The Country Trade Immense
It is surprising tocce how many farmers come into In
dependence every few days with provisions, wood, hops
grain, and the many other commodities raised in this sec
tion. Every farmer who makes this his headquarters also
mnkes this his purchasing point, if .ho sells here, he like
wise buys here. There should ho a purely business men's
organization in this city, the business of this organization
should bo to cultivate and acquire the outside trade, find
outside markets ami sell farmers supplies. This organiza
tion should go further, it sliuuld he a protective organiza
tion working for the common welfare of its members.
While its organization would give protection to the individu
als belonging to it, it likewise operates as a benefit to the
fanners and surrounding country. Independence is not
active enough in the territory tributary to other towns of
equal size to this but which are also tributary to this.
The merchants combined should co-operate to go after
this outlying business and the papers should co-operate
in the movement. The Independence papers should find
their way into every houe within a radius of 10 miles of
Independence and the busmen, men should make their pri
ces ttttractivo enough to cause the farmers to want the
home papers for their own information respecting prices
and conditions. Advertising is a trade and almost a pro
fession. It is being taught by tin beet correspondence
schools and it will soon find its way into the universities.
We see merchants who bavin-' apt clerks, are paying their
tuition in correspondence schools in order to get the very
best results of the best experience of experts in advertising
Avdertising moi command as high as $1000 a month in
large cities, and the advertising men are coming to reach
out to the country districts and it will soon he a part of a
Community's business to look for the ad writer who will
help in formulating the advertising you want.
But returning again to the matter of co-operation in
reaching the people, the merchants of a city must work to
gether for this result. The outlying territory is continually
changing. Albany, Corvallis, Jeffeison, Salem, McMinn
ville and Dallas aro all points a half way to which Inde
pendence can successfully apply for trade and got it. It i
as much of importance to go after the business you can get
as it is to attempt to secure new industries. When yov
neglect business you are neglecting opportu
nity and throw away chances to make money. The co-operative
plan will provo succont fu) and is worth conndera-.tion.
Raise Classy Apples and Get the Price
To get the best price for a pies you must raise the best
apples, you must not only havi standard saleable varieties
but you must pick and wrap thero with as much care as
you would if they were worth 25 cents each. The Will

About two years ago the government utar.ul to interest
the liorsobreoders in. the Morg in horse. This animal was
first reared accord hig to the hint information we have, in
the hills of the Now Kngland section of th United States.
Fifty years ago thsy were favorites in and about Ken
tucky where fino horses were judged by experts. In later
years many horsemen have commenced to declare the
Morgan horse to be extinct. The cause of the decline of
the Morgan is reported to be on account of wners of the
horse trying to make ita speed animal which they failed to
produce.
The true Morgan has Kiouiness, traveling gate, courage
and endurance, the qualities wanted for a good roadster.
The American Farmer's Kneybpedia states in IS 14, per
haps the Hi i tt breed of horses in the United States, when
general usefulness is ;aken in consideration's what is
known in the northern and eastern states as the Morgan
horse.
The original Justin Morg tn horse is described as follows:
stands about M hands high, weighs about '.lot.) pounds,
dark bay color, black leg-, n tun ami tail ; no white hairs,
main and tail course and bejiv ; head goo I, net extremely
small, but lean and hoitv; faceraight, foiehetd broad, ears
f mall and - fine; eyes, medium size, dr.rk and prominent ;
liosti ilH large, ihuzzIh pnia.l, lips close and firm ; his hack
was short; shoulder blade anil hip bones long and oblique,
close ribbed up; chest deep anil wide; .'egs short, close
jointed, thin but very wide; hard and free from meat, large
muscle, feet small and well shaped, lie was a fast walker
and his trotting was low and sinoothe and his step short
and nervous. He never stumbled.
