KEROSENE NOT GOOD
AS ENGINE CLEANSER
Drained Case Should Be Treated
With Fresh Engine Oil.
Engineers Have Figures to Prove
That New Method Is More Econom-
ical-Drain About Every 500
Miles During Winter.

Kerosene used to be good stand
by on which motorists depended for
cleaning their engines.
Now come oil engineers with the
declaration that kerosene causes a
loss of IS per cent of the total lu.
bricating capacity of an automobile.
So, instead Of using Kerosene to
flush out the crank case, those who
have studied this phase of motoring
say the drained case should be
cleaned with fresh engine oil.
That costs more money, and
arouses bit of suspicion, when it is
the oil companies. But their engineers
have the figures to prove that. in the
long run, the new method is the more
economical.
Engines that have any form of
splash fabrication have oil troughs
and pockets in which part of the kero
sene used for flushing is sure to re-
main. In some cars. say the oil en-
gineers, the kerosene retained in this
way represents 1S per cent of the to-
tai lubricating capacity of the car
1t is safer, therefore, to use the reg
ular kind of engine oil. The crank
case should be drained about every
1000 miles in summer, and every 500
miles in winter. Every time the
change is made, the case should be
flushed with engine oil instead of kero-
sene.
The oil used for this purpose can
be put to other lubricating uses.
Regular cleaning of the crank case
means longer life for the engine. The
carbon that accumulates there In a
seasons run is enough to wear down
the bearings, pistons and cylinder walls
in a short time.

The bill as reported from the com
mittee on agriculture varies but lit
tie from the measure originally intro
duced by Senator Norris (Rep. Neb),
chairman of the committee on agricul-
ture. The farmers and consumers
corporation" created under the bill
would be managed by a board of three

The original bill provided that the sec

the three directors, but this provision
was eliminated by the committee. The

subscribed by the treasury.
The corporation is empowered and

Every one should look carefully over
their orchard especially the Jonath-

mildew, and determine now if they are
affected and il so should not hesitate
to spray, even though the orchard was
sprayed for mildew last year. General
conditions look favorable for a good
crop and a reasonably good price for
fruit this year, and II would be a

FAVOR OILING STREETS.

1t appears that there is strong
sentiment among business men to oil
the main street this spring. 1t is alleg-
ed that the streets of the towns across
the line are thoroughly oiled in the
spring and it is not necessary to make
a second application during the season
where the oiling is properly done in
the first place. The claim is made that
watering the streets is only a temper
airy makeshift. and in order that 1t is
properly done there must be some one
with tne interest OF the town at heart
always on hand to see that the cou-
tractor carries out his end of the job.

LOVING sprinkling leaves the streets In

ling are ready to very materially in
crease their contributions if oil is sub
stituted for water. This is PROPOSE

should receive careful consideration.
