"This is especially true If clover

done as soon as the ground can be
worked" E. ]. Kinney said. "The
cost of seeding in this way is much
less than the cost of summer seed
ing and the method is well worth a
trial. If a failure results, the field
can be reseeded again in August.
Weeds are apt to be most trouble

sown without a nurse crop since the
weed seeds are near the surface In
freshly worked ground and ready to

alfalfa a start on the weeds, isadvis-

POOR TRACTOR LUBRIcATIoN
CAUSES OWNER ZIG TRoUBLE


Faulty fabrication is the source of
trouble In the majority Of cases
where farmers have been unable TO
operate tractors to the best advan.
tage, farm engineering specialists at
the College Of Agriculture believe.
Faulty spak plugs and other minor
troubles can be corrected easily with
little or no damage to the machine
butw hen proper fabrication is neg.
lected, a reduction in the lifetime of
the machine is almost sure to result,
they say.
Included among the points which
they believe they have outlined in a
number of fabrication suggestions are
the following:
1t Is a good idea to keep lubricat-
ing oil, greases, buckets and tunnels
in clean. dust-proof cupboard since
they easily collect dust.
Use the kind and amount of oil rec,
commended by the manufacturer.
Extra attention should be given the
fabrication of the engine while It is
new and stiff.
Oil and grease on the outside of
the bearings are decided detriment
since they easily collect grit and dira.
A little oil in the right place is
worth many pounds placed careless
ly.
Too much mbricating oil causes ex-
ira carbon and needless expense.
On account of fuel passing the pis-
ton rings, oil in the crank case of
the engine becomes worthless and
must be removed. Such oil canot be
usedagain safely for the same pur-
pose.
AS a rule, lubricants that are low
est in original cost are the most ex-
pensive for the tractor owner.
Never depend on someone else to
Intricate the tractor you are run
ming. You will know whether or not
1t is done right If you do it yourself.
