CLOUGH The One-Headlight Hasvard Don't Let Yours Be A "One Eyed" Car CARS BEING OPERATED with one or even both headlights out are all too frequently met with and they constitute a serious source of danger to all users of the highways, particularly as the only way of Judging the position of a car. at night, is by its lights. When the left headlight of a car is not burning the operators of approaching cars are called upon for very accurate judgment of distance, in order to avert collision, and the meeting of two cars, both of them with their left headlights out, is a most ticklish piece of work. The following suggestions fof doing dway with this evil are offered: Keep two perfect bulbs of each kind used in an accessible placé on the car, where they cannot get broken and replace any bulb which has burned out, just as soon as its failure is discovered. Sometimes headlight fromts rust onto the lamps and are hard to remove, when bulbs need replacing, so the metal rims should be kept greased internally to prevent their becoming stuck. Be sure that each wire, which leads to a headlamp, has a good connection at the puint where it gets its current, that the connections between the wires and the lamps make rellable contacts, that the connections at the lamp sockets are secure and that the lamps themselves are tight on their brackets, so as to make perfect ground connections. REVERSING A STORAGE why can't an engine be siarted by BATTERY hand-cranking without any battery and the car run? My battery has been taken out, as it is dead. ! Answer: It is a practical impos- sibility to hand crank an engine fast enough to make its generator fur- nish ignition current. The cut-out does not usually connect the wen- erator to the circuit short of a 10 m. p. h. high-gear speed, which { corresponds to 500 or 600 r. p. m. | of the engine and we doubt if any- | one could crank an engine at this Vi ¢ (rate.

The Battery's Busy Season Cold Weather Service "Takes It Out" Of A Battery DON'T FORGET THAT FROM NOW ON until the days get long again and the cold lets up, starting and lighting batteries will receive their hardest usage, partly from the protractsd lighting service required of them, but more especially from the enormously more severe duty of cranking cold-stiffened engines, fed with chilled gasoline. Unless a battery is in first-rate condition, at the beginning of cold weather, there is very likely to be trouble with ft during the time that the demands upon il are so extremely heavy and unless a battery is a new ome and known to be all right, it is an exceilent idea to take it to a service station and have it thoroughly gone over, fully charged and repaired if necessary, in order to forestall the likelihood of trouble developing from the drastic demands which will be made upon it. There are many old batteries, that have served well enough during the summer, but which are really in a "shaky" condition and are quite likely to "lay down" entirely, under winter service. The best time to replace a battery, which is known to ba nearing the end of its useful life, is just before the heavy cranking and lighting loads of winter come on. Not only must a battery be kept fully charged in winter, in order to do its work, but also to protect it from freezing and destruction. There is enough acid in the liquid of a charged battery to act as a positive anti-freeze agent, but not enough In a discharged battery to safeguard it against low temperatures. Every operator can "ease up" on his battery, during its period of overwork, by adopting high test fuel, by using engine ofl that thickens by cold as slightly as may be, by making sure that the carburetor connections are tight, that its adjustment is suMciently rich and that the choker closes tightly, by installing a reliable primer and by economising on the light used.

X | | TREES INJURED BY MICE. { This Can Be Prevented by Using | Information Available, Thousands of trees are injured in Canada every year by mice, and in | the newer districts a large number by rabbits also... All this could he prevented if the farmer or fruit grow- er would use the information avail- able and protect his trees from mice. | Some years there is less injury than | others, and this fact leads to care- leseness, and when a bad year comes i the (rees are unprotected. While the depreaations from mice x i and rabbits in winter vary from one | year to another, depending on the | scarcity or abundance of food, the | number of mice which are in the vicinity, and the character of the winter, the injury is always greatest when the orchard is in sod, and when there is rubbish lying about; hence the latter should be removed before the winter sets in. As mice may be expected in greater or less numbers | every winter, young trees should be regula~ly protected against their rav- ages. Mice usually begin working on the ground under the snow, and when they come to a tree they will begin | fo gnaw it if it is not protected. A | small mound of soil from eight to | twelve inches in height raised up | | about the base of the tree will often ! | prevent their injuring the tree, and | | even snow tramped about the tree | | has been quite effective, but the | cheapest and surest practice is to wrap the tree with ordinary building paper, the price of which is small. Tay paper is also cffectudl, but trees have been injured by using it, and it is well to guard against this when building paper wil: do as well. Alier the paper is wrapped around the tree and tied, a little earth should be put 2bout the lower end to prevent the mice from beginning to work there, as, if they get a start; the paper will not stand in their way. It may be stated, however, that among several thousand young trees which have been wrapped with building paper | | for years at the Experimental farm, | Ottawa, there have been practically | | no Instances where the mice have | | gnawed through the paper to get at | | the trees. The use of a wire protec- tor, or one made of tin or galvanized iron, is economical in the end, as | | they are durable. There are a number of washes and i Poisons recommended for the protec- tion of fruit trees and the destruc- | tion of the mice and rabbits, but | none of these is very satisfactory, as, | if the mice or rabbits are numerous, the poison has not sufficient effect | | upon them to prevent injury altogether.
