Fourth, the gaurds should be

is discoved it may be hammered

of malleable iron. The align-
ment of guards can be tested by
sighting down their points or
under the ledger plates. If the
mower leaves a long streak of
stubble and the knife is tn good

gum which clogs the knife and
makeu its action sluggish. If,
after a round or so, a little water
is poured on the knife it will
make it much easier to run.
Sixth, the ball and socket ad-
justment in the knife head
should be kept quite 6nug. If it
is allowed to become loose an
oblong groove will be worn in
the socket, which will cause the
mower to give forth a clacking
sound and make it cut poorly.
Seventh, most machines have
ball thrust hearings in the big
bevel gear. The play Bhould be
taken up once or twice a year,
adjusting the teeth of the big
bevel gear so that they almost
touch at the bottom of the teeth
of the bevel pinion.
It is well to lay in repairs for
the crankpinor pitman bearing,
as one or two of these are usual-
ly worn out in a season. A most
excellent thing, which will
make this bearing last much
longer, is a spring grease cup
which will force a steady supply
of grease into the bearings and
keep them cool. Fluid oil ia a
poor lubricant, as it will not
stay in this bearing.—[Henry L.
