Texas history has been followed at

Naturally, no one feed or conbina-
tion of feeds can be recommended as
being the best under all conditions
Factors to be considered in deciding
upon substitutes for the usual feeds
are the relative cost and feeding val-
ue of others, prices for these feeds,
and the likes and dislikes aud body
requirements of the animals to be
fed.

IN ANSWER TO A LADY'S LETTER
A lady writes to say that she does not understand why an 8-cylinder
car does not cost more to run than a car with fewer cylinders. She
refers to my statement that our Ford V-3 develops more power on a gallon
of gas than any car we have made.
The use of 8-cylinders doe3 not mean the addition of two or fou.
extra fuel consumers. It is not. for example, a 4-cylinder engine
multiplied by two. Our 8-cylinder engine takes the fuel supply 01 an
ordinary 4-cylinder engine and divides it eight ways. And why?
' By reducing four larger explosions into eight smaller ones, we get
engine smoothness and quietness. Eight-cylinders indicate the way the
gas is used, not the amount. It is just the difference between going
upstairs in four long jumps or in eight ordinary steps.
Two things use up gas-bad engine design and useless car weight.
Besides having an engine that gets a high percentage of power out of the
fuel, the Ford V-8 has a light, strong body and chassis so that no power
is wasted in moving excess weight.
The only extravagance about the new Ford V-3 engine is in the bail mg
of it. The extravagance is ours—the economy is yours.
The whole question of car economy needs clearing up. An economics,
car gives economy all round. Price, operation, upkeep, all play their
part. If what you save on gas you lose elsewhere, that is not economy.
As to upkeep, our dealers say that in recent years the improved
