HORSES SHOW DECLINE IN II S. Homes In thin country reached their maximum In 1910 and since thou have been gradually decreasing This iclates to tie. supply of horses ou farms and ranches, tho gradual docreasc of which In attributed to motor vehicles. That tho decline of the horse on farms In not due merely to tho uso of passenger automobiles Is Indicated by a survey recently undertaken by approximately 3G,000 crop reporter In nil sections of tho country. More than 49,000 farmers who uso motor trucks on their farms. In many cases tho Introduction or a truck on a farm Indicates provision for Increased hauling ruthor than an actual reduction In tho number of horses ustfd. Tho estimated number of horses on farms and ranches January 1, was 21,109,000, a decrease of 373,000 head, or 1.7 per cent, In a jjonr. Tlio total value of these animals this year Is estimated at 11,992,542,000 as against $2,111,897,000 Inst year, an average value per head for horses of all ages of 194.39, compared with 198.15 a year ago, Tho average value per head 10 years ago was $108.03. A TKHJCTI) TO tiii: cow Most potent of all single Influ ences In tho building of thin, tho mightiest nation In history, Is tho cow. Hor sons drew tho plows which first cultivated tho land of the new world; hauled to market tho products or tho fields, and with slow energy, moved tho chatties and household goods beyond- thu mountains to now homes In tho farther west. They supplied tho beet which Is thu food of Anglo-Saxon, a race that was never conquered since his tory began. They furnished tho shoes of tho pioneers who trod tho unknown wilds and mado of them tho farmsteads and cities of our present enlightenment. They gavo tho clothes and robes to protect tho pioneer against tho destroying blast ot winter and mado commerce posslblo beforo tho railroad was. They covered tho chair upon which ho sat, filled tho mattress upon which ho slept and glued together tho furniture ho used. Tho old cow Is tho mother ot tho whole bovlno and foster mother of half tho human race. From tho roadside weed sho manufactures tho most nourishing of human foods. Sho Is tho ready aid ot tho farmer. Central Oregon Needs Better Farm Implements V ' PIONEER GARAGE "You Can't Get Away from It" says the Good Judge A little of the Real Tobacco Chew grves more genuine satisfaction than the big chew of the old kind. Saves money, too- because this class of tobacco lasts much longer. The rich to bacco taste stays right with it. Any man who uses the Real Tobacco Chew will tell you that. Put Up In RIGHT CUT is a short W-B CUT tho pet or tho rich man and tho over present help ot tho poor Sho Is the economist ot tbo people and thu conservator ot their rcsourcs. She partakes ot tho gran ot tho field and leaves the farm richer for her presence. As nbo helped to develop tho farm from the wilderness and ns she ato of Its first fruits, so will sho renew tho Ilfo of tho soil and make a still greater agriculture possible. In all our history the cow has been man's closest friend and bene factor. Upon her products aro built the great business interests which center In tho stock yards, thu creameries, the shoo factories, the harness shops and the mills. Without her Chicago would be a village and Kansas a prairie waste. Franklin!
