WATCH SMALL CUTS ON TIRES
II Filled With Rubber Gum They VIII
Be Prevented From Developing
Blowout Avoided.

It is an opportune time for automo-
bile tires to receive thorough inspec-
ton, so that their full mileage may
be obtained without interruption.
watch for the small cuts" advises
the service manager Of a big rubber
company. "Spot them when they are
small and harmless. If they are then
filled with a good quality Of gum rub
Der they will be prevented from de-
veloping to the stage where positive
injury to tread and fabric would re-
suit.
"Sand and gravel eat their way rap
idly into the heart of tire. Upon
reaching the fabric, real trouble for
the motorist quickly develops and a
blowout Is inevitable sooner or later.
Plugging up small cut is very SIM
pie matter, requiring only moment OF
time, yet 1t Is sure to save many a
disappointment and many a dollar OF
tire value to the man who watches
out"

DAIRY
FACTS
SLAUGHTER OF DAIRY CATTLE
Because Of Lack Of Feed In Europe
Many Animals Have Been Killed
Milk Supply Decreased.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Although dairy cattle are economical
users of feedstuffs and although they
will convert coarse, inedible material
into human food, still they must
have some grain for maximum prOduc-
ton. When animals convert feeds,
such as grain. that can be used direct
by human beings, they usually do SO
at loss of human food. In times Of
extreme food shortage, therefore, AMI
mails are killed for human food and
the grain used directly. In some Of
the continental countries this policy
has been followed because Of the lack
Of feeds and the need Of meat. Most
of the dairy countries Of Europe have
depended upon imports for large
pant of the grains or concentrates for
dairy cattle. This supply has been
largely cut off, with the result that In
some countries there has been tend
ency to decrease the number Of AMI
mails. Because Of these frEts. millions
Of dairy cattle have been slaughtered
In Europe since the war began. The
lack of milk that has resLl ed has en-
tailed great suffering in some Sec
tons. especially among children. 1t
is important, therefore. that such a
situation be prevented In this country
so far as possible. If, by economical
feeding and the utilization of feeds
that are not necessary for humans.
the dairymen of the county could con-
serve their herds until after the war.
they would render great service to
humanity. With the great number Of
animals killed in Europe and the in
crease in the rate Of slaughter as the
war continues, the food shortage be-
comes more serious. When the strug-
gle is over 1t will be impossible to meet
Mt once the demand for milk In the
countries where the greatest number
Of cattle have been killed.
Efforts will be made, Of course, to
Increase the number Of dairy cattle,
but this requires time-several years
In fact The supply Of grain, on the
other hand. can be increased more rap
idly, but there will probably be de-
mand upon us for products from the
dairy, as well as for foundations for
herds, provided We keep our supply OF
good animals This should be cOnsid-
cred another reason for increasing, or
at least maintaining, the herds of dairy
cattle In this country.

PREVENT GLARE FROM LIGHTS
Formula Used for Making Frostino So
Iution-Best to immense Object
to Be Coated.

In these days Of drastic headlight
laws, state and municipal, motorists
will naturally be interested in a cheap
method of frosting bulbs and lenses, a
method of eliminating the glare from
lights and complying with all stat
utes of this kind.
The following formula is used for
making the frosting solution and into
this thelbulb or lens Is dipped. To a
mixture of "a ounces of ether and IS
ounces Of benzine, add "a ounces of
sandarach and one-half ounce of mas
tic. Any good drug store will furnish
the needed ingredients.
If it is desired to produce cOlored
light, coloring matter may be added
to the solution. If the surface to be
frosted is large and fiat the solution
may be applied with brush, but this
usually produces streaked surface.
1t is best to immense the object to be
coated, If possible.

! FARM
ANIMALS
TO, PREVENT WORMS IN PIGS
Especially Important to Protect Newly
Farrowed Animals From Intestinal
Parasites.

prepared by the United States Depart
ament of Agrfculture.)
Recent Investigations have shown
the Importance of taking special pre-
cautions with newly narrowed pigs to
prevent their becoming infested with
intestinal worms. Intestinal worms are
very common parasites among pigs,
and cause a great deal of damage to
the young animals. 1t appears that as
they become older pigs become less
susceptible to infection. Accordingly,
if pigs can be protected from infection
during the first few weeks of life they
are less likely afterwards to be serious
ly injured by intestinal worms OF the
common variety.
The worms are spread by means OF
eggs of microscopic size which are de-
posted by the adult worms In the in
testines of infested pigs, and which
pass out of the body in the feces. After

MENACE TO SHEEP INDUSTRY
Dogs and Coyotes Constitute One Of
Greatest Drawbacks to Wool and
Mutton Business.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)
Wool and mutton are commanding
higher prices than ever before and sup
plies Of wool are being depleted so rap
idly that it will take some time after
peace is declared to restock the wool
trade. says Bulletin 935, 'The Sheep
Killing Dog" issued by the United
States department of agriculture.
The United States is experiencing
the greatest shortage of mutton and
wool In the history of the country. 1t
is the duty of the American farmer to
increase the supply.
The sheep-killing dog constitutes one
of the greatest menaces to the success
of the sheep industry.
The dog not only kills sheep but
keeps out of the sheep business men
who are otherwise inclined to go into
1t.
Tie most effective method of dealing
with the sheep-kiiling dog is through
efficient legislation. t'7w
Notable progress has been made by
several states in enacting good dog
laws, and others are expected to take
similar action.

Much Satisfaction to Car Owner
to Know lust Why His
Starter Won't Work.
HYDROME1ER USED FOR TEST
In Stopping Car Frequently Large
Amount Of Current 10 Being Used
for cran<ing Enoine-Re-
charge Battery at Once.

When you go out to your garage in
the morning and find that for some
reason or other your starter won't
work, it gives you a lot Of satisfac-
ton to know exactly what the trouble
Is, although you may not be able your
self to remedy 1t.
If you find that your battery has
hot energy enough to turn over the
starting motor, the first thing you
do, naturally. Is to test it with your
hydrometer. Nine times out Of ten
you will find that the trouble is
starving. The hydrometer will In
fallibly uncover this condition, for in
stead of registering 1880 to 1900. as
It would II the battery were fully
charged, 1t VIII register below 1900.
What Causes Trouble.
All right. You've discovered that
your battery is starved. But going
back a step farther, "What causes
1t to be starved? How did 1t come
about that the battery which Is to
supply you with energy and to spare
for starting and lighting gets into a
condition that 1t has not power
enough for either one Of these
things?"
How are you running your car?
II you are running 1t In the city,
short distances. stopping frequently.
you are using a large amount Of cur
rent for cranking the engine without
giving the generator chance to re-
store to the battery power enough to
offset this DRAIN
While 1t is impo Nble to state just
how much the car should be run to
keep the battery In fully charged
condition, this much can be said ::
Every time you crank your engine the
battery for q few moments Is put
ting forth two horse power Of en-
ergy.
Battery Wears Out.
Very obviously II 1t is called upon
to do this long at time or at too
frequent intervals, 1t Is not going to
be long before the battery Is exhaust
ed. If, however. the machine Is run
a considerable distance at fair rate
Of speed. say from Is to 20 miles per
hour, the generator gets chance to
restore energy to the battery and the
dangers Of starving are reduced In that
proportion.
Some days, perhaps, In testing
your battery you find one cell or two
cells show the normal reading, but
the third shows very low reading.
This can only be interpreted In one
way, the entire battery is in poor con-
dition. The fact that two cells show
a higher reading than the third Is
merely accidental. The fact at the
bottom of the whole thing Is this:
The measure Of energy In the dis
charged cell is very probably the
measure of energy of the whole bat
terry. In such a case the battery
should be recharged at once at the
battery service station.

cOrding to temperature and other con-
ditiOns, the egg contains tiny embry-
onic worm, and is ready for further de-
velopment when swallowed by a pig.
The eggs are highly resistant and may
retain their vitality for years. 1t is
therefore evident that in course of time
the ground in yards where pigs are
kept may become very heavily laden
with the eggs of the W rms.
When the eggs are swallowed the
young worms hatch out, but do not i'm
mediately settle down in the intestine.
They get into the circulation and are
carried to various organs Of the body,
including the lungs. Meanwhile they
increase somewhat In size aad undergo
certain changes of structure. In q
week or ten days they can be found In
infected pigs examined post-mortem
crawling up the windpipe into the
mouth and down the esOphagus into

from the results Of the investigations

pigs are several weeks old they should
be kept preferably in buildings and

That personal obligation is accentuated
in the present campaign by reason of the
