GASOLINE TO BE PREFERRED
Bearings, Cleaning Brakes and
Running Board.

For all cleaning purposes, including
washing of bearings, cleaning brakes
and running boards, gasoline is al
ways to be preferred to kerosene for
the reason that it evaporates directly
after completing the job. Gasoline,
however. should not be used for ex-
ternal cleaning of the engine; and
kerosene that is used for this pur-
pose should only be applied when the
power plant is cold.
Any opening in the valve tappet
compartment when warm air can blow

Such an opening, when found, can be

A little scheme that makes it easier
to back out of a driveway is to make

backing straight and keeps the notch
in the original position the car ought
not to run off its course.

BEST CLOTHING DECORATION
Make Selection With Regard to Fit
ness for Garment and Material
on Which Used.

Materials for the decoration Of cloth
ing should be selected with regard to
their fitness for the garment and the
material on which they are to be used.
Cotton dresses Of the tailored type,
such as are worn In the house, on the
street, or for business need little
decoration other than machine stitch
Ing, buttons, and separate collars and
cuffs of the same material or Of or
candle, pique. or light-colored NATE
rials. The dresses of sheer materials
for afternoon wear, graduation cere-
monies, and such occasions may be
very simply finished with cordings,
tiny frills of lace. ribbon girdles, and
fine net collars; bit of color may be
introduced sometimes merely in a
string of inexpensive beads. Wool
dresses may be trimmed with buttons,
braid. or wool embroidery. With
these also may be worn separate COL
lars and cuffs of crepe georgette,
satin, organdie, net. pique, or linen.
Silk dresses for afternoon wear should
be kept as simple in type as others !;
pipings, cordings. embroidery, and net,
organdie, or crepe georgette' collars
and cuffs are suitable for decoration
and finish.

DRY BATTERY FAILS RAPIDLY
In Many Instances Real Reason Is
That They Are Not Protected
From Moisture.

Car owners who use dry batteries
often have occasion to lament the
brief existence Of these devices. In
many cases the real reason why the
dry batteries fail so rapidly is simply
because they are not protected from
moisture, dirt and excessive vibration.

Arrangement for Hog
Feeding Quite Handy
Originated and Used at Illi-
nois Experiment Station.

A handy arrangement for feeding
hogs originated and used at the Iii
nois agricultural experiment station
farm is shown herewith 1t consists
OF concrete feeding floor u feet wide
and IA feet long and Two concrete
troughs each u feet long made sep
arate from the floor. At the outside
corners of the troughs four posts are
set in the concrete floor. To these
are spiked 2 by S-inch pieces
whlch support panels which can
be swung over the troughs. This
feature enables the herdsman to keep
the hogs away from the trough while
1t is being filled. A strap iron fixture
holds the panel In the position de-
sired.
One Of the easiest improvements for
the hog raiser to build is concrete
feeding floor; and 1t will bring him
quicker and larger returns for the
money Invested than any other part Of
his hog raising equipment. Loss Of
valuable feed Is prevented when hogs
are fed on concrete floor.
Considerable time and labor will be
snved II the feeding floor is located
near the corncrib or granary. 1t is
desirable to place the feeding floor on
the south or east side of the corncrib
or hoghouse, as it will then be largely
protected from cold winds. The loca-
tiOn selected should be well drained.
Where the ground is firLl and well
drained. concrete may be laid directly

PUTTING CHAINS
ON IS EASY JOB
Unless Method Of Attaching Is
Practiced a Bit, 1t Is Usual
y Awkward Process.

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer Col
lege of Automotive Engineering. Chicago)
Very often 1t is only that the auto
mobile owner is not sufficiently ac-
Quainted with the method of attach
ing chains that causes him to take a
chance when the street or pavement
is wet, and not put them on. Unless
the method of attaching chains is
practiced bit, it is an awkward
process. and as such an automobilist
rather than spend number of min
utes funbling with what he consid-
ers to be badly fitting attachments,
will run along and may meet with a
serious accident.
Practice Is Helpful.
The first couple of times that chains
are put on it may take considerable
while to do it, and the motorist may
even believe, although he has the in
dcated size for his tires. that the
things are not the right dimension.
A little practice, however, will make
attaching chains matter of only "a
moment or so, and this is time that
any one can well afford to spend. In
putting on chains it used to be thought
necessary to jack up the wheels, but
now, of course, it Is realized that this
is not needed.
The best way is to lay the chains
over the wheel with the nook part to-
ward the rear and tuck in the other
i T.,
front.
When both chains are in position
thus the car Is started and run ahead
only foot or so. This pulls the part
of the chain that was tucked in under
the front wheel taut and leaves some
extending beyond the point where the
wheel touches the ground. 1t also
tightens up the hook end.
Then ii is only a simple mattw of
joining up the ends. OF course. it is
of the wheel be hooked up first. This
can be done by hand and the chains
will fit as a rule tightly enough.
Learn to Put on Chains.
BY way of conclusion 1t is earnestly
recommended that little time be Civ
en- to learning how to put on chains
1t was the experience of the writer
that what at first was laborious and
bungling process became after n cou
pie of trials matter of seconds only
with the result that "at first drop OF
rain" the chains go on, as they should

Fowls Appreciate Good
Feed of Grain at Night

A hen consumes approximately four
ounces Of food a day, and poultry au-
thorities at Minnesota University farm
ind she will eat two ounces Of this In
the form of dry mash when It Is avail
able. These ground grains are quickly
digested. and the fowl is saved the
trouble of grinding all the feed In her
crop. Thus by feeding dry mash pro-
duction can be forced.
The other two ounces Of feed. says
the poultrymen, should be In the form
Of whole or cracked grains. fed twice
day In deep, clean litter, giving q
little less than an ounce In the morn
ing and little more than an ounce at
night. The hens crop IL small and the
winter nights are long. consequently
the heavier feeding should be given At
night. Care should b. taken always

Training Shipper
to Grade and Pack
Much Waste and Loss of
Fruits and Vegetables
Can Be Prevented.

(Prspared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Waste and loss In fruits and vege-
tables due to spoilage or breakage In
transit have been one of the serious
problems connected with the profitable
production and selling of perishable
foods.
The market specialists Of the bu-
reau of agricultural economics of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture have long urged growers to take
steps to prevent this unnecessary
waste. which brings them no profit and
often means serious loss, at the same
time reducing the total supply OF
fruits and vegetables. Increased care
In selecting, grading, packing and
shipping their products has accom-
plished much in spite of the risks In
volved In shipping perishables over
long distances, across deserts, noun
tains and plains in all kinds Of
weather.
Tomatoes All Year.
Tomatoes are now found on the
---. o. hAAA hStS RiaNtANAisy hhS ' N~-s
coming from Mexico, Cuba. and the
Bahamas in early winter, from Florida
and south Texas next, and from enst
Texas, Mississippi and Tennessee dur
ing the spring. Ohio, Illinois and New
Jersey supply the summer trade Of the
large eastern markets until local grow
ers and home gardeners can All the
demand. California ships tomatoes
from May to November. In order to
avoid high freight charges on toma-
toes which will spoil in transit, very
careful grading and packing must be
done by the shippers. Both consumer
and grower reap the benefit Of this
care preceding shipment.
Losses and waste In handling poorly
graded cabbage are quite frequent.
The shippers lose by their own negli-
gence and the consumer loses because
of the lessened supply. poor quality
and higher local prices. Growers are
being Systematically urged not to ship
over-ripe., decayed and soft heads Of
cabbage.
Grade All Products.
The large associations Of potato
growers have succeeded In grading
their products unde- brand names
which protect the customer against
diversified, hollow and defective tubers.
Boxed apples from the Northwest
leave that region splendidly graded. al
though at times they suffer unavoid-
ably in transit to eastern markets.
California growers are making vigor-
Gus efforts to put only standardized
cantaloupes. citrus fruits and other
products on the market, to avoid ship
ping either green or overripe melons
and to enforce such rigid grading,
packing and shipping rules that only
those oranges, grapefruIts and lemons
which will surely withstand travel and
changes in climate. are now being
shipped.
The list might be indefinitely con-
tinaed. Every effort Is being made by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture to Influence growers to grade
their products and pack them properly
for shipment, enabling the house
keeper. who is the final purchaser Of
California's cantaloupes, Florida's to-
matoes, or Oregon's. apples, to obtain
her moneys worth when she deals
with the retail storckeeper.

One of the secrets of success in
making doughnuts is to use plain
mixture such as the one given below.
A rich dough tends to absorb more fat
In frying than palmer one. A fairly
firm dough is better than very soft
one, although too much flour is unde
sirable and will result in doughnut
that Is not SO light and fluffy as one
would desire. 1t should be handled
lightly, but rolled smooth, for rough
surface absorbs more fat.
Frying doughnuts in fat that Is not
hot enough results in poor, greasy
product, usually fried too long. Roll
ing and cutting the dough too thick to
cook through In short time is mis-
take. Failure on the part of the cook
tojudge when the doughnuts are done,
or any other cause that keeps them in
the fat too long tends to make them
greasy.
Best Frying Temperature.
A frying temperature for the fat Of
365 degrees F. was found by the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture
to be satisfactory. II should, If pos
sible, be tested with thermometer.
Doughnuts rolled about onefourth
inch thick can usually be fried in
three minutes at this temperature If
they are turned to make them brown
evenly. They may be fried in one and
half minutes If forced under the sur
face of the fat during the frying by

10F INTEREST TO
d THE HOUSEWIFE

A speck of cream Of tartar added
to fudge while cooking will avoid
crumbling when whipped later.
A bedspread, bureau scarf and
lamp shade of cretonne will give a
cool appearance to your bedroom dur
ing the warm months.
When serving acid fruit put a piece
Of ice In the dish with the fruit and
pour the cream over all. Then the
cream will not curdle.
This is good time to 60 over the
roof Of your house. 1t can be made
rainproof by applying a tar prepara-
tion to cover small holes.
Whitewash your cellar walls to
make them clean and sanitary. There
is new paint for walls which can
be sprayed on evenly, instead of ap-
piled with q brush.
Wnen baking chicken or meat-pie,

The gravy will fill the cup. and the

A good place to mark sheets is In
one corner of the right side of the
wide hem. Then when the sheet ID
folded, the mark is on the upper hem.
Leftover baked potatoes can be cut

upon the soil after all grass, roots and
other perishable matter have been re-
moved and the area brought to proper
level and firmly compacted.
Concrete feeding floors should be
made not less than four Inches thick.
What Is known as One-course construc-
tion, which means the same mixture
Of concrete throughout, should be used.
The mixture should be q IS, which
means one sack Of portland cement to
two cubic feet Of clean, well-graded
sand, to three cubic feet Of clean peb-
bles or broken stone not to exceed ~
inches In diameter. Two-inch lumber
should be set up for forms and firmly
staked to line and grade.
The floor should be sloped in at
least one direction so 1t will drain
quickly after rains. Sunshine and rain
will help keep the surface clean. A
slope Of one-quarter inch to the foot
will be enough.

busting Quite Effective
Against Certain Insects

That dusting can be used effective
ly against certain Insects has been
known for 20 years, but the use Of
contact insecticides such as nicotine
compounds is more recent develop
ment. While the actual cost of dust
ing materials Is somewhat greater
than that of spray materials. the cost
per acre is usually less. In addition
the busting process has the advantage
Of wider range Of application, mas
much as moisture conditions do not
affect the operation. 1t seems to work
equally well whether the vines are wet
or dry. Wind seems to be the only
limiting factor. Work Is In progress
in nearly every state to perfect the
process. and 1t appears probable that
In, time 1t will replace spraying to q

Balance Between Fruit
and Wood Is Necessary

In all work with fruit trees II should
be kept In mind that balance be-
tween the wood and fruit growth Is
necessary for best results. There are
many things that affect Il, such as
manuring or cultivating the soil, prun-
Ing and thinning out the fruit.
The pear tree makes more branches
than the apple. and therefore needs
much closer attention. The limbs
should not be allowed to interlace each
other. Bearing trees often ave their
branches brought out Of shape by the
weight of fruit, and 1t Is advisable to
prune such trees In such a way as to
give good outline.
The cherry needs little pruning after
the first year or two, and in fact what
1t needs at first Is but little to give
the tree a good outline. 1t Is unwise
to cut 1t much after 1t gets large, as
It heals slowly. and with old trees
sometimes not at all. For the same
reason care should be taken not to
bruise the bark Of the tree.
Peaches and apricots are but little
pruned by the average fruit grower,
and yet few fruit trees are more bene-
fitted by 1t. II there is no young wood
there will be no fruit. n they are
pruned little every year, there Is
young wood over the entire tree, from
near the ground to the top.
The plum has nearly the same re-
quirements MS the apple. Fewer
branches. permitting of more air and
sunlight. would bring more and better
fruit to many tree.

PORK PARTICULARLY
RICH IN WTAMlNS
Beef and Veal Found to Be ReIa.
lively Lower, While Amount
in Lamb Varies.

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Ever since the discovery Of the pres
ence In certain foods of those mysteri-
GUS beneficial substances now known
as vitamins, 1t has been thought that
they were to be found In animal It's
sue most abundantly in certain of the
Internal organs, especially the hAart,
liver and kidneys, but the bureau of
animal industry of the United States
Department Of Agriculture now an
nounces that they exist In the muscle
fiber of beef, veal, mutton. lamb and
pork. and that pork Is particularly
well supplied with them.
Various cuts of the different kinds
Of meat were tried, and in every in
stance pork was found to be relatively
rich in vtamins. Pork tenderloin,
fresh ham, smoked ham. and pressed
boiled ham were tested and the results
were much the same with all of them.
Beef and veal were relatively lower,
while the amounts contained In lamb
varied q great deal.
The experimental work consisted In
feeding tests with rats and pigeons.
Growth was the determining factor In
the case Of rats. In pigeons deficiency
Of vitamins was indicated by the de-
velopment of polyneuritis, disease to
which they are peculiarly susceptible.
This new evidence on the distribu-
ton of vitamins in meats should not
lead to the conclusion that certain
meats are of low nutritive value be-
cause they are deficient in vitamins.
