Cut Out the Cut-Out.

An expert, automobilist recently said to the writer that the cut-out on cars, by which the exhaust gases are allowed to escape direct into the open airj without first pass ing into the muffler has become one of the most used —and abused accessories of the car. Its abuse has become so flagrant that many towns and cities have enacted ordinances prohibiting its use and it is looked upon as one devise that is setting at naught all the efforts of the designer and builders toward the production of the silent car; In Michigan it is noticed that the smooth, careful driver of a modern up-to-date car never uses the cutout, for the simple reason that back-pressure does not dimish the power of his motor and the further fact that he does not want to annoy the people with a nerve racking noise. The driver who knows how to handle a car as It should be handled very seldom uses a cut-out. The theory that it is necessary to work the i| cut-out in order to keep an engine working, is not true in the good autos, nor with the good engines. They are used mostly by the smart alecks and the noisy boisterous drivers.—Exchange.

“SAFETY FIRST”

Is the Rule of th© Monon Route— A Proud Record. To all officers and employes: In the unfortunate accident at. Sand Pit on June Bth last a mail clerk employed on train Xo. 5 was killed as the result of the collision of that train with Xo. 8. The Chief --Inspector of Safety Appliances of the Interstate Commence Commission lias reported officially after investigation, that "This accident was caused by the engine man of train Xo. 5 temporarily overlooking train order Xo. 13 1 and failing to have his engine under such control as to enable him to bring it to a slop before passing the switch leading to the Side track at Sand Pit." This accident broke the proud record which this company had until then maintained since its organization, for the records show that during a period of over nineteen years not a single passenger has been killed on the Monon as the result of a train accident. Your attention is called to this in order to stimulate you to renewed care and vigilance iln handling trains, so that the Monon may continue to justify the confidence of the traveling public in its reputation for .safety, than which nothing is of more importance. Remember always that the rule is “Safety First.”

POULTRY NOTES

Never wash eggs. The hen must have a variety tc lay well. Feed gives small returns when given to a lousy hen. The egg should be perfect in shape, with fresh, clean appearance. The fee'l is the first thing to be considered if one is to obtain fertile eggs. Give ample feed and see that every hen has plenty, but see that she works hard for it. The flesh of the guinea is white and tender and they are often served in city restaurants as game birds. There Is money in poultry culture, as there is in gold ore, but either takes science and labor for its extraction. It is a difficult matter to keep lice and mites from attacking and multiplying on the sitting hen. These peats won’t germinate and grow fat to wood and metal. , Read The Democrat for news.
