Wheat Goes to So Mark
First Time Since War

Chicago. - Grain prices jumped
sharply upward in Chicago on Tues
day, as well as in many other cities
in the United States. Wheat passed
the So mark for the first time since
the war when a Chicago miller bought
four carloads of choice red winter
wheat at $2001a a bushel, the high
point for the day The 50. price was
common in many other markets.
While this price was established on
cash grain, futures also were advanc-
ing. May wheat reached $1.SS and
closed at $1.S6 and the July delivery,
the crop of the 1925 harvest, touched
a high point of S1.5S% and closed at
$157, while September wheat sold at
SLASH. These prices are the highest
on record for futures at this time of
the year.
Responsibility for the high prices is
laid to the foreign situation, with a
shortage in western European and
Russian crops.

Lubricating Oil Pumped
Into Combustion Space

Complaints are often heard that the
action of the piston in an automobile
cylinder tends to pump the lubricating
oil up into the combustion space. A
simple remedy for this condition,
which is said to be satisfactory, is to
round off very slightly the upper out
side corner Of the upper piston ring,
and the lower corner of the lower ring.
This does not affect the compression
In the least, and the action is to per-
nit the upper ring to pass the oil on
the cylinder walls on the up stroke.
instead of scraplng it up to the top of
the cylinder; while on the down stroke
the surplus oil is scraped back. On
the other hand, the up stroke of the
lower ring tends to carry the neces-
sary oil for fabrication up the cylinder
wall, while on the down stroke the
rounded lower corner Of the ring
would pass over the oil thus distrib-
uted and leave it behind. The inter
mediate rings should have both upper
and lower corners eased so as to dis
turb the oil as little as possible, al
lowing it to remain and perform its
function as a lubricant.

Bent Rims Are Given as
Cause of Casing Trouble

Bent rims are a direct cause of rim
cuts, of tires blowing from the rim
and of the breaking of the tire cables
at the base Of the tire. Oftentimes
motorists cannot understand why tires
should blow out when they are driving
slowly. The facts of the case are that
the overstrained carcass has reached
the limit Of It's endurance from pre-
vious abuse and has given way.
Many motorists, were they to ex-
anime the wheels on their cars, would
be surprised to notice that their rims
are bent along the edges. These bent
rim tianges are ordinarily little thought
Of, yet they are responsible for a good
ly percentage of tire grief.
When the wheel hits a frog or a
switch of a street car track, or a hole
In the road, there is a tendency to fat
ten the rim, especially if the tire is
underinfated. The rims support,
however, is essential to the life Of a
tire. If 1t is bent so that it does not
fit the tire and allows the sidewalks
to bulge, the driver may know that
trouble is to be expected unless he
takes immediate precautions.

ored too much with black or horn
color.
The vent of a hen that Is laying
heavily is large, expanded and moist.
while that Of a nonlayer is small, puck
cred and dry. In the case Of the yell
Iow-skinned breeds, the vent Of a hen
that is laying heavily is usually white
or pink, but the vent Of the nom
layer is yellow.
When a hen is laying, the pelvic
bones (the two pointed bones between
which the vent is located are rather
thin, flexible, and spread well apart.
When she is not laying, they r clos
er together, feel thicker, and are less
flexible. The distance between the
pelvic bones varies slightly in differ
n breeds, it being usually liz inches
or more for a laying hen and less than
IN inches for nonlayer.
Abdomen of Layers.
The abdomen of the good layer is
more expanded thar that of the poor
producer or n%onlayer, since the egg
producing organs are larger and re
quire more room. The abdomen of
the laying hen is also flexible or soft
because a smaller amount Of fat is
carried when laying, while the abdo-

Replace Brake Innings
Is Not Difficult Task

To replace a brake lining, the bands
or shoes are taken off, the axle is
placed in a wise, while the rivets are
Knocked off with a cold chisel or ham,
yner New strips Of the lining fabric
are cut to size. Beginning then at
tne end of the strip, two or three rivet
holes are located with a blue pencil
and cut with a punch, after which the
fabric is put in position on the shoe.
Medium hard rivets, to prevent scor-
ing of the drums, are passed through
the holes and are then headed down
securely at the back Of the band.
They must be sunk well into the fab
ric lining, so that no projections are
aeft. With the strip held tightly to
prevent %wrinkling, and with the band
at its original curvature, the next hole
is marked, punched and riveted in the
same way.
The operator simply keeps On around
until the entire strip of lining Is riv-
eted down into place on the shoe. The
braking systems Of our modern ears
are efficient enough under ordinary cir
cumstances, but they are not powerful
enough to allow q margin for slack
maintenance. They must be kept
right up to the mark, and systematic
inspections and repairs when needed
are dictated by common sense.

CLEAN DRIvEWAYS
FOR OIL STATION
Accumulated Oil Drippings
From Cars Often Be-
come an Eyesore.

Oil station driveways frequently be-
come an eyesore because Of the ac-
cumulated oil drippings from ars be-
ing serviced. And because many of
these stations occupy prominent loca-
tions and are designed for attractive
mess, smutty driyeways lower the gen
eral appearance of the station.
Applied to Hard Surface.
Standard Oil stations in New Jersey
have adopted a successful and simple
means of keeping their driveways spot
less which may be applied equally
well to paved surfaces.
All excess oil is piped off the sur
face or is scrubbed quite clean with
kerosene or gasoline to cut the oily
deposits. A little vigorous s%crubbing
with a stiff brush will remove most of
this oil. The surface is then flushed
with a hose stream Of clean water and
while the pavement is still moist a
sittle portland cement is busted over it.
Keep Surface spotless.
In the New Jersey stations, the men
in charge report that two applications
each week are sufficient to keep the
surface spotless. If dry cement is ap-
piled to the moist surface Of the pave
ment, it is swept over the surface with
a. broom. On drying this leaves the
surface white and covers up the stains
left by the oil drippings. One Middle
West station reports that the best re-
suits are obtained by dusing the pave
ment just after closing time at night.
In this case the cement hardens before
opening time the next morning.
Whatever the particular method of
application may be, the use Of port
land cement keeps the surface In neat
shape with a desirable light color.
Owners of private driveways, garage
floors and automobile showrooms hav-
ing hard floors also report the method
simple and effective.

Trees on Highways

Trees adapted to their environs may
grow to a great age and nobility, and
in this way highway planting will be-
come a most important task in the
matter of our rural landscapes. This
points to another important matter
the designing and supervision of the
work. 1t is a matter of great impor-
lance. a matter that requires great
knowledge of plant life as we'll as the
vision of the artist.
Roadside planting, the development
Of state reservations, and rural parks
are equal in Importance to city plant
ing and are far greater in scope and
vision than the latter. A period of
great cultural advancement is al
ways measured by the vision and the
outlook for the future.

men of the nonlayer is contracted, and
harder and less pliable. The distance
from the real end of the breastbone
to the pelvic bones also varies, ac-
cording to the breed, from 2h to 3
inches for the good layer. A smaller
distance between these bones would
indicate that the hen Is not laying.
When a hen is laying or nearly
ready to lay, her comb and wattles are
plump and bright red in color. When
she is not laying, her comb is shrunk-
en-, pale or dull in color, comparative
ly hard, and covered with whitish
scales. A dark or blush color usual
ly indicates sickness.
The poultry raiser should not only
Gull the entire flock yearly, but should
always be on the watch for birds that
r sick or very thin in flesh, or that
show signs of weakness or poor vital
ity. When such are discovered. they
should be culled out Immediately.

Infertlle eggs from an incubator
make good chick food.
Sudan grass is one of the best non
leguminous summer catch crops.
Legumes not only Increase following
crops, but provide an excellent feed in
themselves.
In some cases the ~egg-eating hen can
only be cured by a dose of iron-ap-

Flowing under a crop Of huham in
the fall will add from 10 to 20 bushels
per acre to the following corn crop.
Lice and mites are parasites which
suck away poultry profits. 1t is a
good investment Of time and money to
keep them In check.
Remember that a clean poultry house
is desirable. Clean the droppings
board once or twice a week. Oftener
in warm or damp weather.
Vegetables which may be planted
this month for fall or winter use are
carrots, turnips. winter radlshes, late
cucnmbers. late peas, sweet corn and
late cabbage.
