TO REMOVE CARBON
Not All Owners of Automobiles
Have Correct Idea.
DUST IS DRAWN INTO Motor
Deposit Eventually Becomes So Deep
1t Is Incandescent, Causing Prema-
ture Explosion Of Fuel
Kerosene Is Favored.

Each man who owns an automobile
has his own ideas about carbon pre-
ventiOn and removal, but not all of
them are by any mean correct. This
substance is deposited in the combus-
ton chambers of the gasoline engine
through imperfect combustion of the
cylinder oil and gasoline.
Dust is drawn into the motor and
adheres to the first oily surface it
strikes, adding to the accumulation of
the piston head. Eventually, this de-
post becomes SO deep that it Is in
candescent, causing premature ignition
of the fuel. 1t is this latter character
istic which makes it so important to
get rid of the carbon.
Some Chemical Removers.
This substances may be scraped out
with specially designed tools with most
engines, which permit a pretty thor
Ough job to be engineered without re-
moving the cylinder-head. There are
several sorts Of chemical carbon re-
movers on the market which are to be
injected into the combustion chamber
for the, purpose of loosening the car
bon and permitting it to be blown out
Of the exhaust.
With some types Of motors it Is pos
sible to drop a small chain in the COM
bustiOn chamber and let 1t scrape the
carbon automatically as it flies about
under the impulses of the piston.
Kerosene Best Remedy.
When the engine Is hot at the end
Of the days run, feed about three or
foul ounces, say, a third of an ordinary
drinking glass Of kerosene through
the air vent On the intake manifold,
or through the air intake of the carbu-
rotor, while the engine is idling.
The kerosene should be poured in
gradually and the throttle should be
opened very slowly, and the engine be
speeded up on the kerosene, which Is
thus drawn into the cylinders in larger
quantities than can be vapOrized and
burned at once, and In a few minutes
the excess kerosene is being churned
up and down in the cylinders, soaking
the valve seats and spark plugs.
Left for the Night.
That there is a surplus of the kero-
sene in the cylinders may be proved by
the fact that the engine will run at
good speed for several minutes after
the operator has stopped pouring the
oil into the intake manifold.
After running the engine for some
minutes on the kerosene fuel, it should
be rapidly speeded up by opening the
air-vent wider and then, while the kerr
Osene is still being poured into the
manifold, the spark should be shut off.
More kerosene is drawn into the cyl
inders with each revolution, and none
Of it is burned up, and 1t may be left
for the night to perform its function
Of a carbon solvent on the cylinder
head, valve seats and plugs.

Hot and Stronu,

Charles Sarka, who draws pictures
for the comic magazines, spends his
summers in the AdirOndacks, above
Gloversville, N. Y. Last summer he
and his wife attended a corn roast at
a camp near his own. Some Illinois
visitors were playing host, and among
the guests vas a young Scandinavian
who worked as a brakeman on an Illi-
nOis railroad. The Scandinavian was
painfully clean and dressed up and his
voice had frozen.
Whoever made the coffee made 1t too
strong, and Mrs. Sarka passed a tea
kettle of hot water among the party to
dilute the brew.
"Will you have some hot water i'm
your coffee, Mr.. L~arson?" she asked the
Scandinavian.

body warmth Of the cows. Warm air
will rise to the ceiling and spread In
every direction. As 1t loads up with
impurities, and as its temperature is
reduced. the air becomes heavier. As
1t reaches the outer walls 1t descends
and is drawn through the outlet flues
from near the floor behind the cows.
Practical stable ventilation must be
studied for each building separately.
What will work out In one stable
would be useless in another, because
of some popularity In the structure.
This center horizontal air duct Is
worth a trial. Being made Of on

broom or cleaned with a hose.

Of dairymen, But good cowmen like
to have the air changed whether there
is much or little to change. These
men make their stable ceiling low and
are particular to have n good-sized
COW in each stall.
In building these stables in the
East, dairymen are particular not to
leave any lodges to hold dust. They
use inside ceiling without beading and
they paint the ceiling in such a way as
to fill the cracks so far as possible, so
the ceiling Is smooth and alright. For
the same reason there are no window
stools. There are no unnecessary pro-
jections anywhere on the inside of the
stable. The same idea Is followed In
the stall partitions.
In this particular stable the only
support to the ceiling Is from the par
tition uprights between the cows,
which are cemented in the floor and
fastened to the ceiling by screws
through threaded plates. A loft over a
stable like this is not used for any
purpose except as an air space. and
the air is changed by having a window
in each gable. The silOs are placed
between the stable and storage barn,

The condition Of a sick horse is
shown to a certain extent by the ap-
pearance Of the mucous membranes.
For example, when the animal is me-

propriate feed the mucous membranes
become pale. This change In the mu-
cous membranes can be seen most read

the lining Of the nostril. Paleness
means weak circulation or poor blood.
Increased redness occurs in painful
conditions, excitement and following
severe exertiOn. In fevers there Is an
increased redness In the mucous mem
brane, and this continues so long as
the fever lasts. In some diseases red
spots or streaks form in the mucous
membrane. This usually indicates an
infectious disease of considerable Sc

outside blinds, painted dark green.
This is for the purpose of shutting it
up dark after the cows are MIXED In
the morning in summer. When the
blinds are shut the stable is so dark
that flies will not stay in 1t. Dairymen
have taken lessons from good house.
keepers in this respect. Flies will
crawl out of a very small crack to get
from darkness to light. You can't
shut flies out of a COW stable, that Is,
you can't shut them all out but 1t Is
possible to shut up a stable like this
so dark that they will all leave it be-
tween morning and evening milking
hours.
OF course, the cows will carry flies
In with them when they are stabbed in
the afternoon, and this cannot be
avoided very we'll. However, some
New York dairymen have dark pas

Easter dairymen usually are well

sloping bank, falling away towards the
south or southeast, is preferable. The
north is usually protected by a group
of trees or high board fence.
During the last ten years stables
have grown in size and dimensions.
Little cellar windows Of meager sizes
in lonesome connection have been dis
placed by two sash windows, as are
fully made and adjusted as the win
dows in the house. The system of
ventilation In this stable Is a combina-
ton system, with the ceiling openings
that permit the ventilators to carry
off the warm air from the top Of the
stable In summer
There may be built-in the concrete
floor in the feed passageway-a CEN
trail air duct to admit fresh air. Over
this air duct is placed a wooden walk,
built of 2 by 4 cross pieces, with the
boards nailed on lengthwise. This
leaves an opening between the 2 by A
cross pieces for the entrance of air
into the stable directly In front of the
cows noses.

SCARCITY OF POTASH
PULLING TO FARMER
Expert Of Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College Recommends
Use as Fertilizer.

Parsnips are a lOng-season root
crop, which occupy the ground until
the late fall and sometimes until the
following spring. II. F. Thompson,
professor of market gardening. Mas
sachusetts Agricultural college, has
recommended for beets and carrots
the use of 1000 pounds Yer acre of
high-grade fertilizer, Analysing 3 per
cent nitrogen, s per cent phosphoric
acid and 10 per cent potash.
Present wartime conditions prevent
the use of the amount of potash recon-
mended. and probably the best advice
that may be given is to use as much
potash as a be obtained now.

The important development Of dairy
farming during the last decade is very
forcefully indicated by the changes
which have occurred in the stables
USED on such farms. In the improve
ment Of sanitary conditions around
such stables, n thing at a time has
been found wanting until the dairy
stable has come strongly into the at
tention of farm-building architects,
ventilating experts and equipment en-
gineers causing it to be given a thor
ough o%verhauling and redesigning.
Several types have been established,
all Of which aim to accomplish prac-
tically the same thing. Primarily, the
animals must be furnished the best
possible conditions in which to live
and, ~secondarlly, the building must be
easy to keep clean.
This is an Easter COW stable. 1t has
some features which are different from
other good stables, some of which are
well liked by everyone who has tried
them out.

To operate, insert the shaft of the
pump in the crank hole below the ra-
diator so that the clutch on the pump
shaft engages the cranking pin on the
end of the motor shaft. The pump
body is then instantly clamped to the

Is then connected to the tire and mo-

tons in which the swelling of the skin
Is a symptom of a arrangement of
some other part of the body. For ex-
ample, there is the well-known "stock-
ing" or swelling of the legs about the
fetlOck joints. in influenza. There Is
the soft swelling Of the hind legs that
occurs so often in draft horses when
standing still and that comes from pre-
vious Inflammation or from insufficient
heart power. Dropsy of the skin may
occur beneath the chest or abdomen
from weak heart or from chronic col
lection of fluid in the chest or abdO-
men. In anasarca or purpura hemOr-
rhagica large soft swellings appear on
any part of the skin, but usually on
the legs, side Of the body, and about
the head.
Importance Of Wounds.
Wounds of the skin may be of inn
portance in the diagnosis of internal
disease. Wounds Over the bOny promi-
nences, as the point of the hip, the point
of the shoulder, and the greatest con-
vexity Of the ribs, occur when a horse
is unable to stand for a long time and,
through continually lying upon his
side, has shut off the circulation to the
portion of the skin that covers parts Of
the body that carry the greatest weight,
and in this way has caused them to
mortify. Little, round, soft, dOughlike
swellings occur on the skin and may be
scattered freely owe the surface of the
body when the horse is afflicted with
urticaria. Similar eruptions, but dis
tributed less generally, about the size
of a silver dollar, may occur as a
symptom of dOurine, or colt distemper.

In CHAMBERS, and blisterlike eruptions
occur around the mouth and pasterns
