OIL FARM MACHINES FREELY
Where Axle Grease Is Used Sparingly
Draft or Load Is Increased at
Least 20 Per Cent.

(By D. E. wIsEMAN, Kansas stationl
It pays to use plenty OF luDricatlng
oil on farm machinery. Where the oil
or axle grease is used sparingly the
draft or load Of the machine Is In
creased at least 20 per cent. Because
of It's economy hard oil should be used
in preference to ordinary machine Oil
wherever possible. The hard oil Will
not waste as easily and is cheaper
than machine oil.
A well-lubricated machine will last
longer than one that Is not sufficiently
well oiled. The dust-proof box on
most axles Of modern farm machinery
has done much to lengthen the life OF
the machines and Is saving the lubri-
cant. Care must be taken to keep this
box well oiled, or it will wear out.
The cost of repairing machinery Is
high, but the time that is lost In re-
placing worn-out pieces may mean q
loss Of hundreds Of dollars to the
farmer.
