Some ol the brightest and most
successful men whom we know
obtained their early education
at the district schools in the
country. 1t has always been a
mystery how it was that these
schools, often poorly taught and
always short on facilities and
apparatus and often SHINY at
tended, somehow seemed TO lay
better educational foundations
than many Of the more modern,
more largely attended and better
taught city schools. We are in
clined to think that the boy in
attending the country school
was at the same time getting a
very valuable education along
the line Of hard work, self denial,
training his powers OF observa-
ton and learning to reason from
cause to effect. There is much
of benefit in an outdoor educa-
ton. far more than we usually
think. This sort of training is
practically denied the icity boy,
who, finding everything ready
made to his hands, does not de-
velop that self reliance, that in
ventive genius and that indepen-
dent habit of thinking which
come as compensations to the
country boy for what we call
lack OF opportunity. The fact
seems to be that the country
boy, given later on the advant-
ages Of the modern city school,
is almost invariably able to hold
his own and very often frequent
ly surpasses his city taught COM

One Of the worst tales OF land
greed we ever came across is that
OF a man who had seven daugh-
tiers and a consuming desire to
own all the land which Joined
lin. In order to add acre to
acre he turned the girls into
hired men and required OF them
a mental, laborious and slavish
service which despoiled their
womanhood. There would seem
to be an element of retributive
Justice in the fact that there
came a time when he was unable
10 meet the mortgages given to
acquire this land and lost it all,
but one can't help pitying those
poor girls.

1t is a good thing to make
definite plans for the farm work
of the year, decide how the crop
shall be distributed and rotated,
how much stock shall be kept
and Of what kind; see if little
tile draining will not reclaim an
acre or two of waste land, plan
to seed some Of the wet spots
down which cannot be drained
and get them into alsike clover
and timothy instead OF weeds:
decide for sure to thoroughly
clean all seed grain SO that no
poor seed shall be sown. There
is never time to properly do this
work Just when the seed is want
ed, and SO it is not done at all.
There is plenty OF opportunity
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1906-01-25


There should be two days
sacredly set apart on every farm
for special work. One day should
be devoted to tree planting, the
planting OF trees in waste hooks
and corners all over the farm,
evergreens on the knowlls too
rough for cultivation, willows
along the runs and draws; shade
trees at intervals along the high
way, and then another day
should be devoted to a general
cleaning, picking up day around
the homestead. These two days
properly used would do more to
improve the looks OF the average
farm than any other one thing
ave know.

We made Il test a few years
ago to see if small potatoes used
for seed would produce as good
q crop as where large ones were
used. We found out that the
old saying is true-that as a man
sows so shall he reap. We plant
ed small potatoes and got small
potatoes. No lesson needs learn
ing more thoroughly than this
that the crop is very largely de-
pendent upon the seed, whether
it be potatoes or any other crop.

here that when the calf grew into

sell it and pocket the money. A
good many generous fathers do
things this way, and their sons
do not grow up to be successful

letter:
August 10, 1906.
Mr.. H. P. Wood, Secretary. Honolulu.
Hawaii
Dear Sir: I am today in receipt Of
your kind invitation to. the Colorado
Editorial Association to pay a visit
to your beautiful islands, and as
sure you that it will be a pleas
ure to me to present the matter
to the members at the annual
meeting next January. Our mid
summer meeting was held only two
weeks ago. Personally, I have long
had a desire to visit Honolulu. and if
we can make the necessary arrange
ments for transportation I believe that
a good party of Colorado editors would
be glad to make the trip. The change
from these high attitudes to the sea
level would do us all good, and we
would have something interesting to
write about for many months
With best wishes for yourself and
your association, I am
Fraternally yours,
J. T. LAWLESS.

aAS BABE STAMPS

Winsted, Conn.,, Aug. 8, 1906.
Editor Advertiser: I have been much
interested in the article on Hawaiian
stamps in your issue of July gath.
In regard to the lac. stamp issued
in 1853. and surcharged So I would
say that 1 have some of these stamps
on the original envelopes, used with a
12c. U. S. stamp. This was at the
time when the Hawaiian and U. S.
rate of postage was lie. These are
stamped u. S. Postage Paid" There
is nothing to show that there was any
postage unpaid.
| think there is no question but what
these surcharged BE. stamps were sold
and used as five cents, during a short
age of the regular five cent stamps.
Yours truly,
EDWARD p WILCOX

all parts of tie work shall be in
accordance with the speeifca-
tions, dawin2s and plans. The
plans referred to are not neces-
| sarily those submitted before
letting the contract Detailed
plans will, in many eases, be pre-
pared and carefully adjusted to
the features of the ground or con
ditions. and the plans above re-
ferred to shall include these sub
seqGent plans.
Why not ask the contractor to swap
his work for some money insight and
unseen9' 1t is frequently said that a
contractor who is financially ruined
under certain specifications must have
''run up against very honest en-
gineer' whom he had hoped to hood
wink. 1t is too true that this IS often
the case, but who knows how much
oftener financial failures are due to
bidding upon just such specifications
as these? Certainly the gambling fac
tor in contracting exists largely by
virtue of the one-sidedness and the in
definiteness characteristic of so many
specifications.
Passing from these general clauses
to the so-called specific clauses, we find
such as the following
Where required, drainage shall
be effected by a drain pipe laid
below the sewer, all at the ex-
pense of the contractor.
"Where required" by whom or by
what2 By the engineer, or by the ext
gencies of the case7 1t may be safely
inferred that the engineer has the pow
er, under the clause, to direct the build
ing of as many. feet subdrain as he may
see fit-and all without agreeing to pay
for a foot of it directly. Indirectly
however, he may pay for subdrains I'M
der the whole system in the form of
higher unit prices-although in fact not
d single foot of subdrain may be built.
A clause like this indicates, as do near
ly all the others, that the engineer had
made no study of subsurface condi-
tions before he drew his specifications.
Instead he has apparently delegated
this part OF his work to every con-
tractor who chooses to bid intelligently.
Unfortunately, this criticism applies
not to one exceptionally bad specifica-
ton, but to scores of specifications,
which indicate that the standard prac
tice in this country is to make only
surface surveys, leaving subsurface
surveys to be made by the trench-dig-
ging laborers after the contract has
been awarded.
We need not wonder that sewer work
is seldom bid upon except by few
local contractors who are more familiar
with local subsurface conditions than
is the engineer; for profles of soils
and rocks to be encountered are sell
dom shown in engineers drawings, and
an outside contractor will usually have
neither time nor inclination to make
such a profile for himself. Nor should
it be a cause for wonder that local
contractors often bid exceedingly high
on some work, and on other work find
that their prices are ruinously low
These conditions will continue to exist
until careful surveys and estimates are
made the basis OF carefully drawn spe-
cifcations
