in Fig. 2. Wire the band SO AZ to
hold 1t ip place correctly. With
pencil or sbapstone stick and using the
holes in the band for template, mark
the lining. A harness leather punch
Is used in making the holes.
Secure the lining to the band In its
proper position with the aid Of few
small bolts and nuts. Next counter
sink the holes so the rivet heads will
be below the surface of the lining.
A countersinking tool made for this
purpose produces the most satisfac
tory results, but If one Is not avail
able one can get good results from
a wood screw countersinking tool and
a brace. If the latter Is used It should
be sharp or the lining will tear.
Should Have Wise.
II you do not possess a wise, place
the band on the bench in such a way
as to prevent it from slipping away,
and with the countersink bit counter
sink each hole. Do not go too deep
on this operation, only enough to al.
low the rivet heads to be well below
the inning surface.
Unless there are two people, one
holding the band and rivet bar while
the other is using the hammer, it Is
almost impossible to get along with
out wise.
Fig. 4 shows way of using an
old bolt held in wise with the head
Of the bolt resting on the arm of the
wise to give solid foundation. Insert
rivet through the lining and the
band and, with the whole in place, as
in Fig. 4, the head of the rivet rest
ing on the bolt draw the rivet snug
with rivet set, or short piece of
gas pipe. A few blows will be enough
to draw the rivet head and the lining
tight and in place. Avoid too much
pounding, as it will tend to draw the
rivet deeper in the material and pos
sibly weaken to the point of breaking
through.
1t may be found that rivets are too
long or too short; not more than
three-siXteenths of an inch should
protrude through the band. In rivet-
ing these ends use quick. light blows

Organized motorists of Illinois must

MEASURE: PRESSURE ON ROAD
Apparatus Designed by Bureau Of

The pressure eXerted on pavement
by the impact of motor truck wheel
as 1t passes over bumps, cracks and
depressions can now be accurately de-
termined by an apparatus designed by
the bureau of tests of the Illinois state
highway division. In this device the
wheel load is carried on an oil cylinder
three inches in diameter, the oil line
being connected with three-eghths-
inch cylinder, the piston working
against coil spring. This piston is
connected by levers to stylus moving
over rolling paper. The paper rolls
are operated by a connection with the
truck transmission, enabling the oper-
ntor to determine the relation of the
speed of the truck to the movement
of the paper.

MUST KEEP HEIFER GROWING
Larger She lis GreSer Will Be Her
Capacity to Consume and Turn
II Into Milk.

To get the best out of our dairy
cattle we must grow the heifers out
and develop them we'll, because the
heifer of today is the cow of tomor
row, says ]. P. LaMaster, chief Of
the dairy division, who states that the
majority Of the dairy heifers in South
Carolina are understood. The dairy
heifer is a future milk producing ma.
chine. and the larger she is the great
er will be her capacity to consume
feed and therefore to produce milk,
other things being equal.
The question often comes up in
feeding heifers as to whether they
are making good growth, for their
age. How big should slx-months
old heifer be? What should she
weigh? Normal growth for Jerseys
Holsteins, Ayrshires and dairy
Shorthorns have been worked out
by the Missouri experiment station

VALUE OF MILKING MACHINE
in Development Of More Profit
able Darying.

There can be little doubt now of
the value of the milking machine and
the important part that it is playing
in the development of more profitable
dairying. The contention that milk
ing machines are harmful to cows.
that they tend to tear down the udder
and render the cows useless, has
proven to be generally untrue.
The recent improvements that have
been made on the leading makes of
milking machines have made it pos
sible for the practical farmer to in
vest in one with a comparative GER
tainty of securing beneficial results
provided he gives the machine care.
The right use of the milking ma
chine is just one more step toward
more profitable darying, more con-
tented dairymen and more wholesome

With the exception of the marking

nal brake, from which one and one
half inches should be deducted for
the length of the internal brake.
To Prevent Slipping.
To guard against any accidental
slipping after the rear wheels have
been lacked up, place the axle on good
strong horses. If the latter are not
available, block the front wheels Sc
curely to prevent the car from roll
Ing ahead or back off the jacks. Be
sure that you are thoroughly familiar
with the method to be followed in re-
moving the wheels from your par
ticular make of car. If necessary, or
at least doubtful, consult your book
Of instructions. Follow the instruc-
tions minutely.
A large clevis pin, on the back of
which is first a washer and then a
cotter pin, holds the toggle connec-
tions of the brakes in place. The
toggles should be disconnected with
the brake shoes and the adjustment
screw removed from the guide that
acts upon the anchor bar. With the
removal of the coil springs that are
attached to the band the brake will be
ready to be taken off.
Here a word of warning may be
necessary. Before removing, carefully
note which is the top and which is
the bottom of the assembly, and see
lust how the spring is inserted be-
tween the guide and the anchor bar ;
the exercise of care at this point will
prevent trouble when the brake is
ready to be- replaced. All grease
around the dust guard and axle stub
should be removed and the parts
thoroughly cleaned with gasoline.
Now put the band in wise and with
a cold chisel and hammer chip off the
copper rivets that hold the lining to
the band, then drive out the old rivet
ends with punch.
Allow for Overlapping.
It is necessary in cutting the new
lining to allow for overlapping for
the reason that the rivet holes at
this point are very close to the edge,
and to leave the lining short here
would allow it to tear when the holes
are drilled. See Fig. / for the
method, of determining the correct
length. If the old lining can be re-
moved intact it can be used as a
guide in obtaining the new measure
ments. As the average private garage
generally lacks the tools used in this
work at service stations simpler means
have to be. employed.

ing of grease into the brake mechan-
ism. In order to remedy this, for b
time at least, cut thick strip
of felt long enough to be wrapped
around the axle bar three or four
times. The felt should be of suffi-
cient thickness to fit snugly between
the bar and the housing when wrapped
around the shaft.
