A Helpful Discussion of a Very Important Subject. : By A. A. GILMORE, ASAE. lug When a farmer decides to erect a ] on the different materials that will be used in the building. The local lumber- men quote him a price of $25.00 per thousand on.a pretty good grade Then he goes to the hardware man or his builder, and wants to get prices on metal Tooling and \Pomsibly idle, aud is guoted a pricq of $6.50 or .00 juare. ® e in on 18 erect a frame Sher plate om ction, and cover: the roof with metal, and the sides as . new barn, he naturally wants prices of lum- wood, pos- not too high, but Mr. Farmer considers these prices care fully all the way home, and finally comes to the conclusion that the lumber gures out about 2%¢. per-foot, and the metal 5% or 6c. per foot, or more It certainly looks like it, but-- Let us take two. barns, size 36' wide, 56' long, elde wall 16' high, having gambrel roof, and campare them.

Physic- , Veterinary surgeons and other professional men who do a great deal of night driving, must realize that a battery is called upon for tremendous energy to keep the lights, the igni- tion and starter in constant running order, | We know of many farmers who have purchased a car in the busy the fields, have taken it out for long rides at night. The extra energy re- quired for. the lights is a constant drag upon the battery, and if the agri- culturist does not speed his car up at frequent intervals, and continues to run it only after dark, he Will find the battery losing its "pep" slowly and surely. Neglect also contribubes to a weakening condition when the owner fails to refill the battery on the first and fifteenth of each month with dis- 'tilled water, In most care you will find .a plate upon which is engraved complete instructions, and a warning 'nob to forget that the battery, needs distilled water. When you find that yaur battery is not giving maximum service, do not take it to an enced individual for tampering ses, but rather have some expert charge it, The lat- ter will revivify it gradually, so that the heat will never be above 100 de- grees Fahrenheit. A hydrometer syringe is called into use, and as long as the gravity keeps rising the electri- city must be allowed to go into the battery in order that its highest pow- er may 'be attained. A quick charge slips away quickly; a long, low charge passes out the way it enters. Per- haps we have gone too far in this article without explaining, that a bat- some day it will stop suddenly, justas ° 'horse drops, dead, and expendi- ture is réquired where a small one, ! paid out at the proper time, would have saved many dollars and much trouble. i The company's guarantee that goes { with the battery is not a whit differ- 'ent from a warranty of any other kind. Abuse is not included. There are cases where batteries have been turned out with defects and have proved inefficient, and in 'such in- stances' the makers have nevér failed to provide proper replacements. In Grant me by favor (mar-| Season, and, after working all day in" the manufacturer, You must regard your battery in just the same light as you consider a tire. When the lat- ter is pounded over the road, under inflated, left out in the hot sun, or skidded, damage is bound to result, and an adjustment from the rubber company cannob be demanded reason- ably. So it is with a battery, If ou fail to constantly provide distilled water, leave your ignition switch open a long time before the starting pedal is pushed down, allow visitors. to put the lights on and off, léave the car stanging for m.fay hours with lights burning and the motor running slowly, you will take out of the life of the bat- tery the force that sooner or later you will require in an emergency, Do you make the excuse that there is any- thing difficult about a battery. A ;child can provide. it with all the care ; it requires, and do not say that you cannot get distilled water, .for all druggists keep it in stock constantly, and should you find it impossible to procure a supply at any point, all that it is necessary to do is bo leave some sort of earthen vessel out in the open air where it can gather rain wat- er that is free from any metallic con- tamination.--Auto in Farmer's Advo- cate.
