Olemson College, January 18. ? Much of ? t li<* ltwM and annoyance caused by breakage <?f farm equipment iua.v be j avoided l>y careful inspection and re- j pair of weak iiarts before the season's, rush begins. TIic proper time for making repairs Is during the winter and nt times when I lie regular farm work is not urgent, specialists of the United States De partment of Agriculture say. As the season advances implements which will h?' needed for the next farming operations should lie gone over and given any attention required to make them ready for immediate use. If the farm machinery is not properly housed during periods of disuse, it Is all the more Important that it should be given a careful overhauling. After Inspect lit?i nu implement,' tightening bolts, strengthening weak part?, and renew ing broken pieces the necessary paint hip; should be done. Frequent applica tions of dark metallic paint, consist ing either of red lead or Venetian red and raw linseed oil. not onlv improve the appearance of farm implements, but add greatly to their durability. This is an age when appearances count, and a farmer's' standing in the community frequently is governed by tbe ain>earnnce of Ills farm equipment. The man who spends his spare mom ents in the rapair of fences and gates maintaining a neat appearance 1ms a better chance of becoming a lender In his community than tfhe man whose farm ha-s slovenly appearance.
