IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our son and
brother, Robert v. johnson, who left us
so suddenly on December %. 1866.
You little thought when leaving the
house.
You would no more return,
That you in death so soon would sleep.
And leave us here to mourn.
We do not know the pain you bore.
We didn't see you die.
We only know you passed away
And could not say goodbye.
No one knows how much we miss you,
No one knows the bitter pain
We have suffered since we lost you.
Life has never been the same.
Dearly loved and sadly missed by
Daddy. Mother. Sisters and Brothers.

Keep Grease Clean

MOST FARMERS now recognize how
necessary it is to use the right type
of grease in the right place and in
the right amount, but they sometimes
overlook the matter of keeping the
grease clean. One of the most import
ant points of all is taking every pre-
caution to see that no abrasive dust
or dirt carries into the bearing at the
time of grease application.
Grease packages should be kept COW
cred and away from dust.
Grease fittings should be wiped clean
before the grease gun is applied to
them.
The grease gun itself should be kept
clean. One way to keep grease from
clinging to the gun each time it is
filled with new supply is to dip the
barrel into a small quantity of motor oil
first, to coat the surface with oil. Then
when the cylinder barrel is forced into
the grease to load it and is pulled out
again, it will come out clean.

Gasoline Gums Up
Stored Engines
By E. B. WILSON

THE GASOLINE should have been
drained from the tank and carburetor
of any motor that was not used at
least occasionally this winter. If it
wasn't the evaporation of the gasoline
has probably left a gummy deposit.
Such a deposit may cause difficulty
when you try to operate the motor
again this spring or summer. Also, this
fuel, after the light ends have evano-
rated, can cause valve sticking when
the motor is operated after long periods
of storage
Here's what you can do to prevent
trouble if you didn't drain the fuel from
your combine or other motors last
fall. First, drain the fuel from the
tank and carburetOr. Second, pour at
least a quart of acetone, or mixture
of one part alcohol and one part ben
zol into the fuel tank. Be sure that it
fills the carburetor and all fuel lines.
After several days, drain the fuel sys-
tenn again and flush with gasoline.
Third, fill with fresh gasoline and
operate. \

Care and LuhricatiOn
OF Electric Motors

1T is IMPORTANT to keep motor
clean and dry. If it is necessary to
operate one in extremely damp loca-
tons it would be better to get special
splash-proof type. If your motor is
flooded with water, clean and dry it
thoroughly before you use it again.
Observation-Disclosures is a good cleaning
agent.
Dust can damage a motor by causing
it to overhead and to wear. We recon-
mend special dust-proof motors for
feed-grinding rooms and similar dusty
jobs.
Oil your motors periodically with a
good grade of clean lubricant. If the
factory instructions do not give the
time intervals and the amount and type
of oil to use, then you will have to use
your own judgment. A good rule is to
lubricate motor lightly and frequently
rather than heavily and infrequently.
Two or three drops of oil once or. twice
month is usually better than Is or 20
drops every six months. To much oil
will damage the motor windings and is
almost as bad as too little.
Inspect motors that you use more
or less continuously. Inspect them ev.
cry day or two in order to see that they
are functioning properly. Make com
plete check and clean the bearings al
least once a year.
