Cummings The Car Owner's Scrap -Book (By the Left Hand Monkey Wrench) USE SPARE TO CHANGE TIRE. If it becomes necessary to change a tire and the jack will not go under the ear conveniently, place the spare tire on the drive wheel with the flat tire upon it. It always is best to re- move the spare tire before jacking up the car. A TRAFFIC TRICK. Allowing reasonable space %be- tween the car with the one ahead, when stopped in a line of traffic, will often allow pulling out of line and advancing when a car ahead becomes stalled. Quite often being too close to a stalled car means that those 'behind must wait. WORTH REMEMBERING. Rough spots in the street such as loose stones, uneven ear tracks, or other obstructions, are hard on tires particularly when power is applied to the rear wheels. Much of the strain on the car can be avoided by releasing the clutch and coasting over rough places. TIRE INSPECTION. Tires should be examined occas- ionally for uneven wear. If the tread is cutting or ehgpping off in spots, the wheels may be out of line or the tire may be under -inflated. A bent axle, bent steering knuckle or broken spring bent spindle, drag- ging brake or loose wheel may be causing the, damage. USE OF FELT WASHERS. Felt washers are often used as grease retainers. These must fit snugly all around and should not be- come wrinkled. Usually there is a metal washer that goes with the felt to brace it. This should not be bent or mishaped as it will not hold the felt even .by allowing the escape of grease or oil, - FLIRTING WITH INJURY AND DAMAGED Cesre. One of the main causes of acci- dents on the highway is "cutting in" Some drivers never seem to learn that they should not attempt to peas. another vehicle unless there is 'ample room, and that the manoeuvre should not be attempted if there is a blind curve, a crossroad, a driveway on the left, a hill or anything else which would obstruct the vision. WATER IN GAS TANK Water in the gasoline tank may ' cense the engine to 'stop suddenly, but usually the stopping is accomp- anied by a "popping" in the carbine etor and 'a loss of pewee. Sometimes the water evil). cause the engine to:, hesitate a moment, then speed up and again hesitate. The only way to correct this trouble Is so drain the carburetor after gently tapping it. "FIXING" THE CARBURETOR.' Do not tee to improve the caibur- eter . after it is once adjusted, The adjusing screws on ;the earburetor always are locked so that they can- not ofthemselvesmove. Therefore, if the mixture was right last week, it will be right this week, as far as these screws are concerned. Should the carburetor be suspected of faul- ty operation, have an expert make the necessary changes. THE BRU$$EL MAKING SILAGE FROM LEGUMES • Sweet- clover, red clever end a mixture of oats, peas end vetches have been made into very palitebie silage with little difficulty, More trouble, however, has been exper-. ieneed in making decerable silage from alfalfa. For ,the past 'five years extensive experihneets have been conducted at the Central Ex- perimental Farrn at Ottawa to deter- mine the best methods of making sil- age from the legume crops mention- ed above, and ' considerable inform- ation is now available on this sub- ject. It has been found that sweet clo- ver makes the quality of silage if the crop is cut when half the plants are showing their first blossom% While some difficulty has been experienced in harvesting green sweet clover with the binder, the ease with which the bond sheaves are handled to the silo has more than offset the difficulties met in harvesting the crop in this manner. Two or three hours of wilt- ing in the field after cutting dill not injure the sweet clover for silage but longer periods should be avoided especially if the weather is dry and hot. • i In many regions where red clover grows with success, it is usually made into hay but the experiments con- ducted at the Experimental Farm in- dicate that this crop will also pro- duce good silage. Red clover cut when in full bloom and ensiled with- in two or three hours produced sil- age which always came out of the silo in splendid condition. Mixtures of oats and peas, and oats, peas and vetches which were cut when oats were in early dough stage yielded silage of the best qual- ity. At this stage of growth the crop is usually showing faint evidence of beginning to change from a green to a ripe colour. A few hours of wilting in the field did not affect the quality of the silage secured from these mix- tures. When the crop was wilted for more than three or four hours in the. the hot sun there was a Tendency for pockets to mold to be found in the silo when this over -wilted material was ensiled. No commonly grown hay crop ex- ceeds alfalfa in value and this crop should be made into hay rather than into silage. In fact alfalfa has prov- en in these experiments the most dif- ficult crop to ensile, frequently pro-. deicing very , unpalatable silage. When a successful method is devel- oped for making alfalfa into silage it might be found profitable to store this crop in the silo. Altnough diffi- culties were encountered in the suc- cessful ensiling of alfalfa, experi- ments have shown that «'-ten natural moisture of the alfalfa plants which were cut in full bloom, was reduced in most df the trials. In two instan- ces were this practice was followed, however, the weather prevailing when the crop was being wilted in the field was particulaty dry and hot, and the alfalfa became over -wil- ted producing moldy pockets in the silo. The addition of green material with a high content of carbonhyd- rates also proved to be of some value in making successful silage from the alfalfa crop. When unwilted full - bloom alfalfa was mixed with 25 per rent timothy a silage of good quality was secured in three trials, but in one other trial the silage was only fain Leaving the alfalfa until ten days after full bloom before cutting, and ensiling it without wilting, gave a very promising result in one trial conducted last year. While these ex- periments have not yet been definit- ely solved the problem of successful- ly 'ensiling alfalfa, considerable pro- gress has been made. as HURON COUNTY REMOVING CARBON. When removing the carbon from cylinders, first drain water, then re- move the cylinder head. It is well to grind the valves at the same time,. although this is nat necessary if they are seating properly. Scrape the car- bon off the pistons and block with a putty knife or any other flat article. A penknife may be used in cleaning the valve seats. Be sure when assem- bling that- all gaskets are in good condition. Good spring take the bounce out of the car. ' Never permit children to play in or around the car. Changing the solution in a storage battery does not charge it. It saves relining brakes if engine compression is used in going down grade. Many of the gauges on the in- strument board do not register ac- curately until the engine is running. It is always a good plan to keep inactive parts oiled, Burn as the jack, tools, tire lock, etc. Leaky battery cables, like leaky garden hose, permit waste of the juice and should be replaced at least every 15,000 miles. Loose bearings, on- of the prin- cipal causes of knocks and loss of power, are the direct and inevitable result of using the wrong oil. Ole! or worn out spark plugs cause poor starting and exceestve drain on the battery, poor running, and loss of power especially en hills, Drive slowly over rough cobble- stone streets and allow the car to at- tain a rolling motion. This will save the tires as well as the springs. A. small block of wood to fit ,ander the arch of the foot will relieve the tired and aching feeling when op - minting the accelerator on long drives. After a new ear has been von 1,- 000 miles, it is advisable to take down the crankcase and clean it thoroughly in order to remove all the fillings, castings scales, etc., that could not be removed at the factory. The cause of a storage battery over -heating snay be charging too rapidly or not enough solution of dis- tilled water to cover the plates . Re - may bebuckled plates. The bat tery plates should be below 110 de- grecs.. Too much or not enough choking inay be the difficulty when trying to start the engine. A reasonable a- mopnt of, "pep" may be determined by observing the exhaust. If smoke is °soaping inappreciable quantities, the motor is getting too much gas.
