Shelter the Farm Machinery

properly" A season without shelter
damages farm machinery more than
the wear caused by it's use during the
same season.
The action of the weather, which will
cause rusting of the iron and steel
parts, will seriously interfere with the
working of the machine when it is
again put to use. BY this exposure,
certain parts become very much weak
ened and the entire machine thus be-
comes shorter lived.
When the seasons work with a ma
chine has been finished, it should be
thoroughly cleaned and all parts that
are likely to rust should be carefully
wiped with an oiled rag. 1t is a good
idea to coat these parts with tallow OF
a good grade of axle grease. After
carefully putting away the creased
parts, the implement itself should be
stored in a shed of some kind for shell
ter
The farmer who takes the proper
care of his implements not only houses
them and keeps them in good adjust
ment, but he paints them occasionally
Paint closes all cracks and keeps out
the moisture 1t not only preserves
the wood but the iron parts are bene
fiteed as we'll 1t also gives the tools
a much better appearance.
1t should be remembered that the
prosperity of a farmer may be esti
mated by the way he cares for his ma
chinery Poor care indicates shiftless
ness, waste, lack of energy and the ne
cessity of buying more implements in a
short time Good care, on the other
hand, indicates prosperity, develop
ment, bank deposits, and long-lived
machinery.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1909-12-04

The farmers land, livestock, and
machinery are his business capital. To
make good returns and interest on the
money invested in them, they must be
properly cared for There is no source
of loss greater to the farmer than that
caused by not sheltering the machin
cry.
The farmer or anyone else, cannot
afford to buy new machine that is
perhaps actually used less than one
month during the entire year and then
let it stand out under tree or behind
the barn for the ether eleven months.
Machinery was not made for shelter
ing hogs or furnishing roosting places
for chockens The rain should not be
allowed to soak the bearings, or the
sun blister the paint; neither should a
few unnecessary bolts be taken out to
fix the cultivatOr in the spring and
another to fix the pillow in the fall. The
iron parts should not be allowed to
rust; neither should the bearings and
gearings get out of line. All the above
are happening with too much machin-
cry, and the result is that two many
farmers must take their medicine like
men and buy new machines before the
ones they now have are paid for or
should be one-half worn out.
Money lost by neglect of machinery
on our farms represents, in thousands
of instances, the difference between
prosperity and poverty, or it is the di-
viding line between failure and sue
