I HISTORY OF
OGDEN YARDS
BY JESSE s rk n nns
The growth of the Ogden Union j
Stock Yards company has been
much greater and faster than ever
expected by any connected with
it. The stock yards company was
prsonlxed IB 1917, being financed
entirely by Ogdcn capltul with an
Ogden man. Lester F. Whltlock,
as general manager.
In tho beginning, the yards had
a capacity of 50 carloads of cattle,
30 carloads of sheep and 30 car-
I loads of hogs Under the effi
cient management of Mr. Whit
lock, the yards have grown until
today they have a capacity of
200 carloads of cattle. 1100 car
loads of sheep and 100 carloads
of hogs.
Trading at the yards has grown
to such an extent that It became
necessary this year to construct
a new $30,000 00 exchange build
ing to properly house tho offices
of tho stock yards company and
tho numerous commission firms
doing business there.
Ono of tho main reasons for
this rapid growth is the great
importance of Ogdcn as a rail
road and shipping center.
The yards are constructed
along the most modern lines with
concrete floors throughout They
Join the big yards and plant of
th Ogden Packlncr & Provision
company. Immediately west of the
viaduct.
According to the latest official
government report, the Ogden
stock yards handle more cattle,
sheep and hogs than any stock
yards west of Denver. So far
this season, more than 525,000
sheep havo been handled at these
yards, together with a record
number of cattle and hoga.
The. Importance of the Ogden
yards Is realized by California,
eastern and local buyers, who aro
always on the market making a
ready demand and at top prices

HOW TO STORE
AUTOINWjNTER
BY R. K. JACK
Chief Engineer, Olds Motor Works.
In some parts of the country, where
the highways are not yet improved
and where the weather Is usually
severe, It may be advisable to lay up
the car for a month or two. Before
this Is done certain precautions
should by all means be taken.
The water should be thorough y
drained from the radiator and en-
I gine, after which the engine should
be run under Its own power until 1c
becomes thoroughly heated Do not
i run the engine ery fast, but keep It
going long enough to evaporate every
particle of water that may be pocket
' ed in order to prevent water freezing
I and possibly bursting the., wutor
jackets. Great care shoudl be exer
: clsed not to run the engine too long
, or too fast as overheating will qulck-
ly cause damage.
It la desirable to remove the tires
,ind place them in a dark room wher
they are not subjected to extreme
, temperature changes. The caslnws
should be thoroughly cleaned to re
move all oil which may have adhered
to them. After removing the tire-?,
thoroughly clean the inside of the
wheel rims and apply a coat of
enamel to prevent rust which is very
Injurious to the fabric of the tire. If
th tires are not removed, jack up the
ear so that the wheels clear the floor
entirely; then let the air out of the
lubes.
Remove the sparkplugs and pour
Into each cylinder about two or thrc3
I tublespoont'uls of a very heavy grade
of engine oil. Then replace the
'sparkplugs and turn the engine .
slowly by hand several times until
ithe cylinder walls and pistons are
' thoroughly covered with this heavy
I oil.
if yours is a closed car with ( oth
upholstery, after brushing the Inte-
i lor. clean with warm water and soap
,mly; gasoline has a tendency tj
spread any grease and leave a dls
olored spot After cleaning wipe dry
wit h a clean cloth.
In the case of an open car, be sur-
and brush tho top off thoroughly to
J prevent any dust settling Into It. Then
, clean tho leather seats off with soip
and water, luke warm.
A good grade of grease or vaseline
should then bo taken aad sprea 1
thinly over the nickel parts of the
car to prevent rust and corrosion
This can easily be removed in the
spring with a little gasoline.
The grease should be spread on a1'
Ithe instruments on the dash, tne
nb kel controls and other parte which
will be exposed during the winter
As a precaution against fire or th
settling of sediment it Is well for the
owner to drain the gasoline from the
car. but not the oil or grease in the
varlouB parts. Care should be taken
to see that all steering Joints and
other working parts aro covered wltn
grease and all grease cups are filled
and turned down.
' It Is also necessary that the storage
battery bo removed from the car an 1

1 ne prospects are very bright for
Is bigger and better show for the
vcar 1923
Tho Ogden Livestock show has been
(made possible by the generous con
tributions bv the business men of
,'gden. It has had their moral and
llnancial support, and their interest in
this undertaking grows from year to
year. We have received material aid
trom the county commissioners.
As a result of the Ogden Livestock
show, there has developed among the
stockmen of this lntermountain re
gion a determination for better blood
which Is bringing the standard of the
lntermountaln livestock to a higher
degree of excellence. Farmers now
Know It costs no more to feed a blue
blooded heifer, with weight on her
r.bs than to shovel fodder into a
scrub.
It Is not only developing better
beef cattle and hogs, but is creating
a strong rivalry In tho dairy divisions.
The rivalry aroused by this show,
arnonsj the dairy men for better stock,
can be only beneficial to this Indus
try, and to this lntermountain country.
