Not Much to Do.

This is splendid time for the far
mer to look up his old harness and
straps and if any of them need re-
pairs, have them repaired and oiled
nicely so as to have them ready for
use in the spring. Saur & Balsley
have an excellent oil which not only
preserves old leather but makes it
look nice and new, and makes it last
enough longer to pay more than ten
times the cost of the oil. Then, too,
your plows, your harrows, your
reapers and mowers, in fact all your
farming implements should be looked
over carefully, many Of them, no
doubt need coat or two of paint;
this you can also do yourself, for the
reason that you can buy the paint
already prepared for use and anyone
big enough or old enough to handle
a paint brush can apply it. You can
get these paints in any shade or color
and in any quantity, large or small,
at Saur & Balsley's drug and paint
store.
