THE new Ford is exception
ally easy to steer because of
the well - proportioned
weight of the car, the eteel
epoke wheels, the co-ordinated
design of springs and
shock absorbers, the size
fT?d design of the steering
wheel, and the simple me
chanical construction of the
steering gear.
The Ford steering gear is
of the worm and sector
type used on high-priced
cars and is three-quarter
irreversible.
In simple, non-technical
language, this means that
the car responds easily and
quickly to ! he s eerin g wh eel,
yet there is no danger of the
wheel being jerked from the
Lands of the driver by ruts
or bumps in the road. . A
light touch guides the car,
yet you always have that
necessary f eel-of-the-road so
essential to good driving.
Strength of materials and
careful workmanship give
unusual stability to the Ford
steering gear and housing.
The steering worm, for
instance, is eplined to the
steering worm shaft and is
stronger, of course,
than if a einele kev m&z.

if
the shaft and worm to
gctfier. The steering worm
sector is forged and ma
chined in the same piece
with its shaft.
The housing of the steer
ing gear mechanism is made
of three etcel forgings, elec
trically welded together.
This housing is then electri
cally welded to the steering
column. Such a one-piece
gteel unit is naturally, much
s'nrm-sr than if several parts
were used and bolted or riv
eted together.
Throughout, thc-new Ford
steering mechanism is so
simple in design and so care
fully made that it requires
practically no attention.
The only thing for you to
do is to have the front steer
ing spindles, spindle con
necting rods, and drag link
lubricated every 500 miles
and the steering gear lubri
cated every 2000 miles.
For this work, you will
find it best to consult the
Ford dealer. He has been
specially trained and
equipped to help you get
the greatest possible use
from your car over the long.

On Cleaning Harnett .
A thorough overhauling, clean
ing:, and oiling: the harness once
or twice a year will prolong its
life. Take the harness apart bo
that all pari: can le overhauled, and
: oak it for a quarter of an hour in
lukewarm, water in which some mild
soap has been devolved. Scrub and
rinse it well. When nearly dry,
rub blacking on the leather
where needed, clean the metal parts
and make nece sary fepairs. Oil
ing the leather should be done
while damp, using neat's-foot oil.
castor oil, or a prepared harne s
oil. The U. S. Department of Agri
culture says that a very good mix
ture for heavy harness is neat's
foot and mixed with tallow to make
a pa te of about the consistency of
slightly warmed butter. Rub the
oil well into the leather and let it
dry slowly away from fire or son.
When the oil has dried, rub the
straps with a lather of white Cas
tile coap or a good harness soap, to
remove any surplus grease.
Pasture Pointer
Here are tome pertinent points
for permanent-pasture mixtures.
First, choose only grasses and le
gumes adapted to the ,oil and Cli
mate. Some of the grasses should
be long-lived perennials,, so that
the pasture will not deteriorate too
fast after the first year. Some turf
forming grasses are desirable; they
keep out weeds and make a firm
footing for livestock. Grasses with
a large number of basal leaves are
preferable; leaves are more nutrlti-
uog and palatable than stems. When
possible, include some grasses that
will germinate quickly and make a
heavy growth tin? fir-t yeat Always
include legumes, they furnish pro
tein and minerals and preserve the
nitrogen in the soil. Plan the pas
ture mixture so as to , make the
grazing ceason as. long as possible
Finally, a varied mixture will pro
vide variety in the ration,
