Fertilizing Losses of
Manure Are Prevented

Losses of the valuable fertiliZing
constituents of manure through fer
mentation and teaching may be pre-
vented to a large degree by hauling
the manure to the fields as soon as
possible after it is vOided.
AS far as may be practicable it
should be Immediately spread and in
cOrporated with the soil. If there is
no danger of surface wash, it may be
spread and left on the surface of the
land. The application is best done by
the manure spreader. If season and
soil conditions are such as to prevent
this method of handling and distribu-
ton it may be piled in small heaps
and spread in early spring. On slOp-
ing ground the dressing of manure
should be reserved until such time as
it can be Incorporated with the soil
shortly following its application, or
surface drainage may cause valuable
constituents to be carried away.

tablespoonful of flour moiStened with
tablespoonful of vinegar, one-eighth

ka. Dice the pork and stir into the
dish, cover and bake one hour covered,
uncovering the last fifteen minutes to
brown. .
When the fresh green peas are first
appearing in the garden take a cup
full or more of the shelled peas, add
a cupful of tiny green onions, two cup
fuls of carrots and cook them all to-
gether until tender. Add a half cup
full of finely diced pork cubes and
some of the fat; do not drain the
vegetables but add as little as possible
of boiling water to them while cook
ing. Add some of the pork fat, salt
and pepper to season, or butter may
be used instead of the pork if desired.
Add enough rich milk to make a sauce

Egg and Rice Dish.-Put a table
spoonful or two of butter in a frying

soup broth and finish cooking the rice.
When the rice is tender add two or
three lightly beaten eggs, stir and
cook in the rice until like scrambled
eggs. Season well and serve hot.
This is a fine dish to serve when eggs
are high, as it tastes like scrambled
eggs and takes half the usual number.

1HIs announcement, issued simultaneously
In all parts of the country on August 16, met
with an instant response from car owners and
tire merchants alike.
No man who reads this will have failed to see
similar announcements in the windows of tire
stores-copies of the warranty displayed on
dealers walls-newspaper advertisements by in
dividual manufacturers and by dealers confirm
ing the policy.
For it is the voice of the industry, representing
the producers of over $3.50 of the tires made in
America.
1t is the acceptance of full responsibility for
the merit of their product by manufacturers who
have learned that real qualitymeansmore to their
customers than definite mileage guarantees.
Years ago these standard manufacturers dis
continued the outworn practice of guaranteeing
definite number of miles in order to sell their tires

allowances to the unscrupulous driver who
abused his tires and misrepresented his mileage,
thus penalizing the careful driver who took care
of his tires and was honest in his claims
With its passing, all tire users felt the benefit
at once in lower tire costs. Today you pay less
for tires than ever before in history. Few, if any
commodities, show so steady reduction in
prices.
The art of tire building has improved as we'll,
until the casing and tube you buy today can be
counted on to carry you more miles than was
thought possible even so short time as FIVE
years ago.
The unlimited guarantee of quality is the
natural outcome; the warranty against defects
for the life of the tire is final expression of the
manufacturers confidence in his product
