need OF EXPERT
To FIX BATTERY
Starting Mechanism of Car Is
Regarded by Too Many Mo-
florists as a Mystery.
Time FOR MAKING REPAIRS
Should BE Opened for Owners lnspec-
ton and All Separators Removed
-Reinsulation May Be All
That Is Needed.

"Despite the educational campaign
carried on by battery manufacturers, a
great majority of motorists still con-
a mystery, and the same question is
occurring day after day. When should
a battery be repaired and when should
1t be thrown away?
The answer to this is, Put yourself
in the hands of an expert and at the
same time bear the following points in
mind" says f. T. Kalas, manager of
a battery depot in Washington.
Have your battery opened for your
own inspection, and all s%eparators re-
moved, so that the entire surface of
the individual plates may be readily
seen.
Expense of Reinsulating.
'If the examination shows that the
positive plates "a chocolate brown in
COLOR and the negative plates (slate
gray) are mechanically intact it is sim
ply a case of reinsulating the plates
with s~eparators, and this can be done
at an average expense of approximate
ly one-sixth the cost of a new battery.
In some makes of batteries a very
thin wood separator or insulating ma
terial is used, and, Judging from care
fully kept records, extending over a
period Of one year., these very thin
separators break down in approx
mately eight months time, whereas
the thicker type of s%eparators last
twice as long.
eff the positive plates are severely
warped or show excessive loss of ma
terial, a new set Of positive plates and
new separators r necessary. The
cost of tbs repair is approximately 80
per cent of the cost of a new battery,
and such repairs would give a battery
life about equal to the life obtained
from the first set of positive plates.
In many cases the life is longer, as
the owner of q new car usually abuses
the car and the battery in the early
part of its life. Repair or renewal of
positive plates is perfectly safe, as the
negative plates are almost equal in life
to two sets Of positive plates.
Purchase New Battery.
"If the examination shows that the
negative plates are excessively worn
In addition to the positive plates 1t Is
then advisable to purchase a new bat
terry, as the cost Of repairs in a case
Of this kind is excessive by COMPARE
son.
There may be some slight varia-
lions from the above principles. but
they are exceedingly few and rare.
Don't get your knowledge from the
outside Of the battery box-obtain a
complete idea Of the inside, learn
what the parts are for and why. 1t
only takes a few minutes and it VIII
save more dollars"

Stock Raisers Will Find 1t to Their
Advantage to Take More Pains to
Find Out Needs Of Their Animals
and Feed Them Accordingly.
cottonseed hulls proved to be a good
fattening ration for calves for a short
feeding period.
When fed in conjunction with cot
tonseed meal, corn silage of rather
poor quality produced the same daily
gains on calves as did cottonseed hulls
and c~heapened the cost of the daily
gains.
The substitution of two-thirds of the
cottonseed meal in a ration with corn
did not prove profitable when corn cost
70 cents a bushel and cottonseed meal
$26 a ton
In n test It was profitable to re-
place one-third Of the cottonseed meal
with corn-and-cob meal, but in a sec
ond test nothing was gained by the in
PRODUCTION of corn-and-cob meal. The
first a the calves which received
corn-and-cob meal made slightly larger
daily gains and sold for more than did
the calves which received cottonseed
meal as the sole concentrate. The sec
ond year the addition Of corn to the
ration did not increase the size of the
daily gains, nor did the calves which
received corn sell for any more per
pound than the other calves.
In a third test 81 high-grade Aber-
deen-Angus calves fed on a ration Of
about three pounds of cottonseed meal,
two pounds Of cowpea hay and as much
~cottonseed bulls as they would eat
made daily gains at a cost of 1856 per
hundred pounds and returned a net
profit of $3.50 each.
In a fourth experiment "a calves
which were fed for 112 days in the dry
lot and then fed 80 days on pasture
made good daily gains. but the profits
were not as large as they would have
been II the calves had been sold at the
end Of the winter. The gains made
during the summer were good and
were made cheaply, but the price of
calves was 30 much lower in the sum-
mer than at the close Of winter that
the continued feeding into the summer
months was not profitable.

SELECT BACK ROADS
FOR MOST PLEASURE
Advice to Motorists Who Prefer.
Not to Eat Dust All Day.
Average Motorist Is Learning That
There Are Two Kinds of Highways
One Is Main Road Utilized
Mostly by Speeders.

There are at least two distinctive
classes of motor-car drivers. One in
cludes those who desire to get from a
given point to another given point in
the shortest possible time. The other
enjoys motoring because the automo-
bile gives n a chance to see the
beauties of nature. to seek out quiet
and primitive spots, and to view the
country at its best. There is a sharp
line between the two. Most of the
casualty lists are made up of men,
bers of the first. Accidents to the driv-
er who is in no particular hurry are
more i~nfrequent.
A man who has driven a car for sew
speed of a car without a device that
registers the number of miles an hour.
When the car is going 20 to 25 miles
an hour there is plenty of CONVERSE
ton on the back seat. The occupants
point out things of interest and COM
ment thereon. When the speed gets
up to 35 or 40 miles an hour there is
less talking, and when a higher mark
Is attained there is dead silence. Ev-
erybody in the car has his eyes glued
on the road ahead, and is hopeful that
nothing will happen. There is no time
and no inclination TO talk, even If the
rush of air would permit 1t.
Happily, the average motorist does
not drive at an excessive speed, and
it is the average motorist who is learn
ing that there are two kinds of high
ways. One kind is the main road be-
tween cities. much utilized by speed
ers-the drivers who watch the
~speedometer and who brag on what
they have been able to "get out of
her."
The other kind of driver is learning
that there usually is a back road. At
this season Of the year many of these
back roads are in better condition than
the main highways. They are smooth
er and there is less dust. Little traf-
f1c is met, and the surrounding coun
try, as a rule, is prettier and more pas
toral. The man who seeks out these
back roads may have to drive a few
miles farther than if he had kept to
the main travelled ways, but the quiet
and beauty of the scene more than pay
for the extra gasoline.

GOOD VALVE GRINDING HINT
Piece Of Emery Cloth Can Be En-
ployed Satisfactorily II pIrec-
tions Are Followed.

In cases where a badly pitted valve
requires grinding there is a short cut.
Cut a piece of emery cloth in dimen-
sions a little bit wider than the valve
seating and twice as long and then
double it yer so that both surfaces
are cutting surfaces. Next cut a hole
in the cloth so that the valve stem
may be passed through and the emery
cloth brought close up against the
valve head. The valve is then placed
in position for grinding under COM
paratively high pressure. Both sides
of the emery cloth will conform to
the valve head and the seating, and
II the valve turns and the emery cloth
remains stationary the valve will be
ground on the upper emery, whereas
u the cloth r~evolves the valve seating
will be ground on the lower emery.

One hundred and seventy-one herds,

pure-bred herds of cattle free from tu-
b~erculosis which the department of ag-
nculture is developing to insure dis

In order to have his herd accredited
the owner must comply with uniform
rules approved by the United States
department OF agriculture and adopted
by nearly all of the states, which re-
quire that every animal pass at least
two successful annual tuberculin tests.
In addition to the number Of herds
mentioned, more than 600 others have
passed n successful test in prepara-
ton for accrediting. One Of the many
advantages of having accredited herds,
which is proving popular with breed
ers, is that the owner may make inter-

HOW BRAKES ARE ADJUSTED
Not Advisable to Remove Slack at
Same PIaee-First on Rods, Next
on Bands, Etc.

In taking up on the brakes do not
always remove the slack at the same
place. There usually are two or three
places in the brake assembly where a
'take-up" is possible, and each time
the brakes are adjusted a different
place should be used. The first time
take up the rods at the rear. the next
time at the brake bands, etc.

Knitting, Revived Art.

Knitting, as handicraft. almost
universal among our grandmothers,
and now being revived by women all
over the world, received It's death
blow from the invention Of Isaac Wiz
an Lamb, who was born in Salem,
Mich, about 7S years ago.
Lambs invention of the knitting
machine, the first perfected apparat-
us Of its kind. transformed the art Of
knitting from home occupation to a
great manufacturing industry. His
machine is capable of producing more
than 80 varieties Of knit goods and
makes 1000 loops minute at ordi-
nary speed, turning out both fiat and
tubular work. Later inventors have
worked improvements in the process.
AS one result of the war knitting
needles are again In vogue, and their
click may now be heard In the homes,
In the theaters, in the street cars and
every other place. In all probability,
however, home knitting will pass with
the years.

THE TRAINING OF CHILDREN.

THE TRAINING OF CHILDREN.
1t pays to have high ideals for our
children and to respect their individ.
uality, says Mrs. Elvira Hyatt. Much
can be accomplished by expecting
children to be good, and by show rg
them that we trust them.
We should never call child "bad, "
never wound his self-respect This
does not mean that his naughty actions
should be "glossed over" but as one
wise educator has expressed it we
should realize that every fault is simply
the absence of some virtue, and we
should try TO build up that quality in
which the child is de licent, rather
than condemn him for that which he
has not.
Build up the virtues and the faults
will disappear. II child is selfish we
should dwell on unselfshness; II the
child is untidy, on neatness; If slow, on
quickness; and we should always re-
member to praise even the slightest
sign OF the virtue we are working to
cultivate. A child will try to live up
to the thing for which he is praised,
