WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG - Only/ull'size GumDipped Balloons Give al theAdvantages Low Pressure cess of gum-dipping that impregnates each individual cord with 'pure rubber giving the balloon carcass, with its thin side walls, the great strength necessary to flex and absorb road shocks. Firestone full-size Balloons give equal or better mileage than regular cords. They make all roads safe and poor roads better. Adopt them now and you will put a new enjoyment in short and long trips. There is a Fire- stone dealer near who will give you full details about their application. ALBERT L.CLOUGH Oil And Grease Leaks A "Wormseye View" Of Your Car Will Help To Locate Them AS ALL LUBRICANTS are thinned and made more fluid by ine creased temperature, escapes of oil and grease from the working parts; which have been prevented by the viscosity of the lubricant in cold weather, often begin to occur when hot weather comes on. Grease from front wheel bearings may be thrown out all over the spokes and tires, but this can usually be stopped by removing the wheels and put- ting in new felt washers If lubricant escapes from the rear-axle housing onto the brakes and wheels, the use of a heavier grade of gear oil and the avoidance of too high a level in the housing may stop further trouble but it may be necessary to renew the felt washers just inside of the wheel bearings and possibly to remove the axle shafts and clean them of oil. OI] leakage may result from looseness of the bolts which hold together the two halves of the axle housing or those which secure the inspection plate or from defective gaskets at these joints, Grease or oil may be thrown out of the housings of mechanical uni- versal joints, so that they soon run dry. In one common form of joint, a cup-shaped retainer, on the drive shaft housing, is pressed against the hemispherical joint housing by a spring and. between the retainer and the joint-housing is a felt packing ring. Renewal of this packing and adjustment of the spring pressure will usually restore tightness. If lubricant escapes from the transmission, past the clutch shaft bearing or along the final drive shaft, the remedy is renewal of the felt washers, but this Is a job requiring considerable disassembling. The use of a heavier gear oil and the avoidance of too high a level may reduce the leakage. Any looseness of cover or countershaft end-plate nuts should be corrected. When the engine oil-pan has been removed for any pur- pose, it sometimes happers that its gasket is broken or that the cap screws, which hold the pan to the crankcase, are improperly tightened. thus creating an oil leak. If the timing gear case cover has an imper- fect gasket or is loose oil will escape at its joint.

IS THIS CAR A 1922 OR 1923? | | | L. W. writes: I recently bought | a used car, which the dealer] claimed was a 1923 model, but! which I have reason to believe is really a 1922. How can I find out | as to this? Answer: The serial number of | this car and perhaps of its engine, | if the two do not correspond, are | all you require to settle this ques- | tion and if you haven't them on | record already, you should he able! to find them by examining the car. | There may be a name plate some- where on the dash or heelboard which bears the car number and the engine number will probably | be found stamped on one of the| arms which holds it to the frame. | You may have to clean the metal | to make it visable. Almost every dealer in used cars has lixs of serial numbers of each year's mod- els of the well known makes and reference to such a list will at once disclose in which year this car was built, These lists are also pub- | lished in automobile trade direc- | tories and In certain motor Jour. | nals. By quoting your numbers to | the concern that built your car, ! they can tell you its vintage.

R. writes: A month ago, I had cement put into the radiator of my car to stop its leak- ing. but now circulation through it is Impeded, the water seeming to flow through the sides but not in fhe center. It steams badly after running the engine a few minutes. I took it to a radiator expert and had him clean it out but the water still steams away rapidly. What had I better do? Answer: If the radiator repair man who attempted to clean it out is really an expert in his business and did the utmost that can be done to remove the cement, the only thing for you to do is to get a new radiator-core and install it in your present shell, but if there is any possibllity that this repair. man was not fully skilled in this work, it may be worth your while to have another attempt made, by some one else, to remove the ob. structions. As it appears that this core was leaky before this present trouble came on, it will not pay to EO to too great expense for clean- ing it out, considering that the cost of a new core is fairly moderate. answered dy permitting.

TURKEYS AND THEIR REARING The economic advantage of a good- sized flock of turkeys on a farm is too generally overlooked. The turkeys are not only profitable when raised for ta- ble purposes but they save much grain from destruction by ravages from grass hoppers. There is little danger of the] wholesale destruction of a field of growing grain by these pests on farms Varieties of Turkeys-- There are severdl varieties of tur- keys, the most popular of which is the Mammouth Bronze. It is the largest and hardiest of all, the standard weights for it being 36 pounds for a two year old cock, 33 pounds for a yearling and 25 pounds for a cockerel. The White Holland finds favor with many because it is the most domes- tic'and prolific. Other good varieties are the Narragausett and the Bourbon Red. Feeding Mature Birds-- During the winter turkeys should be | fed twice a day on equal parts of oats, wheat and. corn, giving cabbage, tur- nips or beets in place of other green stuff. In the breeding and laying sea- son it is necgssary, in addition to the above, to provide plenty of grit, shell and charcoal. Turkeys can stand a rea- sonable degree of cold weather, and'do not usually require any special house. The majority of turkey raisers, except in the depth of winter, allow their Lirds to roost in the open. Means of Incubation-- Incubators are used to some extent where turkeys are raised on a large scale, but ordinarily turkey hens and chicken hens are used as sitters. When it is desired to have the turkey lay*a second or third batch of eggs, the early batch or batches have to be hatch ed under chicken hens. Turkey hens are very close sitters and are the best means of incubation that can be secur- ed. Turkey hens cover from 15 to 18 eggs while chicken hens cover from § to 10, according to the size of the hen. Turkey eggs can be tested for fertility | after the tenth day. It requires 28 days for incubation, and sometimes takes Poults Must Be Kept Dry-- For the poults, as young turkeys are called, it is very essential to provide a coup that will protect from the rain and yet that is well ventilated and easily portable. Great care should be more, provided she is properly fed. The poults should be confined the first three or four days until they become strong enough to run about. They must be protected from heavy dews and showers for a month or more. No- thing is more fatal to young poults than wet and cold, unless it is over- feeding. Young poults usually remain with their mother until October or November, when the males separate from the rest and range off by them- selves. Improper feeding has been the cause of many failures in turkey raising. When on free range which is well sup- plied with green feed and insects, it is a good plan to let the poults feed them- selves. If it is desired to feed them at night they should be fed in the same place every time and they will soon learn to come themselves. Feeding the Poults-- * For the first two days after hatching poults require no feeding, Access to drinking water, green feed and coarse sand is all that is required the third day. They should be kept hungry all the time. If fed too heavily they will not exercise, and indigestion will re- sult. When necessary to confine be- cause of rain or for other reasons they should, if over three®days old, be gi- ven a light feed five times a day. Any feed that is good for chicks is good for poults. Young poults will take to roosting when about six weeks old. Usually they roost in trees, on barns or on fen- ces. By making roosts near some shed or 'barn and feeding the young poults there every night they will soon learn to make use of them regularly. Questions on This Week's Lesson-- 1.

Straus, President American Society for Thrift It is well that the subject of thrift be kept constantly before the public. This does not mean that there should be a continual exhorta- tion to save money. What it does mean is that too much gen- eral attention can- not be: given to methods of wise spending, economy, efficiency and elim- ination of waste, as well as sensible saving. To this end a conference soon will be held in Washington of representatives of various groups and organizations interested in thrift. A little lees than nine years ago a' conference was held on the grounds of the Pan- ama-Pacific Expositiéa in San Francisco. The meeting which was called the International Con- gress for Thrift, resulted in the formation of plans for the in- troduction of thrift teachings in * .the schools of America. Today thousands of our boys and girls are being given class-room in- structions on thrift as the direct result of that conference. The good thus accomplished has been beyoad calculation. Teach thrift. Talk thrift. Preach thrift. But let it be the thrift of progress and upbuild- ing, not the so-called thrift of avarice and selfishness. The correct use of time, thought and money are vastly more important than the mere function of saving money. To be thrifty is to thrive in the tru- est and most comprehensive sense. We are assured that the pending Washington con- ference will seek to find means by which various im- portant organiza- tions can co-oper- ate to the end of encouraging thrift of this kind. The serious considera~ tion of these mat- ters by a group of public spirited men and women actuated by sincere a-jirations will result in a trem.ndous im- petus to thrift education in America. This conference will, for these reasons, be the most important event of the kind since the in- tensive thrift activities of war days. The very fact that so many groups and individuals are vi- tally interested. in this confer- ence is an inspiring proof that there is a great public thrift im- pulse in America. Prior to 1914 an effort to hold a serious and important nation-wide confer- ence on thrift would have been futile. America is learning the im- portance of intelligent thrift! cooping young turkeys? 4. How should young turkeys be fed? Answers to Last Week's 1. Poultry are said to be trapnested when nests are used that are so con- structed that a hen, identified by means of a numbered leg band, cannot leave | it except as released by the attendant. Thus an accurate record may be kept of the number of eggs laid by each hen. 2. The chief requirement of a trap- | nest is a door which may be so swung as to permit the hen to enter the nest at will but which prevents her leaving until released. 3. Pedigreeing involves the marking of hatching eggs so that the product of each hen may be identified and the banding of the chicks so that the par- entage of each one may be ascertained at any time. 4. The requirements for registering a hen are that she, as well as her dam and granddam, shall have laid in a energy, | Auto Batte Made Repaired When you need your Battery repaired or one made to order, al. |i 80 automobile repair work, it will pay you to see us.
