ROADSTER TOPS.
When the top of a roadster is re-
moved see that it is folded properly
and stored in a clean, dry, cool place
until needed again. A top can be
quickly ruined If allowed to remain in
the corner of the garage.
ABOUT SKIDDING
Skidding is likely to occur unless
the braking force is equal on both
sides, even when a car is equipped
with four-wheel brakes. Some cars
are designed to brake with greater
force on the rear than on the front

Darning Notice re Corn
AND
rer Act
Helpful Suggestions on Clean-up
Your are hereby notified that the Corn Borer Act is in force in your
county. This means that all corn must either be cut level with the ground
and all remnants gathered and burned; or, if cut higher, the stubble must
be ploughed under completely either this fall or next spring, and that any
stubble or pieces of stalks dragged up again must be gathered and burned.
If you are putting in winter wheat, remember that the field must first
be cleaned from all corn remnants as outlined above
SUGGESTIONS FOR LESSENING THE AMOUNT OF HAND-PICKING
AND BURNING.
1. Cut the corn low. Low cutting attachments for binders are now avail-
able, costing about $20.00. On small plots the corn with a hoe, not a
sickle.
2. If the stubble is more than two inches high, crush it thoroughly before
ploughing by running a heavy roller or planker over it twice, length.
wise the rows; or disc it twice; or lift it out with a plough and level
it with the the harrow. Crushing the stubble kills many borers.
8. Use a wide -farrow plough, never a narrow. Tractor ploughs should
have a roller coulter and skimmer; walking ploughs a skimmer and a
fin or high share or a knife coulter. Sometimes a chain or long wire
is also necessary.
4. Never plough crosswise, but always lengthwise, •of the rows.
5. Plough 6 inches sleep, if possible, and run the last furrow before the
stubble row as close to it as possible, so that on the next round' tete
stubble will all fall flat into the furrow and. be buried completely.
6. Never plough when the ground is too dry to do a good job,
7. Spring ploughing usually results in less picking, but fall ploughing,
especially after crushing the stubble, saves,time for other spring work,
8. When cultivating in spring, use a disc, and in sowing a disc drill.
Toothed implements drag up the stubble
9. Rolling in spring before cultivating often helps to lessen the amount
of stubble dragged up,
PLOUGHING KILLS THE BORERS ONLY IF THE SURFACE IS CLEAN
They nearly all come up to the surface after being ploughed' and, if
there are no pieces of corn or stubble to chicle in, they perish from ex-
posure or are destroyed by birds, ants, beetles or other enemies.
SWEET CORN USUALLY SUFFERS MOST FROM BORERS; HENCE
DO NOT OVERLOOK EVEN SMALL GARDEN PLOTS
The best wayto deal with them is to leave thein until spring and then
pull the stalks up

wheels and this should be c'icccicc.l
without delay.
TO SHIELD HEAD LIGHTS
Follow the leader if oncoming head-
lights aro bothersome at night. Keep
as close ne is Safely possible to the
rear of the car ahead and the result-
ing reflection will give excellent iu-
direct Illumination. The driver of
the car ahead takes the glare from
approaching machines.
CORRECT CARE OF TUBES
Tubes should be rolled flat with
soft cotton between the layer,.. A
strip of cotton flannel rolled up with
a tube is excellent. 'Phe roll should
then be placed in a thick cloth beg
with the stem protruding and the
mouth of the bag tied around the
stem. It is a good plan to dust talc-
urn powdca• in the bag.
LUBRICATING THE COMMUT-
ATOR.
Grease should not be used for the
lubrication of the commutator; cyli-
nder 011 18 the proper lubricant, and
it should be sparingly used. Tins
applies to all commutators or ignition
distributors. When grease is used
in the commutator it is quite likely
to prevent the distributor turn from
making contact, and an annoying type
of ignition trouble, ensues.
THAT GRINDING NOISE
When a grinding noise is heard in
the transmission case, it will be found
to be caused by one of the following
conditions. Lubrication failure,
either the oil' has leaked out or is too
thin in body to do its appointed task;
the shafts may be out of alignment,
bearings may be badly worn or
broken, or there may be clips from
injured teeth in the case. Whatever
the cause it should be run down and
eliminated immediately.
NEGLECT RUINS CAR
Reckless driving will put a car in
the junk pile in short order, but stupi-
dity has accounted for many a "slow"
wreck of a perfectly reliable machine.
The reason is the average driver fails
to consider the importance of lubri-
cation. Without proper oiling a car
cannot be expected to carry its owner
mile after mile along the highways,
no matter how good such highways
may be. Few motorists think of
proper lubrication. If they have to
run their car a few hundred miles
during the week, they put it away
Saturday night, confident it will stand
a long trip Sunday. The result is
frequently a breakdown, for a car
properly oiled and greased will last
immeasurably longer than one neg-
lected.
WORTH REMEMBERING
Never retard the spark to slow
down the speed of an engine. This
practice causes carbon formation and
l putting of valves in addition to
placing more work on the engine
and causing a waste of fuel. When
in the act of slowing down the speed
of the engine, close the throttle, and
as the engine speed dies, regulate
the spark accordingly. If it is des-
ired to cut down the speed of a env
when in motion, close the throttle,
disconnect the engine by means of
the clutch and apply the brake:.
When proper speed is attained speed
up the engine slightly and engage the
clutch slowly. Or close the engine
throttle and allow the car to idle
along to the speed wanted without
disengaging the clutch.
'HANDS ON STEERING WHEEL
When driving keep the hands on
the sides of the steeringwheel, and
as far apart as possible for good
leverage, Never grip the wheel at
the top or bottom with the hands
close together.
AUTOMOBILISTS ARE WARNED
TO FOLLOW SIGNS' ADVICE
When the motor wearer travel-
ing a strange road encounters one
of those signs which reads, in effect,
"steep hill, go into second gear," it
pays to take the advice literally.
Many do not and with disastrous
results. Ordinarily, these signs have
been. erected only after the highway
department has had experience which
fully justifies their use. The fore-
sighted motorist will realize this.
CLEANING THE ENGINE
Keep the engine clean. It will
repay the extra effort. A spray p't-
ntp run by electricity or compressed
air is good, but where brush will not
be able to reach spout is substiutecl.
The .dirt can then be workeod down
with a long -handled brush. If a spr-
ayer is not availiable a tin can may
be used to hold 'the liquid, but the
brush will not able to reach every part
reached by a sprayer. Nothing but
kerosene should be used for this work.
It cuts the grease and dick quickly and
does not evaporate before working
it down with a brush. It . gives a
disagreeable smell when the engine
is first heated up, but this soon pas-
ses away. Gasoline is too `danger,
ous to be employed in this work
because there is always danger that
some of it may not have evaporated.

low when using the engine as a brake
in descending very steep hills.

fires and wear out bearings. A

DISEASES IN FOREST TREES
ALWAYS REMEMBER Pulp wood forests, like most other
Remember always to apply the vegetation, are subject to loss by
brakes gently. When brakes are `decay. To arrive at reasonable
conclusions as to the cause of this
condition and the practiability cf
applying methods of control, the
Botanical Division of the Experimen-
tal Farms conducted a series of stud-
ies in pulp wood timber limits in the
province of Quebec. The work was
carried on by Mr. A. W. McCallum,
Forest Pathologist, who has issued a
report of his findings in Bulletin No.
104 of the Department of Agri-
culture at Ottawa. The studies were
confined to decays in balsam fir in
which it was found that three decays
of importance were discovered, one
that effects the heart of the tree,
and two that attack the butts. These
are designated red rot, feather rot,
and brown rot. The red rot, it was
found, gains it entrance to the heart
jammed hard it puts a severe strain
on the tires and may cause one wheel
to lock and slide, wearing the tread
at that point. Judge the distance
and momentum, and stop by using
brakes as little as possible.
CHECK UP
Car owners miss an opportunity 1f
they fail to check up on the condition
of the valve springs when cleaning
carbon. Many of them do fail to
do this. Furthermore, if the carbon
job is turned over to the service
station, it pays to specify a checkup
on the springs as part of the work.
A weak valve spring contributes a
good deal to poor engine performa-
nce. It is doing so in a great many
instances every hour of the clay, and

the forester to manage the stand so
as to avoid loss of this nature to a
large estent. For instance, in the
Lake St. Joint county it was found
that decay in balsam fir does not
become serious until the stand has
reached 80 years of age.
With this knowledge the forester
is in a position to fix the rotation,
or approximate length of time for
which the stand is to be allowed to
grow, with some assurance that at
the time of harvesting the crop will
not have been seriously effected by
decay. It is only in this way that

WEST HURON TEACHERS
HOLD ANNUAL SESSION
New Inspector, E. Beacom, Is Intro-
duced at Goderich Convention,
Goderich, Oct. 11—The 51st an-
nual convention of the West Huron
Teachers' Association opened at Vic-
toria School, Goderich, today, and
will continue tomorrow. One hun-
dred and thirty-two teachers regis-
tered at today's sessions. The pre-
sident, Miss I. E. Sharman, principal
of Central. School, Goderich, occup-
ied the chair.
At the morning session J. E. Tom, E
who recently retired from the posi-
ition of inspector, gave an address
and then introduced the new inspect-
or, E. Beacom. Mr. Beacom said Ise ;
wished to assist the teachers in every •
way possible and hoped for their co-
operation in the interests of the
boys and girls. Miss Anna Woods,
of Bayfield, spoke on primary work
and Mrs. Koehler, of Zurich, on first
book work. The report of the On-
tario Educational Association was
given by Miss L. Robinson, of Gode-
ridh, and G. S. Howard, of Exeter.
At the afternoon session Mr. Pick-
les, of the London Normal School,
gave an interesting address on man-
ual training. He spoke of manual
training as a benefit in developing
character as well as useful in co -
relation with other subjects. Se-
cond -book work was taken by Hiss
G. Mason, of Exeter.
In the evening the teachers Were

TONGUE SALAD
A tasty salad for a warm day:
Three cupfuls diced cooked tongue.
11 cupful diced cooked carrots, 3cieup-
iful chopped green peppers, 4.cup-
j fun chopped pimentoes, salt and pap-
rika. Mix together and add French
dressing to blend. Chill, Serve on a
bed of crisp lettuce with a dab of
mayonnaise atop each serving.
OCCASIONALLY
Don't get in the habit of using too
many cream sauces on things. They
• are very apt to make a number of
i •vegetables and meats taste alike and
therefore very monotonous.
AN UNLOVELY SIGHT
Cut flowers are beautiful in the
home, but they are anything but bear
utiful if allowed to die in their holdera'
and then not thrown out.
CROSSWISE
Kimona aprons and dresses should:
be ironed from side to side instead
of lenthwgise to p"rev: nt that ugly
sagging at the side seams.

A THOUGHT FOR OTHERS
Pass, on the magazines when the
family has read them. There are ple-
nty of institutions that will welcome
them and much good will be done
with little effort and no expense on
your part,
USEFUL HINTS
Furniture polish will clean patent
leather shoes beautifully.
Never chop chicken or celery for
salad. Dice it carefully with a
sharp knife.
A 'little salt added to the bluing
will prevent the clothes from being
streaked with color.
A bowl of lime in the closet with.
the preserrves and jellies will prevent
mold from forming on the tops of the
jars.
Why should
you always be
having trouble?
rl THER fellows use the same tires, run the
same distance, cover the same roads—and
have no trouble at all.
Test your tire pressure every week. Don't guess
it — gauge it. Run round to a Dominion Tire
Depot and have the pressure checked and your
tires inspected. Let an expert search for cuts and
bruises.
A slight repair in time may prevent a blowout,
and add a, few thousand miles to the life of your
tires.
