Alcohol is the cheapest and one of
the best anti-freeze liquids on the mar
ket for the automobile, according to
w. A. Buck, instructor in gas and
steam engineering in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
ut will not affect the hose connec-
tions between the engine and the radi-
atOr and because Of its low freezing
point will lower the freezing point of
the cooling solution in the water sys-
tenn Of a gas engine to as low a point
as desired" said Mr.. Buck.
Several anti-freeze solutions are
on the market, but the majority of
these are composed of glycerin and
alcohol, the glycerin being used to
stop the excessive evaporation of the
alcohol. This addition Of glycerin Is
not imperative, however, as there is
little evaporation unless the solution
is brought to the boiling point by the
%overheating Of the engine.
"FOr zero weather, three-fOurths wa
ter and One-fOurth alcohol should be
used. When the temperature is 10
degrees below zero a solution of 20
per cent water and 30 per cent alcohol
should be used, while for a tempera-
ture as low as 20 degrees below zero a
solution Of 60 per cent water and 40
per cent alcohol will be necessary.
The radiator should be filled from
time to time with a solution of the
same strength as the original"

in the ice house to stay, to be pre-

An open shed will preserve ice, or
it may be piled up in a field and kept
all summer by simply putting a cover
over it to keep off the rain and an
inner cover OF sawdust to keep out
the air. Such n crude way of keeping
ice is necessarily wasteful. but not to
the extent popularity supposed.
Roof Must Be Tight.
1t Is quite possible to put Il cube of
ice twelve feet through in a cheaply
constructed building and so pack it
with sawdust as to keep it in n very
satisfactory way until wanted during
the summer months. The roof must
be tight because water dropping often
in the same spot will bore Il hole
through the sawdust covering down
to the ice; warm air will follow and
we all know that air must be kept
away from ice or it will melt rapidly.
Drainage Is another very important
consideration. The bottom must be

Meeting Labor Demand.

Although the largest acreage on
record was planted in 1918 by Ameri-
can farmers, the great crops of the
year were harvested under difficulties
not appreciably greater than those in
normal times, says the annual report
of the secretary Of agriculture.
"The department Of agriculture con-
tinued throughout the year to give
earnest attention to the securing and
mobilization Of an adequate supply of
farm labor" the report states. ut
maintained its representatives, sta
toned in eacn state in the spring of
1917, and perfected its own o~rganiza-
ton, enlisting the more active CO.
operation of the county. agents and
other extension workers.
ut more fully co-ordinated its activ-
tiles with the department of labor, a
representative Of the department Of
agriculture having been designated a
member of the war labor policies
board which was created by the presi-
dent. 1t has also aided the war de-
partment in connection with the clas-
sification of agricultural registrants.
Special efforts were made, beginning
early in the year, to impress upon the
residents of urban communities the
necessity Of aiding farmers in the
planting and harvesting of their crops.
"The response to appeals along this
line was generous. In Kansas, for *
ample, where the situation was espe-
cially difficult. the reDOrtS Indicate
that more than $4,000 workers were
supplied to farmers to assist in the
wheat harvest. The potato crop in
two counties in Texas was saved
through the aid of the business men in
the local communities, and in Illinois
$4,000 workers were registered for
harvest work."
Many other examples could be cited,
the secretary says.

Specializing Often Wins.

Many persons do not market by par
Gel post because they do not have a
large variety of produce or because
their supply is available only part Of
the year. While it is true that a con-
tinuous supply of a number of products
Is more satisfactory to customers, such
a supply is not absolutely necessary
in order to establish a parcel post
trade.
Many persons have secured custom
ers by specializing in one or two kinds
of produce, such as butter or eggs,
which can be supplied during the en-
tire year, and then these customers
have offered an outlet for other COM
modities which can be furnished only
occasionally OF for produce which is
rarely to be had in city markets. In
most of these cases it vas necessary
only to send q letter or card to salts
fled regular customers asking them If
they wished to obtain certain kinds Of
produce that were for sale at that
time.
Such letters tend to keep up a per-
sonal relationship between the pro,
Queer and his customers which makes
1t easier to keep up business relations.

In some sections of the country
farmers are building cooperative cold
storage plants for the proper storage
before shipment of perishable farm
products.

provides a packing room where the
work of handling is done to the best
possible advantage.
Next to the packing room is n pre-

This is for the purpose of taking the

equipped with Il chemical cart would
be of the greatest utility.
The office of farm management of
the United States department of agri.
culture has for some time urged the
use of chemical apparatus as more
effective than water against fires on
the farm, especially where kerosene,
gasoline or other oil is involved, and
as an Indispensable reinforcement to
the use of water in all cases. That is
secured in the California plan together
with an even more effective thing, the

Good Construction Required.
To be satisfactory a cold-storngt
building requires good construction
This plan provides u good. solid, con
crete foundation with walls and foot
ings solid enough to be permanent
There are concrete floors laid as O
foundation for the insulation. Above
the regular insulation Is a carefully
made floor of cement.
The walls and ceiling are made the
same as the floor with the exception
of the concrete floor u%nderlayer.
Waterproofed insulating board Is
used alp around the c~old-storage room
and the ice room, as shown in the
cross sections.
D Il will be noticed that the packing
room and preceding room are built
In the annex to the main building and
have lower ceilings. The space be-
tween these ceilings and roof is util-
lied for the storage of packing mate
rails.
Such buildings are useful in COM
munities where small fruits and veg
etables are grown to be shipped some
distance to large market sections. The
man in charge Of the cOld-storage
plant attends to the packing and load
ing. so that the packages are uniform
and true to weights, measures and
grades. The farmers simply grow
the stuff and haul it to the packing
house in packing trays. The man in
charge keeps track of each farmers
account and renders a statement the
first Of each month.
Ice Easily Kept.
1t is easy to keep ice all summer
II you know how. When ice is stored
away for summer use and leaks away
before 1t is wanted there Is a reason
for 1t. In the first place there must
be a sufficient quantity of ice together

lection against warm air and there
must be no leak In the roof.

0lr-tlgnt, but 1t must he porous enough
For this reason n base formed Of rough
stones covered with cinders and the
cinders covered with a foot Of saw
lust makes a good bottom. A very
satisfactory substitute is made BY
laying small round poles in the bottom
of the ice house covered with straw
and the straw covered with sawdust
about a foot deep.
There is a good deal in packing the
Ice In the house to make 1t keep well,
1t should be put in during cold wealth
er and all the chinks carefully filled
with broken ice and the whole mass
well frozen together by pouring on
water. BY doing this very carefully
the ice can be frozen together almost
solid so the mir will all be forced out.
There should be a space of a foot
between the ice and the sides of the
house all around and this foot filed
in with sawdust tamped down. The
sawdust should be at least a foot
deep on top Of the Ice; Is inches is
better.
Must Have Attention.
A great deal of ice is lost during
the spring months when the weather
Is getting warm, but not warm enough
to require the use of ice in the re-
frigeratOr. During these weeks the
Ice house Is forgotten, and it melts
a little and settles. The settling proc.
ess opens cracks in the wet sawdust
and some of these cracks will extend
through to the ice. After the house
is filed and covered with sawdust it
should have attention at least once
a week. If the sawdust is kept packed
down well all around and on too the
Ice cannot melt very much.
There are other details to think
about, such as ventilation and shade.
1t Is a great help to have the house
shaded by a large tree or another
building. When the sun beats down
hot on top Of the roof the temperature
inside the building is q great deal
higher than 1t would be with the roof

REMOVE CARBON
FROM AN ENGINE
Oxygen Method Of Burning Out Is
Applicable to Nearly All
Contrivances.
HAND SCRAPING IS SUREs1
In Use Of Liquid Decarbonizers No
Direct Indication is Given at
Time Of the Effectiveness Of
the Treatment.

When an engine becomes carbOnizet
to the point that premature ignition
occurs us evidenced by the occurrence
Of the "carbon knock" the deposits
must be removed and the removal OF
the incrustations by hand scraping is
altogether the surest method, most au.
thorities agree.
Engines having detachable cylinder
heads can be cleaned by scraping with
the greatest facility, but those that
have not often require expensive dis
assembling to enable q thorough scrap
Ing to be performed. Still by the use
Of specially adapted scraping tools
most engines having valve openings Of
liberal diameters and cylinder-head
plugs a be pretty well cleaned with
out their being taken apart.
Oxygen Method.
The oxygen method Of burning out
deposits is applicable to nearly all en-
gines with cast-irOn pistOns and Is
fairly thorough in its results. When
oxygen is applied until no further COM
bustiOn can be obtained In any part
of the compression space 1t is certain
that the cleaning is complete.
This process requires no disassem-
bling Of the engine and can be per-
formed very cheaply If the owner can
obtain the S of the necessary outfit
to do the work himself and pay only
for the oxygen used. In the use of
liquid decarbOnizers, no direct indica-
ton Is given at the time Of the effec-
tiveness Of the treatment, as is the
cas- with hand scraping and the oxy-
gen method.
In order to be sure that a thorough
cleaning has been accomplished q
valve cap or two should be removed
before the application is made and the
thickness Of the deposit upon the in
side Of the cap and on the accessible
parts Of the valve chambers should be
noted.
Engine Not Always Clean.
If, after the d~ecarbonizer has been
applied, these parts are found to be
clean. 1t is p%resumptive evidence that
the piston heads and other not readily
accessible internal surfaces are also
free of deposits. Unless these precau-
tons r taken it sometimes happens
that even though later examinations
show the d~ecarbonizer to have had
but little effect, the owner being.in a
state of mind to expect the best re-
suits, thinks that his engine is clean
when this is not the case.

means of a mirror mounted on the

Britain from the glacial age to

depth Of four feet from the surface,
and the shepherds also averred that
there was a small patch of brown hair

the peat would act as a preservative.
