CHURNING TEMPERATURES.

In churning, the butter should come In
half an hour. If it does not, 1t usually
means that the cream Is too warm or
too cold. Professor Keithley, Of the
North Dakota Agricultural college, has
found that in the winter about so de-
grees is the best churning temperature
and in the summer So to So. There are
several factors that have to be consid-
cred. Cream from a COW that has just
freshened should be churned at lower
temperature than cream from a COW
we'll along in her milking period. Such
feeds as grass, alfalfa hay, oil meal and
silage produce a cream that can be
chuTned at lower temperatures, while
timothy and prairie hay, straw. corn
fodder and cotton seed meal produce
cream requiring a higher churning
temperature. A dairy thermometer is
a necessity in butter making. The SS
cents that it costs may easily be saved

North Dakota banking institutions
are ready to back the farmers of the
state in handling their spring seeding
operations. and. according to Fargo
bankers who have made a study Of the
situation. land owners generally are
giving more thoroughgoing attention
to their work this season than In
previous years.
1.-THE farmers are not, so far as we
can find entering into the season
operations without due consideration
of the many obstacles that must be
overcome before the grain is harvest
ed. They are giving consideration to
the problem of labor, and many are
arranging to plant their lands to such
grains as will mature in such manner
as to permit the harvesting operations
to be conducted over a period of sew
eral weeks. thus doing away with the
possibility of serious grain losses by
reason of not being able to properly
handle the grain at maturity" said

of the Babbitt- Poison company yester-
day afternoon. Advices to this effect
have recently been received from the
Jordan factory, although the extent of
the increases was not made known.
In this regard, Mr. Burkhead stated
that from word received from the var
son company represents, it is highly
probable that increases will be effected
on all machines, including Maxwells,
Jordans, Bucks and Haynes.
In most instances, the companies
have found it necessary to increase
prices on at least one previous occa-
sion because of the high cost of mater
ials Recent advances in raw products,
they state. have been much larger than
anticipated at the outset of the sea-
SON. with the result that additional adj
vances are now necessary.
Activities of the Babbitt-Polson COM
pany during the past day or so have
been at a standstill, due to the fact
that the stock of machines was entire
" exhausted. 1t was the first time in
many months THAT the company was
completely sold out.

NEW STUDEbAKER

The Studebaker new series IS cars.
which are now on display at the Har-
mon Motor company, with many new.
special and exclusive Improvements
are fine cars-that, at least, is the
opinion of hundreds of motor enthusi-
asts who have already viewed the
latest product of the Studebaker fac
tories.
Among the exclusive Studebaker
features as embodied in the series lS
cars are many long felt needs desired
by motorists. Genuine leather Is used
in all upholstery while the front seats
are individual and are adjustable, for
ward or back to suit the height of the
driver and his companion. The back
of the front seats is covered full length
with leather. The right-hand front
seat is instantly reversible, which
means that the passenger can face for
ward or passengers in the tonneau.
The head lamp is mounted on the
apron of the front fender and is held
in a ball-and socket attachment, which
permits wide range of focus. This
lamp mounting is beautiful and dis
tinctlvely Studebaker.
The auxiliary seat. which is an arm
chair in reality and comfort. is some
thing new to motor industry. 1t folds
up and disappears under the tonneau
seat when not in use, thus leaving the
tonneau as unobstructed as that of
five passenger car, and the carpet
free from cuts or gashes, and no ugly
recess in the back of the front seats

grade silk mohair. the edges trimmed

ARTERY CARE
REPAYS OWNER.

One of the very definite costs in the
to the proprietor of the Willard Service
Station. is electrical current.
Most motorists" says Mr. Pafford
of the Schweitzer Machine Co of this
city. are inclined to regard the cleo
trical current with which they crank
their engine and light their road at
night, was free gift of the manufac-
turer. Something which. like the frame
or wheels of their car, Is part of the car
and needs no attention whatever.
TO a certain degree if a motorist
is careful. the ectric current consumed
is almost a gift. 1t is "a byproduct of
the energy of the motor. But, the bat
terry which holds the energy in readi-
ness for instant use. Will not last for
ever. 1t Is going to wear out in time.
The price of battery then, spread
over the length of time that the battery
lasts, might be called the cast of the
elecric curren.
Added to this are other necessary
costs. For instance, the wise motorist
has his battery taken down and thor
oughly inspected and perhaps the in
sulation renewed every season. This
adds to the cost of electric cranking
and lighting. In winter. if he stores
his car he will see that his battery is
left in safe hands This means stor-
ing at the Willard service station or
in a similar place in charge of a bat
terry expert. This again adds to the
cost of electricity on the automobile.
THE motorists who realize the i'm
portance of his storage battery has no
further cost than this. Care is neces-
sary, however, If he is to keep his
battery cost at this minimum He
must see to it that his battery is filled
regularly with distilled water. He
must have his battery tested regularly
with the hySrometer syringe. either
doing this himself or letting the ser
vice station do it. He should take ad-
vantage of all the battery service that
is offered by battery manufacturers,
for by keeping in touch with service
stations and letting the expert look
the battery over, he is very frequently
able to forestall battery trouble He
should see that his battery is neither
starved nor overheated. In short he
should keep an eye on his battery and
give the same attention that he does
the other parts of his machine.
"Of course the cost of the electric
conveniences on an automobile varies
with the car-owner. A DOCTOR for in
stance, who makes short runs and
many stops, naturally involving a
great deal of cranking. must auusredly
| have his battery charged occasionally
at the service station; for the machine
| has not run far enough to allow the
| generator to restore the energy to the
battery that is used after cranking.
| The man who does a lot of driving at
night and practically none in the day
time will frequently find it necessary
to have his battery charged.
THE point is this: To keep the
| cost of the electricity at the lowest
possible point, the owner must take
care of the battery. He must not ex
pect the battery to last long as the
mechanical parts of his car; ard just
as regularly as he has the engine
torn down to insure its perfect run
] ming, so he should have his battery
