fason now and then for a thorough overhauling, cleaning, greasing, or oiling, 
Md even painting. ‘There is many a wet day or odd time when much of this 
Md of work can be done. When new handles are got for hoes, axes, &c.,

' aN 4 enormous increase of comfort in work. Good work cannot be done with 
| , “implements, and there is no reason why people should be every now and 
vl confronted with the necessity for purchasing some new implement when a 
ia ‘ care will prevent this. Neither is it fair to condemn the makers of 
Plements because their machines and tools will not stand the unnatural abuse 
‘nd neglect we often subject them to.
