Though the fields were small in nearly
all the races, there were some good fin
ishes, and the drivers were out for the
money. L. B. Trafton, of Sanford, as
starter, did good work in the stand. He
had the confidence OF the drivers. who CO.
operated with him, with the result that
the fields were sent away without long
scoring delays.

HOW the BODY /. Nouri.hed.

The bodily process known as assimilation
is well explained in these words: "As the
blood, in its circulation, approaches any Or
gan, the portions that are appropriate for
this organ feel its attractive force, obey it,
and leaving the others, mingie with the sub
stance Of its tissue and are changed into its
own true and proper nature"
How important it is that the blood should
be pure and rich, not loaded with worn-out
and useless matters! Hoods sarsaparilla
purifes and enriches the blood, and does all
it is possible for medicine to do in the way Of
perfecting assimilation and building dp the
whole system. When you have made up your
mind to take Hoods Sarsaparilla, insist on
having it-don't accept . substitute, for nc

Nowadays the bugbear of motoring is the matter of tire repairs. notwith- standing the demountable rims and spare wheels on which are inflated tires which may be put on in a few moments. Even with these conven- fences the motorist is not aware of the fact that his tire is greatly underin Hated and that to continue running the car while the tire is in this condition means absolute ruin of the casing and tube and a heavy cost for a replace- ment

The air pressure is generated by pump at tached to the motor and is carried through pipes to the axle and then to the wheel hubs and to the tire. A TO- tary joint at the hub is comprised of two disks moving upon each other, one attached to the axle and the other revolving with the hub, the latter hay. ing deep groove. into which extends fiange from the other disk bearing

Dinerentiai and Universal.

The object of the differential is tU compensate the difference in travel of the rear wheels. In turning corners the inside wheel must turn less than the outside wheel. The differential permits the wheels to turn at different speeds and at the same time receive equal drive power from the engine, thus obviating unnecessary strains and slipping of wheels. Even in straight forward driving the differential per forms important duties, in that when one drive-wheel hits an obstruction the differential prevents the torque strain which otherwise would be transmitted through the whole drive mechanism.
 The object of the universal joints is to permit the transmission of power through shafts rotating at different angles or not in alignment In the shaft-Grive automobile the transmits. sion of power from the power plant to the rear axle would be impossible without universal joints in the drive shaft, since the angle of the drive shaft constantly changes. This is due to the power plant, or one end of the drive shaft being mounted above the springs and the axle or other end of the shaft below the springs. The spring action causes the difference in angle of the connecting shaft.

DEEP TILlAGE AN ESSENTIAL
Positively No Argument Against Deep TiIlage in Dry Sections to Con
 serve Soil Moisture.

Deep tillage we consider absolutely essential to the gathering and saving of the greatest possible amount of soil moisture. We do not believe that the dry farmer can ever grow profitable crops over a series of years op a seed-bed but four or five inches deep, says a writer in Dakota Farmer. A ten-inch seed-bed should be made the minimum under a fifteen-inch rainfall and on normal Dakota loam soils And the sooner his depth is reached the better it will be. If it is possible to get the depth at the first breaking SO much the better. No matter what may be said for or against deep till age in the humid sections there car positively be no argument against it in the drier areas. It must be made the foundation of soil tillage there.

.TW0-CYCLE ENGINE
Manufacturers Believe They Have Devised an Improve
 ment of Worth.
HAS SOME NOVEL FEATURES
Designed So That t Operates Eth- eientIy With a Small or a Heavy Charge, Making the Engine
 Most Suitable for Driv-
 ing an Automobile.

In an attempt to take advantage of the theoretical superiority of the two cycle gas engine over the four-cycle engine, one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the country has talk Cn out patents for Improvements that apparently overcome the disadvan- tages heretofore connected with the use of two-cycle engines on automo- piles. A four-cycle engine makes four strokes of the piston or two reyolu- tions of the fiywheel for each exrlo- sion. while the two-cycie engine makes two strokes of the piston or one revo- lution of the fywheel In four-cy- Gle engine, the return stroke of the piston, after it has been forced out by the explosion of the gas. empties or 'scavenges" the cylinder of the burned gases. which are forced out through the exhaust port. As the piston goes out again it draws in a fresh supply Of gas. On the next in ward stroke it congresses the gas. and as it reaches the end of the stroke the gas is ignited and the piston is again forced out by the explosion of the gas. The principal disadvantage in this type of engine is in the valves and in the cam shafts, and other ap- paratus, required for opening and closing them at just the right times. The two-cycle engine is valveless. the ports being opened and closed by the piston. In this type of engine the gas first enters the crank case, being drawn in by the piston as it moves toward the opposite end of the cyl inder. This movement of the piston also congresses the gas already in the cylinder and at the end of the stroke the gas is ignited. Near the end of the return stroke the piston uncovers the exhaust port as well as the entry port at the end of bypass connecting with the crank case. The gas in the crank case. which has been compressed by the return stroke of

GOOD DRY FARM CROP
Broom Corn Becoming Popular in
 Semiarid Districts.
Being One of sorehums, is Naturally Drought Resistant, Especially in Dwarf Varieties - Planting
 Often Done With Lister.

The largest proportion of the broom corn crop which enters into the inter- state trade is produced ip a certain small area in Illinois and in a number of counties in Oklahoma. according to the statistician of Orange Judd Farmer.
 Kansas and Texas contribute to the southwestern crop, varying amounts are raised in Nebraska. and a num- Der of other states like Tennessee. Missouri and Iowa grow some broom corn. and small acreages of it have been successfully grown in Idaho. h. dications are that the Illinois acreage is growing smaller in recent years, and it is certain that the broom corn acreage is expanding in the South. west The Illinois district raises the standard variety from which brush for large, heavy brooms is secured. while the dwarf varieties are favored more in the Southwest
 Generally speaking, any good corn land is good broom corn land. Broom corn, however, being one of tte sorghums. is naturally drought resist ant. and in the dwarf varieties this characteristic is developed to a is so popular in the dry districts of the southwestern states. In fact, in the unusually dry season of last year broom corn was one of the few crops that made the southwestern farmer a dollar Although current reports stated that even the broom corn crop was severely injured. harvest results showed fairly satisfactory output in that region. In several counties where broom corn is largely grown the farm CTS would have been in hard circum stances indeed. had they not raised a fairly good crop of broom corn and l received particularly high prices the past season.
 In this district the planting is fire quently cone with lister, although on well-prepared ground the corn planter can best be used About three quarts ! of seed per acre are sufficient. A sor ghum plate may be used. which will uEOp tne seeuS dDOuI q lOOt apart III the row. Cultivation is then given as needed. the same as in raising corr or any of the sorghums.
 The crop may be planted any time after May 1. depending upon heat and moisture conditions, and planting may be continued up to the middle of June Five hundred pounds per acre are con sidered a good yield of brush, and thi: is probably above the average for the | Southwest. On this basis it will take from four to five acres to produce g ton. The heads are cut or pulled iron the stock. leaving 12 to 16 inches oi the stalk attached, are dried slightly hauled in on wagons. the seed is re moved, and the brush is then best piled on shelves under roof and allowed tc cure there. Dry. clear weather is es sential in curing, so that the bright green color so much desired may be | retained. Afterward the brush is placed in bales of from three to foul hundred pounds each and is ready fol | shipment

CARE IN SELECTING A BOAF
Market of Same Size and Color Bring Best Prices.

In selecting a boar one should take pains :o always get pure bred boar of whatever breed he is breeding. Many farmers like to use a boar of different breed and make cross. This may be all right for first cross, but the sows from such cross should never be kept for breeders. The same old sows should be kept as long as they prove good mothers. This also makes it unnecessary to change boars each year, where, if enc was selecting young sows he would have to get a new boar each year. Even with the man who buys hogs to ship to mar ket, he prefers a load that are all alike, or of the same breed. Such a carload will sell better in the market and generally brings more money.
