The motorcar’s spring cleaning should not stop with the body, top and cushions, An engine and chassis cov- ered with grease and dirt is a costly encouragement to delaying simple ad- justments which will save money in repairs, Clean the engine, springs, transmis- sion housing and other parts which ac- cumulate sticky grime with kerosene, to which some gasoline may be added, Use a wooden backed scrubbing brush with no metal on it. Metal may touch electric terminals and cause a spark which will start a fire. A much bet- ter job will result if the drip pan is removed while the engine is cleaned. Cleaning Saves the Engine. Tn addition to looking better and be- ing easier to repair, a clean engine’s hose connections, electric insulation and gaskets will not deteriorate nearly 80 quickly, With the springs cleaned, olling sug- gests itself. Be sure the grease cups on the springs are full and screwed down so there will be pressure. That ig not enough to saye a rusted spring, however. Jack up the chassis and ap- ply lubricant with a paint brush or a squirtgun, If the leaves of springs are rusted together, they usually may be pried apart with a screwdriver while the car is jacked up. Repair men diagnose as a “frozen” spring a condition in which all leaves are rusted into what appears to be a solid mass, Soak the “frozen” spring in kerosene and try the screw- driver again next day. Take Balky Spring Apart. If the spring still balks, the best Way is to remove it, take it apart, clean the leaves with kerosene, lubri- cate them with graphite and grease and reassemble them. Spring covers of leather and metal, oll retaining cups and high pressure lubricating systems are among recent improvements which simplify care of springs. The varlous covers keep out dirt and keep in lubricants so that springs rarely need attention. High pressure devices range in design from those {n which a screw pressure exerts terrific force to a handy affair like a eistol which “shoots” grease when the trigger is pulled. Gulls Help Farmers, Through southeastern Oregon and Utah gulls often pluck up a lIlving of grasshoppers. They rid the fields of harmful insects and help protect the crops from field mice, says Nature Magazine. As the water is turned Into the fields from the irrigation ditches it seeps Into the burrows, driy- Ing out the mice, which are devoured by the waiting gulls. TT CAN READ BY THEIR LIGHT How Species of Costa Rica Beetle Fun nishes Remarkable Illumination, According to Traveler. Beetles which emit almost continu- ously a light so brilliant that one or two imprisoned within an inverted tumbler will illuminate a moderate sized room sufficiently to make print readable are among the wonders found (n the Costa Rican wilds by Robert Ridgway, ornithologist of the United States National museum, and Included in an account of his explorations just published by the Smithsonian institu- tlon. The display sometimes made by thou- sands of our “lightning bugs” or fire files over damp meadows on a warm summer night, he says, is only a feeble imitation of the splendid pyrotechnic display made by thousands of these large Costa Rica beetles, called car buncles, pronounced “carbunclys.” The light of the carbuncle {is not intermit- tent like that of our firefiles, but is nearly continuous and differs in color Early Molting Hens Are Poor Paying Proposition What is the trouble with the poul- try business? Why are fewer hens kept this year? Is the poultry busi- ness going backward? All these ques- tions, and many more like them, have been asked recently. What Is the trouble with the poultry business? Would not any other busi- ness fail if it were conducted as the poultry business is conducted? Every female kept is not necessarily a good money maker, Some hens never lay. Some lay a few eggs. But it takes a hen that lays a good quantity of eggs to pay for her feed and return a fair profit above labor, interest, etc. It has been proved beyond doubt that early molting hens are poor pro- ducers, Hens that begin to shed their feathers in July and August seldom start to lay before the latter part of January or the early part of February. Many poultrymen realize the necessity vf culling out their poor producers in order to stay In the poultry business. With the present prices of feed, it is absolutely essential that only the best hens be kept. One farmer last year selected from 500 laying hens 104 that he considered poor producers. No trap nests were used, but the hens were examined from external charac- teristics. These 104 hens were put in a house by themselves. The following day they lald four eggs. The flock was again tested and the four layers were selected, leaving an even hundred unproductive hens. They were carefully watched for several weeks and did not lay an egg. At last they were sold. Similar instances prove that the selection of poultry pays. Why not save the tremendous amount of feed fed the poor hens and put it into better stock or human food? Increase production and increase efficiency, by keeping the late molters. Hatch in September and thus increase the meat and egg supply of the coun- try. Fall hatching of chickens will pay. Pullets from these hatches will take the place of the early molters disposed of. Breed only from the late molters, Selection {s a big step toward greater poultry efficiency and to a more profitable poultry business, Increasing Demand for Disliked Guinea Fowls Guinea fowls, which have suffered unpopularity with farmers because of Pronounced propensities for noise making during the sleeping hours of humans, are likely to rise above this objection in view of a steadily increas- ing demand for their delicious flesh, in the opinion of a poultry specialist of the United States Department of Agri- culture. Guinea-fowl raising now is a profitable side line on eastern farms and may offer opportunities to the com- mercial poultryman in a few cases, In Farmers’ Bulletin 858, “The Guinea Fowl,” the specialist discusses the guinea business from the starting of a flock to marketing the produce, which is largely meat, Colony House System of Poultry Raising Favored One of the many advantages of the colony house system of poultry rais- ing is that the birds have ample op- portunity to find animal food, such as bugs, worms, grasshoppers, ete, This is a very necessary part of the diet if you are ralsing poultry for the eggs they will produce. If you have moy- able houses for the flock, place them near fields likely to harbor destructive Insects; this will protect the crop and at the same time provide the necessary animal food, Outline of Good Ration for Growing Ducklings A good ration for ducklings consists of one part bran, one part cornmeal, one part ground crackers or stale bread made into a mash. Then 10 per cent beef scrap is added, as well as fine green food and a little sand, Be sure that the bread is not moldy and that all other ground grains are of good quality, POULTRY NOTES BDDODQDODOODDOODODOCODOOOOQOOD@: The hen is the only thing on the farm that can make money by “Just laying around.” 7+ © Paint the outside of the hen house; make it look as though it belonged to somebody.
