ported a bull named Rufus that cost
him $500 and he has several Durham
and Hereford bulls that each cost from
$1,000 to $4,000. At one time he i'm
ported a flock of $50 head of Lincoln
sheep, for which he paid $3.50, 900 in
gold, and he has sold one bull that
brought $1,000. He raises only pure
bred cattle and sheep and has on his
estancla 500 pedigreed shOrthOrn cattle,
40 shorthOrn stock bulls and 10000
pure bred Lincoln sheep.
The CODO estate has so Wiudmills to
water the stock, and it kills 2 bullOcks
and 20 sheep every day to feed the 200
men employed upon it.
In ChapHdmaIaI Estate.
Another big show estate is La Chap
admalal about eight hours by railway
from BuenOs Aires, near Mar del
Plata, the most popular summer resort
of the Argentine. 1t runs along the
extends about ten miles back from the
sea, being in the shape of a pear with
its head on the beach. This property
belongs TO Senior Martinez de HoZ, who,
with his mother. has several hundred
thousand acres in three or four differ
ent estates One of his estancias is all
in alfalfa, and upon it 5000 steers are
kept the year round, an average of
600 being sold every month.
As to Chapadmalal, it is something
ing noted for its prize stock and for
the fine way in which they are kept.
With the exception of about 5000 acres
devoted to grain, it is all in pasture,
being divided up into camps. which are
in turn Subdivided into paddOcks or
fields. There is a driveway forty five
feet wide between the fields. and this
space has been so planted with trees
that every field is surrounded by shade

$4,000 Durham cows, $500 horses and
mares, and $4,000 sheep. The sheep are
sheared by machinery, and the arrange
ments are such that the whole $4,000
can be shOrn in two weeks. The owner
looks upon his present flock as small
one, and it is only half the number he
had a few years ago.
Senior Martinez de Hoz is a great
lover of fine horses, and he breeds race
horses here which he takes to London
and runs there. He has a hunting box
and residence in London, and at one
time he ran a fashionable coach, keep
ing from 40 to so Argentine bred horses
on the road. After a time the fad
palled upon him. and he sold out his
horses at auction. They brought an
average of $3.50 apiece. He has now
on his estate near Mar del Plata 100
pure bred hackney mares, 60 pure bred
Shire mares and 16O mares used to
breed polo ponies.
Gen. ROcn's Fine Property.
Among the other famous estates are
those of the late Gen. Boca. VINO was
formerly president of the republic. He
has one at La Larga, a nights ride
from BuenOs Aires, where his magnifi-
cent home is surrounded by a thou
sand acre park, containing hundreds of
thousands of trees. the most of which
are only ten years old.
The La Larga ranch comprises 40 900
acres, and of this 10000 are in crops.

This park consists of a eucalyptus
forest, the trees of which are 100 feet
high and as big around at the base as
hogshead. There are other trees scat
tered among them, and here and there
are great patches of wide open space
covered with grass all high as your knee.
Here stream winds about through the
forest, and there you find a lake over
which hang great clumps of bamboos.
Some OF the avenues are lined with
palms of many varieties.
This part Of the estate looks like a
great English park There are more
than $50 acres in trees alone, and all
of these have been planted by Senior

with its branches, was fully so feet
in diameter. It was brought as a
spring by the father of the family
when he came from Europe about so
years ago. 1t was one of the first
trees planted upon the estate, and be-
fore that time the country was nothing
but a plain covered with grass.
Trees Are Everywhere.
Now there are trees everywhere.
They are planted i'm the fields as shade
for the animals, 10000 new trees being
set out every year. Among these trees

are something like 200 on the estate,

Herr Won Heydebrand leader of the
Conservative party in Germany. in an
address which has just reached Ger

as saying;
1T is a matter Of wonder to many
how it has become possible for Ger

there is feeling that German diplo-

T A PLATA, Argentina, Feb. b
Have You ever heard OF San Juan?
- 1t is the famous estancla belong

which was bred the Shorthorn bull

paid for any bull anywhere upon earth,
and it gives one some idea Of the value

and this is divided up into fields OF 100
acres or more, upon which are now feed
ing some of the finest bred cattle of
the world.
Foresight of Its Founder.
The founder of the estate, senior
Perevra. was the first to realize the inn
Dortance of high -class pedigreed stock
and he began to found his herd of Dur
hams as far back as 1857, when he i'm
ported the bull Defiance and the COW
Coral
The next wear he bought the famous
bull Don Juan and the COW Dahlia, and
later on other shorthOrns which stand
high in stock breeding history. He has
Herefords with pedigrees which date
back for so years, since he imported
their ancestors from England, and he
has Lincoln and Rambouillet sheep that
lave won silver cups all over this coun.
try at the great fairs.
Has 5000 Blooded Cows
The estate now has on it more than
5000 cows of fine blood and hundreds
of pedigreed bulls. It is used largely
as a breeding establishment to supply
the other great ranches belonging to the
family. where there are altogether some
thing like $4,000 cows, and from which
are sold every year $4,000 fat steers.
Is Magnificent Estate.
San Juan is one of the most beautiful
estates in this land of millionaire farm

The United States government
for the week ending October 9,
1915, collected a revenue of $3,-
691, 113 on $32, ,364, $50 worth of
imports entering the thirteen
principal customs districts of this
country. This is an average ad
valorem rate of duty of ia per
cent, which indicates that a larGe e
percentage of imports are coming
in free, but the cost of living
does not decrease. The annual
average ad valorem rate of duty
during the last year of the Re-
publican tariff law was 17.6 per
cent, and the Republican Secre-
tary of the Treasury was not
forced to the extremity OF pad
ding the daily treasury state
ment in order to make a good
showing, which the present Sec
retary is now doing, Labor was
universally employed, and Amer
lean industries were adequately
protected.

Endorsement of the Sprague law is
a vote for the Republican protective
tariff policy and vote against war
taxes" which are being collected by
the Wilson administration. Even
though the stamp taxes are effec-
tive, the present national administra-
tion is now wrestling with another
$25, 100000 annual deficit in revenues.
The protective tariff policy is favor,
ed by large majority of the people
OF the county. This is pointed out in
an editorial from the Marion Star:
Majority Favors Protection.
Many times it has been pointed out
that in 1912 the Republican and Pro-
gressive platforms declared in favor
OF the protective principle and that tee
candidates of those two parties polled
a total OF 7,607,735 votes. while the
Democratic candidate polled only
6,290.S1S. 1t is notorious thar the Dem
ocratic candidate received hundreds
Of thousands of votes of stamch Re-
publicans whose course was deter
mined by the feeling reused by strife
within the party.
But there are some other figures,
not so well known, that throw light
on the real strength of protection SEN
timent Woodrow Wilson had a ma
jority vote in only fourteen states.
with total of 152 electoral votes.
The combined Republican and Pro
gressive votes constituted a majority
In thirty-four states whose electoral
vote aggregated 379. If, therefore, the
enactment Of o tariff law had been
determined by the actual vote as cast,
the Republican tariff principle would
have been maintained by an electoral
vote of two and one-half to one.
The fact was pointed out by Sena-
tor Warren of Wyoming during the
tariff debate in 1913. Senator Warren
also presented figures showing that
the twelve southern states and Ari-
zono and Oklahoma, which gave a
majority for the Democratic. party
have q total population of 26,543.8 .82&
while the thirty.four northern and
western states, which gave a majority
for the two protection tariff parties,
have total population Of 65,O97 1853.
The people of this country were In
favor of protection IN 1912, and, after
two years experience with a tariff
for revenue only they are more
strongly in favor of protection not
withstanding. the fact that the dire re-
suits OF Democratic tariff policies were
prevented by the outbreak of the Eu-
rOpean war.

If, as some people think, a gen.
eral tariff revision is undertaken
by the next session of Congress,
it will be the first time in politi-
cal history that the same poIiti-
cal party, in control Of two sue
cessive Congresses, has done such
a thing. 1t will also be the first
time that a political barty has had
to make confession of it's failure
as a tariff-maker.
