CARE FOR STORAGE BATTERY
Because Of Comparatively Brief Life
1t Should Be Given Good Treat.
ment by Owners.

After a storage battery is fifteen
months old the dealer considers 1t
worthless. The fact that the battery
has such a comparatively brief life at
best, should lead owners to give IL
careful treatment, so as to get maxi
mum service from it. Adding distilled
water to the cells to bring the fluid
up to the proper level. should be done
once a week in summer and twice 4
month In winter. But this Is not
enough; the gravity Of the solution
may not be correct.
A h%yd-ometer syringe test is the only
sure method Of determining the condl-
toin Of the battery, and if the cells
show below 100 each. they require
recharging. Once every two months
the battery should be taken to the
service station for charging, espe-
cially if the user Is a doctor or one
similarly occupied, whose car is start
ed and stopped many times each day.

Care In Planning Necessary.
Competent builders In every COM
munity now are familiar with modern
barn construction. They know how
the barn should be built so that the
greatest profit may be made from the
live stock it houses. The prospective
barn builder should exercise as much
care in planning this building as he
would in erecting n home, for OF the
plan depends whether or not he IN

as great as the need for homes. With
wheat at 1926 n bushel and other
grains in proportion, none Of them will
be wasted. And 1t is sheer waste to
house the live stock In poorly con-
structed barns, where they will require
a greater amount Of fuel In the shape
Of feed than they would in a tight
barn, where water Is available. There
is no place where work can be so
lightened IN the farm as in the barn.
In considering the car Of live stock,
the silo should be also considered.
