You Auto Know That a simple test of whether the carburetor 1s properly ad- justed is to run for a short dis- tance—say a quarter of a mile— with the throttle practically closed, Then, picking a space where the roadway Is clear, step sharply upon the accelerator, thus opening the throttle wide. If the car speeds up smoothly and rapidly, there is nothing wrong with the earburetor., But if the pick-up is slow, this Is an indication that the mixture of gasoline and air is too rich, If the engine splutters, spits und back-fires, the mixture Is too lean—a condition which ean be temporarily remedied by the use of the “choker” or priming lever on the dashboard. In either case, it Is advisable to have the car buretor adjusted gs soon Ag Pos- gible, for, until this is done, the car will not develop the power which it should. This adjust. ment, however, should be han- dled by an expert, for “monkey- ing the carbliretor” has probably been the cause of more trouble than any single plece of amateur experi CAR WASHING IS IMPORTANT TASK Mud Should Never Be Allowed to Remain Over Night as It Is Injurious to Varnish, USE PLAIN EVERY-DAY WATER Guard Against Excessive Use of Soap and Let Hood Alone Until It Has Cooled—Go Over Entire Body With Hose and Sponge.

As a re was quite largely local, and frequently there was wide variation in prices of- fered in different localities, With the coming of the hay press, it was possible to put hay Into bales which were easily handled, greatly re ducing the space required for a given amount of hay, and making Wt possible to transport hay for long distances at costs which were not prohibitive. A recent Investigation shows that In some states ap many as tem per cent, or more, of the farms are equipped with hay-balers and in many cases the hay that is stored and used on the farm is baled because of the increased economy in storage and the cob venienee in handling. * FIND NEW RACES OF SKUNKS Two Hitherto Unrecognized Types Have Been Described by the Biological Survey. Two hitherto unrecognized peo graphic races of skunks of the genus Conepatus, the hog-nosed type, ‘have been described by the biological sur vey of the United States Department of Agriculture. This general Kind of skunk ranges for the most part from southern South America north to northernmost limits. One of the two pow forms, known as the Arizona hog-nosed skunk, is found in southern New Mexico and Arizona: the other, the Nelson hog-nosed skunk, Is native te Mexico, The fur of the hognosed skunk Is not go valuable as that of the ordinary black skunk owing to the poorer tex- ture and to the fat that the tall and much of the back mre white.
