DIFFICULTY IN WASHING CAR
Operation Can Be Performed by Man
Working Alone u Barrel lie
Placed on Platform.

The great difficulty in washing ID
tomobiles, where no water under pres
sure is available, is to operate the
sprayer pump, and at the same time
use a sponge effectively, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. A large water
and air-tight barrel with both heads In
tact will be required. A faucet or
valve, to which a hose can be attach
ed, is inserted in one of these heads.
The barrel is then placed, with the
faucet down. upon some sort Of plat
form. A hose is attached to this fau-

Whale Fat Is Eaten.

The last annual report of the United
States commissioner of fisheries states
that in 1914 Denmark used 10000 bar
rels of hardened whale fat in the mar
garin industry.
Preparations are under way in Nor
way for utilizing this material in the
same way. The product is said to keep
and taste well. Whale fat is wen bet
ter suited for making lard.
In this connection it is stated that
experiments are in progress in the
United States with fish oils to deter
mine the possibility of making them
suitable for use in the human dietary.

This young Frenchman had learned

SYSTEM OF CROP ROTATION
Successful DaIrymen Will Have One
Market or Cash Crop Besides
Profit From Dairy.

The most successful dairymen have
a system of crop rotation that enables
them to have one market or cash crop,
besides the profit of the dairy. The
increased fertility that is brought on
to the farm from the use Of concen
trated feed stuffs more than offsets
the amount of fertility removed by
the sale Of the dairy products. An
other factor is that the same help
required to properly conduct a dairy
can find time outside of the routine
dairy work to are for n profitable

Milk and cream from ever a few

buckets commonly used.
Cans are convenient for collecting

Many people are interested in keep
ing Standard bred poultry, but they
do not feel that they can afford to
sell off the flock Of mixed chickens
they have and buy all standard bred
stock. Besides. some feel that they
are not sure Of the breed Of chickens
they want to raise.
These things being true, one of the
best solutions we see is to let the boy
or the girl buy few eggs from stan
dard bred stock. raise few chickens
each year and soon he will have a
