Machine Discloses
Uncanny Faculties
In Checking Plugs

FOSTORIA, OHIO. - Even en-
ployes who see it every day stop to
watch a fascinating little machine
in the Auto-Lite' spark plug factory
here.
With an uncanny ability that
seems like magic, the machine
whirls around endless numbers of
seemingly identical spark plugs and
u%nerringly and se~lectively rejects
any that are not up to standard.
When production of the new re-
sistor spark plug began, new testing
as well as new production tech
niques were required.
One of the distinctive features Of
the resistor as compared with
standard spark plug previously pro-
duced here is a built-in 10, 000-ohm
resistor. Gan ohm is a measure
ment Of electricity. It is necessary
to test each Of the millions of plugs
produced to be sure resistance is
really right, not too high and not
too low. Several methods have been
employed, but it wasn't until engi-
neering genius produced this little
electronic machine that testing was
put on a high-speed, mass produc-
ton basis.
The plugs to be tested are placed
in receSSeS on one fI1rntable As
this revolves, ~finger-like clamps on
another turntable snatch off the
plugs n by n and start them on
another circular trip. Before a
single revolution has been COM
pleted, the plug is tested and Tipped
off into n of three bins-one for
plugs that test low, another for
those that test high and the final
one for those which test right.
Those that don't conform are re-
turned for correction.
The machine has something of
the same fascination of a pinban
machine or juke box. The rejects
come SO rarely that it is difficult to
resist stopping to wait for the
''odd" n to come up.
And just about the time the on
has decided the machine
must be out of order and is passing |
all the plugs, one is finally Tipped
off into an "out" bin.

Former Congressman Wins

DETROIT. - Former Congress.
man Harold Youngblood was the
winner in a court suit involving
one and one-half ounces Of fat.
Youngblood told ordinance referee
Oscar Riopelle that he bought 17h
ounces of steak at a store.
He said that when he weighed
the steak at home it came to only
16 ounces, The former lawmaker
commended this constituted an over
charge Of seven cents.
A store official held out a piece
of fat toward the referee and ex-
planned it had fallen off the steak
when the package was wrapped.
However, Ripapelle ruled that
Youngblood's beef was the le-
climate one and fined the store $50.

For Small Home Owners

1t is a good idea for the small
home owner to use some apple or
cherry trees instead Of the usual
shade trees around his house. He
can scatter two or three peach
trees in the shrubbery border. He
can train red raspberry bushes on
his fence, mulch them with straw
and set out strawberry plants at
their base, for an attractive, fine,

it might be pretty nice just to be

Then you wouldn't have to come

Tweed had some doubts about
his reality the other night. He

This Week in the Garden

The season is at hand when we
should apply a dormant spray to
all deciduous trees and shrubs,
and by all means to rose bushes.
A dormant spray is a powerful
scalecide and fungicide, too pow
erful to apply when the bushes
are in foliage. It should be ap-
piled when the temperature is
above freezing and likely to re-
main above for at least "a hours.
There are several forms of dor
mant sprays, some of which re-
uuire special equipment to apply.
Many home gardeners buy either
a liquid or powdered lime-sul-
pllur mixture. The liquid is less
likely to clog the sprayer nozzle
than the powdered form.

ers will want to get part of their

CapOn Production Is Hazardous
Epicurean Demand Essential to Offset
Unfavorable Feed Efficiency

quantities of grass as compared
to other fowl. and hence their
ration is considerably cheaper.
To profit from capons. a pro-
ducer must secure a market price
sufficiently above the price Of other
market poultry to Offset this dis
advantage in feed efficiency.
This means an epicurean mar.
ket must be developed and estab-
lished. which usually means q
direct consumer outlet such as a
hotel. club or resort restaurant,
which feature such dishes and are
in a position to pay price which
will net the producer a profit.
Wholesale markets are not de-
pendable for capons as they deal
in standard market classes prin-
cipally, rather than specialties.
Since epicurean outlets are
usually unstable in nature. most
ventures in capon production have
proved financial failures.
Selling the cockerels at the
broiler stage is almost always the
more profitable step for a pro-
ducer.
Moreover, the increased hazards
of disease involved in carrying
birds to % weeks, or longer. in the
case of capons as compared to
broilers. adds further costs through
increased mortality, aside from
the additional cost and hazards
of caponizing.

Recent increase in interest in
the production of capons by new
comers in the poultry business is
typical of the swing to increased
production of food under the pres
sure of high food prices of recent
years.
However, those interested in the
production of capons should be-
come well advised of the peculiar
nature Of this highly specialized
enterprise, and the hazardous ma
ture of the market outlets which
determine financial success or
failure.
Cost Of production per pound
of bird automatically places ca
pons in an unfavorable position
in contrast to other classes of
market poultry as shown in the
following table:

Tree Cuts Should Be Dressed
Prompt Coat of Shellac Will Safeguard
Wounds Until Curative Coat Is Put On
BY W. n. Younemon

The pruning of a tree or large
shrub is necessary to keep them
in shape and to avoid bad struc-
tural formations. At the same
time, the treating of wounds,
whether due to an injury or to
pruning, is imperative to prevent
rot and decay. Otherwise. dis
eases enter and destroy the heart
wood.
No matter how small a cut or
wound may be, it is good insurance
to treat it.
The rule is to coat all cuts with
shellac as soon as the wood is dry
enough to take it. Then the ap-
plication of long-lasting wound
dressing may be delayed for some
time suiting the convenience OF
the gardener.
There are a number Of prepared
dressings on the market, or the
gardener may make his own.
None of them may be expected to

Sterlize the Surface.
Follow the application of
shellac seal with a good coating of
creosote which is one of the best
preparations for destroying and
preventing the growth of wood
destroying fungi. This will thor
ouglly sterilize the entire surface
that has been exposed. The next
step is to apply a long-lasting
coating such as asphalt, asbestos,
etc. The asphalt base dressing is
long lasting, but must be heated
before applying. The asbestos
paint or cement is easier to apply
and is preferable on cherry,
peach. plum. magnolia and
tulip trees. because their bark is
sensitive to a coal tar-creosote
mixture. And. on such sensitive
trees it is desirable to use some
other sterilizing agent. Corrosive:
sublimate (bichloride of mercury
or copper -sulphate bordeaux mix
ture) are good disinfectants in the
latter case.
