One of the irst essentials 10 the hand

derstand all parts and to be able TO ad-
Just them for best working conditions.
BY running n certain implement with one
or more of its parts out Of adjustment
there is danger of damaging other parts
10y throwing unequal strains on them, be-
sides running the part which is not adj
justed. In a grain binder, for Example,
ono side of one of the elevator canyases
may be tighter than the other, or the ele-
vator frame may not be square, the result
is that the canvas can not run straight,
and one end of the canvas slat geta
ahead Of the other, thus perhaps causing
it to be torn off. This will not only sc.
riously damage the canvas but cause 9th.

fully looking over the machine it was
found that the clips which hold the sick
lei in place ON the cutter bar, had been
hammered down so there was no play and
team could not pull it. As soon as
these were raised enough to give a very
little play, the machine was ready for
work.

very much by lie condition, A dull pillow

energy to pun than one which is in good

the horses, but at the same time do poor

Watch New Machinery.

New machinery should be watched
constantly to prevent the loss of bolts

may need tightening. There is nothing
that win shorten the life Of farm machin-
cry more than the earelessness7 Of not
keeping all nuts screws and lugs tight.
a wrench should always be found in
connection with mschines which are in
operation, and they should be used when
Oecessary. Some few people get in the
habit Of using wrench entirely too

action Of the weather which will cause
