BLACKHAWK SURVIVOR
He Is Now In His NinetIeth Year and Re,
T. sides In an Illinois Town.

. ? Des Moines Register and Leader
William Il. Lee Of Shohonier, ILL.,, claims
the distinction of being the sole survivor
OF the Black Hawk Indian war of 1882.
With the difficulty which Iowa is expe-
riencing to find traces of it's Mexican war
survivors, it is hardly probable that any
survivor Of the Indian war fourteen years
earlier will be found in this state. Mr..
Lee is now in his ninetieth year. -.
q The story OF his life shows many hard
ships, but the pioneers on the frontier a
half or: three quarters of century ago
were Injured to hardships. Mr.. Lee was
brought west from New York when he
was 8 years old. The party made its way
on two RATS and fiatboat constructed of
logs. The emigrants took all Of their live
stock with them in their passage down the
Allegheny and Ohio rivers, landing at
shawneetown, from there going to Salem,
and finally to Vandalia, at that time only
"a small village. AT this place Lee grew
to young manhood under the hard lessons
of frontier life, assisting his father in his
grain treadnill and in saving lumber. -.
The story Of his participation in the
Black Hawk war and subsequent life is
told by a correspondent thus: when the
Sac and Fox, or, as it was known, the
Black Hawk, war broke out in 1882, Will
liam H. Lee was only 16 years Of age,
but he possessed courage equal to the
hardy training he had received in his I'LL
nO1S pioneer l1fe After the close or the
war he made three successful trips to New
Orleans by boat, which in those days was
considered a feat Of unusual Importance,
each time taking large loads of grain. In
1850; he succunbed to the California gold
fever, making, an overland trip to that
Epart Of the country. This trip was fol-
lowed by two others. On each of the
trips large numbers Of cattle were taken
along as an investment. The party was
attacked by Indians on the first trip, but
was successful in defeating the red men
On the second journey the party lost all
their live stock. The third trip was thoro-
| ly successful. Returning to his farm in
Illinois, Mr.. Lee has remained there In
active charge until within the last few
years, when he turned the active man.

at the success in preventing and overcoming

physicians are finding their incomes cut in half

changed conditions In Germany matters are still
worse. Circulars are now being distributed at

These circulars cite statistics to show that 81

HOW SEED WHEAT MAY BE

rust and wheat smut. We know that
we are on the right track to procure
resistant and immune varieties. The
processes are simple and every farmer
can take part in the work.
What Experiments Teach.
ssiFirst-Th the methods Of grad
ing and selecting farm seeds hereto
fore recommended and in use by most
and should be followed rigidly; because
these grading processes not only tend
to save the naturally big yielders, but
to discard the weak and non disease
resisting strains Of grain.
'Second-That when a farmer re-
moves a lightweight shriveled grain,
either by flaming or by screening, he
came from weak, sick plant or from
one which could not produce good,
plump grain under the conditions in
which his crop grew.
Third--That the farmer ought not
to change his type Of seed grain con-
tinuously, but should breed up a strong
TO do this, he should grade out all Of
the lightweight, imperfectly shaped
grains, and save the plump, perfect
ones. The last grew on plants which
could resist trouble, plants which were
strong and resistant of disease and
hard conditions of soil and weather.
Wheat from Rusty Crop.
:" All this applies directly to the ques-
ton Of using seed from the present
rusty crop. Because Of the reasons Just
given, l recommend that the farmers
in the rust-infected districts procure
the seed for next year from their own
crop fit is possible to screen out
enough heavy grain for that purpose.
lf one-third of the grains are heavy
weights, most farmers will be able to
do this by a little extra work with the
fanningmill. Remember that this is a
good year to sort out,a good, vigorous
strain of seed wheat, for the rust shriv-
which could not resist it and hard
weather and soil conditions. Clean out
the light stuff. .
Durum Wheats. -.
IT also call attention to the fact that
there are several varieties Of durum
wheat being grown in this state. and
that, while most durum wheats are more
resistant to rust than the ordinary
wheats, some of them rust very badly
and are of less value than others. This
is an ideal chance to purify the durun
seed Good rnst-resistant durum il
plump as in ordinary years. Where il
is mixed with poorer types Of durun
and has an admixture of the ordinary
soft wheats, the soft wheats and veal
durums are badly shriveled and, there
fore, can be easily removed by use oil

pay to purify the durum.' IT,

There is hardly social function takes

of the success OF ThOmfordts stands
is the purity and freshness OF their
