Special Treatment of Parts Makes
Them Permanently Attractive

To overcome the lack -hister ap-
pearancc which the power plant of an
automobile is bound to acquire as the
result of heat and ever present dust
and oil, the cole Motor Car company,
of indianapolis, has employed special
manufacturing methods on its r'ol.
Eight which are said to have proved
most satisfactory
Every car owner enjoys the sensa :
tlor of lifting the hood of his car and
Finding motor that looks clean
Realizing this, the Cole Eight buiIc
crs have used highly polished nickel
unsparing!v and even coated the GYM
der blocks with fire proof lustrous
paint.
Especially. however, does the -om-
pany pride Itself In the treatment
CIV en- the exterior of the exhaust man
folds, which have generally proved
themselves a nuisance to the engine
designers who have sought to give
them permanent appearance of
"nCwnesS"
II is claimed positively that the Cole
Eight exhaust manifold will not cor
rode or tarnish. They are coated WIN
porcelain enamel, which Is applied a
temperature Of about $500 degrees
Fahrenheit. Innsmuch as manifolds
in service seldom acquire tempera-
turc OF more than 500 to | 900 de-
Tees the coating on their exterior is
said to be absolutely impcrVious tu
the effects of heat.

POOR METHODS ARE COSTLY
Farmers and Jobbers Could Make
$2y000,oo0 More Year 1t Modern
Plans Were Adopted.

Kansas farmers and jobbers are pay
ing high price for carelessness and
poor methods In handling and market
ing eggs, according to F. e. Fox, as
sistaht in poultry husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
''The egg business In Kansas
amounts to nearly $3O,OOO.OOO annual
ly. On this 100000 more could be
made If farmers would realize the im-
portance of proper methods In ham
ding eggs and poultry" commented
Mr.. Fox.
This enormous loss is due to i'm.
proper nesting and housing, improper
feeding, improper care and handling
of eggs on the farm, carelessness In
hauling and shipping, and carelessness
on the part Of the merchant in mar
keting.
"Loss to the producer due to these
causes is principally in the quality Of
the product, for which he receives a
lower price. Loss to the consumer is
in receiving eggs Of poor quality. for
which he pays more than they are
worth"

HOW TO TREAT AMARYLLIs

AS soon as amaryllis oulbs come
from the dealers they should be placed
in damp moss and kept near a window
in temperature of about 60 degrees.
They should be watched with care un-
til growth starts, then they should be
potted, using six-inch pots for the av-
erage bulbs.
A turfy loan, enriched with some
well-rOtted manure, makes the best
soil to be used. To this there ought to
be added some sand for the purpose
of insuring drainage and to prevent
the backing of the soil. The major
portion of the bulb ought to be above
the top of the soil.
After the bulbs have been first pot
ted they should be given little water
merely enough to prevent the soil
from drying out. The pots should be
placed in a sunny room, near win
dow. AS the plant progresses, the sup
ply of water should be increased.
