the care of automobile tires.
The largo percentage of tire trou
.blo is due to lack of sufllcient air
' pressure. Pressure should bo main
1 tained at 20 pounds per Inch
!of tiro diameter. Thus, a four-inch
tire should have a pressure of 80
pounds. The boating of tho tiro
when in use. should not be dopondod
upon to increase tho air pressure
sufficiently if it is much less than
that required rt tin time of starting.
There is little danger of having
too high a' pressure un a new tire, as
every averaged sized tiro is te3tcd to
200 pounds before Doing sold.
.. If tires are old, Judgment must bo
used in maintaining tho normal
pressure. If two strands of tho fab
ric are loft, however, the pressure of
20 pounds per inch of diameter may
bo maintained.
Tires should always bo kept from
Uio direct rays of the sun when pos
sible. Every effort should bo made
to' fceep moisture from the fabric of
the rubbeiv Tiro dough is useful in
keeping moisture out of the cracks
and is not very expensive.

Foot and mouth disease, the epi
demic of Avhicli in many parts-of the
United States has caused such a sen
sation in the last' few weeks, is thus
described in tho Journal of the
American Medical Association:
"It is an acute, highly infectious
disease, which occur; chiefly In cat
tle, sheep, goats and swine, though
other animals such as the horse and i
dog, as well as certain wild animals,
are attacked also, and it may affect
human beings. In animals it is
characterized especially by tho erup
tion of vesicles in tho mouth and
on tho feet.
"In cattle the incubation period
averages from three to five days,
whereupon a moderate fever with
loss of appetite and other general
symptoms sets in. In two or three
days small bljsters appear on the lin
ing of the mouth, and now tho fever
usually subsides. At the same time
one or more feet may show tender
ness and swelling of the skin, soon
vescicles foVn here also and tho ani
mal goes lame.
"Usually the milk is altered and
reduced in quantity; blisters and ul
cers may form on tho udder. There
ib marked loss of weight, as tho ani
mals do not eat because of the pain.
In this, the ordinary form, In which
If new stock Is needed in the

Birds that will be largo enough In
tho spring to make satisfactory

now to show their nualitv. and there
are several good reasons for early
buying. The majority of breeders
prefer to mayo out their surplus
stock as early as possible, in oi'der to
give their own stock more room.
They make better prices on good
stuff now than they can afford to
make later in the season. Having
tho birds In your possession, you can
give them the winter care that Is es
sential to their best development, and
can rest assured that you are breed
ing from healthy stock.
Roots of all kinds can bo fed
cooked or raw, but they should be
chopped fine.
A light morning feed for the flock
is best because it keeps them hustl
ing through tho day.
That hens must be fed and fed
liberally if one expects eggs in large
quantities, especially winter eggs.

If you expect success in dairying,
follow tho methods of successful
dairymen. The question of good and
successful winter feeding and man
agement of milk cows has been set
tled to tho satisfaction of all dairy
raeji and farmers, who have experi
mented In many ways to learn what
is the best thing to do to produce milk
rich in butter fat, in the greatest
quantity, and at the lowest cost
price. This end has been reached
only when all. the conditions, viz:
good cows, comfortable stabling,
food in tho proper quantity and the
right variety, some exercise in fair
and pleasant weather in open clean
lots, and an abundance of drinking
water at regular intervals.
