] find that two of the cylinders of
my motor are badly scratched on the
inner walls. Can anything be done 10
remedy this or do you think the fitting
of new piston rings will counteract the
trouble Tom. W.
Your engine has in all probability
been run with insufficient fabrication
for some time. Fitting new piston5
will not do any good and you are faced
with about three alternatives. As
your cylinders are cast separately you
could purchase two new ones and have
them installed, but as this would be
relatively costly proceeding you could,
as one alternative, have the two scored
cylinders rebored and new oversize
pistons fitted. This could only be done
if the cylinders were sufficiently thick
to stand the process Of reboring. IL Is
possible TO repair cylinders which have
been injured in this way by a process
Of oxy-acetylene welding by which
new material is fused into the grooves
and the excess material ground out to
level with the normal bore. Be
guided by advice from a practical me-
chanic who has inspected the cylinders
and do not forget TO have the lubri-
eating system overhauled thoroughly.
Ny 1915 car has been missing badly
at high speeds. | cannot trace where
the fault, II any, lies as everything has
been recently overhauled and | am not

trouble originates.-M. L. c.
Misfring in this particular case may
be caused by the commutator. Inspect
this closely and observe if the circle
around which the roller travels is clean
and smooth and If the roller makes
perfect contact at all points. II the
roller fails on any one Of the four con-
tact points il means that its CORE
spending cylinder will not fire. If
there Is no other defect, such as worn
fibre, 1t will be sufficient TO thoroughly
clean these surfaces. II other parts
are worn it will be necessary to re
place them with new ones.

Why should one spark plug, the
front one only, get dirty and cause the
cylinder TO miss? have replaced this
plug with new one several times, but
the result is always the same.-Bronx
In all probability the trouble is
traceable 20 faulty piston rings, which
admit lubricant TO the combustion
chamber. Examine these and also In
spect the piston which may be a con-
tributory cause. If the piston proves
TO be loose in the cylinder it will mean
a new piston at any rate, and perhaps
the cylinder itself may need regrind-
ing and the fitting of an oversize pIs-
ton. II both piston and cylinder are
in good shape the fitting of new rings
should end your troubles.

it were legal, against selling any
COWS under ten years of age.

by growing calves and feeders

Get in bulls but do not sell COWS.
Two specialists of the Extension

Raise Sheep.

A small flock of sheep on
farm is always profitable, no
matter what the market condi-
tons of mutton and wool. Since
August 1914 the destruction Of
wooden goods in Europe has ex-
ceeded that of any ten years
preceding. The war has also re-
duced the holdings of sheep both
in England and Australia. For
ten years wool is bound to COM
mand a good price and all meats
will be high. The Extension
Division of the University of
Arkansas and the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture with Offices
at Fayetteville and Little Rock
want to promote the growing of
all kinds of live stock, and buile-
tins will be sent free on sheep,
hogs, cattle and horses.

Prison Reform Lecture.

Rev. L. Tonne, superlnten-
dent of the Arkansas Children's
Home Finding Society, was in
the city Friday, Saturday and
Sunday. He preached a sermon
at the Baptist Church Sunday
morning and delivered a lecture
on prison reform at the Metho-
dist Church Sunday evening.
Having served Is months as
Chaplain of the Arkansas State
Penitentiary, Rev. Tonne was
quite familiar with the conditions
and able to give US some infor-
nation which we could not learn
otherwise.
He severely criticised the pre-
sent system and gave numbers
of references Of lack of business
as we'll as humane regulation.
He did not fail to call names and
state facts as they are and we
hope to see the awful conditions
there that now exist cleaned up
by our next governor which we
are sure he will do.
The speaker stated that the
state pays three commissioners
who have charge of the peniten-
tiary So, 100000 year each or
more than twice as much as we
pay our governor who has charge
of the entire state. In his argu-
ment for prison reform Rev.
Tonne stated that it meant good
roads and more good homes.
In describing the conditions he
stated that three or four men are
forced to battle in the same wa
ter, that the prisons are provided
with poor ventilation and are
kept very unsanitary. All the
men wash in one trough and
drink from one tin cup with
which they dip the water from
barrel. Stealing and gambling
and the illegal selling of whiskey
is permitted and in some in
stances forced inside the walls.
he said that We need segrega-
ton as the best and youngest pri-
soners are kept with the vilest
and that good, Christian men
should be placed in charge, Civ
ing the men chance to do and
oe better, gradually working
thelr way up and out of the pen.
During his term as chaplain,
ne went to the electric chair with
i've men and boys, one of whom
was Arthur Hodges. Quite a
noeral donation was made to the
society which he represents and
we nope ne will continue his mes
sage OF kindness in behalf of the
s'a'e convicts and that great
good will result therefrom.
