But men accustomed to handling
oxen know that sturdy pair of them,
properly trained and driven, will ac-
complish as much in day of hard
plowing or other heavy work, as the
average span of horses. One of the
active supporters of the back-to the
OK movement Is Bert Phillips of Han
over, Mass, who has l>4ge agricul-
tural interests. He argues that it a
farmer should keep a pair Of steers
coming on each year and turn off a
pair every season. he would be max
ing money, while getting his work
done at low cost. Oxen can draw as
large loads as horses, can be kept
thriving on cheaper feed and are
easier to handle.
Mr.. Phillips says that in his own
case he has bought steers one season,
kept them working hard and sold
them the next year to the butcher for
more than he paid for them. 1t isn't
necessary that oxen should be the
snail-like. numbering animals many
persons consider them to be. II they
are properly trained they will walk
almost as fast as horse. Mr.. Phillips
tells of oxen that have been used in
connection with horses in hauling
lumber. and says that the former have
| been only short distance behind the
latter in getting home with their load
of logs from a trip of several miles.
In presenting their case for the
oxen enthusiasts point out that these
animals, phlegmatic though they may
appear, in reality have stronger
feeling for their driver than horses,
and seem to know him better. No
good OK driver thinks of going across

security so long that his return is in
the nature of an innovation, and
farmers as a class are bit reluctant
about adopting innovations. The OK

making his appeal for re-entry into

DENVER. Aug. l6.-Excavations
now being made Of ruins of the San
Juan National Forest at Chimney
Rocks near Pagosa Springs. Colorado
are proving Of great interest. The
ruins are doubtless the oldest in the

the San Juan Forest was granted the

Evidence shows that the ruins
cover a large area extending through

Colorado from Pagosa Springs west
to the Utah State line and north as
far as Grand Junction. both within
and adjacent to the San Juan and
