Henry, president of the American Automobile association, recently asked a jury of seven nationally known traf- fic experts, “Their replies were strikingly sim- flar,” declared Fred H. Caley, secre- tary of the Cleveland Automobile club. in making public an analysis of their opinions, “for these seven men were entirely in accord on six major points of good driving.” They are: Six Major Points. driver must have a self-control at all 1—The high degree of times, 2-The tains his car in such responds easily and every command. 3—The good driver regulates his speed in accordance with the condi- tions of the road on which he is trav- eling and never exceeds a rate of speed above which he cannot stop within the “clear course ahead.” ror} EOOG main- shape that it quickly to his good driver always 4—The good driver invariably exer. clses due regard for the rights of others to enjoy safety on the road, 5—The good driver recognizes his responsibility as a protector or guard. fan of the safety of pedestrians and by using caution at all times will eliminate, so far as possible, accidents due to the carelessness of others. Keeps Mind on Wheel, 6-—The good driver keeps his mind on what he is doing: Is always watch- ful and alert, In announcing the results of this questionnaire, Mr. Caley remarked that it Is more necessary to Instill within motorists a realization of their responsibility in making the highways gafe than it is to enact additional re- strictive legislation, Wise Pa Parks Ma With Babies on Rear Seat It's a wise father who arrives ui his destination with the original number of children that filled up the family flivver when the trip started. Bill Brown, Friend Wife and their four youngsters, reinforced by enough lunch to feed a young army, left for an outing last Sundsy. Pa and ma gat in the front seat and the little Brownies occupied the rear. They had gone about a mile when Baby Bob- by was reported to be among the miss. ing. The boy had opened the door and fallen out of the machine. Luck- fly, he wasn't injured, either by the fall or other automobiles, having land- ed in a pool where he was enjoying himself when the family located him. Brown thus learned one of the lessons which should be remembered by fam- ily men who go on auto trips, I. e, that it is better to have Friend Wife a back-seat driver than to be minus & baby. Sneeze Alibi Frees Man Whose Car Killed a Girl Although he confessed he was driv- ing at the rate of 40 miles an hour when the crash took place, a salesman was exonerated by a coroner's jury which accepted his defense that a vio- lent sneeze caused the accident In which his woman companion was killed. It was agreed that he lost con- trol of the car when he suddenly sneezed but the jury apparently over. looked the violation of the speeding ordinance. Preventable accidents of the above type emphasize the fact that speed is a contributing cause of accidents. A man who is driving through city streets at the rate of 40 miles an hour may think he has his machine under perfect control, but it is always the unexpected circumstances that cause unusual accidents. A dozen things may ‘cause you to lose control and re sult in death or severe Injury, . The Wonderful Car I have a car.

Remove Automobiles and Trucks From Mudholes Much time and energy ate wasted by motorists in trying to remove &u tomobiles and trucks from mudholes or ruts, especially when the automo bile or truck carries a heavy load One truck operator found that this can easily be done by means of two cleated boards of suitable length and width, as shown, placed at the width of each rear wheel. The other end of the board is raised to about the same height as the rear axle, and a chain Cleated Boards Effectively Help the Truck Driver Out of a Mudhole. tied to the raised end and the rear axle. The board should be forced un der the front part of the rear wheel to get the necessary traction. When the roads are exceedingly muddy, o second type of board, as shown here, which has a hinged plece to prevent the wheel from slipping off again after it is once on, will be found more serviceable. The boards can be con venlently carried on boards. ~—A. Bereskin, Winnipeg, Can. in the Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Necessity Arises Because Large Consuming Centers Are Widely Separated. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) Standard grades of poultry products understood and applicable in all parts of the country are needed in the United States, asserted Rob R. Slo- eum of the United States Department of Agriculture, before the World's Poultry congress at Ottawa, Canada, This necessity arises because of lm- portant areas of production and the largest consuming centers are widely separated, The United States De- partment of Agriculture hag studied this problem in its relation to eggs and has promulgated a set of stand- ards of quality applicable to individ- ual eggs, the quality factors being the condition of shell, yolk, germ and size and condition of alr cell. Standards as Basis. With these standards as a basis, sald Mr. Slocum, the department formu- lated three sets of egg grades: Buy- ing grades, wholesale grades, and re- tail grades for use gt country buying points, in wholesale channels, and in retail channels of trade. A study of standards and grades for live and dressed poultry has been started with a view to issuing them in the near future in tentative form. For maintaining a standard uniform quality in different markets and for settling disputes concerning grades, the department has established in- spection facilities. permissive, not compulsory.

(Prepared by the United Blutes Department of Agriculture.) To determine whether dried beet pulp, green oats and peas, pumpkins, carrots, sugar beets, rape, soy beans and kale when fed to dairy cows ime part undesirable flavors and odors to the milk, and to ascertain the best methods of feeding such crops and handling the milk, the Unlted States Department of Agriculture has con ducted feeding tests at its experiment farm at Beltsville, Md. The cows selected for the investiga- tions were giving milk relatively free frora abnormal flavors and odors when fed a basic hay and graln ration, and varied in stage of lactation from those fresh to those nearing end of lacta- tion perlod. Besides the succulent feed the anl- mals recetved, in proportion to milk produced, varying quantities of the following grain mixture: 100 pounds each of hominy feed, bran and oats and 50 pounds each of cottonseed meal and linseed meal. In addition they were given all the alfalfa hay they would readily consume, The cows were divided into groups of four each, and interchanged at intervals of four days. Dried beet pulp soaked and fed wet one hour before milking In quantities up to 30 pounds produced but a slight- ly abnormal flavor and odor In the milk. The results followed the feed. ing of a like quantity of green oats and peas one hour before and after milking. joth kale and rape fed In similar quantities on hour prior to milking produced a decidedly abnor mal flavor and odor In the milk, but had a negligible effect when fed after ward. Soy beans fed one hour before milking tended to improve the flavor and odor of the milk Further details of the experiments are given In Technical Balletin No, 0.7, “Effect of Some Succulent Feeds on the Flavor of which may be request to copy obtained upon the Department of Agriculture, Washington, Origin of Word Chevon Is Clearly Explained An interesting interview had with B.

Cutting Canada Thistle Cutting Canada thistle by phases of the moon, signs of the zodiac, on cer- the appearance of sun spots, not eradicate the pest, but belief in these signs sometimes has the practi cut before seeding, is the opinion of A. A. Hansen of the Purdue extension staff. The most valuable sign by which to cut the pestiferous thistle is found In the flowering head. If the spiny nul gance is cut as soon as the heads be gin to show purple, the production of seeds is usually prevented and the plant will spread but slowly. The principal means by which Canada thistles spread is the wind-distributed seeds which are frequently blown con- siderable distances. A single seed may thus start a new patch several hun dred feet from the parent plant. Silage Should Be Used With Other Roughages Silage is relished by all kinds of farm animals and is a reasonably safe feed for any except males kept for breeding purposes, or horses at heavy labor. However, best results are not secured by feeding only silage, but it ghould be used in connection with oth. er roughage and grain in proportions varying with the kind and condition of animals as well as the end one In tends to effect through feeding” That a feed is cheap and plentiful is no rea son for wasting it, and true economy in feeding is only to be found where there is a definite purpose in view, Neglected Opportunity Large areas of land in almost every gection of the country are, or should pe, in permanent pasture, The fact that much land which is in pasture was once covered with bluegrass and white clover and Is now growing little put weeds and inferior grasses is evi. dence enough of declining fertility and esplodes the theory that pasture land automatically maintains its fel tility.
