WORLD Is EAGER

OIL FOR THRoW-0UT COLLAR
There Are Several SeIf-Feeding Cups
on Market Which May Be Used
for This Purpose.

In certain cars 1t is necessary to
remove the floor boards in order to
lubricate the clutch throw-out collar.
AS consequence many car owners
neglect this important item of lubri-
cation, until trouble in the units
makes the need evident. In cases of
this kind where no provision has been
made for fabrication by having a
grease cup that extends up through
the floor boards 1t will be wise to in
stall an oil line to feed this part. This
can easily be done by arranging a
large oil cup to feed through small
opening into metal pipe running to
the throw-out collar. 1t Is necessary
to have a small opening, so that the
flow of oil will not be too rapid, for
obvious reasons. There are several
self-feeding oil cups on the market,
which may be used to advantage In
this connection.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A tractor may be either a profitable
or an Improbable investment. Each
farm has its own peculiarities; and a
farmer must weigh the advantages and
disadvantages carefully before buying
tractor. He should study the ex-
perences Of those who have used trac-
tors. in farm work, paying particular
attention to those whose farms con-
form most nearly to his own in size
and system of cropping. This is ad-
vice from specialists of the United
States department of agriculture.
On an average, one farm in 30 in the
United States now uses tractor. 1t
has been estimated by manufacturers
that over 100000 tractors will be made
this year. 1t behooves every farmer
contemplating buying one to study his
farm problems from every angle.
Advantages in Using Tractor.
The advantage of a tractor lies not
so much in the reduction in the cost of
doing piece of work as In being able
to do 1t In less time. Thus the NUM-
Der of acres farmed can be increased
and the work done quickly. Often the
saving of time is the important factor
In making a profit on the crop grown.
A tractor can be kept on the job In
hot weather when horses are at dis
advantage. It can do heavy work and
do it rapidly thus covering the desired
acreage in the proper season. 1t saves
man labor, thus enabling the farm to
be worked with less hired help. 1t
sometimes decreases the number of
horses needed, thus saving both invest
ment in horses and the expense of their
feed.
The tractor owner can increase his
| income somewhat by doing custom
work of his neighbors; but this Is
often a doubtful practice. Outside
work must be done at time when 1t
will not interfere with the necessary
work on his own place or he will lose
more by neglect than he makes by the
custom work.
Disadvantages Mentioned by owners.
The packing of damp soil and the
difficulty of efficient operation are the
chief disadvantages mentioned by trac-
tor users. Where early spring work Is
necessary, the packing Of the soil, espe-
eially a heavy soil, is serious OBJ
lection.

Every jack should be fitted with a

car. If the jack is so equipped, it will
allow the car to be lacked up out of

One of the cleverest uses for the
jack was seen recently, when wound
ed soldier drove into town in heavy
car that had broken spring. AS he
had crippled leg, he was not strong
enough to lift the body of the car to
place a bumper or log between the
axle and the frame. But he had wise
ly provided himself with small low
jack, which conveniently fitted into the
space between the axle and the body.
The jack is indispensable during the
spring Overhauling or when there are
bent parts to the body or frame. For
example, bent body parts may be
Strengthened by giving the jack lev
erage against the garage wall.
Jacks have long been used In
garages that are not equipped with

ton to this, when Strengthening bent

certain amount of knowledge on the
part of the operator can scarcely he
considered q disadvantage. The train
ing can be easily obtained at small ex-
pense. But too many men attempt to
run tractors without learning anything
about them except the starting, stop
ping and shifting gears. The i'm
portant thing Is the ability to detect
trouble the minute it begins to de-
velop, and know how to remedy II
promptly instead Of allowing 1t to run

1t pays to spend few days gaining
experience under competent instruc'
tor. 1t Is unwise to attempt to run a
tractor without such preparation. With
the increasing use of tractors, as well
MS automobiles and stationary engines,
farmers are rapidly becoming familiar
with the care and operation of gas
engines. At the same time, tractors
are being improved and simplified so

The comparatively large investment

tractor is not adaptable to all farm
work where horses are ordinarily used.
However, the tractor can do much
work that horses cannot do-work
where belt power Is needed.
Fit the Tractor to the Farm.
| One of the most important points to
consider when buying tractor Is
the size of the farm. Experienced
! tractor owners rarely recommend the
purchase of a tractor for use on farm
with less than 100 or 100 acres under
cultivation, and for such farms the
two-plow outfit is usually preferred.
However, most of the farms on which

somewhat larger than this, and ma
jority of the tractors pull three plows.

there Is larger amount of work to be
done, and where the conditions are
such that one man can operate an out
fit of this size.
Size, however, is not the only fac
tor to be considered, and the question
whether or not a tractor will prove
profitable Is a problem in farm man
agement which must be worked out for
the individual farm.

SPARK PLUG TROUBLES

Two frequent causes of spark
plug trouble are oil or particles
of carbon collecting between the
points and sooting of the porce-
lain. The first mentioned Is
remedied by carefully removing
the oil or carbon and thus clear
ing the gap. If the carbon on
the porcelain is hard, do not at
tempt to scrape it Off. Soak the
porcelain in kerosene or liquid
carbon remover until the carbon
is soft enough to wipe off clean
ly with cloth.
Points out of adjustment or
burned away will also cause
missing. The points should be
adjusted to gap of from one
thirty-second to one-sixty-fourth
of an inch, depending upon the
ignition system, carburetor adj
justment and design of motor.
