NOW is HELD TIME TO PREPARE
YOUR AUTO FOR WINTER DRIVE
Most Important Factor Is to Insure the
Radiator Against Freezing by Use
Of Proper Solution.

used up, a mixture of half water and
half alcohol is suggested to keep the
anti-freeze agent effective longer. A
scientific way of ascertaining the exsea
alcoholic content is by measuring tbA
specific gravity with a hydrometer, oE-
tainable at automobile accessory dealers
almost anywhere.
Glycerin and water make a very sat-
isfactory and safe anti-freeze solution.
AS the water evaporates at a lower tenn
perature than the glycerin, the solution
tends to become more effective with use.
This eliminates the constant worry as
to whether or not the mixture is be-
coming too weak to do its work. If
there are no leaks in the cooling system
and no loss of the solution through
boiling out, one filling of the radiator
will last all Winter. Ordinary evapora-
ton should be replaced with water only.
Oils come in for their share of atten-
ton in Winter time, too. The heavier
lubricants used during Summer months
CONCEAL readily in the cold season, and
1T is wise to change to lighter oil for
Winter driving. If lighter oil Is not
substituted for heavier one an engine
VIII have to run for some time before
the lubricant is carried to the upper
ends OF the pistons and cylinders The
transmission and the differential will
also be better off If they, too. are al
lowed a change Of transmission oil. If
no such thinning process Is adopted the
gears will quite likely cut path into
the stiff cold grease, which will not run
back into the gear teeth as II should.
For these reasons especially the lighter
lubricants render the better service dur
ing the Winter days.
Towing Helpful.
II because of inadequate precautions
the cooling system freezes up, do not
start the engine with the expectation
that the resulting heat will thaw out
the works. What is more likely TO re-
suit Is the breaking of the water pump
driving connection. The thaw1ng- out
process can best be effected by towing
the car into a warm garage and allow
nature to take its course.
The dangers which come from freeS.
ing the cooling system can be greatly
eliminated If one provides a garage that
is heated during the Winter. This can
be accomplished efficiently by extending
steam or hot water piping from ones
own house to the garage. The plan
may seem expensive at first sight, but
will soon pay for itself, for 1t entails no
continued expense and no extra fuel u
required for its separate maintenance.
A warm home for the automobile Is
most necessary for it's well being during
the cold season.
Mr.. Brokaw will be glad to write on
any subject pertaining to the care Of
automobiles which reader may suggest.

their economy in actual poultry
feeding. declares N. r. Willis.
Mr.. Willis states further "the
advantage and economy Of a ration
in this form Is Immediately OBJ
vious to the feeder. There is nc
waste, as in masheS. through bill
ing out" The quantity TO be fed Il
absolutely under control and ma
be fed as a scratch In litter II
desired. The ration is accurately
proportioned for the purpose in
tended and the hen can not get
the artion out Of balance"
The proprietors OF Brownsville
Feed and Seed Company are very
anxious to have the poultrymen o.
the county TO visit their store al

this fine hen feed. They make A
study OF the poultryman's prob

ing to aid him in any way they
can. They wish to remind poultry
men that now is the time to begin
wedding out the non-layers from
their flocks. To do this culling r
