Dressed Beef.

1t is reported that Sir Francis Web
ster is wealthy manufacturer Of
hemp goods In Scotland and the own
er of stock range In Texas on which
thousands of cattle range, clad, during
the winter at least, in garments other
than their own hide and hair.
Sir Francis cows, it appears, wear
suits Of hemp cloth made in his own
factory which protect them from cold
and snow, make them less susceptible
to tuberculosis and increase their daily
yield of milk.
Each COW, it is said, has two suits a
week. They are not elaborate affairs,
by any means-simply overall blank
cts that fit loosely. There are 1000
cows in his dairy farm and they use
1900 hemp blankets week.
That, Of course, means added ex-
pense, but the yield of milk during the
cold weather is about II per cent
larger than from cows not thus pro-
tected.

PLAN TO REMEDY
IGNITION PARTS
Expert Discusses This important
Section of Motorcar'S Nerv-
Gus System.
EXAMINE ALL Connections
Make Sure That All Wires Are Tight
and That Insulation Is Not Worn
Off at Any Spot, Thus caus-
Ing Short Circuit.

The best way to locate any cleo
trical trouble is to begin at one end
of the ignition system and make a
series of tests in regular order. Be-
gin first with the spark plugs under
suspicion, writes w. III. Stewart, Jr.,
president of the Stewart Automobile
school. I'm an exchange.
Moisture on the exposed part of the
porcelain will often cause the engine
to misfire, but this trouble on a wet
day may be obvlated by greasihg the
porcelain with vaseline. Including de-
fective porcelain, other frequent
causes of spark plug trouble may be
traced to oil or particles of carbon col
lecting between the points and sooting
of the porcelain points out of adjust
ment or burned away. Ordinarily the
spark plug should be adjusted to about
the thickness of an old worn dime. de-
pendent upon the ignition system, car
bureter adjustment and design of the
engine.
Look at Distributor Case.
When you have eliminated the spark
plug, examine all wiring and terminal
connections, making sure that all wires
are tight and that the insulation isn't
worn off at any place, thus causing
short circuits. Next open the dis
tributor case and see If there is any
dirt or carbon dust. IF the trouble
is here It can be eliminated by wiping
with n clean rag. But If it is yet
undiscovered then perhaps the msfir-
ing is caused by the contact points be-
ing pitted. These should be cleaned
and adjusted very accurately accord
ing to instructions Of the manufactur-
err. Also make sure that the tappet
spring has not weakened or been
broken. Remember that this spring
Is under a constant strain and ii will
bear watching
Cause of Serious Missing.
Moisture or grease on the surface
of the distributor housing will some
times cause very serious current
slsips across the surface of this for
eign matter instead of going through
its regular channels. The remedy is
TO wipe off the surface. The presence
Of moisture may be explained by the
fact that Ii Is drawn in with the air
through the radiator or may condense
on tie surface on damp day. The
grease often collects from the oil spray
thrown out by the engine.
The ignition system is delicate
assemblage and II is up to you to
keep your eye constantly upon it. Lit
tie attentions like these give you
smooth running engine and help you
to eliminate expensive repairs.

Vinegar Aids in Preventing spoiage.
During the past year the home
economics experiment kitchen of the
United States department of agricul-
ture has been experimenting with the
addition of a small amount of acid
vinegar-to nonacid vegetables being
canned. This work is being continued
and the results thus far indicate that
one to four tablespoonfuls of vinegar
added TO a quart Jar help greatly in
reducing the amount of spoilage.
When the vinegar Is added, the time
of processing can be reduced. For in
stance, it is found that corn, which
ordinarily is difficult to can success
fully, keeps well when four table
spoonfuls Of vinegar are added to
quart jar processed three hours con-
tinuously. String beans, old peas and
spinach are other vegetables success
fully canned by this method.
The addition Of vinegar to canned
vegetables in the amounts mentioned
modlfies to some degree the natural
flavor of the vegetable, but the result
Is not Objectionable to most people
and In many instances is not noticed.
