ROUGH-AND-TUMBLE ENGINEERING 73 



VE. 



Any young engineer who will make use of what he 

 has read will never get his engine into much trouble. 



ifacturcrs of farm engines today make a spec 

 of this class of goods, and they endeavor to build them 



mple and with as few parts as possible. They do 

 g that, as a rule, they must be run by men 

 who cannot take a course in practical engineering. If 

 each one of the many thousands of engines that are 

 turned out every year required a practical engineer to 

 run it, it would be better to be an engineer than to own 

 an engine. Manufacturers knowing this, therefore make 



engines as simple and with as little liability to get 



f order as possible. The simplest form of an engine, 

 however, requires of the operator a certain amount of 

 brains and a willingness to do that which he knows should 

 be clone. If you. who read this, will follow the instruc- 



you have already received, you can run your en- 

 gine as successfuly as any one can wish as long as your 

 engine is in order, and. as I have just stated, it is not 

 > to get out of order, except from constant wear, and 

 this wear will appear in the boxes, journals and valves.
