One Sunday, at the end of his sermon, the reverend gentle man said: "We’ll now have a few minutes of prayer. Deacon Brown will you lead ?” Lines of parked along roads made Ellimville look like a busy place Wednesday, more than 40 Usborne township farm ers were in the hamlet for the day to attend agricultural short course lectures given in the Us borne township hall. Lectures on poultry farming and tractor maintenance formed the Tuesday bill of fare at the farmers’ school, which began Monday and continues to-day. The tliree-day school at Elim ville is one of several organized this mouth by Gordon Bennett, agricultural representative for Huron, in a new program to car ry the latest word in agricultur al science to the people who can make use of it. The system of several three- day courses at scattered points in the country is a 1951 deve lopment, which replaces the plan used in previous years, of hold ing one longer school each win ter. Winter-Driving Hints Warning against putting a tractor—or an automobile—to work too quickly in the winter time was given by John Kilpat rick, Lucknow, who lectured on the subject of tractor mainten ance. If the motor is not to be worn out while it is still young, he said, it needs to warm up be fore it is given work to do. “Too many motors are ruin ed," he said, "by too quick a start. In winter driving, particu larly, the hardest wear is in the first ten minutes. Warm up your motor at up to one third throt tle before you move off." “The reason we have so much trouble with city-driven cars,” Kilpatrick observed, "is that the motor probably is never really warmed up in the w inter time. By city-driven cars that go only two or three miles in the morning, and then stand until they go two or three miles home again at noon, and the same in the afternoon. They don’t get driven enough to dry, funcln off the condensation of moisture in the motor." Cheap oil in a farm tractor is a poor economy, Mr. Kilpatrick advised. “When you pay any thing from $1,500 to $4,000 for a tractor, and then try to save by using 50-eent-a-gallon oil, it’s going to come out of your poc ket somewhere, because your motor won’t stand it." Tractor motors can be flushed with coal-oil, Mr. Kilpatrick sug gested, providing a quart of good oil is put with the coal oil, and providing the motor is not 1 run for more than five minutes. "Remember," he said, “that there is absoutely no lubricating value whatever in the coal oil itself." Heavy duty oil will harm a motor that has had a lot of wear, he advised. "Heavy duty oil is probably a good thing, if you start using it with a new or nearly new motor, and keep on using it." Diesels, he noted, usually like heavy duty oil. "Die sels might have come in years sooner than they did, except that there was no oil available that was heavy enough to wash down the cylinder walls of the diesel engine. Can’t Crank Diesel “You can’t crank a diesel to start it," Mr. Kilpatrick warned. ‘‘A diesel needs speed to start; it won’t start even at 105 revo lutions a minute; it may start at IOS, and it will usually start at 115. However, three men with a rope on the pulley, can usually start it, if it going any other the gear ratio is to give you the when you put the rope on the pulley." Prof. J.
