motor car manufacturers indicates that
IA miles to the gallon of gasoline is a
fair average. Assuming 10000 miles as
an average season s mileage, the gaso-
line consumption for the season would
be 7l5 gallons, costing S193.05 at 81
cents gallon. On the superstition that
: set of tires will carry a car 5000
miles, which is the makers full guar
antee, two complete sets of shoes and
tubes would be required each season, at
total average cost of 1924. Thus the
comparison favors gasoline.
In the oil trade Accent gasoline he.
fore June is regarded as highly prob
able. There were 2,O75,O00 ears Iicens-
ed in 1915, including pleasure and com
merclal vehicles. Assuming that 20 per
cent OF these will be strapped and that
100000 new cars will be manufactur
ed, there will be 1850, 900 motor driven
vehicles on the roads in 1916. Five
hundred gallons is probably a eonserv-
atlve estimate of the average annual
consumption, so that motor cars alone
will consume 1,430,O0O,OOO gallons of
gasoline in 1916. On this basis the CON
sumption by cars licensed last wear was
1907 100000 gallons, while that used
for purposes other than the propulsion
OF motor cars amounted to 462. 500. 600
gallons. Adding this latter amount In
that which motor ears may be expected
to use during the current year we have
an estimated aggregate consumption for
1916 of 1,s92, 100000 gallons, which Is
IN excess of the refining capacity of
the United States.
The gasoline situation in nutshell Is
this: Neither the supply of crude
petroleum nor the refining capacity of
the country is equal to the consump-
tive requirements. 1t is stated by re-
liners that all of the gasoline being re-
lined today is being used as fast as II
comes from the stills None is being
stored, as formerly, against the increas-
ed spring consumption Even were the
supply of crude equal to the demand.
1t could not be refined with the pres.
ent inadequate facilities Secretary
Lane calls attention to the fact that
there are some s0O,000,0OO barrels of
petroleum stored in the United States.
but as this lacks considerable of beine
years supply it would not seem to
be an excessive amount to hold in re-
serve.
Gasoline has not advanced nearly so
fast as the price of crude. Oklahoma
OIL, Tor example, has risen 800 per cent
or more, while locally gasoline has Just
about doubled. Recent figures give the
production of the mid-eontinent fields
as follows:

DEVICE TO SEPARATE CREAM
Machine Will Often Pay for Itself In
One Year, Much Depending on
Number of Cows Kept.

The cream separator is a mechani.
cal device for separating the cream
from the milk, almost instantaneously
by centrifugal force. Its advantages
over the old methods of separation
are:
l. It takes practically all the but
ter fat and will save from five to ten
dollars per COW each year over any
methods.
2. Skim milk has its greatest feed
ing value while warm. clean and
sweet.
g. The labor connected with the
care of the milk can be decreased
and the profits from the COWS greatly
increased because better quality OF
cream can be obtained.
A cream separator is an invest
ment and not an expense to anyone
who keeps five or six good cows, and
wants to make butter or sell cream.
A separator will often pay for itself
In one year, often in less time, ac-
cording to the number of cows kept.
With proper care and attention,
cream separator will last decade.

body, should at once get bottle OF
PERUNA.
AS soon as the value of PERUNA
is fully appreciated in every house
hold, both as preventive and
relief from catarrhal affections,
tens of thousands of lives will be
saved and hundreds of thousands
of chronic lingering cases will be
prevented. PERUNA, indeed, is
household safeguard.
A course of PERUNA never fails
to bring relief in such cases, since
there is no remedy like it, as

CHURNING HINTS FOR WINTER
sutter-Making Troubles May Be Over
come by Keeping Cream at the
Proper Temperature.

Troubles arising from winter butter
making may largely be overcome by
keeping the cream to be churned at
a temperature of So degrees Fahren-
heit until two days before churning,
when IT should be placed where the
temperature is about rs degrees Fair
enheit.
The cream should be kept at So to
so degrees Fahrenheit during churn-
Ing time and when the butter collects
into small nut sizes the buttermilk
should be drained off and water at a
temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit
should be poured over it, repeating
the rinsing process two or three times.
With the last rinsing, give twenty
churning revolutions and draw off the
water. To work the butter. place the
particles on a fiat board and strew the
salt over it uniformly and work just
enough to distribute the salt evenly
throughout the butter.
