With the ingredients of a good a

that they may eat at will, hogs will
make gains more rapidly and more
economically than when fed by hand.
The self-feeder is growing in populari.
ty. 1t is simply a device by means OF
which a supply of grain OF other feed

advantages of the self-feeder and gives
bill of materials necessary for its con-
struction.
The growing scarcity of farm labor
is making it necessary to adopt sys-
tens of farming which will eliminate
a part of the work required at rush

described in "a Corn-Belt Farming

FEEDING SHEEP IN WINTER
Oil Meal Should Form Liberal Part
Of Grain Ration Where Coarse
Feed Is Given.

Where sheep are fed largely on
coarse rough feeds during the win
ter season. with little or no clover
or alfalfa hay, or no siIage or roots.
oil meal should always form a liberal
part of the grain ration. Its laxative
and toning qualities will counteract
the constipating effect of the dry,
coarse feeds, which is the cause OF
most Of the trouble which comes to
flock owners in the winter months.

CLUTCH DISCS STUCK IN
ENGAGEMENT


G. w. ID. writes: have just been
trying to put my car into service,
after keeping it laid up during the
winter, but find that the clutch will
not throw out although push as
hard upon. the pedal as dare to.
What shall / do?
Answer: We imagine that your
clutch must be of the disc type and
that the plates have remained
pressed together so long that their
surfaces have adhered rather strong
ly. If this is a fabricated metal disc
clutch, kerosene squirted in among
the discs will probably free them,
but IL the discs are asbestos faced
and intended to operate dry, this
treatment would be inadvisable. You
might jack up rear wheel, throw
the gears into high, start the engine,
push on the clutch pedal strongly
and gently apply the foot brake. This
ought to cause the discs to separate.
If you can get at them, you might
try prying them apart with a broad
screwdriver, while someone pushes
on the clutch pedal. Next time. you
lay up your car, you better leave the
clutch disengaged by fitting a stick,
cut to the correct length, between the
pedal and the heel board, and thus
avoid repetition of this trouble.
