—and Hands Clean 
W ITHOUT taking the plug apart, in a fraction of 
the time it used to take to^a//-clean your spark 
plugs, you can now get them really clean without even 
soiling your hands. 
1 
Just half fill the tube of the cleaner 
with gasoline, screw the plug in the socket 
at the top and give it a vigorous shaking. 
The gasoline softens the carbon and the 
little flying needles pick it off in small par¬ 
ticles and leave the plug cleaner than you 
could get it in the old laborious way.

weryone has a good garden and cellar 
filled with good things to eat, very like 
‘‘the good old times.’^ The entire popu¬ 
lation is engaged in the shops, and for 
years has given up gardens and such 
things and lived on canned goods out of 
the stores. I delivered a box of windfall 
apples at one house and the good house¬ 
wife showed me the array of things that 
she had put up herself, almost for the 
first time in her life Almost everything 
bad been raised on the little place, of less 
than one-half acre. Several hundred pigs, 
bought last Spring by a town committee 
and sold at cost to the townspeople, are 
awaiting the advent of steady cold 
weather with satisfaction to their owners. 
Empty pork barrels begin to appear. 
Taking my own neighborhood as an ex¬ 
ample, my judgmment is that it has been 
a long, long time since our villagers have 
been as liberally supplied with almost 
everything except mutton, beef, and some 
poultry. E. ir. c.

Fall work. Cutting corn was very back¬ 
ward and is a very poor crop. Potatoes 
are just being dug; some have been frost¬ 
ed, and are not yielding very well. Beans 
are the worst crop we have; some pieces 
will not be harve.sted—too poor. Many 
will go out of the bean business. Thrash¬ 
ing is very late; grain is yielding well,' 
large amount of straw. Hay market good..
