The (tetter machinist a farmer is. the
more time and money will be saved.
He should understand thoroughly ev-
•ry machine he uaea, and be able to re
pair nil but the moot serious breaks for
himself, and avoid being dependent
upon paid service. It ia wise fore
thought to keep on hand duplicates of
such parts as are moat liable to break,
thus saving valuable time, especially
In the haying season. A well-equipped,
tool chest, with screw» and nails of all1
kinds, should be a part of every fann
ers outfit. If one of the boya shows
a taste for mechanics, give Mm a
chance to develop It. He will be a val
