CO\EB EXHAUST STACK
Are you remembering to co
ver the exhaust stack on your
tractor when it stands out in
the elements?
Better keep in mind that
leaving the stack uncovered
may allow moisture to enter
the engine through the valve,
causing valve stem corrosion
which can result in sticky val
ves
A tin can will do the 30b
adequately and it may save you
extensive engine repairs.

that floors and stalls are kept
as clean as possible at all tim
es.
If, m spite of these precau
tions, symptoms of Mastitis ap
pear, here are some points to
remember to control and eli
minate the disease before it
