Taking proper cire of u results it: a monetary gaiE ; leaving it exposed in the open at all seasons of the year i^u>l ui^an economic loss, not unly to the farmer; but to the whole commu- nity, tt is generally recognized by authorities on agriculture that, if exposed iu all kinds oi weaXher, farm uiachioes depreciate mote than they do from fair wear and tear.

Many farmers can utilize an uimsfid barn Hoor or a part of some other buildii.g, for part of a building that has been set aside for machinery.

Jt is a good p!au, after re- uiuviiig an dirt, to wipe the entiie machine with an otled rag and to grease all wearing parts with tallow or axle grease.- - Furthar, it pays to renew the paint on thu machinery at regular intei- vals. Pairtt of good quality applied to well cleai.el sui faces is an' esc;;llent protection as well as improving the appeai'tiioe of the machines.
