11any manufacturers furnish direc-
lions as to how often this should be
done. Filling the crank case with kero-
enc after draining out old oil, and
then running the engine a few minutes
without load, in order to remove dirt
and carbon from bearings and other
parts, is frequently recommended. This
is good practice where the crank case
can be drained completely, but on
many engines there are pockets which
cannot be fully drained, and the kero-
sene remaining in these pockets will
thin the new Oil. Under such circum-
stances the rinsing is of doubtful
value. After such rinsing is done, the
engine should not be u at full speed
or under load until the new oil has had
ample time to reach all bearings. The
dirty Oil drained off may be filtered
and used for oiling other farm ma
chimes, but it should not be used again
in the cylinder. If the oil in the crank
case quickly becomes thin it is evil
dent that some Of the fuel is getting

affects the lubricating quality of the
oil. 1t should, of course, be replaced
with fresh Oil, and steps taken to i'm
prove the c%arburetion so as to form
a fuel mixture which will burn more
completely.
Keep All Nuts Tight.
1t requires but a minute or two to
go owe an engine and see that all
screws and nuts are tight, at the same
time wiping off any oil and dirt which
have collected. This should be done at
least once every day the engine is
used. Such practice will go far toward
preventing many operating troubles,
since all gas engines vibrate to some
extent and this vibration tends to
loosen bolts, nuts and other parts.
This is always a potential source of
breakdowns, if not Of serious accidents.
Furthermore, loosening Of parts often
results in a loss of power.

1t is safe to assume that the man
who made the engine knows something
about it's operation and can give some
information of value to the purchaser.
In altogether too many cases, the in
struction book and other literature
intended to be of assistance to the
user Of the outfit are either thrown
away or ignored completely, and not
infrequently a man is sent from the
factory, or a local expert is hired, to
make simple adjustments concerning
which full instructions are given in
literature furnished by the manufac'
turer but which had lever been read
by the owner.
fabrication.
A large percentage of repair ex-
penses is due to insufficient or i'm
proper fabrication. In far too many
cases owners Of gas engines use grades
Of oil entirely unsuited to their en-
gines, Notwithstanding the fact that
in each case the manufacturer has fur
nished a long list of various brands
and grades of oil which have been
tested and found suitable to the engine
in question, and which can be obtained
practically anywhere in the country.
Another common error is to use too
little Oil. 1t is poor economy to try to
save on oil. On the other hand, an
excess Of oil in the cylinder, while
better than too little, will cause car
bon deposits, followed by loss Of
power, overheating, and preignition.
Heavy, blush smoke from the exhaust
indicates that the cylinder is getting
too much oil, but it is usually ad-
visable to furnish enough to give at
least a slight trace Of blush smoke.
If the cylinder is oiled from the
crank case by the splash system, the
lubricant being used over and over
again, the oil should be examined fire.
quently, and as soon as 1t becomes
badly discolored or very thin 1t should
be drained out and new oil substituted.

The gas engine, a great labor saver
on thousands of farms on which sta.
tionary engines, tractors, motor trucka
or automobiles are operated efficiently,
is also at times the cause of a great
waste Of labor. Often large crews

% stock, run a milking machine, or for
some other similar purpose, than
would be required to do the work by
hand. The time lost throughout the
country in this manner, enormous in
the aggregate, is to a great extent
preventable.
It is not desired to Convey the i'm
preston that gas engines usually give
trouble, or are difficult to operate, for
this is by no means the case. Delays
from engine trouble are usually due
to the operators ignorance of some Of
the details essential to proficient oper-
alton.
Use Information Furnished.
All catalogues and directions fur
nished by the manufacturer should be
studied carefully. If none are received
with the engine, a request for them
should he sent DrOmntlv tO the manu-

few manufacturers are rather lax in
the matter of furnishing such ma
terial, although it is obviously to their
interest to make use Of this compare

the purchaser to obtain satisfactory
service from the engine.
Any instruction book furnished by
the manufacturer should be kept in
a safe place, but convenient for refer
ence.
