Theabove Illustration pictures two new and now per reeled . inventions which are doubtless destined to.revolu- fUonTEe the work of farming, as well as threshing, - cross-country, freighting, or performing any service of present-day traction engines or most modern things in plows. Both plow and engine are the Invention or Fred A. Oerllng, a native son, born at Celllo, 12 miles above The Dalles, In 1873. For two years Mr. Oer llng has worked on his- Inventions with unflagging energy, to dlsoover now, be yond all doubt or peradventure, that he possesaea two machines that, when their merits are known, will be sought for not only by tillers of the soil, but likewise' by all that great number of persons In anywise employing traction engines In their business. . - .. ' The patented ' plow will, of course, first of all have the greatest Interest for the farmer. Its value will -be' some what accurately defined ' when It le known that it will plow the ground. either level or upon the hillside, at an expense of It cents per acre, which now costs $1 to $1 j)er acre. . Propelled by the traction engine, as shown in the cut, it will plow a strip It feet wide at a speed of four miles-per hour, or 140 acres each 24 hours, the engine generat ing electrto light, so that-with a night and day shift, one man at a time, its work can be continuously prosecuted. A three-ton machine will perform this service, the engine developing , 25-horse-power, the strength necessary to prope), a plow of this capacity. Simple as a button, so to speak, the plow Is a won der or mechanical genlua, and the day Is .not far distant when it will be tm- nlnyffi fin all farms. of .nn snasldss able magnitude in all . sections of the country. The first . completed model, now on exhibition at he Reterson Ma chinery company's salesroom, foot of Morrison street, excites great interest among persons engaged In farming. Its trial on a farm at Woodstock on Thurs day proved so wondrously successful that predictions of the coming demand for Mr. Gerling's Invention are most glowingly attractive. Every expecta tion of its originator was fulfilled and officers and stockholders of the com pany were splendidly delighted with Its performance. There was not - a hitch, not a blunder, -not a delay, not a mis take from the beginning to the end of the trial, and the enthusiasm of the In ventor wss only equaled by that of the spectators. Bo carefully had every piece of the valuable machinery been planned, that when It came to trial Its perfection In the most minute detail was Immediately apparent. The Oerllng gang plow has therefore made a record ai its initial trial .mat has at once placed It among the , most necessary farming utensils of the times. It bears, inaeea. to ine ordinary gang plow about the same relation the "rake" reaper once bore to the Improved self-binding harvester of today, A Wonderful Traction Bngine. The traction engine designed by Mr! Oerllng to operate his plow Is built on a principle so original and yet so simple as to astonish all persons In anywise acquainted with this class of machinery.

Strong "pulling" qualities In s traction has been tha aim of inventors from the beginning of their manufac ture, and to acoompllah this, heaviness in weight has heretofore been con sidered essential. Mr. Oerllng has re versed this Idea by manufacturing aa engine with a view to lightness in Itself. Its weight being added by its burden of freight. For example. In freighting grain to market Mr. Oerllng will load upon the deck of thla three-ton englna aay, eight tons of freight, the same as the sacks would be loaded upon the decks of the freight automobiles that race around the city. -This adds -eight tons to the weight of the engine and this makes It of equal pulling capacity to the 11-ton machines now in use. ' In other words, Mr. Geeltng' engine, with this elghftons of freight upon its deck, will pull just as many tons of freight behind It, loaded upon trailers, as would an engine of 11 tons composed entirely of steel and Iron, so that the trans portation of the eight tons loaded upon the deck of this new engine Is entirely without expense to Its owner. There fore this three-ton machine, for all pur poses for which It is employed, is the equal and will do the work of any IS, to 20-ton engine In present use. Its Irs Coupling1 System. If it be inquired what the pulling qualities of the engine are when it has no load upon Its deck the answer Is that the coupling rods that Join It to Its load are almost entirely responsible for Its strength. These rods couple from the front and beneath, so that ths heavier .t.T t ft-- -f 'y " osmisiira'a oamo will bid for popular 'favor.

'The fuel used In these engines Is dls illlatsd gasoline, which the manufac turers of the engine will bind them selves to deliver to all purchasers of their machines In the west at 12 H centa per gallon and the engine will consume of this one tenth of a gallon per horse power per hour. It can readily be figured, therefore, that the expense of feeding one of these machines is com paratively' lnalgnlfloant - as to that of horse food with snlmals In numbers necessary to accomplish equal results. expensive Tires. For soft ground broad adjuatlble tires are provided, and theae may be removed at will and" narrow ones substituted for hard ground.
