PUT ALL MACHINERY UNDER TIGHT COVER

Farm Implements Have Advanced in Price and Should Have Good Winter Shelter. (Clemson College Bulletin.) Usually there are many who leave their harvesting machinery out In the weather for some time after all harvesting is over. Such a practice results in considerable damage to the binders and other harvesting machinery’. All farm implements have advanced In price and carelessness in taking care of them will cause considerable loss. At no time has the use of labor-saving machinery been in greater demand on the farms, and every farmer who has such machinery, should by all means take the very best care of it. Just as soon as one has finished using an Implement, it should be put under shelter, and where it will be kept in good condition for the next crop. Binders are easily broken if left in exposed places, where wagons and , other farm equipment are jammed into the same corners. Quite often, mow,ers, binders, wagons, etc., are all found in one tangled mass In one corner of the shed, along with the drills and threshing machines. Such carelessness can only result in some of the machinery being damaged. By •caring for such machinery properly the lifetime of the Implements.can be doubled.
