Average Life of Implements ARMERS, especially in the western portion of the United. States, have been much criticized in so-called “farm journals” because they failed to shelter their farm machinery from the weather. An investigation by the United States department of agricul- ture in New York state indicates, how- ever, that the building. of expensive shelters is seldom a wise move. The department investigators reached the conclusion that as a rule it-is not prof- itable to build any special shelter for machinery which adds over 15 per cent to the total machinery investment on a farm. In other words, if a farmer has $1,000 worth of machinery, his shelter cost should not exceed $150; if he has $2,000 worth of machinery the shelter should not cost more than $300, and so on. 4 The department report says: “The walking plow, disc harrow, land roller, one-row cultivator, hay- rake and hay tedder are among the most expensive implements to house in proportion to their cost. Being made of heavy wooden or metal parts with few moving elements they are less injured by exposure than are some others. “Machines such as binders, inowers, drllls, planters, etc., having many. moving parts, or many of light wood or metal, are seriously affected in op- eration by rust or decay and are in greater need of protection from the weather. It is ordinarily profitable to provide special shelter for those machines.” The department mvestlgatlon also covered the average life and work of various common pieces of agricultural machinery, under New York condi- 614 in size, cloth bound, and wil re- tail at $1.00. Send 40 cents in two-cent stamps, or a postoffice order, and you will re- ceive this $1.00 book at below actual cost. Only a limited number to be sold at this price.
