BoiIinq Radiators.

The number of furiOusly steaminS
radiators to be noticed, even on the
coolest days, calls attention to the fact
that the average driver of a motor We
hicle has very vague ideas about oper-
ating his engine-and this is only one
point In which he is lacking. The pre-
vailing error seems to be in running
with full throttle and retarded spark,
a sure method of overheating the en-
CINE, and one which would o result
in disaster If the cooling apparatus
was not extremely efficient. Even as 1t
is, such practice does the engine no
good. When speed is to be reduced
the first operation is to check the
throttle until there are signs of knock
ing, when the spark may be gradually
retarded; and when increasing speed
the operation is reversed, the spark be-
ing first advanced, followed by opening
the throttle. Many a lowly mOtOrcy-
clist, with his air-cOoled motor, could
give points to the superior automobilist
on efficient and economical driving.

Every home owner who has an op-
portunity to spend a very considerable
part of his time at home desires in
his house as many features which will
contribute to his comfort as 1t Is pos
sible to include In the design. The
arrangement Of the rooms and the
character of the special features will
depend upon the personal taste Of
those who select the design. There
are certain features, however, which
are appreciated by almost anyone who
Is interested in homes.
There are features which must be
included for each member Of the fam
lily. Undoubtedly the most important
member Of the family to be considered
Is the "lady of the house." If the av-
erage family is considered. she will no

doubt spend more time in the house
than any other member. 1t also falls
to her duty to keep the house in order
and make 1t a place which will be
sufficiently attractive to hold the fam
fly at home. The preparation of meals
Is the most persistent Of duties. The
housewife cannot be expected to sue
coed in making an ideal home unless
the house is arranged to help her car
ry on her duties in her own way.
Special attention is required in the
living room to enable her to make this
room the center of attraction. The
kitchen and its connected rooms must
be arranged to eliminate lost motion.
The dining room must be fitted so that
she may make her cut glass and other
dining-room furnishings as attractive
as possible.
AS a rule the imam Of the house"
demands little more than a cheerful
and comfortable place where he may
spend his evenings. Most men, espe-
cially those who find pleasure in an
after-dinner cigar, are partial to a
house in which there Is a room which
may be fitted up as a den. In this
room there must be a comfortable

HAS NEW STEAM AUTOMOBILE
Most Of Objections to This Type Of We
hicIe Are Overcome by Detroit
Mans Invention.

AS a result of prolonged experiments
a Detroit inventor has developed a
steam power automobile which seems
to obviate most of the objections usu-
ally presented by vehicles Of its type,
says Popular Mechanics Magazine. 1t
embodies many of the best features
Of both gas and steam cars. BY
turning a switch and opening the throt-
tie the car is started almost instantly.
There are no gears, levers or clutch to
operate, while unlimited fexibility Is
afforded. From a snail's pace to a
speed of so miles an hour the car Is
said to run practically without engine
vibration. There is no noise and moth
ing to watch but the road. So far as
appearance Is concerned, the machine
would ordinarily be mistaken for a
gasoline car. Fourteen miles without
replenishlng the water supply. The
fuel is vaporized, mixed with air in a
carburetor, heated and burned in q
specially-designed combustion cham
Der. A small electric blower supplies
the necessary volume Of air while the
ignition is accomplished electrically.
The latter is the striking feature of the
system, for 1t relieves the driver of
the necessity of giving attention or
labor to the matter of firing the boiler.
In case the car stands inactive for sew
eral days about a minute and a half
is required in starting it. If, however,
it has merely been idle overnight or
during a corresponding period, 1t starts
at once.

bred stock. This belief Is not 80 strong
as 1t used to be, however, for breeders
are coming more and more to consider
the actual value Of an animal.
Inferior animals were formerly sold
for much more than their real worth
because they were imported. Such q
condition still exists to a limited ex-
tent, but at present animals are not
bought because Of the place of their
birth but because Of their breeding and
individual merit.
Don't Depend on Importation.
AS long as the demand for imported
animals was greater than the supply
many fraudulent pedigrees were used
for animals brought into this country.
This trouble with importations was
greatest previous to 1910. Inspection
of pedigrees Of imported animals In
SOM breeds, begun about this time,
has reduced this evil greatly.
IF the practice Of using imported
animals Is followed too closely stock
men become too dependent on foreign
breeders for their breeding stock"
said Professor Wentworth. "One re-
suit in this country has been to scatter
the individuals of a breed so that in
horses, particularly, few constructive
breeding establishments have been
formed. The best animals are often
taken to districts where no purebred
animals are available to mate to them.
This is a disadvantage from the stand
point Of constructive breeding but not
from that Of the average. Seed stock
should not come from average animals,
however, but from the best herds,
studs and nocks."

KEEPING TRACK OF
ALL BREEDING EWES
Practice of Utmost Importance
IN Handling Purebred Stock
Painting Is Favored.
CBy W. C.. COFFEY, Illinois Experiment
Station.)

(By ". c. CoFFEY. Illinois Experiment
Station.)
Replying to q Southern correspond
ent, the only dependable way to de-
termine when a W is in heat Is to
turn the ram with the flock. In han
ding a purebred flock, 1t is not neces-
sary to keep an exact record of the
dates of breeding. In fact, many
lambs are registered as being born in
the spring of a certain year. Some
times the month is stated, but com
paratively few breeders go to the trou-
BILE of gi- the exact date.
For r aside from the require
ments fDl clustering in the various
flock associations, it is well for the
owner to have q memorandum of about
the time the ewes are due to lamb.
Such a memorandum is a great help
to the shepherd in saving the lamb
crop. 1t can be obtained by smearihg
paint between the fore-legs of the ram
every day through the breeding sea-
son. This paint should be of a kind
not injurious to the wool. Ewes come
in heat about every 16 days. During
the first 16 days the ram may be paint
ed close to the right fore-leg. Ewes
served during this period will be
marked on the right side Of the rump.
For the next 16 days the paint may

able rim and the wounded tire, slip the
good n on its place, screw the nuts
back In place, mount the wounded tire
in the place of the good one and drive
of with Il light heart and a back which
was not tired out and n temper which
was not frazzled to tatters. But when
1t came to removing the wounded tire
from the first designs of these de-
mOuntable rims the same old trouble
was encountered, 1t was no chlld's
play; about the only difference was
that the job was done at home when
II had plenty of time and tools to use
in doing 1t. 1t was still 10 fun to take
the old tire off this rim and put a new
n on in its place, or to put 1t back
after 1t had been repaired. This is
where the tool shown in the accom-
panying picture came in to help things
considerably. BY means Of it, this

HINTS FOR WINTER
EXPERT TELLS MOTORISTS HOW
TO AVOID FROST DAMAGES.
Use Rich Gas Mixture in Starting Mo.

freezing Solution for the
Radiator.

Every year motorists find them
selves overlooking the fact that Jack
Frost is no respectOr of persons and
automobiles and that he will go out
Of his way to pay his respects to the
radiator and c%Ongealing the water
therein-and in the water jackets of
the cylinders-cause a pretty repair
car for a week or more. Pointing out
how owners can get the most service
and pleasure out Of their cars during
the winter months, an expert said:
1.-THE first fall Of snow no longer is
viewed with alarm by motorcar own
ers-it no longer is the signal for
them to put their cars away until
spring. More and more car owners
are coming to realize that in keeping
their cars in dead storage for three
or four months every year they are
carrying an idle investment, besides
doing the car more harm than good.

motor by providing a rich gas mix
ture. Prime the carburetor in the
usual way, or, better still, choke the
air inlet. Some cars have this car
buretOr adjustment plunger conven-
iently located on dash. Not all Of the
gasoline in the rich mixture will reach
the cylinder-much of it will condense
on the cold walls of the intake mani
fold. So you will understand why it Is
wise to provide as rich a mixture at
the carburetor as is possible, and the
careful owner will take this means of
removing a good share of the burden
from his battery.
Take warning now and provide
yourself with a few gallons of dena-
tured alcohol and when the weather
turns in a decided manner feed a little
into the radiator, thus insuring your
self against damage that surely will
come otherwise. The proportions de-
pend upon the temperature. 1t will

hol to prevent freezing mt % degrees,
and a 23-per-cent solution will take

zero. AS low as 10 below, the solution
should be 80 per cent, and if the mer-
curry happens to drop to Is degrees
below the percentage will be 30 Of
alcohol, whereas ten more degrees be-
low will require a 4O-per-cent solution.
At present prices glycerin is out of
the question as an antifreezing agent
besides, alcohol is far better and
cheaper, even If 1t does tend to evapo-
rate easily.
"Cover your radiator when the car
Is allowed to stand idle, and If it is

attention TO feet
OF GROWING COLTS
Little Care Will Prevent Develop
ment of Crooked Ankles and
Unbalanced Action.

CBy w. l.. BLIZZARD. Department of
Animal Husbandry, Oklahoma A. and
M. College. Stillwater.)
1t Is well to see that the colts feet
are level and the toes comparatively
short. A little attention will prevent
the development of crooked ankles and
unbalanced action later IN. The bOny
structure is pliable then, SO that much
can be done to remedy faulty action,
which will be impossible after the
bones have hardened and stopped
growing.
1t Is absolutely necessary and very
profitable to properly care for the feet
of growing colts. If left to nature,
the foot does not always grow out full
and strong and Of the proper shape.
When the feet are left go, they do not
wear properly, the result Is that the
feet split, become uneven and very
often the entire leg may be altered in
form. This is one Of the reasons for
so many bad-footed horses upon the
streets Of any city. The blacksmith
may get the blame, but most Of the
trouble really began upon the farm.
To grow feet in the proper way, the
colts feet should be looked after at
least once q month.

RIGHT SPEED FOR SEPARATOR
Often Nearly One-HaIf Of Fat May Be
Found In Skim Milk When Ma.
chine Is Run Slowly.

As much as so per cent variation in
the richness of cream may be obtained
by variation in speed Of operating the
separator. If normal speed is 55
turns of the crank per minute, rs turns
will bring rich cream and 25 turns will
bring thin cream. A great deal of fat
Is lost in the skim milk when low speed
Is used. Sometimes nearly one-half of
the fat may be found in the skim milk
when the separator has been run too
slowly. This demonstrates the fact
that there is only n speed for eco
nomical operation Of the separator,
and that Is the right speed. This speed
Is indicated on the crank handle.

FEEDING LAMBS TO
SECURE BEST GAINS
Result Of Experiment Conducted
at South Dakota Station-AI-
faIfa Hay Best.

(By PROF. JAMES w. WILSON, South
Dakot Experiment Station.)
The best gains ever secured at the
South Dakota experiment station in
feeding lambs was in an experiment
to determine the comparative value of
alfalfa and prairie hay with the same
kind Of a grain ration. The grain ra-
ton consisted Of a mixture of 100
pounds Of oats, 100 pounds Of shelled
corn and 25 pounds of oilmeal.
Each lot was started on one pound
per head of the mixture daily, and in.
creased until they were receiving two
and two-tenths pounds per head of
grain daily, and what hay they would
eat.
The average daily gain per head for
the lot that received the alfalfa hay
was 81 of a pound, while with the lot
that received the prairie hay, the av.
erage daily gain per head was .3S of
a pound. These lambs were as near
the same in age and weight as was
possible to get them.

The young sons of the house require
