THE OIL INDUSTRY
ITS RAPID GROWTH
ElFTY.FlVE YEARS AGO FIRST
cUSHER WAS TAPPED IN
PENNSYLVANIA.

Fifty-tiye years ago this week the
first driven oil well in the United
States began to give up its precious
fluid. The event marked an epoch in
the illumination of the world and the
beginning of many huge fortunes. The
chief iluminants of that day were
sperm, or whale oil, retailing at $2.25
a gallon; "camphene," a derivative of
Lurpentine and very liable to explo-
sion; coal OIL" obtained from coal ana
Scotch bag head, selling at about "
gallon. How to light the home and
workshop cheaply was a serious eco
nomic problem 1t was that argument
that influenced two Connecticut tinan-
ciers to advance $1,000 to Colonel
Edwin l.. Drake, who proposed to drill
an oil well near Pthole, Pa, where for
generations the local residents had
been gathering oil as 1t floated on the
surface of creeks and pools. Drake
began work in 1857. His early at
empts resulted in failure; his ilnan-
,iers refused more money, and his
| vorkmen deserted His scheme be-
| came the joke of the countryside. He
might as well drill for whisky re-
marked one rural spectator When ON

secured financial aid from Pennsyl-
yanians and resumed his operations

consumed throughout the world. The

GANlZATlON IN THE EN-
PLOYMENT OF MEN.

The mining companies Of Butte have
issued a signed statement in which
they announce that in future they Will
recognize neither the Western Fedora
ton of Miners nor the Butte Mine
workers union. and will take into their
own hands the matter of whom they
will employ. The position Of the COM
panies is defined in the following ex-
tract from their statement to the
public
THE attitude of the mineworkers'
organization toward the employer. as
expressed in their published notices,
and in the constitution adopted by 1t,
put that organization beyond the pos
siblity of being recognized or dealt

organization is concerned, the under

Tuberculosis Among Cattle.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, d. S.
Burch, associate editor, writing an
article on the milk business, says that
the question of tubercular cattle is be-
coming tremendously important. In
the following extract from his article
he gives some important facts:
Taking the country as whole,
about one twentieth OF dairy cattle in
INFESTED herds are tubercular, and a
large amount or statistics, which how
ever, are not entirely conclusive. indi-
cate that one tenth OF human tuber-
culosis Is or bovine origin.
The cost Of testing cows for tuber-
culosis is not necessarily expensive. It
costs about ten dollars for a herd OF
eight animals, though the charges will
vary with individual veterinarians,
When from twenty to forty cows are
tested at time, fifty cents per head Is
the usual fee These figures are from
Wisconsin In small herds the cost
may b. from dollar to two dollars 2
head, seldom over that. The knowl-
edge that a COW II free from the dis
ease II certainly worth that price"

What Wilson Has Accomplished.

IN the May American Magazine Ray
Stannard Baker writes a remarkable
article about Woodrow Wilson in
which he explains the reasons for his
success and compares him with
Roosevelt and Taft On the progress
that Wilson has made Mr.. Baker COM
ments in part as follows:
Now there are two ways of judging
progress. One Il to measure il by the
distance We have to go-that u the
radical way-and the other il to meas
ure III by the distance we have already
come.
II met a radical who is a good
friend Of mine, on a windy corner in
Washington. We both held our hats
on with our hands, and shivered, and
talked about Wilson. My friend, is
a sincere lover of men, patriot, and
a Christian, and he wants land
monopoly abolished by tomorrow af-
ternoon. He was one Of the few men
I found who complained OF Mr.. Viii
son. MIR. Wilson had disappointed
him by not going far enough OF fast
M enough What. after all, had been
done? Had Privilege really been
scotched?
The trouble with most radicals Is
that tLcy DO not take into account the
time cl.nent in progress. Because a
thing is true and right, it is not neces-
sarily going to be adopted next We'd
Hesday. Read for edification the first
verse Of the tenth chapter of Daniel in
which it is related that Daniel, hav-
ing humbled himself, seeth vision
and it il further explained that the
thing was true, but the time appointed
n
should draw two important lessons
from this text: Firstly, that Daniel
humbled himself, secondly, that the
time appointed was long.
Measure this by conditions which
existed ten years ago, or even five
years ago in the roaring days OF
Roosevelt, and it will be seen that Mr..
Wilson and his administration have
come some distance. We are at last
really getting a substantial legal deli
milton Of the moral impulses which
are sweeping the country. Mr.. viii
son has proved himself strong enough
to guide the enormous crude paw OF
democracy while at the delicate labor
Of writing its desires into laws. Ger
tain vital principles are being estab-
lished:
"First.-Some of the power and
some of the privilege of vast wealth
are being curtailed. The tariff law,
the currency law, and the trust laws
have each tended in this direction.
"Second.-The principle OF govern
ment control OF industry and com
merce has been established a. never
before. Commissions provided for i'm
the currency and the trust legislation
have this end plainly in view.
"Third.-A short step in the direc-
ton of actual government ownership

AS to College Trained Farmers.

We are beginning to find out what
the agricultural colleges are doing to
help swell the number of how-and-
why farmers, observes the Country
Gentleman. In the early days of
these institutions only. a small per-
centage of the graduates went back to
till the soil That was because more
men were needed to fill positions a.
teachers and investigators It was "a
question of duty a. wen a. of money
These men could do more good by col
lecting and disseminating information
than by applying 1t to their own in
dividual problems. But times have
changed and the demand for invesd-
gators and teachers is not quite so
insistent. Trained men have also
come to realize that farming offers as
good opportunities for them as any
other line OF business.
Statistics from a number of agricul-
tural colleges show that the farms are
claiming increasing numbers or the
graduates and that these men are
making good Their average income
iis more than one-flfth greater than
that OF farmers who have had the ad-
vantages of high-school training and
the income Of farmers with common
school educations.
The Ohio State University recently
took census of the graduates of its
agricultural college and found that of
the 200 men who had finished the
course I'm the last years. rs, or 38 per
cent had gone back to the farm. OF
the remaining 124 graduates, SO g
pect to return to the farm some day In
the future. That leaves only 30 men
who do not intend to farm. and most
of these did not study agriculture with
an intention Of putting their knowl-
eye into practice on the soil.

Tbese younp men w Ohio. Who want

These young men OF Ohio, who want
to farm but are not doing 50 at pres
ent, have good reasons for postponing
their return to the land. Among these
are the lack of capital. the indiffer-
ence of fathers to new methods and
the lucrative positions offered to men
with agricultural training. Perhaps
improved rural credit will help put
these boys where they want to 20 and
where they are greatly needed
