"Yes, dear," I replied, in a sweet, gentle voice. "Don't they call this the dash light?" She queried, fingering the little nickel-plated illuminator. "Yes, honey," my words floated out softly as before. ,-And is this Um cut-out?" she inquired. .• Yes, Toodle's," as I took my foot off the accelerator. Not more than 200 feet away our course was block* ed by a fast moving train. But what on earth is this funny looking pedal?" she said, in a curious tone, as she gave the accelerator a vigorous push with her dainty foot.

This has been demonstrated to be especially true of hogs and chickens. The reason is that ordinary window glass acts as a filter to the direct rays of the sun. Glass filters out the so-called ultra-violet rays--the rays that have a great deal to do with Invigorating the animal. Recently Prof. L. V. Crum, physicist •f Iowa State' college, has completed some tests that are of Interest in this connection. 9 Professor Crum took 24 chickens that had been kept under ordinary glass for three weeks. The birds were divided Into three groups of eight each. One group was housed under glass cloth. The second group was housed under celo-glass, another product that does not exclude ultra-violet light, and a third group was housed under ordinary window glass. All were given the same feed and general care. The experiment continued for four weeks. Two of the chickens kept under ordinary glass died of rickets^ The remaining six gained 180 per cent in weight during the four week period. All of the eight chickens kept under the glass cloth remained healthy and made a gain of 250 per cent during the four-week period. The group kept under the celo-glass did not do so well as that under the glass cloth. In this group two birds also died, but It appears that one of them died from an unavoidable cause, for which the celo-glass could not be blamed. The other, however, died of rickets, but is was not a healthy bird when the experiment began. While this test is not reported because it is conclusive, we refer to it to remind our readers that ordinary window glass Is not as good a product £s we have been in the hpblt of thinking, because it screens out some of the most active rays of tli£ sunlight, says the Wisconsin Farmer. No doubt the open front houses that have come into such general use In recent years owe their beneficial effect upon the flock at least partly to the fact that the ultra-violet rays of the sun pass freely through the curtain fronts. POWER Is there a ear that can out-climb the Star? If there is a car of any make, at any list price, a standard model of which can outclimb a standard model Star car, we want to stage a lull-climbing contest to determine the relative power of the two cars. Maybe one of us is mistaken but until we have proof of the contrary we will continue to claim for the Star car, supremacy in climbing hills. The same leadership in power that makes our car the star hill-climber also yields superior ability to pull through mud and sand and to get you there and back.

Star Sales PHONE 49 M HENRY Many Poultry Diseases Are Easily Preventable Though most poultry diseases are curable, they all require more time and work than the average farm flock is worth. Therefore, it may easily be seen that prevention should be the first and most Important rule in poultry sanitation and disease control. Roup, tuberculosis, chickenpox and fowl cholera are the most dangerous diseases affecting chickens. Most farm poultry houses lack a simple and effective method of ventllation. In many houses the fowls are overcrofrded, and when this is the case and there Is no good method of ventilation, the air is sure to become damp, and we all- know that It is in Just this sort of an atmosphere that roup thrives. To svoid this coriWitlou, see to it that the front of your poultry house has an open space that equals at least one-fourth of the floor space of the building. Add allow at least three square feet of floor spacs for each fowl. Poultry diseases spresd through the droppings of diseased birds. Most flock owners hsve dropping boards under the roosts, and if they haven't they should have by all means. If s part of the flock Is diseased, millions of germs may bo removed through the droppings instead of leaving them in the litter to contaminate the other birds. Much of the surplus moisture is also removed through the droppings. Keep the drinking water pure and dean, and sterilize the vessels every two or three days so long as disease Is present In the flock. A teaspoonful •f permanganate of potash may be dissolved in all the water it will make purple for drinking water whenever the birds seem In need of a tonic.
