TEN
YEARS
TAXROLLS
To Be Revised BY the County
Court.
Work on other County Ex-
porting Has Been Suspended

Messrs, Clark and Buchanan, who have
been engaged in exporting the records
OF Marion county, have given up their
examination of the books in the sheriff. .
Office temporarily, TO assume other work
assigned them by the county court. The
attention Of the court was called to the
fact that during the last ten years, taxes
have been allowed to become delinquent
on property in this county
in numerous instances, According
to a ruling Of the cOurt in
Multnomah county, list OF said delin-
quent taxes must be prepared, to allow
the tax-colector to secure the payment
of them. In accordance with this rul
ing the county court ordered the tax
rolls for the last ten years to be exam
ined and the delinquent list made. The
court also ordered Clark and Buchanan
to beg on this work, believing them to
be more competent than any local
people who could be secured
at present. The work necessary
for them TO perform will occupy
about one week, after which time local
clerks will attend to the work. Forces
will be at work both day and night, in
order to expedite the work as much as
possible, and tits believed by the court
that they will be able to complete the
work in about 80 days.

LETTER
FROM OLD
IOWA
Speaking Of The Rains of
Oregon.

PR. Simansmo, Of Alvord, Iowa, n
JOURNAL subscriber, writes Dec. 2lst,
1901, as follows: "The weather out here
was very cold this wCek--32 degrees
below zero, and mostly oil the week be-
low zero. Now it is 3S above, Land is
worth $50 an acre and still going up.
Our crop was very good. Corn is worth
55 cents, oats 43, wheat SO. The farmers
are making good deal Of money in this
part OF the country, but the climate is
very changeable,espec this winter. "
While in Missouri few days ago in
speaking with lot Of farmers 10 that
state one OF them remarked that he
would like to come 10 Oregon but 1t
rained too much. We we're compelled
to acknowledge that it did rain in Ore
gon, in fact we informed them that 1t
rsined go bard during the last year that
we actually raised crop and already we
have been sending hundreds Of carloads
of potatoes to Kansas and Missouri and
other places where it did not rain. The
old man thought that after all IL was
pretty good place to live 10 where it
would rain enough to raise crop. We
mi sht have stated further,if we had had
the figures that it rained so hard that We
we're able to produce a crop,a small por-
ton of which was sent to thePan.Ameri'
can exposition and carried away total
OF 292 prizes. 1t rains in Oregon and the
man who has raised a crop in any place
in the United States and has moved
here is glad to know that it rains in Ore

A boy of IL years of age recently
committed suicide in Connecticut be-
cause he had had disagreement with
his school teacher about the studies 1t
was best for him to pursue. There have
been two or three cases of children
who have killed themselves because
they failed to pass their school exam
nations. Not long ago a little girl
took poison because she was not allow
ed by her mother to go out and play
with other children. There have been
several cases where boys and girls of
tender years have killed themselves
because they fancied they We're cross
ed in love by cruel parents. A census
of children who have committed sui
eide for trivial reasons would show
that child suicide is increasing at an
alarming rate. What is the cause of
this! Why is 1t that those who should
be most in love with life are so willing
to part with it? Undoubtedly one
cause is to be found in the abnormal
sensitiveness of these youthful self
murderers-a sensitiveness which is al
lowed to develop without any effort to
cure 1t until it becomes an overmas-
tering passion which in these days
when life is held of so little value
easily leads them to part with it when
ever they are not allowed to have their
own way. Undoubtedly also another
cause, and perhaps the strongest of
all, is to be found either in the neglect
Of children by their parents or in faulty
methods of bringing them up. A con-
temporary, discussing this subject, is
of opinion that children We're much
better Off when they were allowed to
develop by simple growth, like Topsy.
In the evolution of domestic govern
ment the child has passed through
many stages. A century ago it was a
little monster of depravity whose In
EQUITIES must be cured by religious
training Of the severest kind. Then
came the theory of brute nature to
he overcome by the spiritual nature,
and finally the theory enunciated by
Frederic Harrison the other day that
the child is incapable of sin by nature.
Between all these theories somehow
the child falls to the ground. Advanc-
ed civilization with its scientific dog
mas and theoretical schemes of train
ing is doing its best to make children
normal, but somehow 1t fails, as the
multitude of Maynard children, youth
full criminals and youthful suicides tes-
titles. Are we not applying too much
science to child rearing in some in
stances? Would it not be better to go
back to natures processes and let them
grow up as natural children with a
strong love of life, healthy fear of
punishment, and. an enjoyment of nat
ural instincts. like little animals, and
not try to make little men and women
of them before their time? The pro-
cesses of modern civilization have
something radically defective in them
when boys and girls between { and 10
years of age SO frequently commit sui
eide.

The Uses of the Wecder.

Some one has said that the weeder
was an excellent tool to use when there
were no weeds to kill. If so, 1t is just
what every farmer needs. There is no
time when the crop is so much bene-
fitted by a stirring of the soil as when
there are no weeds in the field. and no
time when so many weeds can be kill
ed with SO little labor as when the
weeds are scarcely visible to the eye,
and If they will so over fifteen to twen-
ty acres in II day, one can afford to use
1t several times, instead of going once
when there were SO many weeds that
an acre would require days work to
destroy the weeds. An old farmer used
to say that a field which was so weeHy
as to very much need hoeing was not
worth hoeing. But destroying weeds is
not the whole work of the weeder. To
break up and pulvcrize the crust after
n rain that it may he more absorbent
of the dews and rainfall, and the nitro
gen that is in the atmosphere; to make
an earth mulch which will absorb the
heat of the sun and attract moisture
from below, are as important rs to de-
stroy weeds and weed seeds that are
ready to terminate, and on large farms
this implement will save many a hard

European dairymen buy large guam
titles of American feeding stuffs. Ex-
perimcnts are now being made in COM
pressing bran into bricks for more con-
venicnt expectation. While the sue
cess of this line of work might lead to
a still greater expectation of American
raw farm products, the failure of the
experiment would be Americas gain.
Bran Is one of the most valuable feeds
for the dairy. 1t is recommended by
many feeders as especially useful for
feeding in conjunction with cornmeal,
which is concentrated and tends to
"pack" in the stomach. Bran is cool
ing and can be used in almost any rea-
sonable quantity. 1t is food rich in
protein and contains large amount of
the heterogeneous element of fertility in
soils. Wheat is known to be extremely
hard on soil, and the chemist has found
that most of the soil strength goes into
the bran. Broadly speaking, therefore,
the extreme folly can be seen of export
ing bran and letting that much fertility
go out of the country to enrich foreign
lands, necessitating the purchase. in
lieu thereof, of artificial fertilizers of
all kinds to keep up our own fertility
of soil

the taxation necessary TO meet this
military outlay. The New York World

Every year after harvest comes the
time of trouble with insects in stored
grain. Concerning these pests, which
work in the grain bin and often do
great damage before they are discover
ed, Rural New Yorker advises thus:
All grain bins should Of course be thor
oughly cleaned before the new grain is
put in. If the weevils appear, there
are two ways of killing them. Raising
the temperature to 140 degrees will de-
stroy them. but that Is hardly prac-
ticable in most granaries. The most
effective remedy is found In bisulphide
of carbon. This is powerful poison.
1t is quite infammable and must not
be used near an open fire. When put
at the top of the bin it volatilizes, and
the gas, being heavier than air, sinks
through the whole mass of grain with
out injuring 1t. The usual application
is about pound and a half of bisul-
phide 10 ton of grain in tight bin.
More should be used when the bins are
open. The bisulphide may be put in
shallow pans or saucers, and thus
scattered over the surface of the bin.
Then close the top and throw ban-
ket over to exclude the air, leaving it
alone for twenty-four hours.

Butter-makers kick on farm separa-

one thing that will check its rapid in

do this with separator skimmilk. If

pumps, pipes and tanks and give the.
skimmilk a thorough pasteurZins, the
farmer is certain to lend an attentive
ear to the farm separator agent, sep

you can count on its staying. 1t will
then be too late to protest, for after n
farmer pays 500 for separator he is
quite apt to find n factory that will

can be raised on good separator milk,

Rose from Log Cabin to His Present
Post of Honor.
Adjutant General Corbin, who has
now reached the grade of major gen
eral in the regular army, was born
fifty-nine years ago at Batavia, Ohio,
in log cabin which is still standing.
He entered the Civil Wara second lieu
tenant in the Eighty-third Ohio Volun-
teer Infantry, July %, 1862, and has
risen by merit through all the grades
to that of major general of the regu-
lar establishment He was honOrably
discharged from the volunteer service
on March 90. 1866, with the brevet
rank of brigadier general for meri-
torious service. Gen. Corbins early
ancestors were virginians, and he is a
distant relative of Col. Richard Lee.
His grandfather was sergeant of the
Virginia line in the Revolution. His
great-grandfather moved to the mouth
Of the Maumee River in Ohio and later
settled in Clermont, Ohio. Gen. Cor
bins father is still living. at the age
of 80.
The Adjutant General Is the instru-
ment through which the Chief Execu-
tive and the Secretary of War act. He
dare not usurp single function dele
gated to his superiors. His duty Is to
carry out In letter and spirit their or
ders. He must be capable of advising
when his advice is asked; he must be
an absolute master of details, and must
he able to answer questions relating to
the army with accuracy. When war
clouds gather it is the busiest office Of
the Government.
To call to the field 100000 men. arm
and equip them in sixty days and at
tend to the innumerable details, rs did
Gen. Corbin during the recent war with
Spain, is a task so gigantic that none
but man of extraordinary ability and
physical strength could fill the place.
And now he is prepared to enlist, drill,
arm, equip and dispatch 100000 men Of
a regular army 1000 miles. Grant,

was 2,25S.376 Vermont. led the col

New York followed with the produc-
ton of 1O,4S5.G23 pounds. New York
led in the production of syrup, the
quantity being 457,65S gallons to 21S.-
252 gallons for Vermont. A large tree
may yield thirty-two gallons of sap in
season which should make about
eight pounds of sugar, but 1t is thought
to be a good orchard that averages six
pounds to tree. AS much sap will
run from half-inch hole as from q
larger one, and the wood heals quicker.
1t is better not to tap trees until ten
inches through.

Barley is often said to be much
better grain than oats for feeding
hogs, sheep or poultry, as it fattens
better. nearly equal to corn, but max
ing more growth or lean meat. The
best Canadian and English bacon is
made largely upon barley or barley
meal, yet many will not grow it be-
cause the boards are poisonous, or very
irritating to some people. and even to
animals when the straw is used as bed
