TAKE CARE OF AUTO
BATTERY In WINTER
Delicate Piece of Apparatus
Will Soon Depreciate.
It Should Be Kept Fully Charged and
Not Allowed to Freeze-Engine
Should Be Run at Regular Pc
RODS to Charge.

Many automobile owners do not real
ize the Importance and necessity of
giving their starting and lighting bat
teries proper attention in the winter.
The battery is a delicate piece of ap-
paratus and if miStreated will very
quickly depreciate.
Two things are of prime impor-
lance: The battery should be kept
fully charged and it should not be al
lowed to freeze. A battery when
standing idle for any length of time
gradually loses it's charge. Therefore
if the car is not run regularly during
the winter, in order to keep the bat
terry fully charged, the engine should
be run at regular periods to charge.
or else the battery should be charged
from an outside source of current
This should be done every two or
three weeks. The state of charge can
be easily read from a specific gravity
hydrometer syringe, which can be pur-
chased for about 81 from an auto sup
ply dealer. A reading Of from 1880
to 1900 indicates full charge. The
reading is indicated by the numbers
on the hydrometer at the level of the
liquid.
If the battery is fully charged it is
not apt to freeze when the tempera-
ire is above zero, Fahrenheit. 1t is
best, however to take the battery from
the car and into the house in extremely
cold weather.
External charging can be done from
an electric lamp socket If the current
is direct, by the use Of resistance
to limit the current going into the bat
terry. If the current is alternating,
a rectifier must be used to make it
direct.

According to the United States de-
partment Of agriculture specialists, the
compost pile is fertile source Of valu-
able material for replenishing the plant
food supplies of the soil. Proper utili-
cation of the compost saves much fer
tilizing material which ordinarily is
wasted on the average farm. The ex-
penSe of making the compost heap is
slight as compared with the fertilizing
value of the resultant material.
Compost Heap Essential.
The essentials of the compost heap
are to equip it with a water-tight foun-
dalton by pudding clay. This is done
by spreading the clay 10 to II inches
thick and then moistening end tram
pling it thoroughly. A framework of
logs or lumber should be built up
around the pile and increased in height
as the compost heap is built higher.

MONTHS OF HEAVY HARVESTS

There are some months In which

should be placed over the clay founda-
ton. Above this layer of manure 5
or inches deep should be distributed,
and If raw rock phosphate is available,
from 80 to so pounds should be scat
tered broadcast over the manure. Then
another layer of manure should be
added and the process continued. 1t Is
essential to keep the pile of refuse
moist by sprinkling it frequently. 1t
is also necessary to keep the compost
heap well packed and tramped. Ordi-
narily 1t takes about year for the
stable refuse in a compost heap to rot
sufficiently for use when it should be
spread on the land in the late fall.
Manure Thoroughly Rotted.
The fundamental value of the COM
post pile comes from the fact that the
manure is thoroughly rotted and it's
plant food content is in excellent con-
dtion for immediate soil use when APP
piled to the fields, while during it's
period of decomposition it is main
tanned in excellent condition to resist
teaching and weathering.

CLEAN DEPOSITS
FROM OIL BASE
Sediment and Muck Accumulate
Much Faster Than the Car
Owner Ever lmagines.
NASTY BUT NECESSARY JOB
Small Lumps of Carbon From CyIin-
ders, Sand From Road and Metal
Turnings Have Been Found
Give Engine Needed Care.

(By WILLIAM H. STEWART, JR., Pres
ident of the Stewart Automobile
School)
What a world of trouble you are
storing up for yourself if you do not
drop the oil base and clean it. Sedi-
ment and muck accumulate faster than
you think and sooner or later you will
have a ruined engine on your hands.
1t is not sufficient to change the oil
regularly, as advised by the manufac-
turer. The oil base should be taken
down and the deposits removed occa-
SiOnally.
Nature of Accommodations.
The first time you do this you will
be surprised at the nature of the ac-
cumulatiOns. Small Jumps of carbon
from the cylinders, sand from the road,
even particles Of metal turnings left
there when you car came from the
factory, have all been found in the
oil base. But worst of all is the thick
muck Of burnt oil and carbon which
covers the bottom and sides. The grit
and other particles are heavy and sink
to the bottom, but the muck remains
even after the base is drained of the
old OIL
The advice usually given to the mo-
torist may be summed up as follows !:
N'Drain out all the old oil, replace the
plug and fill to the usual level with
Kerosene. Run the engine not more
than 30 seconds, and then drain the
oil base. Repeat if thought necessary.
This stirs up the muck and sediment,
which runs out with the kerosene. In
this way the base and bearings are
cleaned with a minimum of effort and
without removing the crank case"
Grit SpIashed Around.
"Stir it up" Indeed, the grit
which should lie dormant until scraped
out by hand is stirred up and splashed
all around the crank case and also
carried into the bearings. 1t forms a
fine grinding compound, which either
shortens the life Of the bearings or
clogs up the oil holes causing the bear
ings to run dry. The result is even
worse if the oiling system is one of
the present type forcing oil through a
hollow crank-shaft directly into the
bearings. Right into the bearings,
mind you! and under pressure, too !
Can anyone defend this method after
realizing what this means? 1t is not
a sufficient answer to say that the oil
must pass through a stro ler.
So although it is a dizzy job and a
disagreeable one to remove the crank
case for proper cleaning, it is the only
way to give your engine the care it
really needs.

DUCK RAISING ON INCREASE
Number of Commercial Farms
There Are Three Glasses.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrculture)
According to the census of 1910
there were 2,906525 ducks in the
United States, valued at $1,567, 164,
showing a decrease In number of
nearly 40 per cent as compared with
1900. 1t should be stated, however,
that the animal census Of 1900 was
taken June l, and that of 1910 April
10, which fact would considerably re-
duce the above percentage, although
only fowls three months old or over
were reported on only 10 per cent of
the farms in the country and are most
numerous in the following states, ar
ranged according to their production:
Iowa, Illinois, New York, Pennsyl-

Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and
Ohio, the number ranging from about
225,0O0 head in Iowa to 10000 in
Ohio. New York is the only one Of
these states which shows an increase
in the number of ducks, while all the
others show a marked decrease. Long
