Not so many years ago the man who was a tradesman had served an apprenticeship and was generally a good all around workman. Now everything has taken a turn toward specializing. Go where you will an i you will find in all maaufneturing plants men who are specialists in the production of one item of the general output. In the main this is all very well, but in some way the idea is certain to be car ried to excess and result in a manner little expected. Go into the large printing es tablishments of the cities and in every Wartment of the plant you will find specialists. Very few boys or young men are learning the business and those who are will be found specializing. This is all very well so far as the cities are concerned- But it does not result in good printers of the general utility type such as are needed in country offices. In the country towns few, very few, boys are learning the printing trade, or any other like trade for that matter. The time is not far distant when the country offices are to suffer in consequence of this indifference toward the bus- mess. Everywhere we find the tend ency in s'reat r or lesser degree is toward higher education. This is all very well, but the time when we can dispense with "drawers of water and hewers of wood" is not yet. This is a com mercial and industrial as well as a money age. The two f irmer make the latter possible. Trades and tradesmen are necessary for the life of the nation and the ganeral development of the c untry. Our schools and colleges seem to teach too little of the practical in life, that is, the majority of our institutions of learning. The Oreg n Agncubural College is becoming more and more an in dustrial institution as it instructs in pi'oressions and trades which area necessity to the people. But most institutions of learning run to seed on art and Latin all very well to know, but in many cases not so profitable to their masters as shoe-blacking would be. It is a remarkable fact, but true just the same, that the ma jority of our great business men enjoyed but meager educational opportunities during their youth. Statistics prove that a majority of men who engage in business fail. The man following a busi ness career successfully is an able man regardless of his edu cational qualifications. The greatest work before our educational institutions today is teaching economics and commer cialism, also instructing the youth in the trades. We must have leaders in business enter prises and commerce and it is re quired that they be better trained than their fathers, for the demands are greater than in past years and are daily becoming more exacting. The capacity to keep books or successfully fill a clerkship will not do for the fu ture. These commercial and business leaders must be espec ially trained for the part they are to play in the affairs of the nation. Where are they to re ceive their training? The col leges must meet the requirement. It seems that Or-'gon is about to furnish food for international mastication. It is said there may have been trouble in Woodburn between seven sons of Mikado land and untold numbers of bravest. No- body hurt yet.

Byron nunter of this city, a man of wide experience: wilb arming topics, has issued a bulle tin that contains much valuable information for farmers, Mr. Hunter's position is that of as sistant agriculturist, farm man agement investigations, TJ. S. de partment of agriculture, by which it will readily be seen that he is in authority on the subjects treat d in his bulletin. As Benton county tarmers are more or less laminar with the silo, Mr. Hun ter's article on silos is here given tor the benefit of the farmers who tnay possibly not obtain a copy of .be bulletin. It says: That the silo should have a ery general use in western Ore gon and western Washington, not only lor the preservation of corn but for many other crops as well, ought to be apparent from an understanding of ihe climatic conditions of the region. Most of the hay crops are ready to cut luring the month of June, while -pring rains frequently continue until the first ot July. It will thus be seen that haymaking or dinarily occurs at a time when jood weatner cannot always be -elied up in. It meadows are pastured during the spring to re gard the development of. the crop so that haymaking will occur fter the late pr ng rains are over, the yield of the second crop is usually much lighter, since its growth is coufined entirely to the dry season. By the use of the silo, on the jther hand, the first crop may be at for ensilage early in June, even though the weather be un Uvorable tor haymaking. If cut at this time, while the plants are tiil growing vigorously, a good t-cond crop will usually mature for hay early in August the best haying season of the year. A light third crop can be used for pasture or cut for ensi'age late in the fall. It is evident, therefore, that the use of the silo will practically insure the saving ot the fiist crop, increase ihe total yield per acre, and cause the second crop to mature at a lime when good haying weather an usually be relied upon. That all kinds of ensilage should be finely cut may be de sirable, but we must not get the idea that it is essential. For vears ensilage of the finest qual ity has been made in western Oregon and western Washington out of the whole clover and grass (timothy, English ryegrass, etc.) In making ensilage of this kind, however, there are two essentials an air-tight silo and great care in filling it. Farmers who use the silo as in dicated above agree that the first crop of grass and clover should be cut for ensilage irom the ist to the 15th of June, for the ear lier the first crop is cut the great er will be the yield of the second. Difficulty is usually experien ced in raking up ireshly cut green grass with an ordinary hay rake. Some tarmers avoid this difficulty by cutting with a self raking reaper or a mower with a buncher attachment. These bunches are then thrown on a wagon by hand. Others cut with an ordinary mower and load from the swath with a hay loader. The heavy green grass often bends the teeth on the elevator bars of the loader. The teeth may bere entorced by nailing blocks of wood on the elevator bars just back of the teeth. In filling the silo the material must be evenly spread and thor oughly tramped, so that all-of the air possible will be excluded. If this is not done much of the ensilage will spoil. Two princi pals were found in use by farm ers in filling silos. Ia the first the freshly cut grass is dropped directly into the silo with a hay fork. Two men in the silo spread the material and tramp it thoroughly, especially around the edges. The center of the silo where the loads from the fork "Uncle Samuels' fall requires but little tramping. The second method is to drop the material upon a platform at the top of the silo by riieans,pfJiong walk haT shngsor a hay fork,"- A man v-b-luion tne piauoim .inrowsc .roe material into the silo', .placine it as best he can. Another; nranjof the city for from three to fivel spreads it evenly inv tofc silo-and. tramps it tnorougniy. '. . A nis is perhaps the safest method, ; for there is less chance to slight: the work. For a few days after the silo has been filled, the setting of the material, will allow the addi tion of two or three loads each day, each load being thoroughly tramped when added. When the filling is comDleted the top is covered about one foot deep with marsh grass or other waste ma terial that it will pack closely and exclude the air. .This is wetted thoroughly and tramped dailv for several days, using about two banels ot water at each wetting. The writer has seen ensilage of excellent quality made from whole grass in this way. He ! has also seen ensilage made by dropping the: material into the silo without spreading and tramp ing it that was practically a total loss. In Memoriam Whereas, It has pleased the Supreme Master of the universe to remove from our midst our esteemed brother, Fred S. Tom linscn, therefore be it Resolved, That in the death ofBrotber Tomlinson that Wells Assembly ot United Artisan? loses an esteemed aud worthy brother, the community a citizen of ex emplary character and his im mediate family a loss that we have no words to describe. Resolved, That Wells Assem bly of United Artisans tender its sincere sympathy to his sorrow ing relatives and friends and may they ever look to Him who has promised to sustain them in every trial by his omnipotent love, and to care for and protect them in every trying hour. Resolved, That as a tribute of respect to Brother Tomlison that the charter of Wells Assem bly ot United Artisans of which he was a worthy and honored member, be draped in mourning for sixty days. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread 011 the minutes of the meeting and that a copy b; transmitted to the county papers tor publication and that a copy be forwarded to family of deceased. 16 Passing of Mr. Rogoway. A brief notice on the door of what has been the Rogoway fur niture store in this city con tains the information that all goods within have been attached and are now in control of M, P. Burnett, sheriff of Benton coun ty. Mr. Rogoway left Corvallis ten day ago and it is declared his wife, who remained in charge of the store here, knew nothing of his ; whereabouts. Saturday she too left for Portland. The career ot the Rogoways in Corvallis has been brief aud resembles quite strongly that of N. A. Fisher, the missing piano dealer who for a time shown re splendent on the business horizon of this city, only to wink . out as suddenly as he had winked in. The going of Mr. Fisher wa . lamented by numerous creditors and the same is said to be the case in the hurried passing of Mr. Rogoway. Mrs. Rogoway was to return Wednesday from Portland to assist in straightening up cer tain business matters. The store has been , in charge of Deputy J. D. Wells since Tuesday. Planning an Improvement. Plans have just, been submitted for an addition that will make the Eugene hospital the most sightly and roomy in the upper valley. The building will be three stories high with a massive and handsome exterior. The en trance with its twelve porches, stone balustrades and heavy col umns will be ' unique. The in terior will be built with a view to getting sunlight and plenty of fresh air into every room. One attractive feature for phy sicians will be a handsome con sultation room with an open wood fireplace and a laboratory room next door. The nearness to town, being i on Willamette " s'reet between 12th and 13th, enables friends of patients to visit them without a When competed this addition will make room for thit en more beds which i" will fully meet all the hospital needs I years I be institution is now equip ped with a fine X rav machine, and a well supplied snrgerv ; the best water sterilizer in the valley, wherein all the water used for drinking, surgical work aud dressing is fully sterili zed, and an excellent staff of trained nurses. Ex. Country Editors' Power. A congressman from the mid dle west said once: "The power of the country press surprises me- During my two terms I have been impressed with it constantly, I doubt if there is a single calm utterance in any paper in the United States that does not carry some weight in Washington among the members of congress. You might think that what some little country editor says does not amount to anything, but it means a great deal more than most people real ize. When the country editor. who is looking after nothing but the country printing gives ex pression to some rational idea on a national question, the man off here in congress knows that it comes from the grass roots. The lobby, the big railroad lawyers and that class of people realize the power of the press but they hate it." Jupiter's Double Moon. The most wonderful of all the re markable things which nightly come within the range of the pow erful moclern telescopes is the dou ble moon which continually circles around and around Jupiter, the "giant of the skies.'5 This astro nomical oddity was not known un til after the great Lick telescope was put in position on Mount Ham ilton, the discovery of the tiny satel lite only dating back" to 1391. The first hint of the presence d? this "moon of a moon" was given when one of the Lick observatory men re ported that . one of Jupiter's satel lites appeared to be casting a double shadow on the giant planet's sur face. From that time forward for some weeks a sharp lookout was kept, and at last the observers were rewarded in getting a glimpse of the curiosity a tiny dot of a moon revolving around another moon, both held in position by the great Jupiter. Standard Breds Versus Scrubs. Wherever any one succeeds with barnyard" fowls they would grow rich from standard bred poultry. Just try it, those of you who are doing well enough with the common kinds, and see what a difference there will be be tween 150 eggs per hen from each hen and seventy or eighty from the old kind, says the Feather. Even Front the Mountains. Ballard's Snow Liuiment is praised for the good it does. A sure cure for Rheu matism and all pains. Wright W. Loving, Grand Junction, Colo., writes: "I used Ballard's Snow Liniment last winter for Rheumatism andean recommend it as the best liniment on the market. 1 thought, at the time I was tn ken down with this trouble tbr t it would be a week before I could get about, but on applying your liniment several times during the night, I was about in 48 hours and well in three days."

People troubled with stomach weak ness cannot afford to use a medicine un less tbey know what il contains. ; Mi-o-na is the one remedy for stom ach troubles that publishes its formula; chemically pure bismuth Bubgallate, 1.0 allay any inflammation of the stomach ani bowels; . cerium oxalate, to strengthen the stomach nerves; sodium bi- carbonate, to neutralize the poison ous acids that are present in stomach troubles; and nux vomica, which re-!-.' ores vigor to the digestive organs and tones up the whole nervous system. This commnation ot valuable reme dies is found only in Mi-o-na stomach tablets, and it so raraly .fails to strengthen the digestive system, and cure even the worst form of stomach trcuble, that Graham and Wells sell the remedy under guarantee to refund the money unless it cures. A 50c box of Mi-o-na will give quick relief for indigestion, distress after eat ing, sleepleassness, or any of the other symptoms of stomach troubles. Unless it do3s this, the cost ia nothing. A Lazy Liver Maybe only a tired liver, or a starved liver. It would be a stupid as well aa savage thing to beat a weary or starved man because hn lagged in his work. So in treating the lagging, torpid liver it is a great mistake to lash it with strong drastic drugs.-. A torpid liver is but r.n indication of an ill-nourished, enfeehleo body whose organs are weary with over work. Start with the stomach and allied organs of digestion and nutrition. Put them in working order and see how quickly your liver will become active. Dr. Pierce's Gclden Medical Discoverv has made many marvelous cures of "liver trouble by its wonderful control of the organs of digestion and nutrition. It re stores the normal activity of the stomach, increases the secretions of the blood-making glands, cleanses the system from poi sonous accumulations, and so relieves the liver of the burdens imposed upon it by the defection of other organs.
