Every farmer should keep a can of the following mixture rKerosine, two quarts ; linseed oil, one gil! ; resin, one ounce. Melt the resin in the linseed oil ; and add to the kerosene. Coat all steel or iron tools, wherever bright, with this, when they are to lie idle, if only for a few daj-s. Tt will not lake half a minute or half a tnspoonfull of this mixture to coat a plough when one has finished using it ; and it will prevent all rust, and save half a day’s time in cleaning it when it is again needed, besides saving t ie team many thousands of pounds extra pulling. Coat the iron work of the mowers, and reapers with it when they a» - e put away for the winter. A little rust is only a little thing, hut it "makes much difference in the aggregate.
