By using line shaft and loose drum

the work very satisfactorily and the

the man on the load.

whether you pay $50 or 5000 for your

The character and personnel of this
years meeting of the National Irriga-

distinctly striking. Constructive states

of the best known and ablest men in
public life, from every part of the
United States. These men take the
deepest personal and patriotic interest
in the solution of the problems in

described as in itself an epitome of
all that is best and most potential in

GASOLINE ON THE FARM.

AS the farmer figures up at the end
of the year he will find that his ex-
penses have been high; the hired
mans wages and the day help have
taken a large chunk out of his profits
1t behooves the farmer to look
around and figure out some way so
that his income will be larger and his
farm kept in a more fertile condition
This means to keep more stock and
to sell more crops from the farm in
the shape of eggs, poultry, pork, NUT
ton and beef. 1t has been demon
strated beyond a doubt that much
more good is gotten out of grain by
feeding it ground, but heretofore it
has been expensive to haul the grain
from two to six miles, pay big toll,
and waste valuable time. This has
kept many farmers from feeding
ground feed. The advent of the prac-
tical, portable gasoline engine is 60
he applies the same amount of money
that he pays his hired man in one
season toward buying three or four
horsepower gasoline engine, buzz saw,
feed grinder, he would find himself
in considerably better shape to face
the farm labor question and besides
make money in the first year over
the cost of an outfit that will last him
for a number of years.
The engine is always ready. For
instance separate your cream with
separator, and enough gain can be
made out of the milk by Swimming
this way and feeding to the calves
and pigs to pay for all the gasoline
used. Then hitch it to your pump
and it pumps enough water to last all
day while you are eating your break
fast. Then take your engine to the
woodshed and saw enough wood in
a few hours to last you for month.
Now take your power to the granery,
grind your feed, cut the fodder, then
to the house and churn, and then run
the washing machines. Thus it will
go. After the farmer has an engine
it will do the work that he little thinks
of now and he will find it an advant-
age on every turn. There are other

Complying to the request of one of
our subscribers for published informa-
ton concerning the Occur d'Alene
Reservation Information Agency of
Spokane, The Ranch Is pleased to
state that the controlling powers of
the Occur d'Alene agency are res
ponsible parties, and that the prin-
cipal owner is said to be Mr.. T. J.
Mahoney, of Tekoa, Washington. Mr..
e. E. Martin is secretary and treas
urer. Responsible sources in the
city of Spokane place this company
upon a thoroughly reliable basis.
Based upon the letters concerning this
company, which The Ranch has in its
possession, it is but fair to state that
these people are spoken very highly
of, and that they will undoubtedly
carry out any contract which they
undertake.
