousiana's obtains every where As now listed. these are just enough varied in the mileage rate. though rather alike in their objectives. to cre- ate confusion on the part of the interstate tourists
 Louisiana recognizes that miles per hour restrictions do not guarantee sane use of the highway by all its users. and particularly those possessing vehicles of great speed. It places a direct responsi- bility on all concerned and should result in rates of speed harmonixing with ex- irting traffic conditions.

FOUR-CYLINDER ENGINES
 MOST LARGEL Y PRODUCED

Notwithstanding the great hue and cry which is being raised by the opponents of multiple cylinder cars, the fact remains that S5 per cent of the automobiles to be produced in 1916 will be of the four-cylin- der type. Of this large majority 75 per cent will be of the L-head type-that is to say. as opposed to the so-called contrast ing type.
 The four cylinder motor for many rea- sons is still the most efficient and simple for all the practical purposes of motor car propulsion. It Is a fact well known to engineers that the fiexibility apparent in cars with six. eight and twelve cylin- ders is not entirely due to the motor. ln- quiry will show that the gear ratios play a very important role in the perfect torque obtained at slow speeds. high speed multiple cylinder engine in connection with low gear ratios is combination that will cause the average motorist many anxious moments.

Club of Government. Workers.

Washington, July 12.-The national
capital will soon have one of the big
gest clubs and one of the biggest club
houses in the world II Franklin h.
Lane. secretary of the interior, carries
out his plan. Indications are thai he
will. He has a committee of three at
work. and it is meeting with much
success.
The secretary's plans call for the
formation in one big club of the 1900
government employees here. He hopes
to erect a clubhouse occupying a whole
block.
II is not alone the social end that
Secretary Lane has in mind. He plans
to look after physical needs also. He
proposes to establish a chain of coop
erative stores in Washington where
the government clerks can purchase
their food, clothing and other neces-
saries of life at a cost very much be
low that which now prevails.
Secretary Lane is an enthusiastic adj
herent of the cooperative plan. 1t Is
used successfully in the reclamation
service of the interior department and
on a more or less limited scale In the
Home club. of which the secretary is
founder and president.
The Home club will be the nucleus
of the new organization. Ii occupies
the old Brazilian embassy. in Jackson
place, but its membership has grown
so fast that, although this house is one
of the most commodious in the city. it
Is almost impossible TO care for its
LOO members. all employees of the
interior department.

Germany Now Vas. Truck Farm.


New York, July i2.-Germany Is n
immense truck farm. writes a corre-
spondent from Berlin. Not In the en-
tire history of the empire has there
been such a reversion to agriculture.
The casual visitor to Germany leaves
with the impression that there are un-
usual numbers of young men still In
civil life. This impression fades once
one gets into the country. 1t is the
exception to see men working In the
fields.
In their places are large numbers of
women and boys. In place Of horses
one sees oxen and even milk cows at
tached to plows. harrows and wagons.
So keen has the agricultural contest
become that plots of ground that for
merry went to waste are nov being
prepared for gardens. For miles and
miles In central and southern Ger
many miniature truck gardens have
been formed even between the tracks
of the railroads.
The approach to every city of any
size In the land Is heralded by acres
of tiny gardens. To maintain at least
a small plot of ground has become al
most a patriotic duty.

UNIFORMITY IN WOOL.

Source of Loss.

source OF Loss.
Government experts say that I'M
proper methods of preparing wool for
shipment cost the farmer l TO 3 cents a
pound, says the Orange Judd Farmer.
They claim that manufacturers are
frequently put to extra expense In cor
recting this loss, and IL farmers and
manufacturers were aware OF each
others difficulty this loss might be pre-
vented. The manufacturer protects
himself against loss by lowering the
price. One reason why Australian wool
sells for better prices in this country Is
because Australian producers seek to
learn what manufacturers want and
try to prepare the fleece so as to meet
that want.
Some of the things to be done In
handling wool are the following: Sack
lamb. eve, wether and buck wool or
very early feeces separately. Shear all
black sheep at one time and put the
wool in separate sacks. Remove and
sack separately all tags and then allow
no tag discount from the clip as a
whole. Use a separate light, hard,
glazed, preferably paper Irvine. Sc
curely knot the string on each fleece.
Turn sacks wrong side out and shake
well before filling. Keep the wool well
dried at all times. Make the brands on
the sheep small.

stand. and where the insects are
numerous it Is quite customary to SOW
three or four times the normal amount
of seed as a protection against its raw
ages. Although wireworms do most OF
this damage while mere grubs measur-
ing from half an inch to three inches
In length, they are more readily recog-
nized as adult beetles, which in SOM
localities are known as 'click Beetles
skip jacks" Swapping beetles" etc.
A number of birds are known to feed
on wireworms and these are probably
the most important factor In keeping
down the pest. Among these birds are
the bobwhite, flicker, mourning dove,
ruffed grouse, crow, w~hippoorwill
California quail, cowbird and bobolink.
Cuckoos. woodpeckers, blackbirds,
orioles, sparrows, jays and certain
kinds of hawks are also useful in this
way.
Where the wireworms are too nu-
merous to be effectively checked by
birds the only remedies which have
been found effective are cultural meth
DDS. Attempts to kill the adult beetle
by poisoning, drying the seed to pre-
vent its being eaten by the insect, or
the introduction Of poisonous sub
stances into the soil have all been
found decidedly unsatisfactory.
A thorough preparation of the corn
seed bed and a liberal use of barnyard
manure or other fertilizer will often
result in a fair stand of corn despite
the wireworms. for a vigorous plant
may be able to produce roots enough
to withstand the attack of this enemy.

A New Use For the Manure spreader.

A simple adjustment, according to
the United States department Of agri-
culture. VIII enable the farmer to use
his anure spreader when desirable
as a wagon for bringing in root crops
intended for stock feed. The cylinder
or spreader is first removed from the
end Of the box and a suitable end
board set in place and held by IN iron
bar or rod. At the door of the root
cellar the end board can be readily
lifted out and the crank which con-
meets with the apron shift put on. The
roots can then be readily rolled through
the door by turning the crank by hand.
In this way the load a be delivered
in a few moments.
The advantages of this scheme are
obvious. for under ordinary circum-
stances the n spreader is idle
while the harvest is in progress.
