Cave Scyphers, Sr,, and his son, Davd, Jr., know the value of keeping
accurate records—also the value of keeping DEKALB Layers. Above is
shown the egg production and livability record of 6230 DEKALB birds
housed June 1,1963.
• These DEKALB birds laid 273 eggs per hen housed in 365 days after 50%',
production was reached. After 429 days, hen housed production was 302 eggs,'
[ortality for the period was only 0.58% permonth.Seeredlinesonchartabove.
I Dave, Jr., says:—"This is definitely the most outstanding flock of layers
fwe have had on our farm. Egg size and egg quality was excellent througljgut
[this period.”

Here li what they found:
Most of the heat from a
spark plug is dissipated
through the plug’s shell body,
not through the gasket itself.
Compression of the s(park
plug gasket, therefore, serves
primarily to effect and main
tain a good surface contact
between the cylinder head
threads and the spark plug
threads.
To effect and maintain such
a seal, the Champion spark
plug needs only to be seated
finger tight, then tightened
about Vz additional turn
with a suitable wrench.
To support this spark plug
installation recommendation,
they offer the comparative
results of a typical in-the
field spark plug installation,
using both the hand-and
wrench tightening technique
and the torque-wrench-tight
ening 'technique. Spark plug
