oiling system.
The lubrlcatin oil must be fresuont
ly changed for several reasons. The
oil alter a time will wear out, or, in
other words, it will lose its lubricat
ing value alter it has been In the
system for a certain length of time.
The fuel which condenses in the cyl
inder works past the piston rings,
thins down the oil and destroys its
lubricatlnc value. The need nf
changing the oil is particularly urgent
when it becomes contaminated with
foreign matter, such as carbou, which
forms on the under side of the piston;
silica, or dust, which enters the crank
case through the breather pipe; and
oxide of iron, which comes from the
wear of the bearing surfaces of the
motor. The presence of this foreign
matter In the lubricating oil acts as
an abrasive rather than as a lubri
cant. Lubricating oil Is intended to
form a 111m between all moving parts
such as bearings, pistons, rings, and
cylinders, taking the wear instead of
the metallic bearing surfaces them
selves. It is, therefore, cheaper from
every standpoint to wear out lubricat
ing oil than metal, and if an englue Is
to develop Its maximum power and
show a low (fictional resistance in
the bearing surfaces, the lubricant
must be kept clean and it must have
its maximum lubricating value.

fornilng a valuable service in teach
ing the operator of a tractor the cor
rect means of lubricating his engine.
The company Is interested not so
much in selling merely a gallon or a
barrel of lubricating oil as it is in
correct lubrication, which
