The following interesting article oil
power blowing in small flelds IS re
D nted from Horse, Truck and Trac
ter. l.. W. Ellis of the department
OF agriculture, is the writer. He Is
an authority on the subject and his
conclusions will doubtless be read
with interest by the large proportion
of Motor Field readers who are In
ferosted In agricultural pursuits.
Many progressive farmers have no
really clear ideas as to the advantag-
es and disadvantages of power farm
ing Nor can we blame them, for
power farming Is reyolutionary-it
can't be grasped all at once.
The first thought always seems to
be-uot whether the outfit will pay,
but-a question as to how anything
80 big and awkward and ungainly as
a traction engine and plows can turn
around on an ordinary field. All OF
which. analysed, usually shows that
steam threshlng outfit, and associates
the bulky separator with the engine.
Or that he has In mind q string of |
ordinary gang plows, rather than
compact, modern engine gang. Or |
that he has never seen an up-to date
gas tractor and an engine gang at
work.
Now traction blowing Is practicable
in fields as small as ten or twelve
acres; and by that we mean that good
time can be made. Now says some
one, that's all right for big fields
where they can drive out on the road
20 turn around but not for fenced
fields" That Is common verdict,
but Just wait bit. Did you ever hear

nois is the only man in the house OF
representatives who chews gum, and
he cheWs it with remarkable avid

conference of Iowa physicians had
warned him that he must either stop
smoking or fill grave. They sug-
gested chewing gum as substitute
for my Lady Nicotine.
The only time he has smoked in ten
years was On a hot day last summer
while out campaigning. He stopped to
talk with an old farmer who was puff
ing at a corncob pipe. The smoke got
into Representative Prouty's nose, and
as soon as he reached town he rushed
into his office, grabbed his secretary
by the arm, and almost shouted:

Ashland, Ore.-The most thrilling
bear story that has leaked out in
Southern Oregon for some time comes
from Jack Bailey and Fred Dodge. 1t
Is SO remarkable that the boys insist
on changing Jacks name to Davy
Crockett and Fred's name to Kit Car
son.
Jack and Fred heard that bear was
devastating the country over near
Gregory and snorting for fight they
went over to see about it. The snow

bacco and grub.
They found the BEARS trail all right
and followed it in the soft snow for
eighty rods. Suddenly it disappeared
no bear, no trail, no cave, no hollow
log, no nothing. The trail apparently
ended in deep snow. Apparently the
bear was travelling by airship or had
drowned in the snow and sunk.
Just about that time Fred noticed
ludL JHeFe was a nOle III Lne snow
where q new trail began. With fear
and trembling and both guns at full
cock they got down and looked into
the hole. 1t led into tunnel in the
snow that ran back under a lot Of
bushes which held the heavy layer of
snow off the ground.
After consultation the boys figured
that as the trail appeared at both ends
Of the tunnel the bear probably wasn't
in it, and they moved on along the gut
ter in the snow for another half mile.
Here they found another tunnel en-
trance into which the trail disappear
ed. They searched for half day, but
found no outlet or other end to this
tunnel.
The boys drew straws to see which
should crawl into the tunnel and scare
the bear out. The lot fell to Fred, and
he prepared for the job. Laying off
his snowshoes and clinging his trusty
bowie knife in his best set of teeth
he entered the tunnel. Jack took up
his station on slight rise of ground
beside a small fir tree and kept a
sharp lookout for the bear to come

Ran Completely Over Them.

browsing out through the top of the
snowdrift, with Fred clinging to his
tail
While he was waiting he lifted one
foot to knock the ashes from his pipe
and the other foot broke through the
snow. He was standing directly on top
OF the tunnel. AS he went down his
free snow shoe caught on snag Of
the fir tree and Jack hung suspended
head downward in the tunnel with
snow all about him. Fred had just
about ciawled up to the point in the
tunnel and heard the commotion, Of
course he thoght it was the bear and
fastened to the fray.
Fred grabbed Jack by what he
thought was the bears tail and Jack
of course grabbed Fred in a death
grapple, thinking he was the bear.
The tunnel was now so full of snow
that neither could see and they put
up a fight then and there that will go
down in history as the gem of the
Siskiyous. About that time the snag
broke and Jack fell into the tunnel.
Jack still thought Fred was the bear,
and hung on for dear life.
While Fred was trying to spit the
snow cut of his mouth and introduce
himself. the real bear-which had
been asleep mile and half down
the tunnel-heard the commotion and
walked up. In it's haste to get out Of
the tunnel and get back home before
Its wife walked up and missed it, it
ran completely over Fred and Jack
and knocked two more panels of the
tunnel down on their heads. In the
mix-up the boys were Jared loose
from each other and stood up, but by
the time they had clawed the snow on
themselves so they were recognizable.
1t was dusk and the bear was on the
home stretch over near the Hungry
Creek mines, seventeen miles away.

She offered no resistance, but sat
motionless, her face turned away.
Yet she knew she trembled from head
to foot, the reaction mastering her. A
red tongue of flame seemed to slit the
outside blackness; there was single
sharp report, echoing back from the
bluff, but no sound of the striking bull

glimpse of her face, as she drew back,
startled.

shall we do?"

hand, confident in his judgment.
Those fellows will not attempt to
rush US again tonight. You must
keep cool, for we shall need all our
wits to get away. An Indian never
risks night assault. unless it Is a
surprise. He wants to see what he is
up against. Those bucks have got all
they want of this outfit; they have
no reason to suppose any of US were
hit. They are as much afraid as we
are. but when 1t gets daylight, and
they can see the shape we're In, then
they'll come yelling"
But they can lie out there in the

shot was aimed at us, wasn't it,"
II reckon 1t was, but it never got

Indian ever hits anything with a gun
it's going to be by pure accident" He
stared out of the window. They're
