Releasing Clutch Will
Help Storage Battery

How many people throw out the
clutch before they put their foot on
the starting button?" asked a distrib-
utor of big automobile concern in
discussing the care Of storage bat
teries the other day.
.'Not one in ten, according to my OBJ
servation," he resumed. eIn spite Of
the instructions furnished by the bat
terry manufacturers and the service
stations, few, apparently, appreciate
the importance Of this little stunt
which adds to the life of the battery
in their car.
when the engine has been idle for
any length Of time In cold weather
the grease In the transmission gears
stiffens to the consistency Of putty al
most. This places a tremendous adj
ditional load on the engine in starting.
Everybody knows how much elbow
grease is required to turn the handle
of an ice-cream freezer after the con
tents begin to get stiff. An automo-
bile is up against similar PROPOSE
tion in turning the transmission on a
cold day.
'This extra burden pulls the battery
down, since it may be necessary to
call on the battery four or FIVE times
before the engine gets under way
without Sailing 1t Is some job to
churn load Of cold grease.
1.-THE remedy is so simple and has
been stated so often that you would
suppose every automobile driver prac-
ticed 1t, but apparently, majority
release the clutch only when shifting
gears or applying the brakes"

Decline in Prevalence
of Parasitic Disease

A noticeable decline in the prevail
ence of sheep scab, parasitic disease
especially troublesome in range fiocks,
is reported by the bureau of animal
industry, United States Department Of
Agriculture. During the last fiscal year
the number Of scabby sheep found by
federal inspectors was approximately
10 per cent less than for the preceding
year The inspectors, working in CO.
operation with state officials, made In
spections Of approximately 25,O0O,OOO
sheep and supervised the dipping of
more than 100000. No Infection was
found in Montana and Nevada and the
disease is very rarely found In Utah.
In other western range states where
the disease is still quite prevalent a
decrease is reported in all except South
Dakota, Washington, al Wyoming.

Chemicals Becoming
Important for Soil
Commercial Fertilizers Are
Meeting With Favor.

Truck growers, nurserymen, and
greenhouse men are finding it more
and more difficult to obtain the re-
quired amount of stable manure, and
are wanting to know what can be used
as substitute.
No undue concern over the situation
is necessary, explains A. w. Blair, as
soeiate soil chemist at the New Jer-
sey agricultural. experiment station,
for it must be remembered that there
is no special virtue in the nitrogen,
phosphoric acid, and potash contained
In manure. Indeed, as they exist in
manure these constituents are more
slowly available than when supplied
in the form of commercial fertilizers.
The nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash contained in manure may be sup
piled in the form of commercial fer
tilizers with much less expense and in
a more available condition.
On the other hand, the organic mat
ter equivalent of the manure cannot
easily be supplied in the form of COM
mercial fertilizers. In the last an
alysis it is this organic matter that
makes the manure so valuable, but in
some cases the price has become al
most prohibitive Experiments in veg
etable growing at the Rhode Island
experiment station have shown that
with 16 tons Of manure and about 1000
to 1900 pounds of good commercial
fertilizer per acre, the yields of veg
etables were equal to the yields OBJ
tanned when 90 tons of manure alone
were used.
In rotation modified to include rye
grass and clover as green manure, the
yields of all crops, with 10 tons Of
manure, compared favorably with
those where 80 tons Of manure were
used in the unmodified rotation. Even
when the manure was reduced to 8
tons per acre, In combination with fer
tilizers, in the modified rotation con-
tanning green manures, the yields of
beets, spinach, and carrots were main
tanned.
When comparing stable manure with
SACCh ludAukS 6uppAcluSAlcu Win CUM
mercial fertilizers, the losses incurred
due to the shrinkage and handling of
the manure are NOT to be overlooked.
If In vegetable growing the manure
application can be reduced from 80
to 16 tons per acre by the use of
green manures supplemented by about
1000 to 1900 pounds of commercial
fertilizers, why spend the extra $50
or $1O0 for manure?
The Monmouth inquirer., 1925-12-10

THERE are two kinds Of kidney dis
= ease" depending on the part fthe
kidney infected. To understand these
two kinds of kidney trouble, 1t is neces-
sary to know something about how the
body is constructed
The kidneys are the filters Of the
body. They take out of the blood all
the waste products, the ashes that are
no longer of any value and wash them
out of the body. To do this, they
must have two parts, a strainer and
drain pipe The strainer is clus-
ter of blood vessels punched up in
ball. Under the microscope it looks
like cluster of angle worms. The
blood goes through these vessels and
as it passes. the waste products are
strained out just as housewife strains
the grape juice for her jelly. These
products then are washed down the
drain pipe or tube into the cavity IN
the center OF the kidney where they
drain through the ureter into the blad-
der and are discharged.
There are In each kidney thousands
of these filter clusters or glomerules.
as they are called, each with its tube
leading into the central reservoir.
When the poison attacks the kidney 1t
may affect either the tube or the I'll
ter In either case serious results fol-
low.
If infection from any part Of the
body affects the tubes or the filter,
the walls swell up and the drain pipe
becomes stopped up. This condition
develops gradually, so that the disease
comes on slowly. Exactly the same
thing happens that would happen If
you stopped up the drain pipe in your
sink. The water trickles through
slowly, so that the urine is diminished
in amount and is dark, but is not
smoky. That means that 1t does not
contain any diluted blood. The water
in the blood cannot get out, so it BACKS
up into the blood vessel and then
seeps out in the lower part of the
body, naturally into the feet and legs,
which become water-logged swollen
and Doggy, and have pits or depres-
sions on pressing the skin with the
finger tips. The fingers, hands, alb
domen and face may also be swollen
with water This is what is popularity
called dropsy. Patients with this
form of kidney disease seldom die OF
the disease itself, but their resistance
is so lowered that they often die of
some other Infection.
If the filter itself is affected. then
the patient becomes Ill suddenly. The
urine is greatly reduced and may stop
entirely. 1t is scanty, very dark and
smoky from the blood in it. The poi
sons which should be thrown off are
kept in the body, SO the patient is apt
to develop uremic poisoning, become
unconscious and die from heart fall
ure and poisoning.
Both kinds of kidney disease are due
to the same cause poisoning in some
other part Of the body.

Seagoing Auto Highway
Link Recently Opened

The first link of the Overseas high
way, now under construction across
125 miles of ocean and keys from Key
West to Homestead, In southern Flor
ida, has been completed, and its open
ing was inaugurated recently by 5000
automobilists motoring from the is
land Of Key West IS miles toward the
mainland to Boca Chica Key.
Motorists will be brought within 80
miles of Cuba by the new road, which
is being kept open for the enjoyment
Of 1900 automobile owners of Key
West. En- route to Boca Chica tour
lists can stop at Stock island. where
the municipality of Key West has built
an 1S-hole golf course at a cost of
$35OOO0. The work is being continued
from the Miami end, and it is expected
that during the winter motorists can
leave Florida mainland and follow the
extension Of the Dixie highway go
miles south Of Miami

To Avoid Trouble Give
Ewes Proper Attention

Old ewes need good care. They need
to be under the eyes Of a man who is
skillful enough to avoid trouble. Old
ewes will die from hardships that
young vigorous ewes would survive
with little apparent loss. Under the
very best conditions the death loss in
flock of old ewes will be much
greater than with young ewes, and in
the hands of the inexperienced the
losses are likely to be so great that
a profit is impossible.
One trouble with buying old ewes is
that they may be much older than they
are claimed to be. The ages Of sheep
may be determined with approximate
accuracy up to four years old by the
appearance of the teeth After that
age it is impossible to tell how old a
sheep is by its teeth or appearance.

either is good to eat or may be good
to eat SO they at once test 1t by put
ting 1t In their mouths.
This same instinct is also found In
babies. Whether this is a coincidence
or survival, depends on whether you
are nationalist or a fundamentaIist.
But whatever you believe about the
origin of man, the fact remains that
human babies are surprisingly like
monkeys In many ways Watch
healthy, active baby and you'll see
that he tries to put everything in his
mouth, including his feet.
So children get many strange things
in their mouths. Most Of them they
spit out. But some they swallow and
they lodge In the stomach Some are
too large TO swallow and they stick in
the esophagus or "meat pipe that
leads down to the stomach.
Some Of these queer substances are
not swallowed but are inspired or
breathed in. The child may be run

Drying Corn for Silage

Corn which Is cut green should be
allowed to lie on the ground for a day
or so before putting 1t into the silo or
stock. Drying the corn for short
time this way makes sweeter silage
than when sliced too green. If stocked
too green, there is some chance Of It's
molding in the stock. If farmer
has but small patch Of corn. ii may
be cut by hand. The grain binder will
handle corn Of medium height quite
satisfactorily. If large amount Of
heavy corn IS to be cut, It pays to have

Ten Hints for Motorist
Who Polishes His Auto

In the Motor Coach Work, the Off
cial publication of the New York Mo
tor Coach Manufacturers association,
appeared these ten hints for motor
lists who use polish on automobile
bodies:
If you must use polish, do not APP
ply it before the varnish on your car
is at least three or four months old,
which will by that time be well
hardened.
Select polish that does not leave
an oily film after 1t has been wiped
off.
Use it sparingly, and above all do
not use any oily polish that is shot
out of a squirt-gun.
Do not apply polish on more than
one or two panels at time.
Rub off Immediately and pay par
ticular attention to remove all polish
out Of corners.
Rub In straight strokes (never in a
circular motion).
Do not polish car outdoors, especial
" when exposed to the sun and do
not polish the hood when hot.
Keep polish off the nickeI-pIate
parts, as it will cause them to rust.
Do not polish car unless all mud
and dirt has been removed by water
Above all do not polish very often
The less the better
