It ruins farm tools about as quick to be
left exposed to the hot sun of midsummer
as to be left out in rain and snow. Heat
dries and shrinks the wood work, so that
tools and machines become shaky, and it
makes openings for the moisture to set in
and complete the work of destruction. II
you must leave the tools out, at least keep
them well painted. The paint fills the
pores, and to some extent will prevent
Spreading and cracking. Paint is good
preservative, and coat applied every
spring or fall will double the life of tool.
