COVER YOUR MACHINE,

The cost of tools ana implements to
satisfactorily farm a quarter secucn
is about seven hundred dollars. If
those implements are properly cov-
cred and protected, their life will b.
between Twelve and fifteen years
varying largely of course with the
compleXity of their parts. If these
machines are left in the open the,
depreciate very fast the exact
amount depending somewhat on
weather conditions, but it approxima-
ties fifty dollars the first year and in.
creases rapidly each succeeding year.
It is reasonable to assume that in a
few years the efficiency of these ma
chimes Is lessened by at least several
hundred dollars. s.
Good business judgment among
farmers demands that their nipple
ments be properly housed. 1t is pro-
bable that, at the present time, the
depreciation in few years is great
