us,:_wlth the weather forecasters pre- dicting many-hot days to come, it may:-not. be smlss for rne.to offer a few liilsestions for the guidance of motorists. for the next few months," saysdf. ._ Grady, sales manager of the Studebaker Corporation, Walker- viiie, »Canada.

"Lubrication is ,of course. one of

the chief causes for motor ills during the warm weather. This, however, is not an incurable summer malady _of the motor car-the remedy is sim- ple and only requires a little care and patience on the part of the owner, or driver of the car. - “A heavier grade of oil should be used _in the motor during the summer than is used in the winter. As the oil heats it becames thinner and loses some of its lubricating qualities. The various makes of oil come in several grades and any Studebaker dealer will be glad to advise you as to the particular grade to be used in Stude- baker cars. - o ~,

"The oil should be drained from the

oil pan every five or six hundred mil- es and replaced with fresh oil. At this time of the year it is a very good idea to drain off all the old oil in the oil pan, and then pour a gallon of kero- .sene in the oil filler pipe, after first replacing the drain plug. Then turn the engine over several tinfes, using the starting motor and keeping the ignition' switch in the "off" position. This operation will circulate the ker-

osene through the -system and remove all sedimen. After_tbis operation it is not sufficient merely to strain the kerosene from the oil pan. as each

little gough located beneath the con- nsctin rods would remain filled with keroseney which would delute the freshlsupply of oil. Remove the oil and 'dlp pans and .thoroughly cleanse of all,particles of sediment. At the same time clean _thc screen which sep arafesthe pump; -well from the reat of the reservoir.

"The,tendency for an engine to ov-

erheat on a particularly hot day makes it neceesarythat the cooling system should be working to’ full' efficiency. A- thorough cleansing of the water passages now, to remove any scale or sediment which may have collected, wlllf save the motorist considerable trouble _later on.

"To clean the cooling system, first

drain the water, then refill with hot water, preferably soft water.. and ruu the engine. Insert through the radi- ator filler pipe a teacupful of com- mon' Wishing soda. and, with the en- gine running, allow the soda solution to circulate for five minutes. Then` drain the system and radii with fresh water to-‘flush out and remove all traces of the soda solution. ' After this the radiator is ready for its sup- ply of fresh water for regular use.

_ RHUBARB RECIPES

Many houswlves object (and right-

ly sol to using rhubarb. owing to the great quantity of sugar it requires in cooking; but if the fruit is fully ripen- ed and the stalks freshly gathered this difficulty may he largely overcome by adding a small pinch of baking soda while it is rapidly boiling. -Do not add the sugar until the fruit is nearly cooked, and be sure to add very little water. as the rhubard is so juicy in itself that it will furnish almost en- ough moisture.

Almost every housekeeper is famil-

ler with stewed rhubarb; but even this homely dish may be transformed if a. few raisins, a little grated lemon :reel or bits of sliced orange are cook- sd with the fruit. The ad'ditlon of

-the raisins makes less sugar- necess-

ary.

Authorities differ from skinning

the rhubarb, many contending that 'f the stalks are young and delicate- ‘y tinged with pink this need not be ione;! but in any event,always cut the fiuit into small pieces and cook it thoroughly.

As examples of delicious ways of

ireparing this "first spring fruit" the following tested recipes are suggest- sd.

Rhubsrd Pot Pile

Half dll a.deep buttered dish with

lliced rheubarb and sprinkle with brown sugar. Add sufficient boiling vster to half cover. and cook covered ’n a slow oven until tender. Make t crust for baking powder biscuits. ising two parts whole wheat flour and me part whept. Roll out one inch ihick, lay over the rhubarb and cook. ibout thirty minutes in a hot oven. Serve with maple syrup.

Old-Fashioned Rhubard Frlttsrs

This is an old coloiilal recipe, and

`t is very good. Beat lightly two aggs and add one cupful of milk. Mix .ogether two cupfuls of whole wheat ‘lour, one cupful of wheat flour, two iablespoonful of sugar, half a tea- ipoonful of salt and two rounding easpoonful of baking powder. Stir nto this the egg and milk mixture .ind add one cupful and a half of fine- y chopped rhubarb. two tablespoons- 'ul of melted oleo, and more milk if iecessary to make a drop batter. Fry n deep hot fat until crisp and brown 'oil in grated maple sugar. _

Delicious Dessert

Press sufficient cooked and sweet-

med rhubarb through a sieve to nakc a cupful and a half-of thick uuree. Whip two eggs until iight and lry, add half a cupful (measured iefore whipping) of thick cream beat- in solid,and' gradually beat in the rhu- ranb puree. Add additional powdered :ugar is necessary. and fill into slend- -r glasses that have been lined with- lalved lady fingers. 'Prepare the whip ust before serving. so that the cake viii remain crisp. V

POTATO PO8BiBiLiTIE8

A potato may. by properly drying off inter boiling. be brought to a state of ielicious ‘meallness far. far different ‘rom the soggy lump so often offered. ‘lven the baked potato becomes s lner thing lf. before serving.. .it is isld in atowel and carefully pinched. Phe skin must not be broken. but the lotato must be made all soft so that when it is broken open at the ta-ble it 'oils out quite soft and' mealy. The flavoring of potato ls another bing lnwhich few cooks achieve suc- ess. Yet a pinch of sugar and a 'craping of nutmeg will glv( a dell- -acy that is very pleasurable to the relate, but not strong enough so that 'ou can tell why the dish tastes so veil.

GROWiNG LATE MUTURING CORN

Advisable to “Put the Corn by" a Lit- tlc Earlier than Usual.

The coin crop in Ontario was zi fall-

ure in 1917 so fur as seed production 'vas concerned. in the more northerly of the corn producing states to the routh-west ot' us. whence we usually lraw a. large proporilou of our seed ~orn. the crop was abundant, but un- timely rztlns und early autumn fronts combined to render mos: of ii uufll for seed .

ln certain ol' the more easterly of

the northern statch the varieties we nrefer did mature fairly well. hu as all seed of this description is needed in the nortliorn tif-r of corn states io on able them in grow corn fm' grain this v'oar. the Uuliod States War 'l`rudo Board' has prohibited the export of my part of this crcv. This uuhuppy combination of cirtjunislaiuvcs has ro- suited in tho-suupply of seed corn of the varieties best suite-.fl for cnsllagn production in Canaria lining practic- illy nit.

The Seed Stocks (`.ommottcc of the

United States has, however, agreed to permit the export of n rousldernble quantity of seed corn of the late var 'etics grown in or south of Kansas. Vlissouri, Tennessee und Vlrglui:1,sucli ls Red Cob #E-nsiiage,Man1inot|1 Soulb- srn White and Fodder Lenmilig.

These late varieties. while not

llkcly to grow into tho crops suited to ‘he making ofthe very best kind ol' en- lilage, may he expected to give fairly satisfactory results as fo quality and to be entirely up to expectations or hopes where `quantity or yield per zcre is concerned. This. of course. is conditional on handling the crop in the way' best suited to the production of 'good ensilage from such large grow- ing. late-maturing sorts.

When any choice may be exercised

in locating tho crov. high. dry' light soils. fnlrly rich in humus, had hotter be selected. Using a clover sod with mixed barnyarfl manure nt iho rate ol' 15 to 20 ions to the acre plowed under with a shallow furrow (4 io 1,9) inches incl immediately rolled and double dlacod, all u few days before plauilnr will courluce greatly io, if uni emuirc success.

Work the nlnd up thoroughly' and

plant as soon as snll ls warm nnri mel- low. Corn nf this type should bn sown 1s' early ns psnible. but under no olr 'zumstanccs before ibn soil is wnll warmed up. Plant in bills three incl sport each way. 4 io 6 kernels io thc hill. or i nrows three feel and' aliall inches apart in tho _row. As a rule.- plant on the iiai. but where soil is rather heavy or not partlciiiarly well drained. throwing up into low ridges will help warm things up and get the crop off io it little better start. To-if the seed before planting-.

it is essential to provide such r-on

ditlons as will compel rapid growth in the early stages. lf slow in mining up. running over the fluid with the tilting liarrow or a light drag wil hnlp. Pre quent cultivation. thorough hocing and even slight billing will. all help speed up growth in tho oary stages.

Unless the season is very' dry or the

held vcry woody; it is usually advis- able to "put the corn by" at s little earlier dale in the case of these large varieties than where the smaller. ear- lier maturing sorts are used. Stop- ping the cultivating somewhat early has the effect of hastenlng maturity and will usually result in a‘ralher het- ter duality of ensllage. although the weight of the crop going into the silo, will be relatively r_ed'.|_ced. Thlc com should be allowed to stand as ate as possible. A slight touch of frost will not vsry lsjuriousiy affect the feed- ing value and will quite possibly im- prove the keeping qualities of the on-

(Experimental Farm Note)

One of the greatest problems In bee

keeping today is the control of swarm- ing. lt is natural for u strong colony of bees fo swarm in curly summer. when honey is coming in. but the breaking up of the colony cuts down the honey yield; whilewatobing for and hiving swarms fakes a great deal of file bee-kceper5s`tinie, and the swarm may escape notice und fly a- way.

The methods oi' controlling swarm-

ing that have been tested at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, fail under tlircc lieuds.

(1) General measures. Partly shad-

ing the npiary; providing u large cn- tranco with deep space between combs and floor; giving plenty oi' room in the brood chamber and supers; and young queens. These measures. while vnlu- able. liuvc bccn found insufficient. in themselves to prevent the hoes from raising queens in preparation for swarming. _

(2) Munipulutious to prevent more

than one swnrui. The quccn's wings are clipped. preferably during fruit- bloom. und when at prime swarm la- shes und is siil_l_i_u_”t_li_fi__nir. the queen is picked up from the ground und placed in a cage. and the hive is re- moved fo u new stand. A new hive containing the caged queen is then placed on the old stand to receive the returning swarm, the queen being lib- erated later. The flcld bees join lim 's\\'al'm, leaving the parent hive so much weukcnefl fllui ii. is not likely to swarm again, Tn niake uvrtuln of this, however. ille pzlruni. lilvv may lu- uu~rol_v furxu-tl around and uni rc- umveil to ilu- illstalni sinud until ilvo iays litter.

swarming altogether.

When coal lar dips are used thu sheep should be dipped uguln in ten days, as the dip kills the ticks. but does not kill ‘hc pupue from which the ticks are prolluccd. When a poisonous dip is used, thai. is at dip containing arsenic n' sonic uilwr poison, one dipping is znmiirll.

Sore slluillders ure very prevalent

at this time. Prevention is better than cure, und care should bc taken to acc that thc collar fits snugly. The sweat on the collar should be scraped :md wiped off every night when the (cum conivs in. und the shoulders :-'hould bo wusbod oil' with cold water or u damp cloth.

THE COST OF' MUTTON PRODUC- TION.

(Experimental Farm Note.)

The scarcity of wool and meat has

given u. new impetus to the sheep breeding industry in Canada and once it be- comes agaln firmly established as a common farm lndustry and tba bene- fits coming from it are fully recog- nized, tho- wrilcr feels confldent.that ll will not ag.|ln go into decline.

This clas sof stock. while enjoying

to the full the benefit of the increased high prices of the products produced, is probably the one which has been affected the least by increased cost of production. common to the products from other cla..-ses of stock. This is due to the fact that the feed con- sumed consists largely of home grown roughages and grains thus eliminat- ing. to a large extent. the purchase of high priced concentrates. It is also flue, in part, to the fact that very little labour is required to handle a flock so that the increased price of labour has not the same effect.

To arrive at the I--lst of mutton pro-

-lucflon many factors must be tallen into consideration. It may be safe- ly considered that the value actmiing from the manure produced and weeds _lcstroyed fully offsets the labour ex- uenderl. From tho records of the breeding and feeding work at the Central Experimental Farm. the rs- mainlng factors in the cost of pro- rluctlou of our old mutton may be ta- bulated as followaz-

Cost of feed maintaining owe

from weaning of one lamb to weaning of next .. $5.00

Interest on value of ewe ($3.-

00 nt 6 per cent.) $1.80

Service charges and mainte-

nance of ram .36

Cost -if ‘-cdlny, lamb from

w-~ wi- ~ fill fnislling at one yr.‘f‘|<l ._ 6._’I2

$13.87

Wool from ewe (7 pounds at '

600 perlb.) .. 4.20

Cost of 120 pohnflr. mutton ._ 9.67 Value of 100 pounds mutton

Spring 191? . 17.75

Cost of 100 pounds mutton .. 8.06

Profit per 100 pounds 8 9.69

This is a profit of $11.63 per lamb

if bu one lamb is raised per owe.

The above figures are based on an

increase of one lamb per owe. Whore two lambs wre raisd practically the same results in weight may be ex~ pected ot the end of the year. fn such a case the first three items in the cost would be split between the two thus reducing the ‘cost to $5.09 ocr hundredwsight and increasing the profit to $12.66 per hundredweight.

The foregoing estimates are exclu-

sive of overhead rimrges or. deprecia- tion but these items may well be overlooked ss they are almost negli- gible in sheep raising owing to the tact that so little is required in buildings or equipment. Moreover the estimates are conservative and though they show a return of at least 38.8 per cent. on the investment of $30.00 per owe. the same may be looked for under Eastern conditions while under Western conditions even' :renter dividends may be realised.
