Spjnnjnu Clutches,

On cars which have been In opera
ton for some time the driver often
finds that gear changing cannot be ac-
complished without noise. The gears
do not mesh easily and it not only Is
annoying, but sometimes difficult for
the car to be driven properly. Harsh
gear changing usually is due to a spin
ming clutch, but sometimes to a defect
in the gearset. The latter may have
one or more shafts out of alignment,
due either to distortion of the shaft
itself or to n poor bearing.
When a cone clutch spins, that Is,
when it continues to rotate for some
time after being disengaged, the
trouble may be remedied by adjust
ment in many cases. Roughness of the
leather may be the cause A thin coat
ing of neatsfoot oil or dressing with
fuller's earth usually stops the trouble.
In a disk clutch running in oil, thinner
oil sometimes helps. 1t usually is a
sign of gummed disks when the trouble
occurs in a dry disk clutch.

IMPORTANT TO SAVE
ALL LIQUID MANURE
Considerable Proportion Of Nitro
gen Lost Through Fermenta-
ton and Leaching.

The fertilizing value Of the total ex-
crement from horses is about 500 per
animal per year, and from cattle about
$25, according to the chemistry Sec
ton Of the Nebraska experiment sta
ton.
Nearly half Of the nitrogen and po-
tassium from farm animals occurs in
the liquid excrement. 1t is therefore
important that this be saved through
use of sufficient straw to absorb it.
Manure stored in the open barnyard
loses a considerable proportion of its
nitrogen through fermentation, and its
potassium and other mineral elements
through teaching. .
This loss may be avoided by hauling
the to the field as fast as it
accumulates. If this is impracticable,
it may be stored in q covered shed,
where animals run over it, and so
keep it well packed. The greatest
loss of fertility occurs when the ma
nure Is stored in loose piles.

Kerosene as Motor Fuel.

The attempt of Alfred Gohn to drive
an ordinary automobile from Warren
to New York with common kerosene
as the motor power, was successful
under adverse circumstances. He en-
countered weather which made the GO
ing haru, and even froze his radiator,
but in spite of this he made an aver
age of 20 miles to the gallon. Nor
was this kerosene specially prepared
for the purpose, but was purchased at
the stores on the route as the driver
needed it. If the experiment to use
kerosene in place of gasoline should
prove a success, it will be of great
value to the oil industry. since the re-
finers have been handicapped for sew
eral years by the accumulation Of
stocks of Illuminating oil on their
hands.-Oil City Derrick.

NO NEED FOR MUCH NOISE
Careful Driving Of Machine Will Do
Away With Complaint That Is
Often Well Founded.

The unavoidable noises Of traffic
the public ought to be called upon to
withstand and every motorcar opera
tor ought to "do his bit" to prevent
their unnecessary increase by driving
his car as quietly as possible. Undue
noise almost always means waste Of
power and uncalled for wear and tear
and, for this reason also, 1t should be
avoided. The following are a few
hints which, If followed, will tend to
secure quietness of operation: Start
the engine on nearly closed throttle.
Most carburetors are designed to give
a richer mixture at small than at large
openings and the engine thus starts
easier and more easily. After 1t Is
started, don't sit and race it to see II
it is going to keep running. Have some
means for temporarily %richening the
mixture and use 1t at starting. This
will insure reliable running at low
throttle, wen under cold conditions.
When starting the car from rest,
don't race the motor excessively before
engaging the clutch and don't let in the
clutch suddenly. On the level going
there is no need Of a high motor speed;
and the noise that accompanies 1t.
When changing from the lower to
the higher gears, at starting, don't
speed the motor too much before max
ing n shift. Except on up grades, this
is not necessary and, with modern,
multiple-cylinder motors, speeding Of
the engine is hardly necessary at all.
Don't try to accelerate the car too rap
idly. The time you could a by 1t
would be too small to figure and these
"dashing getaways" are very noisy.
Learn to change speeds without
clashing the gears, their grinding Ii a
most distressing sound and every self
respecting motorist ought to be will
ing to learn to shift speeds quietly.
Keep the hand throttle set so low that
the motor cannot race when the clutch
is thrown out. When idling the EN-
CINE run it at its lowest practicable
speed. Last, but also important, IL
your car happens to be fitted with that
generally abandoned delusion-the
muller cutout-never open 1t.

HORSE MUST Be WELL FED DURING WINTER

The efficiency of the farm horse
next spring and summer will depend
largely upon the feed and care it re-
ceives this winter, asserts DR.. G. w.
McCampbell, associate professor of
animal husbandry In the agricultural
college.
"Despite the fact that feeds are
high in price, the farm horse must be
well fed during the coming winter
months" said Doctor McCampbell. "a
study Of market prices reveals the fact
that bran and alfalfa hay are two of
the cheapest feeds available when
feeding value is considered. Both are
well adapted to winter feeding because
of the lighter work of the farm horse
during the winter season, and because
Of the cooler weather. This being true,
both should enter largely in the farm
horse ration this winter.
Use Much Rouohage.
"At present prices a combination of
6 parts of corn, and 4 parts of
bran is 20 cents a hundredweight
cheaper than corn alone, and has
practically the same feeding value as

"cut" in the heart of the Lake Poygan
marshes, the most famous wild-fowling
region in the United States.
An ardent sportsman, Haertl was
