To have the conveniences for the
repair Of farm equipment at hand is
one OF the very important things on
the farm.
Breakdowns are most frequent dur.
ing the busy season. and much valu.
able time may be lost driving TO town
or to the nearest shop for repairs.
The extent to which the repair
work should be done on the farm will
depend entirely upon local circum.
stances. n there is a wellequipped
shop near by where the repair work
can be done by q trained mechanic
without loss OF time II may be best to
carry the greater part OF such work
to the shop: but II the shop is at a
distance. is poorly equipped. or. rs is
often the case. the mechanic In charge
Is Incapable OF turning out good work.
II will then be a saving to perform
the work at home. Besides. there Is a

be done on the farm II II is done

Much OF the loss and annoyance
from breakage may be avoided by
carefully inspecting and mending
weak parts OF the farm equipment
