Chances aie, an excessively wide gap is a good indication the plug is due for leplacement. If the gap is moie than .001 inch over specifications, and has been in use for less than 100 hams, the trouble ma> he due to excessive electrode ei osion, a lesult of using plugs that aie too “hot” foi the engine, or tiom overadvanced ignition timing. Tins tiouble also could he caused bv an improper gap setting at the time the plugs vvete ongmally installed Too wide a gap setting at the electrodes may cause a miss while the engine is nu dei load. If the electrodes are spaced Proper feeding of the dry cow is the most important single factor af fecting herd health, longevity, and a sustained high level of milk produc-1 tion. In 60 days, while the cow is dry. Pioneer Dry and Freshening feed will repair the body from the previous lactation, build a reserve of body,| | condition for the next lactation, and develop a stronger calf.

A final word from the eng ineer ... Make sine you use a file to restoie sharp edges to the sparking surfaces of the electiodes Spark plugs which have been cleaned and their electiodes filed require con sideiably less sparking voltage than plugs which are simply cleaned and reinstalled in the engine without filing of the electrodes. Enforce the rule of no extra riders on farm machinery. Small children are often in jured by machinery in drive ways and work areas. Keep them out of these areas unless closely supervised. r 0] wrai , ! j„
