AS TIMES CHANGE.
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-

WHAT IT SAYS.
Of the Silo -Instructive Bullotin
by Byron Hunter.
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.

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

getting sunlight and plenty of
fresh air into every room.
One attractive feature for phy

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.

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." Sold by Graham &

FOR STOMACH SUFFERERS.
Don't Use Any. Remedy That Keeps
Its Formula a Sscret.
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.
