nurohoatus NOTES!
Notcrlug Department, The Sentinel—
Wlll you kindly answer this in your
next. issue! The rear axle bearing on
my car has run dry and cut into the
axle about 1-16 of an inch. and l
I'OIH like to have you tell me how i
can solder babbitt metal in the axle?
What kind of add solder and W
mull-as. Howcanlsoldar the
crank case? It is almunium.
in flour injurious to rubber? i use
flour in my tires to prevent the tube
from sticking to the casing and have
found it as good as anything.
I am thinking of porting my motor-
cycle engine. will it have as much
power running slow as before? Will
it take any more oil? It goes fortr-
tito miles per hour. How much fast-
er will it go when ported? M. ii.
if you are not familiar with pouring
bubbitt metal it would not be adVis—
able for you to attcmpt this. The re—
sult will not be satisfactory. It would
be more advisable to forward the part
needing repair to some responsible re-
pair shop and have the wont done.
lLtbbitt metal may be purchased at
most any hardware store, but, as stat.
oi before, it is doubtful whether you
can successfully do this work unless
) on are very much experienced
Likewise, it is a very difficult mat-
ter to repair crank case without weld»
ing. The only satisfactory method
would he to have it welded. This also
can he done at most any responsible
repair shop.
Flour when wet will cake and prove
injurious to the tube. Soapstone is
much better to use.
It is a ditilcult matter to state
whether the experiment you contem-
plate with your motorcycle will prove
beneficial or not. This may be deter-
mined only by trying. Perhaps it
would be advisable for you to com-
municate with the manufacturer of
the machine for some definite advice.
if in the later models of the ma»
chine you are using the manufacturer
has adapted this method of increasing
the power, perhaps you would be war-
ranted in experimenting. titherwiee
your experiment may prove without
benefit and tinticccssnrily expensive.
Motoring Department. The Sentinel—-
Please advise me how to ‘gear down'
a shaft- driven car. Will it be acct-:-
my to install new crown and pinion
gears 1‘ A READER
Would advise taking up this matter
\tiill the manufacturers of your car.
It will undoubtedly be necessary to rc-
Ill'rlt‘t‘ both the pinion gear and crown
gear. The setting of these gears
should be dom- liy an expert. A mis-
udjustment will cause a humming or
growling and possibly strip the gears.

fourteen to sixteen miles per gallon

Would an auxilhry air valve for
high speeds improve the mileage?
W. L
Considering the low grade of fuel of
today fourteen to slate-n miles per
gallon of gasoline is not so very bad.
and if the car is used in hilly country
may be considered good.
liard starting in cold weather is to
be expected.
The auxiliary air valve might in-
crease the mileage, but would prob-
ably increase difficulty in starting in
cold weather.

The radiator tubes in front of the
radiator burst. Can they be repaired
by soldering? R. P.
it is mnsible to have radiator tubes
repaired. Would advise having work
done by a competent radiator repair-
man.

tions for such installation and the

it is posaible to install a storage
battery in the manner you mention,
but it is not advisable. By doing this
the efficiency of the electric generat-
ing system will be reduced. it is not

Motoring Department, The Sentinel
Will you inform me through the
columns of your paper what tire clear-
ance of pistons should be (in thou-
sands of an inch) on new auto motor
with 4-inch bore and l 12-inch stroke?
.._..aDER
The clearance is determined to a
large extent by the design of the mo
tor, material used iii the pistons and
also by the cooling system emplolcd
Ordinarily, in the 4-inch bore motor
the clearance would be approximately
H.000 of an inch. Usually the clear-
ance at the t0p of the piston is slight-
ly greater than that at the middle or
bottom. This additional cleaftince is
fiKlIl‘NI to allow for increased expan-
sion at the top due to the excessive
heat at this point.

there is a desire to encourage the ub'e
of good breeding stock and to eliiu

fast is to make the ranges as be to

is done partly by making mrimt- ts
and studios to find out to wi: l ext. .tt
new methods will pay.
An example is a series of experi-
ments covering the use of sheds and
small fenced pastures during lambln:
time which, Forest officers say. has
practically demonstrated the value of
this method in increasing the number
of lambs saved. Although the ranges
on most of the Forests are said to be
practically stocked to the limit, the
experts believe it is possible to in-
crease the output of the ranges "ub-
substantially through Improved ' th-
ods of utilisation. One of the 061
twinning of these methods is it In
tereaae. the avorage weight of the ani-
mals turned off by improving the
grade of stock on the ranges. The
thoroughbred eats no more grass than
the scrub. weighs more pounds when
fat. and sells for a higher price. with-
out putting any additional burden on
the range itself.
That livestock leaves tbs National
Forest range in excellent condition is
indicated by several instances report-
ed by Forest officers during the sea-
ton of 1915. Sheepmen using the lie?-
den National Forest range In Colora-
do agreed at a recent meeting that
their 19l5 lambs averaged fully ten
pounds per head above the average of
ten years ago, which they attributed
entirely to the results of range conser-
mtion. or two large shipments. of
laniha from the Wyoming National
Forest. one averaged eighty and the
other «tiny-four pounds per head on
tho scales at Omaha. The avenge
weight of 50.000 head of April and
May lambs from the Madison Forest
in Montana. after being shrunk for 12
hours. was 75.7 pounds each. An er-
cn more surprising result Is reported
from the llcat‘erht-ad Forest. also in
Montana. From a hand of 900 ewes
grazed on this Forest, the owner rais~
cd ind shipped Rail lambs which aver-
aged 9". pounds pcr head aft r being
