KEEP THE MACHINERY OILED
Usefulness Of Implements Is Greatly
Increased and Amount Of Labor
Greatly Reduced.

One of the little things that is lack
ing on a majority of farm implements
is a good and convenient system of lu-
IRRIGATION. The common oil cup with
open top or loose cap is sure to get
filled with dirt and grit, which cut out
the bearings, largely increasing the
power required to operate the ma
chine and greatly reducing it's period
of usefulness.
The hard oil cup, which holds
enough oil to last a week or more.
always is tight, and can be screwed
down a little each day, thus insuring
a clean bearing ard a regular supply
OF grease. Many OF the common i'm
plements could be vastly improved by
replacing the common oil holes with
hard oil cups.
The oil holes can easily be reamed
u 4 threaded to the proper stand
ard and the hard oil cups screwed
into them. The amount Of work and
expense required will be returned
many fold in the saving of horseflesh
and the increased life Of the na.
chinery.
