HINTS FOR DRIVERS
WeII-C0nsidered Remarks That
Are Worthy of Most Care
full Attention.
KNOW AND OBEY THE LAWS
Autost Who Is Not Familiar With
Traffic Regulations Is a Nuisance
on the Road--Proper Regard
for Rights of Others
Essential.

A knowledge of the traffic regula-
lions in your nearest market town
may save accidents and embarrassing
| fines. AS the number of motor cars
are increasing in farming communities
it becomes necessary for every driver
| to obey the laws to insure his own
safety as well as to protect the lives
of others, writes r. G. Kirby in Mich
| igan Farmer.
Two miles from our farm an expen-
| sive touring car spent two days in a
ditch 20 feet deep. 1t did not get
there because of careful driving and
| observance of the road rights of 9th
ers. Another car skidded off the road
and broke an axle and no one blamed
slow, sensible driving for that acct
dent. Probably the roads of this state
are not modelled after the Indianap-
oils speedway and 1t is too bad that
many fools may have to die before
finding it out.
Heavily loaded milk wagons and hay
wagons deserve some consideration
from the motorist. Often the horses
cannot quickly pull their loads to the
side of the road to give passing room
and as farm products must be market
ed, little judgment on the part of
some drivers is doubtlessly appreciat-
ed by the farmers.
There is a state law requiring dim
mers on automobile headlights and aft
or ctnnninO Inv tho road in
places on many occasions to wait for
the dinners to act, am inclined to
think that the law needs some rigid
enforcement in some communities.
Some drivers refuse to dim their lights
until nearly parallel with passing
may occur.
When passing another machine it is
no reflection on your efficiency as a
driver if you slow down and allow the
other car plenty of room. This is es-
pecially necessary at night when there
are deep bitches on each side of the
road and careless steering may result
fatally.
Steam cars and interurbans demand
a wholesome respect from the motor
list. They travel many feet per second
and it is difficult to calculate how fast
they are coming so it pays to wait by
the track and only pass when the way
Is safe.
A loud horn is an asset to a motor
list in an emergency such as warning
children who are playing in the road,
but it can be abused. Don't drive up
behind horses and brighten them, or
delight in producing shocks on your
neighbours nerves. A moderate pres
sure on the horn will usually be effec-
tive and will not disgust the passing
driver.

CALL FOR STATISTICS
WRITER WANTS MORE FIGURES
AS TO THE AUTO.
Its Real Effect or the Life of the Ma.
ton Has Not Been Made Suf-
ficientIy Plain.

Economists with passion for ana
Lying figures have fertile field for
study in the automobile statistics pre-
pared by the United States department
of agriculture. To say that last year
there were 2,445664 motor vehicles
registered in the United States and
that the owners paid $1S,245,718 in
registration and license fees is the
smallest part of the story.
To boast that in Iowa there was
one motor vehicle for every sixteen in
habitants is to testify to the farmers
prosperity, which has been no secret.
But how much of the hundreds of mil
lions of dollars invested in automobiles
is productive investment for the own
ers? How much of it represents ex-
penditures for pleasure that brings no
economic return? How far has the
automobile contributed to economies in
business? How much has it added to
the general cost of living, in the pro-
motion of luxury and ease among all
classes of people? In the creation of
for wage-earners?
To make up balance sheet for the
whole nation would be an endless task.
Before it was begun the figures would
be out of date. There was an increase
of 1874 1875 motor vehicles in 1914 alone
in the United States.
Some day, however, a social survey
revolving around the automobile must
be made. Everything else connected
with the family income and the family
expenditures has been tabulated,
turned over and scrutinized. 1t still
remains to be settled positively what is
the minimum wage on which a respec-
table American, faithful to modern
standards of living, can keep a car

law for New York state have been
agreed upon by the State Federation
of Automobile clubs and the State Au-
tomobile association. 1t is expected
that the next legislature will adopt the

tofore having been to get parties in
terested to agree. The features are
similar to those of the Massachusetts
law and require that the direct rays
from an automobile headlight shall not
travel at a greater height than AZ
inches above the ground at distance
of 100 feet. The New York measure
has been drawn to agree with the anti

Valve Aids Tire Safety.

An automobile tire valve which acts
as safety valve has been patented.
The purpose of the invention is to
relieve a tire automatically of ex-
cessive pressure caused by weather
conditions or high speed. This valve
is in reality an especially designed
cap which fits on any standard tire
valve stem in place of the ordinary
dust cap.
A rubber gasket is used to make the
connection air tight. The valve can
be set for any desired pressure, and
when changing conditions increase the
tire pressure to the point designated,
sufficient quantity of air will be
released automatically to bring the
pressure down.
The adjustment can take place while
the car is running. The device by
its operation tends to prolong the life
of tire and to prevent accidents
resulting from blowouts which occur
while running at high speed.

(By DIR. r. H. WILLIAMS, Animal Hus-
bandman, University of Arizona Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.)
Every farmer should keep a small
flock of sheep. They cost little for
feed, for they act as weed scaven-.
gers, and grow into marketable prod
lcts at an early age. There are also
many waste places on farms which
may be utilized for sheep production.
Another advantage of sheep is that
they require little labor. They come
as near solving the ''hired help prob
lem" as any other kind of mixed farm
ing. Lambs milk the ewes at some
what regular intervals and they sep
arate the milk and store away the
product without the use of cans or re-
frigeration. When a farmer sees a
bulge on his side of the market, the
and Industrious lambs are
asked to trot to market carrying all
the milk and worry with them. 1t is
ike finding money, for the sheep have
paid their way in wool, fertilizer, and
n the destruction of weeds.

this in view, the sow should be so fed
and managed as to enable her to do
her work to the very best advantage.
A sow should remain in the herd as
long as useful. A good, steady SOW,
with well developed teats can usually
be depended upon to repeat the per-
Torrance. If the sow is properly han
died and fails to fulfill her duties, the
sow has no business on the farm, and
the quicker she is found out and dis
posed of the better. Feeding is mat
ter OF the most Importance, for the
brood sow as she needs the right kind
of feed for three important purposes:
For the maintenance of her own body;
for the growth of her own body; for
the development of the fetal pigs.

Lock to Prevent Car Thefts.

With a new lock the mixture of gas
and air is cut off as it leaves the
carburetor and enters the intake man.
fold. At the same time the ignition
circuit is broken, a simple movement
of a switch accomplishing both results.
In other words, you cannot stop the
engine without locking the car. Even
if a thief were to go to the trouble of
saving through the steel housing of
the flexible shaft which connects the
lock head with the intake manifold
attachment, he would be no better
off, as in this event the gate which
shuts off the mixture becomes perma-
nently closed until the entire locking
mechanism is removed.

HOGGING OFF CORN
is EXCELLENT PLAN
When Crop Is Fed in Field Where
Grown, Plant Food Is Re-
turned to the Soil.

The advantages Of hogging off corn
are as follows:
1. More pork produced from the
corn crop.
2. Rapid and economical gains are
made by the hogs.
8. Labor and expense is saved in
harvesting and marketing the corn
crop.
f. Crib space is saved because corn
that is hogged off does not have to be
stored.
3. The cornstalks are in better con-
dition for the growing of next years
crop.
6. The corn crop is fed in the field
where grown, thus the plant food con-
tanned in the crop is, to a large ex-
tent, returned TO the soil.
z. The manure produced by the hogs
is evenly scattered over the land.

BROOD sow GOOD AS
A MORTGAGE LITTER
Oft Repeated Remark Never
More True Than at Present
Returns Quickly Made.

Animal Husbandry. oklahoma A, and
NJ. College, Stillwater)
The oft-repeated quotation that
the brood SOW is the mortgage lift
er" was never more true than at the
present time. There is no animal
kept on the farm that will so surely
and quickly return a profit upon feed
consumed and care given as the brood
sow.
A hog will produce a pound Of in
crease for every four of five pounds
of feed consumed, while fattening cat
tie will require from 10 to ID pounds
to produce the same amount of in
crease. They are more prolific than
any other kind of live stock. They are
absolutely essential to the economic
utilization of waste products on the
beef, dairy, grain, fruit and vegetable
farm.
Profitable Sow.
The SOW that proves most profitable
is the one that is large and roomy,
carrying a strong back, wide loin, full
hams, large heart-girth, indicating con-
stitution, plenty of bone, standing well
on strong legs. Select sows from
good-sized filters. The sow that car
ries good length and depth of body
generally proves the most prolific.
Quality should not be overlooked, but
n the search for quality, do not sacri-
fee substance. nor select delicate AMI
mails. Uniformity in a herd of sows
is very important. A uniform bunch
of sows will produce a more uniform
lot of pigs, and a uniform lot of pigs
will feed better, look better when fat,
and sell better on the market.
Sow's Business.
Sows are not kept for the purpose
of eating feed merely. Their business
is to farrow pigs and to nurse them
to point where they can be fed. With

Repairs Won't Stick.

Trouble is often experienced in get
ting the tread to stick on small re-
pairs. This might be due to any one of
several reasons, the most common of
which is applying cement over wet fab
rio. The moisture in the fabric, even
if very slight, will blow the tread
loose from the fabric. Another COM
mon cause for loose treads is the fail
ure to roughen up the old carcass suf-
ficiently. In this case the cement will
not hold properly and after a few
miles of running the repair will sep
arate. 1t is also well to make sure
that proper pressure is being applied
to the repair when il is curing.

ments commonly used, before this
from 10 to 20 pounds of grain per
day during the fattening period. Mr.
Hacker never succeeded in feeding
IL pounds. To feed steer from the
time he weighs 100 pounds until lie
weighs 1000 pounds, according to the
tests, requires ON the average the fol
lowing amounts of feed: Grain,
3,2SS.2 pounds-consisting Of approx
imately IS bushels of corn, 5A bushels
of barley, 91s bushels of oats, 76S
pounds of bran, 645 pounds of oil
meal and 1913 pounds of middlings;
2,S99.5 pounds If hay, and 3,240.9
pounds of silage.

than heavy gains for a few weeks that
could not be maintained.
The cost Of producing additional
gains increases as the cattle become
heavier The tests show that the cost
of feeding calves to a weight of 100
pounds is about 10 cents a pound.
From 200 to 300 pounds the feed costs
40 cents pound. A pound in the
900 to 1,O0O-pound period costs 9.3
cents, and in the 1,400 to 1,500-pound
period it costs 1914 cents.
1t is believed that when less grain
is fed and more roughage given to
beef cattle the production of beef will
become more common.
