Worth Knowing
It does not make starting; easier to
race the engine when switching off.
The theory of this, moreover, is that
the pistons suck up a quantity of gas
vapor, which not being ignited, re-
mains in the cylinders to assist in
starting later. What happens is that
the quantity of gas vapor sucked into
the cylinders is expelled, unburned,
through the exhaust. As the engine
comes to a stop the suction decreas-
es and only the normal tundunt of
gas is drawn into the cylindersunder
compression. The situation is iden-
tically the same if the engine is
switched off while running normally,
and less gas is wasted.

To Adjust Headlamps,
I One way of adjusting headlamps
is, to stand 300 feet in front of the
car on a, level stretch of road and if
lights prove objectionably glaring
have the focus of the bulbs and the
lamps corrected until the glare is
decreased.
A Tip On Installing Wires
Wires used in the installation- of
electric accessories on the car should
always be properly insulated. It is
wise to make sure of this and also
sure that no loose ends dangle against
metal parts, They are apt to cause
a short circuit that may set fire to
the car.
Watch the Water Pump.
A water pump that requires fre-
quent tightening to stop a leak
should he repacked because the pres-
sure required to hold water with poor
packing is not only hard on the pack-
ing band and nut, but strains the
bearing as well. A. small leak that
often goes unnoticed will drain the
radiator in a short time.
Look in Gas Tank When Car Stops.
If the car stops suddenly on the
road make the following cheek before
calling for help: First see that there
is enough gasoline in the main supply
tank, next open the drain cock under
the carburetor float chamber, push a
small wire through the drain cock
hole to make sure it is not. plugged
with sediment.. If .gasoline will not
flow freely from the drain cock, dis-
connect the fuel line at the carbur-
etor. If gasoline flows freely from
this tube, but not from the float chain
bey, clean the carburetor strainer. If
fuel will not flow from the vacuum
tank, examine the screen at the top
of the vacuum tank. If this is demi,
blow through the main feed, line. if
all fuel lines and screens are clean,
the suction line from the vacuum
tank to the carburetor should be
checked for loose connections or
leaks. If it is impossible to get gas-
oline flowing to the vaenum tank,
it is possible- to reach a garage
by refilling -the vacuum tank,
which ordinarily holds enough fuel
to travel four or five miles. If the
fuel system function s properly, check
the eketrieal system for loose wire
terminals, broken connections or
burnt fuse.

Back -Firing Cause Most Fires
The' most general cause of fires
around an automobile comes from
backfiring. .And the principal rest -
eon for backfiring is too loan a mix-
ture fed to the cylinders. When
there is a back fire, a shoot of flame
comes from the air intake of the car-
buretor.If there ie anything inflam-
mable nearby it is very apt to catch
on fire. Gasoline vaporizes so (pick-
ly that if there is gasoline in the drip
pan there is apt to be 10 sufficient
mixture around the carblaretor to
make trouble- The idea is to keep
the icarip pan free from gasoline. See
that there is no leak in the supply

sorbent cotton or linen, four -fold a

treatment for half an hour; then 1
the patient rest for a couple of hom
and repeat the treatment for anothe
half hour, continuing in this alterna
ing manner until the desired result
obtained.
Wounds and burns about the eye

as much as will dissolve.

solution of one part of vinegar t
four parts of water into the eye an
washing the eye with clean wate
freely. If the eye is burned by acids
and you see it immediately after
wards, you may wash the eyes with
lime water or water to which a little
baking soda has been added—one
half teaspoonful of baking soda to a
glass of water.
If you have none of these remed-
ies, then wash the eye by pouring
clean tap water, gently but freely,
into the eye from a small clean pit-
cher, until you are sure that you
thoroughly washed out all of the
caustic substanc.e.
Later wash the eye at intervals
with boric acid solution and apply
cold compresses until you are sure
there is 110 serious damage or until
tile patient can see a physician, pre-
ferably oculist.
Congestion of the eyelids may be
regarded as a pery mild conjunctivi-
tis or inflammation of the eyes. It
may he caused by smoke or dust or
by exposure to an excessive glare as
in the case of firemen, Sometimes,
congested eyelids are due to constant
reading or to embroidering or steady
use of the eyes, particularly when the
work is done in a poor light.
The germs which ,acconmany a cold
in the head may be carried to the
eyes by the fingers in rubbing or
they may find their way to the eyes
direct by passing up the tear duct
which leads from the nose to the in-
ner corners of the eyes.
In congestion of the lids, the eyes
feel heavy' or weary as if there were
little grains of sand in them. There
may be smarting, burning, or itching
of the lids and there is a disinclina-
tion to prolong the use of the eyes
The treatment for congested lids is
better light, prophr glasses, if re-
quired, rest, attention to the usual
requirement of personal hygiene such
as balanced/ diet, as well as the daily
bath and adequate sleep. Dark glas-
ses may be used if found helpful but
they are seldom necessary. A few
drops of solution of zinc sulphate,
made by dissolVing one grain et sine
sulphate to an ouriec of water may
be dropped into the eye two hr throe
times a day as 00 astringent,

Of all the varieties, strains and
hybrids of oats grown in the experi-
mental plots in 19,25, the 0. A. C.
No. 144 gave the 'highest yield per
acre as it did in 1924. At the annual
meeting of the Canadian Seed Grow-
ers' Association which was held last
June at Edmonton, Alberta, this sew
variety of oats was accepted as elig-
ible for regiatration in Canada. This
la the only variety of oats whiak has
been added to the eligible list for
several years.
The 0. A. C. No. 144 variety of
oats was started from a selection
taken in 1912 from amongst plants
of the 0. A. O. No. 79 variety. It is
deadedly 'different, however, from
the latter and seems dietinct from
any other of three hundred or more
named variations ot oats which have
en testod for five years and up-
wards at the Ontario Agricultural
College.

CROSSINGS TAKE
LIVES OF FORTY
65 Grade Crossing Accidents on C.
N.R. Liner, During the Year 1925
Figures compiled by the operatine,
dee,•etmeet of the Ganadi:m Ne,ional
sh•lve that during 1925 on
the lines of the system there wure
05 grade crossing. accidents to val..
vies, ln which 40 people Jost their
Nees and 51 were eeriollsly or slight-
ly injured. In only nine eases were
there no fatalities or injuries. All
but 12 of the accidents happened to
automobiles or motor trucks,
While it is difficult to place the
blame in all casts, subsequent investi-
gation rigorously pursued showed the
railway company was not at fault,
every precaution having been taken
by it to prevent these occurrence.
In two cases three complete fam-
ilies were wiped out and in one acci-
dent two whole families lost thrir
lives. It is also a matter of undis-
puted faet that good fortune rather
than any other circumstance was al-
one responsible for the comparative-
ly low mortality figure among such
a large number of crossing accidents.
The automobile has yet to be made
that can try conclusions with a swift-
ly moving train, and win.
Investigations proved that in a
large number of cases the accidents
were due solely to carelessness on the
part of the drivers of the automo-
biles. Listed among the accidents
are two where autoists drove their
cars into the tenders of the engines;
three where the automohiles hit the
second or third car back of the mil
gine and one where the driver actual-
ly crashed into the twentieth car back
of the engine and did it with suffic-
ient force to soinewhat bruise and
injure the occupants of the automo-
bile as well as to damage his mach -
n0.
No one month was free from cross -
ng acridents, but October led,, which
might indicate that towards the end
f the motoring season, drivers be-
aine more careless in approaching
ailway crossings.
The accidents by months were:

Overloaded churns cause a heavy
los s of fat in the buttermilk. Churns
should not be tilled over one-half full
of cream.
The acid -alcohol test for skim -milk
and buttermilk shows that the losses
of fat in dairy by-products is much
greater than is commonly supposed—
about double that shown by the or-
dinary Babcock method of testing.
Skim milk and buttermilk may be
condensed or powdered and then be
used for feeding pigs and poultry
with satisfactory results. The ad -
Vantage of this plan is that it reduces
the bulk and puts it in condition
where it will keep in storage.
Sour cream may be "neutralized"
with bicarbonate of soda a,nd be used
for ice cream manufacture. "Ira
-
provers" or "ripener" shorten the
time required for ageing the cream
without lessening the overrun and
without deteriorating the quality of
the ice cream made by their use.— •

QUALITY AND men.
The Price Difference Is the Stimulus
for Improvement.
The market demands quality, even'
article of farm produce needs be like
every other article of tho same grade
or class. :Buyers demand this and if
ithey do not get it they go where
'uniformity of grade and quality
standards aro maintained. On farms
,where the production is mixed, this
is mustard and oats, chickens of all
colors and shapes, or pigs of var-
ious descriptions, etc., quality pro-
ducts are not in evidence. So the
first move toward quality products
is either a specialized or diversified
type of farming where the elements
of production are at least themselves
uniform, and capable of producing
quality.
