Since the withdrawal order wa

"there has been throughout the co"

RUSSIA ADOPTS ANOTHER MA.
CHINE.


Word has just been received at the
Chicago Office of the International Har-
vester Company of America that the
first American made gasoline tractor
has been sold in Russia. The sale was
made to Prince A. Lieven, who owns
large estates in Mesothen, by the Nc
Cormick general agent at Riga in
southeastern Russia. The adoption OF
the American tractor methods of farm
ing is Of particular interest, owing to
the fact that last year Russia, whose
population use rye almost entirely for
their own bread, jumped ahead Of
America in the production of it's wheat
crop. The widespread use of the
American tractor in Russia and Siberia
may ultimately solve the high price of
wheat in this country. The use of me-
chanical power on farms of the Ca
madam Northwest is doubling and
trebling the grain output of those re-
gions, and 1t looks as If the results
would be the same in bringing under
cultivation wide untitled areas in the
Russian empire. For many years
American-made harvesting machines
have been familiar sights in the grain
growing districts of the Muscovite en-
pire. In later years manure spreaders,
cream harvesters, and tillage imple-
ments weer adopted by the owners OF
the large farms; and an l H C manure
spreader may be seen working in front
of the palace of Prince Lieven. 1t is
said that this prince is most progress
i've in his farming, and owns and oper-
ates on his estate practically all the
implements and machines to be found
on an up-to-date modern American
farm.

1t is sincerely hoped by every good
citizen in Missouri that the Democrat.
ic candidates for state offices will
file contest proceedings because OF
the manifest frauds committee in st.
Louis city.
That wholesale frauds were com.
mited against the Democratic ticket
there is not the slightest doubt.
This is shown very clearly on the
face Of the returns. Although there
was an enormous registration in
St. Louis, and although the people Of
that city were excited and aroused as
never before, because of the pen
dency of the prohibition amendment,
yet the total vote polled was about
thirty thousand less than the number
registered, and was actually less than
the vote polled in the general election
Of two years ago. Can you believe
that the people Of St Louis were
more excited about Bryan and Tai,
two years ago than they were abou,
prohibition this yearp Only an idiot
would think so. Every Missouriar
with an atom Of intelligence knows
the contrary to be true.
According to all the st. Lous news
papers the voters Of St. Louis began
lining up before the polling places or

o'clock in the morning, so intense and

To Reform Paving Horses.

Bore a hole on each side Of the
stall walls a little in front Of where
the horses fore legs stand. Insert a
rawhide and wedge tightly, allowing
the ends to reach well out toward the
center Of the stall. When the horse
paws he will catch the rawhide with
his foot, and as he brings it back the
cord Of rawhide will hit him On the
other foot. A few experiences will
teach him that paving always brings
punishment, and he will stop it An.
other way is to fasten a chain of five
or six links just above the knee with
a tight strap. If the chain is made
to stay on the front side of the leg ii
will stripe him every time he brings
his foot back, and he soon stop the

Deer" Beats Up a Hunter.

ming away from man who mistook
him for deer, keeping out of range
until the pursuer's rife was emptied,
and then getting his satisfaction by
giving the near-sighted nimrod
trouncing, was the experience of
Nathan Good, a claim holder living
about eighteen miles from this city.
Good had been out rounding up
some of his stock, and, not being
mounted, was late in getting home.
AS he went over a small hill his can
vas coat and dark trousers against
the dead grass color Of the surround
ing territory made the hunter think
Good was deer, for which he had
been looking all day. He opened
fire. Good lodged and started to
run, and still the hunter kept firing,
and pursued. He discharged his rifle
sixteen times, but, being poor
marksman, did no damage.
Good says he kept track of the
times the man shot, and when the
sixteenth bullet struck the ground
near him he started in for his share of
the fun. He charged upon the hunt
er, who was too surprised to attempt
to make an escape. Good did not
wait for explanation, but started in to
fight He pounded the man on the
head with his fists, and, according to
his own story, kicked him several
times, and wound up by taking the
rifle and hammering the frozen
ground until the firearm had been
put out of commission.

Advertising Public Sales.


wnst-a for The Times by Col. c. E Robbins
There are no men who can use adj
vertising more effectively than the
farmers who are holding public sales,
it must also be said that there are few
men who lose so much money
through failure to appreciate the value
Of advertising and the necessity of
spending money for it. II is true that
sales are advertised better than they
were few years ago, but it is also
true that some farmers are so averse
to letting loose of a little money for
advertising, that they indulge in false
economy and greatly reduce their
receipts on sale day.
The average farm sale should be
advertised to the extent of SIS to SIS,
and there are many that could
spend twice as much and have it far
more than returned on sale day, yet
there are men who expect to sell sew
eral thousands of dollars worth OF
property, who think they have adver-
tised literally, when they have stuck
up a few bills and and handed out a
few cards.
They save few dollars by leaving
the newspapers alone, but one addi-
tional buyer would more than pay for
all the advertising, and the average
newspaper is read by hundreds of
prospective buyers, whom the bills or
cards never reach. That the news
papers are the most valuable medium
for advertising the public sale will be
admitted by anyone who gives the
matter a little thought. The cards
and bills are all right and should by
all means be used, but the territory
they reach is limited.
Ii no advertising at all were done,
even if the bills and cards were not
printed, there would be some of the
near neighbors that would know you
were going to have a sale, but it is
the newspaper that really gives the
public sale the most valuable adver-
Using.
The farmer thinks nothing of driv-
ing Is or 20 miles to a sale if in
reading over the list of stock offered
he sees some horses or cattle that he
thinks would suit him, and it is these
farmers that live several miles away
from the sale that would not learn Of
it from the bills, but must depend on
the newspapers for information con.
corning it, He sits in his home and
reads in his paper description Of the
property that some one considerable
distance away is offering and makes
I'D his mind to attend. And that
kind of a visitor to a public sale is
worth a. dozen, who came for the
purpose of visiting and with no def
mite intention of buying, unless things
are extremely cheap. The farmer
who is going to have a sale, should
look we'll to the advertising PROPOSE
ton. Far more money is lost by those
holding public sales by advertising
too little, than is wasted by advertis-
ing too much or injudiciously.'
