START MOTOR IN
SEVERE WEATHER
Brief Instructions Given to Inex-
perienced Drivers to Sim-
plify Operation.
QUICK RESULTS GUARANTEED
In First Place Release Emergency
Brake Lever as Far at It Will Go
—Heat Intake Manifold by
Pouring on Hot Water.
To Inexperienced drivers, starting a
wld motor after It has been standing
in extreme cold is quite a problem, hut
the following brief instructions will
simplify the operation and guarantee
quick results. The most Important con
niderution to cold weather starting is
to relieve the starting motor and stor
age buttery of undue strain. In low
temperatures the oil becomes congealed
«nd carburet ion is not so efficient to
overcome these difficulties by merely
grinding away at the starter Is not at
all practical.
Iu the first place, during very cold
weather, when the car is left in an un-
heated garage for the night or Is stiinn
liig on the street for any considerable
length of time, release the emergency
brake lever ns far as It will go after
the motor Is shut off. This engages the
clutch, bringing the clutch plates to-
gether and excluding oil which would
otherwise flow between the plates and
congeal. Then, Just before starting the
motor, by pulling the emergency lever
the plates are separated and can turn
freely without the heavy drag of stiff
oil between them.
To start the motor, pull out the
choke and turn the motor over four or
five times with the starter before turn
Ing on the Ignition switch. After this
has been done, turn on the Ignition, re-
lease the choke and the motor will
start readily. Thus the battery Is re
Moved of the heavy duty of turning the
motor over and over again before It
fires.
In ease the weather Is so cold that
the above method does not succeed, the
Intake manifold should he heated by
pouring boiling hot water over It. It
Is best to have an assistant pour the
water on the manifold while you are
in the driver’s seat In order that the
starter may be used ns soon as the
manifold Is heated—otherwise the
manifold may become cold again by
the time you have reached Hie driv-
er's seat and are In a position to use
the starter. It is not very often that
this method will he required, hut It
Is a sure fire program when actually
necessary.
In nil cases, retard the spark lever
all the way when starting the motor.
With the spark advanced, the motor
Is very Ruble to “kick".

DRIVERS LOOK BOTH
WAYS AT CROSSINGS
Many Accidents Happen Because
of Carelessness.
There la No Virtue In Being Careful
Just Once—Get the Safety Habit
and It Will Stick—Trains
Run at All Times.
Tests 'made at railway crossings
show that less than 10 per cent of
motor drivers look both ways before
crossing railroad tracks. Many acci-
dents have happened on double track
railways, because the man at the
steering wheel, after waiting to allow
a train to puss, fulled to see a train
coining from the opposite direction
and drove onto the tracks just In time
to get caught by It. Such a driver
does not make good use of his eyes,
and so pays the penalty for his Inat-
tention.
It is not n difficult matter to drive
safely across the tracks every time.
There is no virtue in being careful
Just once in a while. (Jet the safety
habit, which, when once acquired, will
stick like a burr.
If you live in the vicinity of » single
track railroad, where i nly a few trains
are run, do not allow the thought to
enter your head that no train Is due
at that time. Sometimes a train runs
late, and don’t forget that an occa-
sional extra Is run over the track.
The driver who sees a train coming,
near enough to raise any doubt about
his ability to cross ahead of It, will,
if he remembers that his life is worth
a billion times more than his farm, or
hank account, shut off, set the brakes,
and stop right there. Better to shut
off the gas than to run the risk of hav-
ing your breath shut off,
often a driver has a sudden whim
to try to beat his way across. If lie
try, says the United States Depart-
ment «f Agriculture in a recent Farm-
ers' Bulletin, 1203, “Breed of Swine,”
by K Z. Russell. The bulletin, which
is well Illustrated with photographs
of specimens of all the leading breeds
and of some minor ones, gives a brief
history of the origin of all the breeds
now found In the United States, de-
scriptions of their characteristics, and
names of the record associations, with
names and addresses of the secre-
taries.

alleged to give it unusual fertilizing
powers but tests have not substan-
tiated these claims. An English In-
vestigator u few years ago reported
good results with tlie use of "bucler-
Ized” peat, hut experience in tills coun-
try bus not supported his theory. No
laboratory process for the “buctertza-
tion" of peat bus been discovered
which materially Improves it for fer-
tilizer.
The peat or "humus” that lias been
marketed in this country as a fertilizer
or plant stimulant has siiown a de-
cided lack of uniformity, but tins Is to
he expected when it is known that
peut deposits are the slow accumula-
tion of layers of plant material of dif-
ferent kinds. The rather high per-
centage of nitrogen occasionally found
in peut and muck is due not to the
i presence of available nitrogen, but the
iiccumulution of nitrogenous material
•hut is not available for the use of
I plants, the more soluble substances
having been lost.
! Some kinds of peat are very useful
' for stable litter and for composting.
While peat is too bulky and too poor
in available plant food to serve as a
I substitute for manure or mineral fer-
tilizers, certain kinds of peat uppeur
to he ouitahle in t^je growing of spe-
cialized crops or as potting soil in
greenhouses. In the manufacture of
mixed fertilizers the use of peat as a
conditioner, as well as u filler, appears
to have been satisfactory to the mix-
er. Several varieties of pent and muck
soil are farmed, frequently showing
high productivity for many kinds of
truck crops or as grass land. Many
peat deposits, however, are agricul-
turally unsatisfactory and some peats
contain Rubstunces distinctly injurious
to plants.
