LOOK AFTER FARM TOOLS.
Now Is the Time to Put Every Farming
utensil in Working Order.

Farm machinery in recent wears ha =
played very important role in erop
production, and this year it's place in
farm operation is more important than
ever before. The proper amount and
kind of tools will enable the farmer to
work more land and obtain better re.
turns. In fact, the increased Use of
farm machinery frequently makes it
possible to manage the farm with less
help One of the greatest causes of
deterioration of farm tools and nipple
ments j. their exposure TO the weather
and the failure upon the part of the
farmer or laborer to clean them properly
before they are put away for the sea-
son when they are not in active use
There is a wide variation in the length
Of life of those farm implements treated
properly and those left to rust in the
fields. This difference is sufficient to
pay high interest on the initial cost of
good farm machinery. The lack of prop
er storage and care during the winter
months is responsible for much of the
depreciation. This season also is the
best time In which to repair machines
and put them in proper mechanical con
dition.
The farmer has everything TO gain and
nothing TO lose by placing his order a.
early as possible for now machines and
repair parts which will be needed next
season. II this fact is true in normal
times, its Importance is msgnitied many
times now that shipments frequently
require longer time.
The farmer has been advised time
without number concerning the desirs
hility Of overhsuling farm tools and i'm
plements during the slack season.
Whether such advice Is necessary or
whether it is acted upon in norma
times i not = question to Be considered
row. The need for ample machinery.
running smoothly and without break
downs IN 1915. Is more important to the I
farmer than ever before To this end
