Dr.. 5. w. Allen Says
Don's Bull is Fine

Discussing the matter of crops,
which, SO far as wheat is concerned,
are poor this year, and suggesting the
ad~visability of diversifying more
freely and getting into s~tock-raising
to a greater extent, DR.. S. w. Allen
spoke of the many fields Of clover
and alfalfa and other forage crops to
be seen in the northern part Of South
Dakota, as compared with farming
conditions a decade ago, and added
that many fine herds of blooded stock
are now to be seen here and there
in a drive through tn country. There
are some exceptionally fine individual
animals, too, among the various
herds of cattle, sheep, horses and
hogs.
Have you any particular herds or
individuals in mind at this moment ~
DR.. Allen was asked by a reporter.
Wei, yes" replied DR., Allen, zone
individual ! might mention is the
Shorthorn bull Of the milking strain
at the head Of the herd owned by
Don Livingston Of this city. This
bull comes direct from the Glenside
herd of Greenville Center, Pa, and
is as fine an individual as / have seer
this side of the international Show
ring. He is a deep red and white
color, beautiful body lines, excellent
bone, has a typical dairy head, and
the softest texture OF coat and skin,
combining all the good points that
go to make a typical dual purpose
animal, inc that will produce a COW
worth her weight in gold as a mixer
and a steer that win top the mar
kets. His mother at thirteen years
Of age has a record Of 10000 pounds
of milk. This bull weighs over a ton
and could be made to weigh $500,
His half brothers are at the head
of herds in the University of Ten
nessee and other state Institutions

The electric system Of the auto
mobile is undoubtedly a most important
Likewise. 1t is quite compll-
Gated. To many operators the arc
1T the spark plug is unknown as TO
source. We all know that the motor
will not run without the spark, but few
understand how It Is created for the pur-
pose in which 1t is employed.
The ignition system has commanded the
attention Of the best engineers ever since
the automobile first made its appearance.
1t has passed through many stages Of
until at present very little
trouble Is experienced. The diff
Guilty has been not SO much with con-
Quoting or using the current as In Great
ing n suitable supply for the purpose
needed. The modern. efficient. high
speed motor must have a quick hot spark
delivered at the plug. correctly timed and
positive in delivery. That Is to say. in
the high speed motor there can be nc
lag to the spark neither can there be
much variation OF intensity. IL the best
results are to be obtained.
In the early days of the automobile
various means were employed to pro-
duCe Ignition. A naked fafne was used
and exposed to the gas when ready for
ignition. This was s%upplanted by the
ho, tube. Later. II platinum wire. he ated
by current. was used. While ignition OF
the gas was effected there was no
amount OF reliability. Soon the battery
was brought into service as "A source OF
curren, and used In conjunction with an
induction coil TO produce roper ignition.
Probably the dry cell battery was the
first type used as a source OF current.
The dry cell is made up OF a zinc shell
carbon c%entreplece and an electrolyte.

APPROACH OF WARM

0verhauling Yachts to Have

Begin Soon.
GREAT MASS OF DETAILS

A. soon as the weather settles overs
will BE- taken off thousands of yachts
since the close of last season have
been protected snugly from wind and
weather. 1t will need only a few days
OF warm sunshi0e to make the owners Of
these boats get busy. With many this
work Of fitting out is just az enjoyable
az tho sailing or motoring later on. In
tho big yards where many of the best
yachts are kept work already has been
started under cover of sheds. but II is
on the water front from Jamaica Ray
to Spuy.en Duyvil where the most
activity will be. There on SATURDAY.
afternoons and sundays and later. when

getting the boats shipshape so that BY
next month they may be put into the
water.
The owner who did not start work
last fall will find he has a considerable
job ahead Of him, for the unusually
severe weather and heavy storms OF the
winter have played all sorts Of tricks
with the boats laid up In many cases
tho SHOWS have broken down the can
