WOMEN’S WANTS 
Please advise me as to the best method of 
truing up grindstones that are out of round.— 
(E. A. G., New York. 
T HERE are special tools made which 
are used in truing up grindstones, 
but if you have an old file I think you 
can make it work practically as well 
with a little patience. If your grind¬ 
stone is badly out of round, it may take 
quite a little work to bring it back into 
shape, and even then it may not give 
you real satisfaction. A grindstone 
wears out of round because one side of 
the stone is softer than the other. Some¬ 
times it may be that the stone is natu¬ 
rally that way, but often they become so 
from having been left standing out of 
doors, exposed to sun and rain. The 
side that is uppermost will wear away 
the fastest, and of course it does not 
take very much action to unbalance the 
wheel. 
Now, to true up your stone, take 
your old file, place it firmly against the 
frame of the grindstone, and then turn 
the stone, letting the end of the file 
scrape off small portions of the wheel. 
As said above, it may be a tedious and 
troublesome job, but this method will 
work. 
any little hole or crack in the bag. 
New paper flour sacks are very good 
to put the hams in. If they are tied 
tight enough to keep the beetles out, 
they will give excellent protection, but 
one must be certain that neither beetles 
nor eggs are on the hams when they 
are put in the bags. 
A PEST OF STORED MEATS 
We have had some trouble keeping smoked 
meat. It keeps all right as far as preserving 
is concerned and it tastes’ delicious, but at 
this time of the year a bug gets in it, eating 
holes throughout the meat, not in one place 
but all through it. We are sending you some 
specimens and wish you would let us know 
how to overcome the insect. When we put up 
our meat we weigh it and for each 100 pounds 
we use 8 pounds of salt, 2 pounds of sugar, 2 
ounces saltpetre and soda. — J. J. M., New York. 
The insect is known as the larder 
beetle. The beetle is the adult insect 
and the grub is the young stage. This 
insect is a pest of hams, bacon, and 
other smoked meats. The larvse also 
attack horns, hoofs, skins, beeswax, 
feathers, hair, and museum specimens. 
The insects sometimes become a great 
pest in places where meats are stored. 
Where they are present in great num¬ 
bers it is a pretty sure indication that 
they have a breeding place in some 
neglected meats from which the beetles 
spread to the new supply. The first 
thing to do is to make a thorough clean¬ 
ing of the storeroom, getting rid of all 
possible material on which they can 
feed and thus stop the breeding of 
the beetles. After the storeroom has 
been thoroughly cleaned and washed 
out with soapsuds it should be sprayed 
with gasoline or fumigated with either 
carbon bisulphide or hydrocyanic gas. 
The latter is deadly poisonous to stock; 
use care with it. Keep fire away from 
carbon bisulphide gas. Cheese ground 
up and poisoned with arsenic and 
placed in the haunts of the beetles will 
often kill many of them. 
In putting away smoked meats they 
should he bagged just as soon as they 
are finished and great care should be 
taken to make the bags tight, because 
MOISTURE IN ENGINE EXHAUST 
I have about a 15-foot exhaust pipe on my 
engine. In freezing weather there forms an 
icycle on the end of the pipe, keeps freezing 
until the hole is completely covered with ice. 
I have to take hot water to keep the passages 
clear. What is the cause of this, and what 
will I do to stop It? This plant is run by 
gasoline.—E. F. M., New York. 
Probably most of the moisture which 
troubles you in the exhaust pipe of your 
engine is taken in through the air in¬ 
take of the engine itself, and driven out 
through the exhaust. Cold air has 
very high relative humidity, that is, it 
normally contains much more moisture 
than does hot air. When cold air is 
taken in through the intake, and heated 
in the explosion chamber of the en¬ 
gine, most of this moisture is driven 
out of the air, and naturally carried 
out through the exhaust pipe, and upon 
reaching cole air will naturally freeze. 
I do not know of any practical way 
in which this trouble can be eliminated, 
except to protect the pipe in some way 
so that the opening is not exposed to 
such freezing weather. Would it be 
possible to arrange the exhaust pipe 
differently so as to have it more pro¬ 
tected? It may be that simply wrapping 
the pipe with some nonburnable in¬ 
sulating material will keep it so warm 
through its entire length, that the 
moisture will not condense on, or in the 
pipe itself.

REMOVING IMPURITIES FROM 
SPRING WATER - 
I have a system of running water on my 
farm that troubles with particles of sand in it 
I tried sinking a barrel about 25 feet from the 
spring, putting the pipe in one side, part way 
up, attaching the other one on the other side 
hoitnm s sa “ d wou!d settle to the 
bottom. This did not help any. The spring is 
not large enough to permit the water running 
a the time. It gets below the pipe 
and lets air in the pipe. Can you tell me of 
some inexpensive way to remedy this? When 
we draw water ahead and let it set the 
particles soon settle to bottom of pail and are 
all shapes, some long, some short. The water 
looks perfectly clear up In the spring—J R 
J., New York. 
Very often water which is taken 
from springs or near-to-the-surface 
s0 'V’ t ' es is likely to contain impurities 
may be mineral in origin or 
i!' C u simply be organic material 
which is carried in the water in sus¬ 
pension. Perhaps if you used a recep¬ 
tacle larger than the barrel and put in 
baffle-boards so as to retard the flow 
of the water, it might be held quiescent 
long enough to allow the impurities to 
collect and settle. The barrel is rather 
small to function as settling chamber. 
Perhaps a series of barrels will over¬ 
come the difficulty. Otherwise, try a 
large chamber, with baffles to cheek 
the agitation caused by the ' inflow. 
Baffles will help also if a series of 
barrels were used.
