PAINT AND OIL MACHINERY

There are now many implements
that have completed their share OF
tho seasons work Have you pro-
perly housed them? Do not leave
them under II tree or leaky shed,
but see to 1t that they are put away
until they shall be used again.
All working parts of the machines
or implements should be oiled
thoroughly, as oil will prevent the
bearing from rusting. A rusted bear
ing will work stiff and hard, and its
life will be short Use little gaso-
line or kerosine on the bearing In
the spring and It will clear all thick
ened oil and grease. This care Of
your machinery will pay for the time
spent IN the ease and lightness with
which the machine will work.
The use of a little paint will not
only protect the wood from decay but
will add to the appearance and to its
value. The wooden parts of the farm
equipment, when exposed to the wind
and weather, have a tendency to dry
out, crack and warp. Many ma
chimes usefulness is impaired by
weakened parts, and at times the to-
tai use of the implement. II is won
derful the value little paint has
when applied every time 1t is needed.
The successful farmer knows the
effect of little judicious care upon
his equipment. The satisfaction OBJ
tanned through working with properly
cared for tools will more than pay
for the time spent in keeping them
In good shape.-Utah Farmer.

Ladies Darker
Your Gray Hair
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and sulphur
Recipe and Nobody will Know.

The use OF Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat
ural color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used to keep her
hair beautifully dark, glossy and alb
undent. Whenever her hair fell out
or took that dull. faded or streaked
appearance. this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect
But brewing at home is fussy and
Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for 5O-cent bottle
OF "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you Will get this famous old
recipe which can be depended upon
TO restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry. feverish, itchy scalp and
falling hair
A well-known downtown druggist
says II darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell II has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with II and draw
this through your hair taking one
strand mt time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after A.
mother application or two Il becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, and abund-
ant.
