This, and the coasting, skimming
quality that surpasses the smooth,
steady travel of any Hupmobile
It is literally true that in reliabil-

Hupmobile is to be compared only
with the finest cars produced to-
day.

In workmanship, in materials, in
precise measurements, there is no
substantial difference between
this recent triumph of Hupmobile
engineering, and cars costing two
and three times its price.
This has been true of all Hupmo-
biles. Nothing else could account
for the fact that the earliest
models built 15 years ago are still
in use in all parts of the world.
It is particularly true of this new
car. Celebrated as the Hupmobile
has always been for its flash get-
away, this Hupmobile is even
quicker in pick-up.

Campaign Among Farmers
for Cream Improvement
Creameries suffering losses due to
poor grades of butter are urged by A.
J. McGuire, dairy specialist with the
agricultural extension division of the
University of Minnesota, to put on an
-educational campaign among their
patrons for improving the quality of
their cream.
“Interest can be aroused In having
all cream delivered at least twb a
week and In improving the methods
on the farms for greater care and
cleanliness so that pure sweet cn-.i-i
whl be delivered,” he says. “The wide
difference in price between good and
poor butter results In serious losses
tinder present conditions and can be
prevented.” e
,A continuous loss in the price of but-
ter because of poor quality has led to
■ the failure of creameries, Mr. Mc-
Guire asserts.

The June 22 issue of The auto-
car, one of. the leading English auto-
motive publications, carried a two-
page article on the Lincoln car. A
portion of that article is quoted be-
low:
When It was announced that
Henry Ford had. assumed control of
the factory which produced the Lin-
coln car, considerable interest was;
aroused because, at first sight, it
would be thought that the larger
car, being built with a tota^y dif-
ferent object, would not lend itself
to the methods which have made
the Ford famous, while years of
work of a highly specialized nature
might gjtve experience which would
not’* “apply’ to* a’ very high-
grade article. Hqw far the, theory
fits the facts can be told as the
result of a test on the Lincoln’,
- The car has an eight-cylinder V
type engine, and particularly has it
been designed so that all ordinary
work may be undertaken comfort-
ably on top gear. In the course of
a 128-mile run from London round
Hindhead and back through Surrey,
it was necessary to use second gear
on only two hills, both of about 1
in 7 gradient, and this notwithstand-
ing that second would have been
used freely on other occasions had
second been necessary.
It is with large engines of this
type that one approaches very near
to the ideal of motoring movement,
because a steady, but slight, move-
ment of the throttle lever produces
a feeling that the car is bounding
forward without any effort on the
part of the engine. This is par-
ticularly noticeable on long steady
ascents, as, for example, the climb
up Hindhead from Godaiming, which
can be taken for the whole way on
top without the least trouble, and

A special White Swan recipe and the experience of
White Swan cooks prevent under- or over-cooking.
A selection of the finest tomatoes and not too much
pork make a sauce with a new taste—a flavor all its
own that will bring you back for more.
Serve them just as they come from the can, cr heat
them if you prefer—either way thev add zest to the
meal. Even if you are tired cf ordinary bean?, you
can begin all over again with White Swan Brand.
And the cost is no more.
The reputation cf fifty other V nite Swan food prod-
ucts over a period of more than half a century could
not be maintained by anything but the best.

sizes—10c and 15c.

that at .10 to 15 m. p. h. it is pos-

necessity to change gear. Exactly

Hill or Robin Hood Hill.
can the car go up fast, but, what
is more important, it can go up
quite slowly on the same gear. In
fact, on one particular hill this is
the only car of the many that we'
have tested which took the mile-long
run entirely—and easily—on- top.
Thanks to a particularly smooth
clutch it is possible to start off on
top gear, and the whole machine
runs almost silently. In actual test,
without driving especially for petrol
consuption and at a round cruising
speed, the Lincoln covered 13.1 m.
p. g.—better even than its claim—
and we are informed that the oil
consumption is remarkably low. The
carbureter has an electric heater,
brought into operation by the air
shutter control, to assist in staring
he engine on a cold day.
Being American, the body is full
of little gadgets for the delectation
of the occupants. For instance,
there are two doors to the driving
compartment, and to clear the space
still further the steering wheel can
be folded up out of the way. One
key fits the ignition switch, without
which the starting motor will not
come into operation—an important
point. The flap to the tool kit in
th'e left-hand side door, the locks
on two excellent cupboards behind
the rear seats, the lock for the gear
lever in neutral, and the lock which
secures the spare rims in position
at the rear of the car, are all use-
of Agriculture.)
The practice of evaporation of fruits
when developed in any given territory
jflfrves to increase orchard returns by
* diverting fruit excluded from market^
grades by superficial blemishes into
falable products and to maintain fresh-
fruit prices by absorbing a portion of
‘the marketable grades in years of
overproduction. The drying of fruits
as practiced at the present time is
largely a farm Industry carried on by.
flie gruit growers themselves as a part
pf the routine of harvesting and dis;
Z posing of the crop. The plants in
-^yhlch the work is done are/malnly
- small, their size being most frequently
4’etermlned by the size, of the own-
7~fer’s orchard, and there ’is great dl-
.'\verstty in the drying apparatus, the
^'accessory equipment, and the detail^
qf drying methods employed, with a
" .consequent absence of definite stand-
ardization of the product. This wopld
be expected In view of the fact that
£ 252,289 farms reported the production
- of dried fruits In the census of 191b,
The primary need of the industry is
•for such a standardization of equlp-
’ ment and application of labor-saving
- devices to the handling of the mat£'
rial as will enable the production of a
1 better grade of product at lower costs.
, Types of Evaporators.
’ Various types of artificially heate4,
evaporators found by test of actual
use to be best suited to specific pur-
poses are described in detail In De-
partment Bulletin 1141, just Issued by
.the United States Department of Ag-
riculture on evaporation of fruits. The
bulletin includes a description of model
Installations of labor-saving machinery,
as well as a somewhat zfull discussion
Of improved methods of handling the
■^various fruits in preparation for dry-.
Ing as well as during the drying proc-
ess. The drying installations are the
most modem In character, but are of
such moderate size and cost as to be
suited to the means and needs of a
particular case.
Community Plant Suggested.
In many communities in which grow-
■ lug of fruit is not a primary. Industry
the aggregate quantity of unmarket-
able fruit may be such as to make ad-
visable the construction of a com-
munity drying plant to which every
grower in the vicinity may bring his
surplus to be worked up. A number
of considerations, which should be
kept clearly in mind when the project
of a community or co-operative evapo-
rator is under discussion, are men-
tioned. Those interested In the sub-
ject of evaporation of fruits will find

From this it will be seen that the
details of the car are remarkably
well carried out, but apart from
these refinements the Lincoln is a
good car, well worth the price ask-
