CARE OF THE FARM AUTO. We have owned and operated a machine for five years and pride ourselves upon its appearance and durability. Care is the keynote of keeping a machine looking well. The farmer is differently situated from his city brother who just runs around the corner to the garage for his repairs, adjustments and clean ing up, pays the garage keeper his bill and tells the whole world 'that 1 an automobile is a terribly expen sive affair, explains an authority in Farm and Home. The farmer buys ga-oline, does his own repairing, ad justments and washing up, and knows little about expense save first cost and tire upkeep, v There is 'the same secret in keep ) ing a machine looking good that J there is in keeping a horse and ear \ riage in good shape—sane driving ) and horse sensefl You can knock anything to pieces if you start knocking; the things is, not to start Clean up and adjust master® every time you run. There is no dust al layer so competent as a cloth slight ly oiled with gas engine oil. We use one all the year to remove the dust from the hood, fenders and other par's. It keeps the parts clear and clean of dust and makes the machine like new. Every time we run we go over the machine. | These cloths are stored in the tool box and kerosene cloths are used to wipe the engine and metal parts. Once in two weeks 'he car bon is dislodged from the cylinders with kerosene and the oil removed from crank case, strained and re turned if fit. We have a machine that we shall be operating 20 years hence, barring accident. — --o League Secretary Chosen.

The Broad street betting market was devoid of poltioal business yes terday, but there was botte inquiry and an indication accordingly that bettors may get down to brass tacks before long.

The best he could find was an offer of 6 to 5 on Sulzer and he didn’t want that.

The statement of Judge Burke! that 70 per cent of the governmental expenditures are for war purpose' and only 2 per cent for agricultural interests is somewhat startling. At the same time the government is do ing a great work for the improve ment of arming conditions. The agricultural department has scoured ihe world for fruits, vegetables and other farm Crops applicable to dif ferent sections of this country, with good results. Tree growth and * planting have been studied to advan tage, and the improvement of seed for planting purposes has been marked. Scientific study has been made of irrigation, soil fertility and crop rotation. All of this informa tion is at the disposal of the farmer jj for the asking, almost. The depart- | ment makes soil tests and inform' 6 the applicant wsa is needed to in- | crease the productive qualities. It has just announced that the experts on methods of profitable farming are, being sent out into different sections to w'ork with the farmers for the pur pose of increasing the earning pos sibilities and making life on the farm something more than mere drudgery. Unfortunately, howrever, the aver ager farmer knows little of the work of the department or wrhat it is will ing to do for him. The department can do no greater work now than that of putting its information and experience at the disposal of every farmer in the country. The informa- | tion is of little value to the public I when buried in Washington.—Balti- p more Sun.
