SEVEN POINT FARMING

In making your farm plans for next
year and the following years it will
make you money to keep the following
points in mind, says Prof. j. G. Hutton,
associate agronomist at State College,:
First, grow a rotation of crops; Sec
ond, include a cultivated crop and a
legume crop in the rotation; third,
pillow under all stalks, straw, and man
ure; fourth, keep the soil sweet with
ground limestone where necessary;
fifth, apply phosphorus to the soil
where necessary; sixth, let ready-mix-
ed fertilizers alone; seventh, keep
thinking about this all the time. The
only way to find out the truth about
the soil is to study the soil, in other
words make a soil survey of the state.
What will it cost? About five cents
per quarter section per year for a few
years. Can you afford it? Can you
afford to do without the facts about
your quarter for five cents? Think
about it.

SHORT COURSE ARRANGED

A series of special entertainment
features and conferences have been
provided for the farm and home course
which will be held at State College
December 27 to January l. The even
ing programs will include a general
informal reception; program of music
and readings by members of the col
lege faculty; good roads lecture by j.
w. Parmley of Ipswich; illustrated lee
of immigration and a motion picture
feature.
The rural conference will be led as
follows: farm stock, R. f. Lyons, Yer
million and w. S. Hill of Mitchell;
farm dairying, o. l.. Branson, Nit
chell; farm crops, George Carroll, Mil
Ter; farm horticulture, j. w. Campbell,
Huron and the home and community
center, Mrs. F. A. Boalen, Chambec-
lain. On Friday afternoon, December
81, the animal husbandry department
of the college will offer at auction
some surplus registered live stock.
Seven demonstration periods will be
held each day of the course beginning
at eight o'clock every morning. For
men special attention will be given to
hog cholera, livestock, soils and crops,
farm engineering, d%airying, and trees
and fruits. Women will study foricul-
ture and home gardening, home prob
lens, poultry culture, cooking and
sewing. The regular faculty of the col
lege will be in charge.
Farm people will have exclusive use
of college equipment during the
course since all regular students will
be home on vacation. In fact, many
farms will be managed by the boys
and girls while parents are getting a
taste of college life. There is no
charge for the course either in tuition
or fees of any kind. A large attend
ance is expected. Last year, when
the course was first offered, there was
an attendance of 1914 farm men and
women, representing SO towns, in 20
counties of three states.

Seals are cautioned against indiscrim-
mate use on foreign mail. Red Cross
Seals in normal times may be used
on the reverse side of mail matter
sent to Austria, Germany, Great Brit
ain and most of the British colonies,
except India and Australia. Guate-
malta, Uruguay and Portugal refuse to
admit mail bearing non-postage
stamps. Certain European countries
will return to the sender any mail
bearing Red Cross Seals On the ad-
dress side. Mail addressed to any Of
the ~belligerent countries in Europe
should not bear Red Cross Seals on the
address side. Red Cross Seals may be
used on the face Of checks, bills, on
legal documents and on any CONNER
cial paper. The Christmas Seals are
not good for postage. They will not
carry any mail matter, but any kind
of mail matter will carry them.

THE REFoRMER's TRIUMPH
(After

(After "Hiawatha.")
Forth into the legislature
Marched the valiant Reformer,
Full of fire as any zealot.
Loud the Trusts began to clamor;
do not harm us, o Reformer."
And the very constitution
Trembled as it plead for mercy,
Crying, Spare me, o Reformer!"
But he needed not nor heard them
For his thoughts were soaring else
where,
Wandering amid the jungle
Of deleterious legislation.
Pondering many weighty questions,
Long he waited for a hearing;
Waited long for recognition.
Then he introduced a measure
Making everything illegal;
Sought to place a ban on treating;
Sought to do away with hat-pins;
Introduced a bill forbidding
Anyone to use the "makings'
Boys from playing ball on Sunday;
Bands from giving Sunday concerts
Folks from fishing on the Sabbath;
Women folks from wearing feathers
Regulating the ladies' bathing cos
tunes.
Having introduced these measures,
Long he rested on his laurels;
Thought himself the great Reformer,
Thought himself a great Joy-killer,
And, returning to his village,
Planned a banquet in his honor.

Expert Advice For the
Automobile Owner
Queries and Replies Covering Matters Of
Importance to the Man Who Runs q Car

My motor overheats and carbonizes
very badly. Can you tell me tho cause
Of tnis7
The first thing to do in case Of motor
overheating is to clean out the water
system in order to make sure that the
heating is not caused by some. me-
chanical disarrangement. Use boiling
hot water saturated with common
washing soda. IL possible force this
into the water system under pressure.
Granting that the water system Is In
good shape, you may look to the oiling.
The feeding of too much oil will cause
carbon to deposit rapidly, and the
presence Of carbon will bring with it
excessive heating. Heavy oil should
not be used. A light or medium grade
Is better. If the ignition and valves
are not timed correctly you may get
overheating. A slipping clutch causes
the motor TO show lack of power, and
because it must do a greater amount
Of work at n given speed it may over
heat slightly. This may account for
the motors comparatively poor show
ing. How about the carburetor? An
overrich mixture, especially If a poor
grade of fuel Is used, may cause ove
heating.

etc. You will have to confer with a
man familiar with irrigation details to
get specific data. The four cylinder
engine you have should show about
thirty-three horsepower at about 1900
r. p. IN. This would be ample for
a twenty-five foot head, as many in.
stallations in use at present are using
motors Of less power. Your motor may
be installed where a four cylinder IN
CINE Is coupled directly to a centrifu-
gal pump. A separate stand may be
used for the fuel tank. or it n.sy be at
tached to a br ,cket fastened to the en-
CINE stand. In stationary work such
as this kerosene has been found to
give almost as good results as gasoline.
and we suggest that you think serious
ly of the fuel problem. especially
should the station be In an isolated
district. In the matter Of cooling you
could erect a small stand with a tank
attached. The wafer exhaust may be
led to the main line and the intake at.
tached to a pipe leading into the tank.
Operated at a speed Of between 500
and 300 r. p. M, your motor should de-
velop sufficient power to show good re
suits with a twenty-five foot head; but,
as stated previously. there are many
conditions entering into such an in
stallation which require the services Of
an irrigation expert.

Az several manufacturers are dis
cardins %magnetos and using generators
with storage batteries, coils and dis
tributors, can you tell mo the relative
merits and dement's of the two differ
emit systems of ignition?
The subject Of battery versus mag
netO ignition is one which up to this
time has not been decided, as there is
much difference OF opinion among en-
gineers. The majority Of manufactur-
ers today are equipping with magnetic
shown itself to be reliable, giving lit
tie If any trouble for long periods.
The engineers, on the n side, claim
it superior to battery ignition for the
reason that an ~inexhaustible supply of
current increases In volume as the mo.
tor speed increases. Engineers Of a
specific type of magnetic will claim
the instrument better because Of the
current generation characteristics.
which they say are superior to that
Of the battery ignition system, but
this claim is opposed by many manu-
f%acturers Of battery ignition systems.
The cost Of the magnetic in most In.
stances is greater than that Of an or
binary battery system, not consider
ing the generator, for 1t is necessary
for recharging the battery and supply
ing the lights. The magnetic supplies
current only when the engine is run
ming, and hence without a battery as
an auxiliary initial starting is hard.
With The battery, current Is always at
hand, and hence a spark is assured,
provided, Of course, the accumulation is
In good condition.

When tho rivets which hold tho
frame Of a car together become loose,
what is tho correct way to put in new
nes, and Of what material should they
be made?
Use a chisel to remove the old rivets
and then insert new ones. The rivet
is placed In position, and while one
person holds q block of hard wood or
metal against the rivet head another
uses the riveter at the other end. A
riveter may be made by simply hollow
ing out the end Of q bar of steel, the
followed portion to be large enough al
most to fit the riyet head. The block
or back stop may be either metal or
wood, and it is used merely to keep
the rivet In place and allow Of the
other end being forced into shape
You will find the usual frame rivets
to be either five-sixteenths or three
eighths inch in diameter, and these
may be riveted in place either hot OF
cold. The rivet material Is usually
soft tough steel or iron, and when pur
chasing mention the work the rivet
will do.

magnetic ignition as weIl as batteries.
Some motors may fire better with
the narrow gap than with the wide one,
and vice versa. Motors of compare
lively low compression will take the
wider gap. If the motor is run at slow
speed most of the time 1t will be found
the narrow gap will be best. The size
of the gap then is depending upon the
voltage OF the magnetic, which in turn
is determined by it's construction and
speed and the compression in the cyl
inders.

In welding axIes, drive shafts and
gears, how should they be heat treated
after being repaired?
Many Of the welding companies do
not heat treat the metals after weld
ing. They simply repair the break
with the welding alloy and then pro-
ounce it ready for installation. In
the case Of tempered or hardened parts
they should be treated Just as they
were originally. 1t should be remem-
bered that nearly every metal has its
own flux, and after welding the parts
should be tempered or hardened as re-
quired by that metal. Take case hard
ened gears, for example. A steel nux
may be used, and after cohesion be-
tween the parts the weld Is finished
and the gear case hardened Al 1t was
originally.

Is il better in going down a hill to

The best method is to leave the

What is the most efficient angle of
the fan blade?
There is no such thing as the most
efficient angle Of a fan blade. Every
different speed of the car, every differ
ent variation of the velocity Of the
wind, of the speed Of the motor and
diameter of the fan itself, would make
the theoretical pitch undergo wide
changes. AS stated by one authority,
1t is impossible to give any general
rules or formulas covering the proper
lions Of parts Of fans and blowers.
There are no less han fourteen varia-
bles involved In the construction and
operation Of a fan. a slight change in
n producing wide variations in the
performance. Therefore the design of
a new fan is largely a matter Of ex-
perimentation until a compromise de-
sign is finally reached.

1t viii be found that in most cases
where the plugs are over the exhaust
valves the points will become dirty
more quickly than those Of the plugs
Over the intake valves. The fresh in

times the plugs location is on the in

On an eight cylinder v type motor
will there be excessive wear on the CYL
inders, thus tending to make them
oval in shape? Also will not the pis-
tons become worn excessively, duo TO
their weight?
In early practice it often was stated
that V and horizontal types OF engines
had a tendency to wear the cylinder
oval and that excessive piston wear
would result, but this has been found
to be untrue. The piston weight can
be considered in this respect as negligi-
bic in comparison with the side thrust
of the piston on the cylinder wall due
TO connecting rod angularity.

Study Outside Loaf
Activities

The table shows that the "a" men
spend but little more time at their
looks than do the "B" men, and that
the difference between the "B" men
and the &c" men is much less than
might have been expected. 1t seems
then the test is not how much time
you spend on a lesson, but rather how
much you concentrate. The "B" men,
however, spend the most time in out
siie activities, and the ID" men the
least, while the proportion of three
to one is reversed when it comes to
loafing.
In any event this table should tend
to dissipate the somewhat too preva-
lent notion that only grinds get the
high grades. That idea is something
akin to the statement that the man
who gets all "A's," or "E's," in col
lege never amounts to anything after
wards, and its opposite that great
men were poor students at college.
