MAKING AUTO
LOOK SMARTER
Some Things Which Owners
Can Do to Prepare Car
for Summer.

The English publication, The Car,
in n recent issue has an article n
titled "~oyerhauiing for tho Spring"
The writer admits the im%possibliity
OF the amateur correcting major
faults, but he offers simple methods
Of repair which. In his words. make
the car very much smarter" The
advice. in part. is as follows:
"DeearbonizinE is a necessary Job
that must be tackled at all too fire..
duent intervals. but 20. 900 miles may
usually be allowed before II is ncces-
sary TO carry the work so far as
cleaning piston ring siots and the
under side OF the piston head. II
is only the combustion space that re-
quires more frequent attention. A
detachable cylinder head simplihes
this task, but q fixed head can be
satisfactorily cleaned with special
scraper tools operated through the
valve caps. An alternative and very

effective plan. IS to burn away the de
post. Whether the valves will re-
quire grinding IN Ia a matter for
observation, but 1t should be remem-
bcred thai badly plttsd valves can
be cleaned up on n lathe at the local
garage in n few minutes and that the
small charge made is more than
saved in labor and wear on the valve
s~eatings. Valves are usually made
OF nickel steel and valve seatings Of
cast iron.
Care OF Car.
while tuning up the engine 1. is
advisable to remove the drain plug
from the bottom of the crank case
and allow tho dirty oil to drain away.
The oil filter or nlters should also be
removed and carefully washed with
gasoline or kerosene. The practice
OF flushing the engine through with
kerosene Is not always to be recon-
mended.
THE proper treatment Of the
springs Is the subject of much con
troversy. but It may DO taken as nm
infallible rule that the Introduction
Of graphite grease between the leaves
will always effect an Improvement in
riding comfort. The most inaccessi-
bic OF the spring shackle greaser
bolts should be removed and examined
for its condition. since It will be this

NOT NECESSARY
TO have TIRE
TR0UBLE,GLAIM
Most Misfortunes Either Due
to Poor Tires or Not Watch
ing the Road.

One very often hears the remark,
Il would rather have any other kind
OF trouble on the road than tire trou-
be"
Most people do not realize it, but 1t
is not necessary for one to rave tire
trouble on the road except for on &C
cssional nail, and in some cases not
even that.
Most tire trouble is due either TO
poor tires or 10 the driver not watch

But how many times have you seen

done 81 yourself? And TO- did you or
the other fellow know there was not
p nail sticking up IN that board? How
many times have you run over a tin
can, or a pile OF ashes or trash? Al
those things may look innocent but
they contain hidden dangers that may
not make themselves known until

Culling The Biddies
That Don't Paw Board

Orono. April 81. One of the chief
essentials in profitable poultry rails
ing is culling out the hens that can
not lay eggs enough for their board.
Culllng is no longer regarded as q
fne art that only an expert poultry
man can acquire. In every county in
Maine the county agent has been
giving demonstrations as aspart of his
agricultural extension work and
showing the farmers how easy it is
to distinguish a poor producer from
good layer, simply by studying
their physical characteristics
Those who attend these demonstra-
lions take an actual part in them
and are able to go back to their farms
and Gull their own f1Ocks. Records
complied by the extension service of
the College of Agriculture show that
there has been a steady increase in
culling each year, that this has been
a part of extension work, and that
the results have been very crafty
ing.
In 1922 the county agents and state
poultry specialists held public demon
STATIONS of culling on 325 Maine
farms. These demonstrations were
attended by 1850 persons. The total
number of hens handled was 21,324,
and 29.4 percent of them were re-
moved from the hocks as non-pro-
ductive.
The' plan followed is to keep ac-
curate account of the number of
eggs laid by the flock during the week
preceding the demonstration and of
