C3 ' trie new -w 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. were used to hold Ford Motor fo) Orchestra of The Dalles . Ttrm -m 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. est period of tune at a minimum of trou ble and expcc.se. Company Maupin 1 V Supper Extra 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, ABOUT WOMEN Mrs. Harriet G.
