Winter Care of Farm Kquipnient.
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.
