SPRING CLEANING

Now is the time for all good motor
lists to prepare for spring. If your
car Is not In very good mechanical
condition 1t should be taken to a good
repair shop. Do this Immediately SO
that the repairman will not be obliged
to slight his work in order to deliver
It to you on time.
II the car is in good mechanical con-
dition, bu. has been run over 5000
miles. 1t should be thoroughly inspect
ed. See that wheel, gearset and axle
bearings are in adjustment; that the
motor is not carbonized.
Test compression and grind valves,
II necessary.
Remove dirty grease from the gear
box, rear axle and wheel hubs, and
wash thoroughly with kerosene.
Clean the clutch with kerosene or
gasoline. and II the facing is leather
apply neatsfoot oil to soften 1t; if 1t
slips, use fullers earth.

OAKLAND PUTS
GREAT POWER
IN ITS MOTOR

Power is the greatest feature of
the Oakland" said Joseph Seaney, of
the Seaney and Brown agency. "All
the Oakland cars are 50 thoroughly
tested before they leave the factory
that they stand the test OF any use that
may be given them"
"A very big problem with motor car
manufacturers, who strive to have
their new models thoroughly tested
by hard and diversified usage before
placing on the market, has been to
find variety Of roads, good and bad,
hills and high attitudes near their fac
tory.
Many companies find 1t necessary
to send their engineers and expert
mental models many miles from the
location Of the factory. The Oakland
Motor Car company, however, are
ideally located in this respect.
Where Cars Are Made.
Oakland county, the largest county
In the lower peninsula of Michigan.
has for It's county seat, Pontiac, where
the Oakland cars are manufactured.
This county is noted OF, having the
SIcdteSI HuHlDcT Oh lakes VI any county
In Michigan and also some Of the high
est elevations OF land in the state OF
Michigan.
Bald Mountain and Waterford
Mountain, two of the highest hills Of
a range that traverses the state of
Michigan from near the Indiana line
on the southwest to the Thumb region
In the northeast of Michigan, are To-
Gated In Oakland county but few
miles from Pontiac.
"A variety of roads, some Of the
best in Michigan, and other roads
that are seldom travelled lead over
and through this range of hills, are
made use of by Oakland engineers to
good advantage. They are able to
try their car for speed and accelera-
tive ability on the good roads, while
power and endurance are tried to the
extreme On the byways and the hills
OF Oakland county This gives the
Oakland company decided advan-
tage In being able to try out their
models with little delay and of being
able to develop design with factor
OF safety fully sufficient to meet
operating demands in any section of
the world"

100000 PAID
BY RUSSIANS FOR
TRACTORS OF U. S,

YORK, Pa, March 21.-One Of the
largest shipments of motor tractors to
Russia, on the large contract being
filled by the Morton Truck and Trac-
tor company, Of Harrisburg, was sent
this week to Seattle, Wash, for export
shipment. The total value of the ship
ment is 100000. A solid train of
sixty cars, each car loaded with a
truck, was used for transporting the
large war order.
The tractors were built at the plant
of the Baldwin Locomotive Works,
Philadelphia, on a sub-contract, and
two weeks ago were shipped from the
Quaker City to New York Owing to
the freight blockade at the New York
I, terminal the cars were tied up in the
freight yards in the metropolis. Upon
receipt of notice to rush the ship
ment as rapidly as possible, and in
view of the fact that railroad officials
are unable to say how soon the block
ade in the East will be lifted, the Har-
risburg company believed that consid-
cradle time could be saved in shipping
West, notwithstanding that the route
to Russia via Seattle is 5000 miles
farther.
The Pennsylvania railroad handled
the special train as preference freight
with instructions to permit no delays
at division terminals. Each truck is
packed in large box which takes up
all the room on a gondola, 60 feet
long. Assurance was given by the
railroad company officials that boat
would be ready at Seattle to take the
shipment

PREVENTIvES SAVE
MANY FRUIT TREES
Number of Schemes Have Been
Tested Out by Experiment
Stations and Growers.

(By c. c. VINCENT, Idaho Experimental
Station)
The damage caused by rabbits each
year during the past few years has be-
come more and more pronounced. In
most Of our highly developed fruit Sec
tions the growers have found that 1t is
very easy matter to prevent rabbits
from injuring the trees. In most all
cases the damage Is due to neglect
rather than lack of efficient remedy.
A number of preventives that have
been tried out by practical growers
and experiment stations are given be-
low:
Poisoned bait has been used very
effectively in many sections by placing
1t where the rabbits can get 1t. A for
mula consisting Of one part strychnine,
one-third part borax, one part white
strip, ten parts water, recommended
by the Ohio experiment station, has
given good satisfaction. This mixture
is applied to the tender twigs which
are distributed around the base of the
tree.
many growers. Strips of wire window
screening IS to "a inches long and
to IL inches wide are used frequent
ly These strips are wrapped around
the base of the tree in the form of
tubes with the lower end pressed into
the ground.
A woven wire fence is desirable
where the planting is large enough to
justify the expense. Wooden veneer
strips, having about the same dimen-
sions as the wiring screening, have
also been recommended.
Washes of various kinds are also
used quite extensively by our growers.
Heavy rains, however. wash them off
occasionally, which makes it necessary
to repeat the application. A faint of
any kind on the trunk OF the tree will
keep the rabbits from injuring 1t. Hog

VALUE OF CREAM SEPARATOR
Expert of Missouri Agricultural Col
Iege Says rs Per Cent More
Cream Secured From MILK

"The farmer who uses a cream sep
arator obtains as much milk from four
cows as is obtained from five cows
where cream is raised in pam" says
G. II. Eckles Of the Missouri College
of Agriculture. The separator method
gets 25 per cent more cream from the
milk and this will pay for separator
in a year in a dairy herd of ten or
more cows. AS the cream is separated
while fresh and sweet, ripening can be
controlled and butter of much better
grade can be secured than il the
cream is raised by gravity. The use
of a separator lightens the work for
the housewife. The machine is kept
in small room adjoining the barn and
only the separator parts are brought
from the house. These, instead Of nu-
merous pans and crooks, are returned
to the kitchen for washing after the
fresh skim milk has been fed to the
calves and pigs.
A well made separator will last for
years, in spite of the fact that it is put
into service twice day. The separa-
tor should run from four to six years
without repairs, If reasonable care is
used.

portunity to show her capacity by the
removal of her milk product as often
as seems necessary, or shall we dry
her down to suit our convenience in
milking?
AS our population and the cost of
food products increases, milk as one
of the most valuable of food products
will also increase in price. and in the
near future it will be as customary
for dairymen to milk cows three times
a day during the earlier portion OF
the lactation period as it is now to
milk but twice. Indeed, owing to the
wonderful milk-producing qualities of
Holstein-Friesian cows, in order to
avoid congestion of the udder it is the
common practice among those having
the better cows to milk three times
daily for many weeks after freshen-
ing.

The apple crop is making more
money than any other farm crop II
properly grown and marketed, accord
ing to j. c. Written Of the Missouri
College of Agriculture. Many men are
making little or nothing out Of 1t be-
cause of their failure to pIune, spray
and care for their trees. Such men
have been complaining that they could
not sell their apples, and enormous
quantities certainly were wasted in
Missouri orchards last fall. At the
same time, the growers who had prop
erly managed their orchards, graded
their fruit and put 1t into cold storage
for higher prices later in the winter
are making money out of their crops.
II the orchards are not well managed
so much of the fruit is small, scabby,
wormy or otherwise so unfit for stor-
age that satisfactory price cannot be
secured for it; so it is dumped on the
market in poor shape for immediate
use and in worse shape for storage.
Such fruit spells the market temporar-
lily, but is quickly consumed or lost,
and even this soon after Christmas
we are paying high prices again for
good apples.
The value of careful spraying is well
shown by q test in which the college
co-operated with 25 orchardists and
sprayed each orchard four times a
year at cost of $22.26 an acre. The

0rchardiSt Must Not Expect
Profitable Results If Work Is
Not Thoroughly Done.

Don't expect results il the work is
not thoroughly done.
Don't think week earlier or later

Don't overspray. A continuous even
coating should be left on the fruit and
foliage; any material which runs off

Don't think that lime-sulphur will
control apple blotch as well as bor-
deaux mixture.
Don't apply bordeaux mixture dur
ing wet weather; 1t is liable to russell
the fruit.
Don't try to get along with a ma
chine which is worn out or too small
to do good work; If the work is worth
doing it is worth doing well.
Don't fail to clean the machine
thoroughly after each spraying; it
saves much trouble when the time
comes for the next application.
Don't think that spraying alone VIII
insure good fruit; pruning and culti
walton are equally essential.
Don't think that spraying will pay

spraying is only part of the battle.

cows REQUIRE MUCH WATER
Practice Of Watering Herd But Once
Daily Is Not to Be Recommended
Three Times Is Better.

1t is a mistake to be satisfied with
watering the herd but once day. If
they can be induced to drink twice or
three times a day, it should be done.
Cows need much water.
1t has been found that the average
mich COW requires about 81 pounds
of water a day while in milk (nearly
ten gallons), and about 81 pounds
while dry. OF this, the cow in milk
takes rather more than two-thirds
(say seven gallons) as drink, and the
rest in her food, while the dry COW
takes rather less than two-thirds as
drink, and little more than one-third
in the food
