The use Of a Golfer reduces the draft materially
particularly tough soils, clover sod and the like.
Some farmers claim that the only frstclass
blowing that be done is with the walking
pillow, but have seen of the best plowipss
done with sulky plow There is not much Or
ference in the draft. sulky pillow carrying a.
man will be about easy on team as walkingJ
because the friction of the mold board of tbf

The draft of the walking pillow depends largely

very little attention from the plowman. l have
seen the men follow the pillow round after round
without even touching the handle, except at the,

Another important thing in blowing is to hav9
the width of the furrow just right. If the ploWl
is set to take a larger land than it can turn
over properly it will leave much vegetation unj
covered, and the field viii be ridgy. The plov
should be set to exactly cut and cover all that

it should set exactly level
No man is a good farmer unless he is first Of
all good plowman Upon the skill with which
he plows his fields depends to a considerably
extent the facility with which he can cultivate
his crop, and, in fact, it's yield
The question of deep or shallow blowing is one
which must be studied by every man, and
adapted to the needs of his soil and his crop.
Deeply plowed soil contains moisture longet

BERLIN (by wireless II Sayville), =,
Dec. 9.-"If our enemies AXE peace
proposals compatible with Germany's
dignity and safety, then shall al
ways be ready to discuss IT, m," said
the imperial chancellor, DR.. IN Beth
mann-Hollweg, in addressing !e reich
stag today.
The chancellor made it c,e2r that
in his opinion it would be fC ~ for
Germany to propose peace o.; long
as in the countries of our enem. the
guilt and ignorance of statesmC2 are
etangled with confusion of public ii
ion.
Conscious of her military successes,
the chancellor said Germany declines
responsibility for a further continu
alton of the war. Germany, he de-
clared could not be charged with the
purpose of fighting to make further
conquests.
'%The war can be terminated only by
a peace which will give the certitude
that war will not return" the chan
cellor said 1--WE all agree to that"
He asserted Germany's food supplies
were sufficient and that her immense
stores of copper were adequate for
many years.
The address of DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, which has been awaited with
extraordinary interest, was made in
response to the Socialist interpella-
ton:
"[s the imperial chancellor ready
to give information as to the condi-
to enter into peace negotiations? ?" In
his reply he said:
"As long as in the countries of our
enemies the guilt and ignorance of
statesmen are entangled with confu-
sion of public opinion, it would be fol
ly for Germany to make peace propos-
ais, which would not shorten, but
would lengthen the duration of the
war. First the masks must be torn
from their faces.
"At present they speak of war of
anihilation against us. We have to
take this fact into account. Theoret-
ical arguments for peace or proposals
of peace will not advance us, will not
bring the end nearer
"If our enemies make peace pro
posals compatible with Germany's
dignity and safety, then we shall al
ways be ready to discuss them. Fully
conscious of our mistaken military
successes, we decline responsibility
for continuation of the misery which
hn1 a
world. No one can say that we con-
tfnue the war because we still desire
to conquer this or that country as a
guarantee"
In these words the chancellor with
impassioned voice stated the position
of the German government on the
question of peace His remarks were
cheered with great enthusiasm.
When DR.. Won HOllweg
rose to reply to the Interpolation,
presented by DR.. Scheidemann, So
cialist leader, silence fell over the
house but was soon broken by man
ifestations of approval. Several
timeb the deputies and galleries in
terr,lpted him with cheers.
DR.. Won Bethmann-HOllweg began
by saying that in the countries at
war with Germany there had been
much discussion of the Socialist in
terpellation, and that the knowledge
that peace was to be discussed in
the reichstag had been a source OF
satisfaction to these countries. This
was incomprehensible, in view OF the
success won in the campaign against
Scrvia which opened the road to
Germany's Turkish allies and threat
