Methods and materials for finish ing the bodies and running gear of notor-cars have been brought to 2 hlsh state of perfection by most manufacturers" says a local distrib- utor of cars, 'but 1t Is as well to re- member that there are certain abuses against which no finish, however perfect and durable, can long en- dure.
 NO Varnish will withstand heinz scrubbed "ith a brush or with bot water. No varntsh will withstand not water. No varnish will with stand the chemical action of ammonia or any Kind of tive soap, nor any of the common washing fluids or DOW ders.
 The~varnish of an automobile will not stand having dust or mud rubbed ofr, nor will it endure the grits of aust and mud driven into 1t by the water blast from a high pressure hose to which it Is often subjected.
 Use water between 40 and 50 de- srees with a soft, bIeached wool sponge. It is best to use no kind of soap unless 1t be pure castillo or a neutral linseed oil soap. Mud. wet or dry, should be removed with flow ing water squeezed from a clean sponge or flowing water from hose with a little pressure-never with a nozzle. Dry off with a clean, soft Nchamois. Do not rub the finish or use hand pressure more than suffl- cient to dry off the water. The water evaporates and leaves the fin ish in good condition.
 When not in use, keep your car covered with a soft linen cover. All | dust contains grit and all smoke is heavily charged with acid, and agains: these a cloth offers adequate protec- l ton.
 However we'll varnish has endur- ed the weather testing, 1t may be seriously affected by sudden extremes or temperature. glass dish may be filled with boiling water, without cracking it, providing the water l, poured in slowly;-the same thins holds true when using ice water.

ERADICATING STOCK DISEASE
Bull Associations Play important Part
in Combating Ailments of Dairy
Cattle.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Cooperative bull associations play
n considerable part in combating dis
eases of dairy stock. While morgan
lied dairy farming operations have a
tendency to spread abortion, tubercu-
losis and other communicable diseases,
the policy of the bull associations
works in the opposite direction. For
example, an Iowa association will not
allow any of its members to receive
the benefits of the association until his
herd has been tested for tuberculosis
and all reactOrs eliminated. One
farmer who did not dispose of the re-
actors after the tuberculin test was
applied was refused the use of bulls
until he complied with the rules of the
association.
The educational work of each asso-
citation makes the members alert to
prevent the Introduction ad spread of
disease of any kind. The well-man-
aged bull association requires that the
cattle of each member shall he tested
for tuberculosis and takes every
known precaution to prevent the intro
duction of infectious abortion.

Weekly Health Talks
What Doctor Pierce Has
Done for Humanity
BY DOCTOR GRIPS.

It has always seemed to me that DIR.
Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, should be placed
near the top when a list of Americas
great benefactors is written. He studied
and conquered human diseases to a de-
gree that few realize. Whenever he found
a remedy that overcame disease, he at
once announced it in the newspapers and
told where it could be bought at a small
price. He did not follow the usual custom
of keeping the ingredients secret, SO that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name of
each root and herb he used. And 80 today
the names of Or. Pierce and his medicines
are widely known, and they stand for bet
ter health and better citizenship.
One of this great physicians most sue
cessful remedies is known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. These are little, sugar
coated pills, composed of Mayapple, leaves
of aloe, root of Jalap-things that Nature
grows in the ground. These Pellets are
safe because they move the bowels gently,
leaving no bad after-etfects, as so many
pills do. Very often they make a person
who takes them feel like a new man or
woman, for they cleanse the intestines of
hard, decayed and poisonous matter hat

KEEP ALL DAIRY COWS CLEAN
Dirty Udders and Thighs Cause ri.
rect Contamination of MiIk-Use
Soap and Water.

By p. K. HEERwAGEN, State Agrl-
cultural College, For Collins, Colo.)
Clean milk is impossible if the cows
are not kept clean. Dirty udders and
thighs cause direct contamination of
the milk, for clinging dirt particles are
rubbed off into the milk by the mixer.
The tail in switching will brush off
particles from the thighs and TANKS
into the pail. The udder should be
brushed clean with n brush or clean
cloth previous to milking. 1t is advis-
able to wash off the TANKS and thighs
occasionally with soap and water and
1t is recommended to wash the udder
off every time previous to milking and
dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Some dairymen keep h~indquarters
clipped, which is a good practice, for
then these parts are easier kept clean.

Layers Need Animal Feed.

Chickens eat a large amount of ami
NAL matter in the form of insects,
worms. and other low forms of animal
life when allowed to range at will.
If the poultry keeper is to get the
best results from his fowls in winter
he must furnish a substitute for this
class of feed. For this purpose green
III bone, meat or fish scraps, and ami.
nal meal may be used. Green cut
bone is usually fed by itself, while the
scraps and meal may be readily mixed
with the mash. Cut bone consists of
green or fresh bone sliced or shaved
into thin pieces by a bone cutter.
Bones fresh from the butcher have
more or less meat adhering. and the
more of such meat the better, for the
combination of bone and meat is ex-
cellent for producing eggs. Where a
good supply of fresh bone can be OBJ
tanned regularly IL is very useful, but
1t cannot be kept sweet for such long
periods as the scraps and animal meal.
Green cut bone should be fed carefully
ond in n sweet condition, otherwise
bowel trouble may result. Ope pound
a day is sufficient for 20 hens, but not
over one-half pound should be fed to
that number when first beginning to
feed II

Ten years ago a farmer in northern
Wisconsin began to breed Gournseys
II a Holstein district. He now has a
fine herd and wonders why buyers
never come his way. The reason is
hat when buyers want Guernseys
they naturally go to a Guernsey dis
trict. AS a rule, the breeders of pure
bred cattle already have learned this
lesson. The principle is as true of
grades as of registered stock, but
many owners of grade cattle seem to
have overlooked it. All dairy breeds

neighborhood, and ever on the same
farm several dairy breeds and all pos
sible combinations of them are seen.
Perhaps n year a Holstein bull is
used, the next year a Jersey, and &C.
~casionally q bull of no particular
breed. In a grade herd recently
studied there were Holsteins, Guern-
seys, Jerseys, Shorthorns and every
possible cross and mixture of these
breeds. The owner admits hat his
cattle do not sell to advantage, and
the reason is not hard to find.

tial to the best results in feeding. Most
or fish scraps, while suburban poultry
keepers either feed this product or
table scraps; but few farmers buy any
meat feed. Some form of feed con-
tanning animal protein must be sup
piled if any eggs are to be obtained
in the winter. Skim milk or butter
milk is available on many farms, and
where it is not it would probably pay
most farmers to buy beef scrap or some
other meat feed. Fowls on free range
On the farms pick up bugs and in
sects during part of the year, which
furnish this protein feed, so that the
use of additional meat feeds is regu-
lated by individual conditions. Fowls
closely confined need more animal feed
than those on a good range; and in
a cold climate, where no bugs or in
sects are available during several win
ter months. more animal feed must
be supplied than in sections where the
winters are mild.
Balanced Ration for Poultry.
A well-balanced, simple ration may
be made of equal parts, by weight, of
wheat, cracked corn, and oats fed
twice daily, usually in the morning and
at night. The grain may be either
scattered on the range in summer and
in the litter in the poultry house in
winter, or fed in the house throughout
the year. 1t should be supplemented
with a wet or dry mash of two parts
of cornmeal and one part each OF
wheat bran, middlings, and beef scrap
One feed of mash may be fed at any
time during the day and the grain fed
for the other two meals. Regulate the
proportions of grain and mash so that
the hon will consume about equal parts
of each. About one quart of grain
daily should be fed to every 16 Leg.
horn hens, or to 10 general purpose
hens, such as the Plymouth Rocks,
with an equal weight of mash. This
amount, however, varies, and should
be regulated by the feeder, as the hens
should be eager for each meal. Leg.
horns will eat about So pounds of grain
and mash in n year, n Plymouth
Rocks or hens of the general-purpose
class, about rs pounds.

GRIT ESSENTIAL

Grit is essential to the health
of fowls and to economy in feed
ing. Grit takes the place of
teeth in preparing the feed for
further digestion and is required
for the proper preparation of
feed in the gizzard. When the
feed is not properly taken care
of in this organ an undue strain
is thrown on the fowls system,
often resulting in disease, and
also allowing much of the nutri-
ment to pass through the birds
body without being absorbed.
In every pen or yard u box of
grit should be kept.

CLEAN MUFFLER
IS Great NEED
What Care Does 1t Require and
to What Troubles Is 1t SUBJ
ject Is Often Asked.
LET GAS PASS OUT QUIETLY
Let It Alone Until 1t Becomes Clogged
1t Does Its Work Without Any
Attention From Driver-Dis-
order Quickly Noticed.

"'Why is a muffler used on a car?
Is a common question among motor
ists," says G. V. Kenworthy, president
of the Stewart Automobile school, land
they sometimes add, What care does
1t need and to what troubles is it sub
ject?'
"The purpose of the mufler is to d.
minish the noise of the exhaust. The
gas escapes from the exhaust valve at
high pressure and strikes the car with
disagreeable force unless it is silenced.
It is necessary to reduce the pressure
from each explosion and to allow the
gas to escape so that a great deal of
it's force is dissipated and its d%isjointed
nature completely changed. The gas
then passes out quietly with only a
slight pulsation or %throbbing.
Method Simple.
"The methods by which this is
brought about are very simple. A gas
passing along an ordinary pipe would
be slowed down and spread out. But
this arrangement would require too
long a pipe. So battle plates are used
to make the gas turn corners and force
its way through small holes in the
plates. In some muffiers the gas en-
ters an expansion chamber. All this
time it is losing heat and so contract
ing; thus it slows down more and
more.
1.-The care of a muffler is to leave
it alone until it becomes clogged. 1t
does its work without any attention
and requires nothing from the driver.
The only time we think of it is when
we wish to find out if the engine is
missing explosions. Then we cut out
the muffler and listen to the sound of
the exhaust.
Beware SCOT.
about the only trouble to which the
muller is subject is that it becomes
clogged with SCOT. This may be caused
by toe rich a mixture from the carbu-
rotor, indicated by black smoke from
the exhaust. Or, it may be caused by
oil working up on top of the pistons,
giving the bluish-white smoke char,
acteristic of too much lubricant. An.
other cause is where the carbon has
been scraped loose from the cylinders,
but allowed to fall on the piston. This
is carried into the muller and so helps
to clog.
'It is easy to tell If the muller is
clogged where there is a cut-out. Run
the machine up a fairly steep hill. If
the a speeds up with the cut-out
open it shows that the muffler is
clogged. A well-designed silencer
should not cut down the power of the
engine more than 3 per cent. This diff
ference will hardly be noticeable on an
ordinary hill. So the fact that the car
slows down would indicate back pres
sure due to clogging."
