WINONA RANCH IMPORTS E INCREA8ED EFFICIENCY OF FARM WORK WITH HORSES. (Prepared by the United States rxpart BMnt of Agrleultnr.) In solving farm-labor difficulties, more horses, larger Implements and power machinery play an Important part. If two horses, which have been driven singly by two men, are com bined Into a team driven by on man, the efficiency of the horses Is as great er greater than before, and one man's time Is saved. The two-horse turning plow is In eomomn use In all parts of the country but except on small farms It nearly always will be profitable to re place the two-horse plow by a larger one. Four horses can pull a two-bottom plow as easily as two can pull a single bottom of corresponding size. The two-bottom plow enables a farm er to do what Is generally the heav iest work of the year with half the help that would be required If single bottom plows were used. In hot weath er or where the plowing Is hard, five or even tlx horses will sometimes be Descsssry to keep the plow moving steadily and at a good rate of speed. Plowing With Tractors. 'Experienced tractor users say they eon do nst as good plowing with s tractor as they did with horses, or even better, and a three or four-plow tractor enables a farmer who has more plowing than can be done with the largest horse-drawn plow further to Increase the amount of work which one man can do. One man with a three- plow tractor usually covers a little more) ground a day than three men with single plows, and one man with a four-plow tractor does more than two men with two-bottom horse-drawn plows. The tractor works Just as well In hot weather, and If desired can be worked 24 hours day with two or three shifts of men big advan tage over horse-drawn outfits. The spike-tooth harrow Is an Imple ment of comparatively light draft, and sometimes It Is possible to put an ex tra section on the average harrow, thereby Increasing considerably the) ground covered without the addition of any horses to the team. On farm where two two-horse harrows are used It Is frequently possible to combine the two harrows, hitch the four horses as one team, and operate It with one man. thereby releasing the second man for other work. Use of Disk Harrow. The disk harrow, both single and double, Is found In a wide range of widths, and for from two to eight horses. The use of a disk harrow drawn by two horses Is not advisable unless only two horses are available for power and the amount of disking to be done Is small. A four-horse disk does twice as much work ss a two horse disk, without the same expendi ture of man labor. The use of a gang plow drawn by fonr or more horses, and of big Im plements for harrowing, rolling and dragging, enables one man to prepare for planting In a given time practically twice as much land as would be possl ble -If he used the traditional two- horse method.

Two sows, the one sired by Epochal and out of a daughter of Old Sally, the Imported sow . and foundation female of the whole Epo chal herd of Berkshire, the other a daughter of the champion boar of the British empire. Imported some years ago, and a boar, a son of the famous Epochal, the $50,000 boar heading the herd of the Gossard Breeding Estates at Martinsville, Ind.. have been secured, the boar at a purchase price of $1,000. These animals are owned Jointly by Win ona Ranch, Homewood Farm and River Bank Farm, all of Josephine county. To the fine type of American stock sired by Laurel Champion the sire of more prize winner than any other living Berkshire boar, and by Artrul Leader, the on of the Grand hampion boar at the Panama Pa cific exposition, the senior and Junior herd sire at Winona, these English animals will bring new strength added prolificacy, uniform growth smoothness and pork qualities. The Epochal litters, with their average of eight uniformly good pigs raised to maturity, will prove a boon to the farmer and breeder who has been puzzled over small Utter and runt. In the climate of southern Oregon, considered to be more like that of England than any other part of the t'nlted States, these British animals should, do particularly well. With the careful feeding and Judicious mating that characterizes the Win ona operations, the results of their importation should be uneqiialed In constructive breeding.

"The leaders of Brest parties of the relchstag are members ot this government. In future no govern ment can take office or continue In office without possessing the confi dence of the majority of the relch stag. The responsibility ot the chancel lor of the empire to the representa tives of the people is being legally developed and safeguarded. The first act of th new government has been to lay before the relchstag a bill to alter the constitution of the mnln so that consent of the repre gentatlve of the people 1 required for decision a to war and peace. "The permanence of the new sys tem of government Is, however, guar- tutlon of the empire so that c cmr anteed not only by constltuttonal safezuards. but also by the unshak able determination of the German people, whose vast majority Btands behind these reforms and demands heir enerfretlc continuance. "The Question of the president as to with whom he and the govern ments associated against Germany are dealing, therefore is answered in a clear, unequivocal manner by the atatement that the offer of peace and an armistice comes from a govern ment which (free of) any arbitrary or Irresponsible Influence Is support ed by the approval of an overwhelm ing majority of the German people. .
