About this book
Farm Mechanics, Machinery and Its Use to Save Hand Labor on the Farm, is a work by Herbert A. Shearer. The title page says the book includes tools, shop work, driving and driven machines, farm waterworks, and care and repair of farm implements. The preface says more mechanical knowledge is required on the farm than in any other line of business.
The text says carpenter tools on a farm are not numerous, but they should have a regular place, and laborers on the farms should be encouraged to keep the tools where they belong. A figure caption says Monkey-Wrenches are the handiest of all farm wrenches, but they were never intended to hammer with. The text says the quickest saw frames oscillate, and that oscillating frames work easier than sliding frames. The text says the bottom of a tank is dug deep enough to hold sewerage from two to four feet in depth.
