CARE OF FARM IMPLEMENTS

It is questionable whether any of us Tealise what enormous sums are annually' Vasted through- luck of reasonable care of farm implements, says the "Farmvis' Union Advocate." It has 'been estimated t-Fat an imploment kept continuously out of doors will /last only one quarter of the time of one kept unuer cover when not in use, Much losses alio caused by not attending to repairs ns soon as the defect is noticed and by the over-cautious use of the oil-can and paint-brush, . ' It* is scarcely that some farmers maintain that the time spoilt in putting an implement, under cover, when not in use. is not compensated for by the lengthened life of the implemont. Such is wonderful logic which need? no comment.
