able rim and the wounded tire, slip the
good one on it's place. screw the nuts
back in place, mount the wounded tire
in the place of the good one and drive
off with a light heart and back which
was not tired out and a temper which
was not frazzled to tatters. But when
it came to removing the wounded tire
from the first designs of these de-
mountable rims the same old trouble
was encountered, it was no child's
play; about the only difference was
that the job was done at home when
one had plenty of time and tools to use
in doing it, 1t was still no fun to take
the old tire off this rim and put new
one on in its place, or to put it back
after it 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
clincher type of demountable rim can
be easily and quickly contracted at it's
joint so the tire can be slipped off very
readily; it also holds the rim contract

BABY BEEF PRODUCT
HAS FINE PROSPECT
Even Wisconsin's High-Priced
Land Offers Good 0ppor-
tunity for the Producer.

with the present unlimited de-
mand for meat products, the raising
of baby beef, even upon Wisconsin's
high priced land, offers opportunity
for profitable and congenial employ
ment," says John L. Tormey, secre-
tary of the Wisconsin Shorthorn Breed
ers' association.
According to- Mr.. Tormey, Wiscon-
sin, on account of it's nearness to mar
ket, it's good climate, its abundance of
forage grain, and good water, offers
excellent opportunities of the baby
beef producer.
when raising baby beef, it is nee
essary," declares Mr.. Tormey, "to have
cattle of good beef type, and the pure
bred sire route is the only one which
safely can be taken. BY feeding the
youngsters well from calfhood, they
will be ready to market at year and
half, and will carry more meat with
less care and feed, than raw western
feeders would require to produce the
same returns"

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

(By 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 on. 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 a month.

Boiling Radiators.

The number of furiously steaming
radiators to be noticed, even on the
coolest days, calls attention to the fact
that the average driver of 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 soon result
in disaster if the cooling apparatus
was not extremely efficient. Even as it
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 lowly motorcy
clist, with his air-cooled motor, could
give points to the superior automobilist
on efficient and economical driving.

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 it's 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 flexibility is
afforded. From q 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
replenishing the water supply. The
fuel is vaporized, mixed with air in a
carburetor, heated and burned in a
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 it 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 minute and half
is required in starting it. If, however,
it has merely been idle overnight or
during corresponding period, it starts
at once.

KEEPING TRACK OF
ALL BREEDING EWES
Practice of Utmost Importance
in Handling Purebred Stock
Painting Is Favored.
(By W. C. coFFEY, Illinois Experiment
fofi

(By W. c. COFFEY, Illinois Experiment
Station.)
Replying to a Southern correspond
ent, the only dependable way to de-
termine when a eve is in heat is to
turn the ram with the flock. In ham
ding a purebred flock, it 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 certain year. Some
times the month is stated, but COM
paratively few breeders go to the trou-
BILE of giving the exact date.
For reasons aside from the require
ments for registering in the various
flock associations, it is well for the
owner to have 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 smearing
paint between the fore-legs of the ram
every day through the breeding sea-
son. This paint should be of 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

NEW TIRE-cHANGING TOOL
Recent Invention That Simplifies job
Which Is Usually Laborious
Out on the Road.

Until recent years the job of replac-
ing a punctured or blown tire while out
on the road somewhere has been a
mighty laborious job and one which
has caused a good many unkind words
to be spoken into the innocent atmos-
phere. Then the advent of the de-
mountable rim made a big improve
ment in things. With one Of these and
a properly-inflated tire on it, mounted
somewhere on the rear or the side of
the car one did not worry much about
the possibility of delay from a pune
ture or blowout. If either of them
happened, all that was necessary was
to jack up the wheel, take off half
