KEROSENE BAD FOR TIRES
Nothing bu: Water Is Used When
Washing Them.

Washing tires and washing cars are
two different propositions. Water alone
should be used to wash tires ard as
little of it IS necessary. After every
run the tires should be wiped with
damp sponge or weil-wruug cloth.
A COMMON method when washing
car is TO mix kerosene with the wa
ter. This may be advisable when wash
ing the woodwork to remove mud and
dust from the yarnish. but no kero-
sene should be permitted to reach the
tires, because kerosene eats rubber
This fact can be readily proved by
immersing small piece of rubber in
kerosene and allowing it to soak The
rubber will soon swell and lose its
elasticity. The reason for this is ap-
parent. Kerosene is rich in fatty
properties. which remains after the
evaporation Of TIE gases.
When washing tires 1t is best to
use a damp sponge and clean water,
care being taken that the sponge is
not soaked and dripping. After wash
ing the tires they should be wiped
dry with cloth or a handful Of waste.

WAY TO PREVENT EGG EATING
Provide Low. Covered Nests and Dark
as Possibie-Dose Of Cayenne
Pepper Is Good.

A good way of preventing egg-eating
is to provide low. covered nests. II
is also a good idea TO have the nests
as dark as possible. This can be done
by stretching a curtain partly across
one corner of the house and having
all the nests In the darkened corner.
Barely enough light should enter for
the hens to see the nests The nests
should be covered and SO low that the
hen barely has room to creep on and
Oh. When unable to stand upright
in a nest. II is impossible for her to
get at the eggs with her beak-
Another method that Is often recon-
mended is to give ;he egg-eate a
good dose OF cayenne pepper. This
is done by making a small opening in
the end of an egg and drawing of
part OF its contents. The egg 10
then filed with cayenne pepper. which
mixes with the egG-substance left in
the shell. When ready. the egg is
placed in full view on the poultry.

MARKETING THE DUCKS EGGS
Most Buyers Make No Quotations Elk
cept Early in Sprins-Pure White
Egg Preferred.

The demand for ducks eggs at n
as general as the demand for hens
eggs. The quality of ducks eggs on
the average market was poor until
people began to keep Indian Runner
ducks and to build up trade in first
class eggs. A good demand for ducks
prices usually several cents dozen
higher than for hens eggs. but during
the rest Of the year the average price
for ducks eggs has been about the
same as for hens eggs.
Most buyers make no quotations
for ducks eggs except early in the
spring. Since three ducks eggs weigh
about the same as four hens eggs,
ducks do not appear to be as profita-
bic for the production OF market eggs
as fowls.
A trade is being established gradual
ly in some markets for fancy nearby
ducks eggs which bring higher prices
than hens eggs, ami the demand
seems TO be increasing. Pure white
eggs are preferred and usually bring
the highest price. These eggs should
be marketed frequently. as they de-
preciate in quality more rapidly than
hens eggs, especially In hot weather
The market for eggs should be inves-
tigated carefully by those who intend
to raise breeds OF the egg-laying type
OF ducks, such as the indian Runner.

Unnecessary on Machine.

Let us consider the case OF the muf

still under a pressure of from twenty.

II provides chamber in which these
exhausted gases may expand and cool
somewhat and at the same time breaks
up the pressure by allowing il TO leak
out slowly through a number of very
small holes instead OF letting IL loose
in one big noise"
In the early history OF the automo-
bile mufilers were not used and every
body for blocks around knew when an
auto was coming. AS the automobiles
increased in number this became a
nuisance and was stopped by law.
Then they sought--indeed had been
seeking-a means Of sitting the sound
In the early muffler there was trouble

motor. II was thought there was no
way 10 decrease the sound without de-
creasing the power; therefore the au-
tomobiie manufacturers devised a
valve to cut out the muller on the
car whenever extra power was desired.
Sometimes the back pressure was so
great as 10 interfere when driving
through heavy roads or up hills. The
cut out" let the gas exhaust directly
into the air instead of going through
the muffier. At the present time near.
ly every city has Law prohibiting the
use OF muffler cut outs
As a matter Of fact. those well posted
on automobile engines understand to-
day that the cut out" is absolutely
unnecessary if the muller is kept in
proper condition. Mufier manufactur-
ers have been able to produce design
with which there is no back pressure
at all.
The average driver, however. does
not know that his muller needs as
careful attention as any other part OF
the mechanism and so he neglects il.
In these days of noiseless cars it re,
quires a great number or very small
openings inside the muller. These be

the exhaust. The deposit collects very
rapidly. especially when the grade Of
the oil is poor or too much oil is used
II also results when the carburetor is
adjusted TO give too rich a mixture
When these small openings become
clogged the exhaust gas cannot escape
readily and naturally the cylinder OF
the engine is not clean at the exhaust
stroke. Result: II is impossible 20
bring in full cylinder Of new gas on
the next intake stroke. There is not a
full charge to explode and this means
a loss OF power 10 the engine.

Many words OF housewifeiy wisdom

young bride on all subjects from man
aging husbands to tackling trainps.
And some OF them were now being

youthful house mistress felt touched,
but determined to follow her mothers
precepts.

wheat and whole kafr should take IN,
place Of the cracked grains. Whole
kafir is a splendid feed for young
chicks.
Where an abundant supply OF sour
milk is not available il will be found
necessary to add half a pound of corn
and meat scrap to the dry mash after
the first week. This should gradually
be increased TO reach four pounds at
the end of the fourth week.
Fond Of Onions.
When the hatch is brought of
early and there is not an abundance OF
green shoots. it will be found benefi-
c!sl TO feed an onion once or twice
daily. Slice the onion crosswise so as
TO form rings. Onion is highly rel
ished by young chicks and is especial
ly desirable on cold. damp days. Later
in the season. when it is possible to
allow the young chicks to run out for
green food. the question OF exercise
does not need to be considered.
One of the most important features
in raising young chicks is not to over
Attus diV Oht Va khc utol ihNlAOdS VI
feeding is 10 allow the young chicks
all they care TO eat until noon, at
which time they should be allowed to
become hungry, even TO the point OF
crying a little. At night they should
be given a liberal supply Of feed SO
they will go under the hover with full
crops.
Comfort Is Keynote.
The keynote to success in raising
young chicks is comfort. II the chicks
are given sufficient to eat and plenty
OF exercise and are not allowed to be-
come chilled they will thrive and re-
turn ample profit for the care given
them. They must have a properly con-
structed hover where the heat is suf-
ficient to warm them quickly il they
become chilled. All their quarters
must be kept perfectly dry and clean.

The two most important factors in

food, according to " L. Harris. super

ris. One OF the first feeds that the
young chick should receive is fine sand

drink Of sour milk or buttermilk il

Incubator chicks are caused by lack OF
grit than by any other one hing.

UNLIMITED RANGE FOR HENS
Fowls Should Be Given Free
dom Of Stables and Sheds.

Unlimited range has its advantages.
but IL unlimited range means that the
fowls have the privileges of the sta
bles, wagon sheds and roosting on the
wheels and machinery. then the I'M
limited range is a nuisance. To give
poultry plenty OF room does not imply
that the fowls should go where they
please. A hen has no place in a stable
any more than a COW has any right
in a poultryhouse.
Little by little the droppings accum-
ulate during the season until every
thing is too filthy to handle. and the
work of cleaning will be more than the
real value OF the fowls. Keep poultry
away from other stock.
