EXAMINING Valves.

An unusual case of backtiring and
misfiring was recently reported TO the
writer. The owner Of the car found
that the motor would sometimes fire on
four cylinders and at other times only
two would be in operation. After check
ing up on the c%arburetor adjustments
and examining the spark plugs and the
remainder of the ignition system, the
trouble apparently disappeared.
1t returned again, however, and the
ignition system and carburetor again
were given as probable causes 1t was
not until the hood was lifted while the
motor was misfiring that the real cause
was determined. The exhaust valves
of cylinders No. 1 and No. 4 were
sticking at short intervals. When they
were not sticking, the motor naturally
operated well, but every few minutes
one or the other or both would re-
main open. The valves were removed
and it was found the stems We're bad
ly bent. New valves were installed and
the trouble vanished.

rails, II One Has Only a Little
Familiarity With Tools.

The Transformation Of a well-known
lOw-priced touring car into a light two
passenger car with lines suggesting
speed, can be accomplished by any
person who has a little familiarity
with tools, and who will use as his
guide q set of patterns now on the
market. The materials required for
making the change a be secured at
any hardware store. The body for
which these patterns provide is round
ed, save at the radiator, and has
straight lines that converge slightly
toward the front, making the car look
like a racer. The seat Is set low, re-
curing the occupants to extend their
feet straight in front of them. The
shape of the hood and cowl tends to
direct the wind over the heads of the
passengers. Just back of the seat is
the ~1S-gallon gasoline tank which is
oval in cross section. A saving in
fuel and tires results from the fact
that the body is very light. Just back
of the gasoline tank are carried the
spacious tool box and a spare tire. A
%searchlight is mounted above the cowl.

DIFFICULT TO GET
RID OF CORN SMUT
Rotation Is Recommended by COL
orado Expert as the Best
Method in Large Fields.

(By II. e. VASEY, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins)
How Il you prevent smut in corn?
Would a seed treatment destroy 1t?
Unfortunately, there is no practical
method of preventing corn smut. a
seed treatment does no good because
the smut itself is not carried on the
grain, as it Is in the case of wheat
or oat SmutS. Corn smut lives over
winter in the soil and gains entrance
to new plants by means of spores
which pass from the soil to the tender
parts of the corn plant where infec-
tons are started.
Where it is not too impractical, as in
the case of small fields of sweet corn,
the smut boils may be cut off before
they break open, and then burned.
This, of course, makes too much labor
where the field is of any great size.
Rotation of crops is TO be consid-
cred the most effective way of handling
corn smut. A soil which is badly on
taminated with smut can be sown to
oats or wheat, or other crops, for a
period of two years and then followed
again with corn. Very little, if any,
corn smut will persist in the soil for
a longer time than this.

Burned Olive Oil in Rear liqht.

Two motorists attended n dance at a
suburban inn the other night. and when
they started for the city early in the
morning, found that there was no oil in
the rear light on their motor car. A
trip through the park and city streets
without. the ear light meant certain
arrest. There wasn't a garage in the
neighborhood, and no motorist conve-
nient who would lend them oil. They
had about concluded to camp out in the
car all night when one of the pair eX-
claimed: 1--WE got it" and disappeared
inside the inn. After a moments con-
versation with a waiter in the cafe, he
appeared with two decanters of olive
oil. The oil was poured into the dry
lamps, a match applied and after much
suffering of wicks and Pickering Of
flames, the motOrcar disappeared
down the highway, rear light blazing

NEGLECT OF Teeth
ENDS IN DISASTER
Examination May Be Made by
Running Hand Into Horses
Mouth-FurniSh Soft Feed.

Many n horse becomes weak, poor
in condition, and emaciated simply as
n result of bad teeth which have been
neglected. If the horse turns his head
to one side while eating, shows signs
Of poor nutrition, and passes whole
grains of oats or corn with the feces,
his teeth need attention.
The continual grinding of the teeth
in eating causes the outer edges OF the
upper molars and the inner edges of
the lower molars to become sharp.
These sharp edges l%acerate the thin
skin of the inner cheek and the tongue,
and make chewing painful. This and
irregular teeth tend to cause h ami
NAL to imperfectly chew his feed be-
fore swallowing it; and unless the teeth
receive proper attention, the animal
becomes emaciated.
In old animals the teeth often be
come smooth, making it impossible
for them to chew hay and grain. In
such cases only soft feeds should be
given.
An examination of the teeth may
be made by running the hand into the
mouth and feeling them to see if they
are sharp or if any of them are too
long. Only a qualified veterinarian
should be allowed to treat the teeth

First-Floor Plan.

A part of the argument in each case is
unadulterated rhetoric.
Now for q type of a modern home,
one that has beauty, convenience and
real value to recommend it for on
sideratiON.
In the perspective views here given
of an eight-rOom house, with sun porch
and sleeping porch, you will find its
excellent lines give the house an at
tractive appearance. The wide ex-
panse of glass insures good lighting

warmth may be assured by using
storm sash. They are a good invest

The overland of the second story,
bringing the floor out on a line with
the bay window of the living room
and the continuation of the belt cor
nice around the sleeping porch add ap-
probably to the fine lines of the struc-
ture.
That Is about all the perspective
view discloses, except that the sun
porch is private and little parties held
thereon will not be disturbed by
strangers or other guests who call at

living room Is through a small vesti-
bule at the right of the house, which is
protected by the overhanging roof.

old mare that would come by herself
to the shop whenever she was loose.
81 always had to pick up her shoes
and look at Them" said the smith. IF
l happened to be busy, she would hang
around for an hour and wait for me to
examine her feet. If any work vas
needed / did it, and charged it up to
the doctor. If her shoes were all
right, I would give them a few taps
with the hammer, and then the old
girl was satisfied" The smith thinks
that mares are prouder than geldings
of a new pair of shoes. He attributes
this to natural feminine good sense,
rather than vanity. We don't vouch
for the truth of his anecdotes, but we
will say that it is hard to find a more
interesting man than this blacksmith
or any blacksmith. He is always a
good story-teller, and we imagine that
the rhythmic ring of hammer on iron
develops his imagination.-Farm Life.

At Sea in a Car.

Recently a Chicago man hit upon n
unique scheme of making his autOmo-
bile furnish the motive power for his
hOusebOat.
This is accomplished by fitting
spurred-sprOcket wheels to the hubs of
the cars ear wheels, and keying sim
liar but larger ones to the paddle
wheels of the boat, and connecting
them by means of link-chain belts.
When the automobile is lacked up
so that the rear wheels are clear of
the deck and the engine of the car is
started it will run at the rate of six
miles an hour.
The automobile is guided on board
by means of a couple of grooved run
ways, which run from the shore to the
gangplank and are brought to a
place on the aft deck Immediately be-
tween the paddle wheels.

~SeIf-Service GARAGE.

The ~self-service idea has invaded the
realm of the garage. Just as one can
enter certain restaurants or groceries
and help himself and be charged for
what he gets, so now a a owner can
take his automobile into one of the
separate compartments provided in a
Seattle garage, procure tools at the
garage office and do his own repairing.
When he has finished he returns the
tools to the office and is charged &C.
cording to the time he has occupied the
room and for the tools he has used.
These private repair spaces can be
locked so that one can safely leave his
work and return and finish it later. If
a helper is desired, one can be pro-
cured at a specified rate.

Olfinq Valve Caps Rust Preventive.

It sometimes happens that when the
valves are round to require attention
of. some sort the caps have become so
firmly rusted into place that it is i'm
possible to move them in any ordinary
way. The best way to get the cap
started is to run the engine long
enough for them to get heated through
and then pour cold water in the hollow
provided for the wrench.
Immediately after applying the wa
ter set the wrench in place and give
it a jerk or a sharp tap with a mallet.
This will practically always start the
cap. In this connection, however, pre-
vention is the best cure. If the threads
of the valve caps are properly treated
with rust preventive when they are
put in place, this trouble will Oc-
cur. Give the threads a coating of
heavy oil and flake graphite and the
caps will always be easy to start.

harmless beverage before retiring, a
hot mustard foot bath, ice packs, hot

CHAMBERS IS MOST
INFECTIOUS DISEASE
As There Is No Cure for Trouble,

Chambers Is an infectious disease af-
fecting horses and sometimes attacks
man. One of the symptoms is the for

an offensive odor, from the nose. The
glands under the jaw often swell.
Swellings often occur on the legs, III
GERS sometimes form on the skin, the
coat is apt to be dull and the affected
horse loses flesh.
The discharge from the nose con-
tains the germs, which shows how
easy it is for a glandered horse to in

needs to be exercised when CHAMBERS

screened porch on the second floor
would prove an irresistible attraction.
Under such circumstances the small
front bedroom would be used as a
dressing room.
Stucco houses of this general type
are unusually attractive and have long
been in vogue. The architectural de-
sign and interior arrangement should
merit the approval of the most exact
ing. A home built to correspond to
these plans should prove satisfactory
in every way and would contain every
element of value that make for peace
of mind, comfort and security for the
money invested.
The perspective view does not dis
close the height of the roof over the
One-story section. Possibly there is
sufficient headroom to give an attic
for storage purposes, entrance to be
secured through the front bedroom on
that side. The cost of a door would
be inconsiderable and storage room
usually is at a premium in all houses.

Cost-Gauge the cost of the home

Car Starts Hard on Cold Mornings.

If you are not already using anti
freeze solution in your radiator, we
suggest letting the water out at night
and filling the system with hot water
in the morning. In case you cannot do
this, you might try pouring boiling wa
ter over the carburetor and intake
piping before %cranking the engine. You
should open the c%arturetor adjustment
wider than the usual running position,
in order to insure plenty of gasoline
and also shut off the air intake to the
carburetor by e of the shutter,
which is provided. In very cold wealth
err you may have to apply hot water
to the carbureter more than once, and
you should take care that no water can
enter the c%arbureter.

If you feel that your a Is eating

amined by some competent mechanic.
Perhaps your carbureter is not proper

wrong with the compression, and this

The veal 1916 has Witnessed an e
pans1On of the influence of improved
live stock, an expansion heretofore I'M
equaled in the history of the live
stock industry. This expansion seems
to apply with especial emphasis to the
shorthOrn, both at home and abroad.
There has been an unparalleled demand
for shorthorn breeding stock through
out the United States and prices have
naturally held to a higher plane than
usual. To be sure, in former periods
prices reached higher levels, but Meth
er the demand nor the prices were ever
so uniform before-evidence of the ex-

teal farmers and stockmen.
Boom for Live Stock.
All through the New England states
and along the Atlantic seaboard, down
through the Southern states, there has
been a decided inclination to en-
gage in live stock husbandry in order
to conserve the fertility of the soil and
increase the income. The farmers of
the central states, comprising the corn
belt, are turning again to beef produc-
ton, and throughout the mountain and
coast states there Is Il general inclina-
ton to replenish the depleted supply
of cattle. So it Is from coast to coast
and from the Gulf far into Canada a
recognition of the necessity of using
improved blood has induced an active
investment In registered cattle and
shorthorns have steadily gained in IA
