GIVE TIRES GOOD attention
Projecting Fender Bolts or insufficient
Clearance Will Cause Damage
to Castings.

Be careful that a sharp turn Of the
front wheels does not bring the tire In
contact with a spring, fender or bump
er. AS the wheel turns this projection
will quickly cut through the tread of
the tire. When the car is heavily
loaded there is danger that in passing
over rough roads the tires will be
bumped or gouged by projections on
the tenders.
Bent or broken tenders may also be
In a position where they will gouge the
tires. Inspect beneath the fender and
make sure that there are no prOjec-
lions which could strike upon the tire.
You may find bolts rubbed smooth on
the tires.
If a change is made to oversize tires
be sure that there will be sufficient
clearance between tire and fender
when the car is loaded to capacity.
This is, however, provided by most car
manufacturers.

Bull Associations.

The first bull association in the Uni
ted States was organized in 1908 by
the Michigan Agricultural college. 1t
was a cooperative venture similar to
those which have existed in Europe for
Il long time. On July 1, 1917, there
were in this country 36 active associa-
tons in II states, with a total MEM
bership of 1,15S. owning 1S9 pure-bred
bulls. These cooperative organiza-
tons enable the owners of small herds
to unite in the purchase of n good
bull, so that each may own a share in

Though still in its infancy, the CO.
operative bull association movement
promises to become eventually a very
great factor in the improvement of
dairy cattle in the United States.

APPLY WIRE TO TERMINALS
Correct Way Of Performing Operation
Is to Keep Turning to Right to
Avoid UntWisting.

In applying wire to terminals, the cor.
rect way to perform the operation is
to twist the bare end of the wire
around the terminal in the same direc.
ton that the hands of a clock move.
This is because the screw thread is
right handed and the tendency in
tightening the nut will be to twist the
wire tighter even than it vas If the
wire is twisted the other way, the nut
tends to untwist it, making its hold
uncertain.

When Pedal Scrapes.

When the clutch or brake pedal is de-
pressed there often is a scraping sound
heard. This may be caused by the
pedal arm touching the flywheel or the
flywheel covering being forced against
the rotating wheel. Sometimes it Is
necessary to file the pedal arm to stop
the noise.-MOtor.

trated, writes G. G. Spreen in Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The exhaust
end Of the radiator Is plugged with a
nipple and pipe cap, a number of small
holes being drilled in the cap to enable
the gas to escape after having done its
work. At the intake end Of the radia-
tor some form Of low-pressure valve
should be placed. In the one illustrat-
ed a three-eighths-inch steel rod is
bent to form a lever at the upper end,
the lower end projecting through the
pipe and carrying a nut and a spring
to keep the proper tension. The valve
consists of two thin steel disks with
an asbestos disk between them, and Is
fastened with a cOtter pin in a slot
sawed in the three-eighths- .ich rod.
The asbestos disk Is slightly larger
than the steel disk. While such a
valve, Of course, is not able to with.
stand any considerable pressure, it
will close the pipe nicely in an install
lation such as this one.
A cotter pin is placed through the
rod, just above the pipe, to take the
thrust of the spring and hold the valve
in proper position. The bent upper end
of the rod may be sunk into the floor,
where it will be out of the way but
easily turned by d touch Of the driv-
er's heel.
Gas From Exhaust Pipe.
The exhaust gas is taken from the
main exhaust pipe through a flexible
metal conduit, one end Of which Is
fastened into the radiator pipe with a
cotter pin and the other similarly
fastened into a lateral, or ~" pipe
fitting. This fitting may be bolted
around the exhaust pipe, n side Of
1t being cut out so that 1t a be slip
ped over the pipe, in case the exhaust
pipe Is so arranged that the fitting
cannot be readily slipped over its end.
A hole is made in one side Of the ex-
haust pipe where the "Y" is to come.
The heating efficiency will undoubt-
eddy be higher if the exhaust pipe is
tapped between the engine and the
muffler; this may, however, involve
some possibility Of a noisy exhaust

MANY BIRDS ARE
USEFUL ON FARM
What It Eats Decides Whether
Feathered Songster Is Bene-
ficiaI or Injurious.
MANY FRIENDS OF FARMERS
Department Of Agriculture Offers to
Tell A~gricuIturist Whether Inhabi-
tants Of Fields Are Doing
More Good Than Harm.

Whether a bird is beneficial or in
furious to growing crops depends al
most entirely upon what it eats. If
it consumes harmful insects the bird
is an ally of the farmer; If 1t feeds
largely on growing crops 1t may be
an enemy. Not all birds are bene-
fetal, but the useful kinds far out
number the injurious, and so great Is
their value as insect destroyers in the
United States that to them the United
States department of agriculture gives
credit of being one of the greatest CON
trolling factors in limiting the devel-
opment of insect pests and in prevent
ing many disastrous outbreaks.
In the case of species which are
abundant or which feed to some extent
on crops, the question of their aver
age diet becomes one of supreme i'm
portance and only by stomach exami-
nations can it be satisfactorily solved.
Field observations have proved to be
inconclusive. Birds are often accused
of eating this or that product of cul-
tivatiOn, when an examination of the
stOmachs shows the accusation to be
false,

Aid Offered to Farmers.

The biological survey of h United
States department Of agriculture has
conducted in the past few years a sys-
tematic investigation Of the food OF
the species most common about farms
and gardens and offers to supply infor-
nation to any farmer in doubt as to
whether his birds are an asset or u
liability.
Within certain limits birds eat the
kind of food that is most accessible,
especially when their natural food is
scarce or wanting. Thus they some
times injure the crops of the farmer
who has Internationally destroyed
their natural food in his improvement
of swamp or pasture. Much of the
damage done by birds and complained
of by farmers and fruit growers arises
from this very cause. The berry-bear-
ing shrubs and seed-bearing weeds
have been cleared away, and the birds
have no course but to attack the cul-
tivated grain or fruit which has re-
placed their natural food supply.

Destroy Many Insects.

The great majority of land birds
subsist upon insects during the period
OF nesting and molting. and also feed
their young upon them during the first
few weeks. Many species live almost
entirely upon insects, taking vegetable
food only when other subsistence fails.
1t is thus evident that in the course of
a year birds destroy an incalculable
number of insects. and it is difficult to
%overestimate the value of their serr-
ices in restraining the great tide of In
sect life.
In winter, in the northern part OF
the country. insects become scarce or
entirely disappear. Many species OF
birds, however, remain during the cold
season and are able to maintain life
by eating vegetable food, as the seeds
of weeds. Here again is another use

these weed seeds and thereby lessen
ing the growth of the next year.
