UNWILLING OF STEPHEN D. LEE
MONUMENT.
National Government Accepts Stat
ne of Confederate General
Presented by United Con-
: federate Veterans. Grants
Tribute to Lee.

- ~--~ @AOA ObS SNpheoO w N'Oh' wv Ph-
en- Dill Lee here today. The
splendid monument, designed by
Kits0n, stands in the National
Park upon the exact spot from
which General Lee directed the
movement of his troops during
the siege OF Vicksburg.
Vicksburg had been preparing
for the dedication for months.
The town was gsyly decorated
with flags and bunting, the Stars
and Bars and the Stars and
Stripes always entwined.
The parade formed at noon
and headed by Gen. Fred d.
Grant, United States army, aud
En- escort of cavalry, proceeded
TO the National Park. The War
rem Light Artillery fired geDer-
sl's salute and then Henry Wat
terson called the assembly to or
der.
Upon taking the chair as pre-
siding officer, Mr.. Watterson said
in part:
Standing by the Father OF Waters
let me first give thanks to God,
that, from the Falls of St. Anth-
ony to the Gulf of Mexico, it
flows through an unbroken sue.
cession of American States at
once chain and an mblem of
perpetual union between the
North and the South.
1t was to gain this outlet to
the sea that we acquired the
LouisiaDas of France. 1t was to
keep it open that the yeomen of
The great Northwest took the
feld. The purpose to close it
proved an error of far-reaching
magnitude; bit if it be true, as
Gibbon tells us, that "History is
little more than the register OF
the crimes, tollies and misfortun-
Sc of mankind" what must not
all of US have to answer for, when
reason comes to the final diepo-
sition of the facts of a conflict,
which even now battles philos-
ophy; because the South, fore
doomed to defeat, risked all and
had everything to lose; the won
der being, and the glory, that
against such odds the self-confi-
dent but vanquished and van
ished Confederacy was able to
hold out so long.
AS Mr.. Watterson ceased
speaking two little boys unveil-
ed the statue. They were John
q. Lee and Lee Harrison, grand
sons of General Lee, while the
generals son, Blewett Lee, of
Chicago, stood at their side.
b When the enthusiasm had died
down Gen Clement A Evans,
commander -in-chief of the Con-
federate Veterans, formally pre-.
sented the statue to the federal
government on behalf of the
people of Mississippi and the
Confederate Veterans.
When General Evans finished
and Mr.. Watterson arose to pre-
sent General Grant, who had
been directed by the Federal
government to receive the monu-
ment, storm OF applause broke
out and continued for nearly
twenty minutes.

Our annual consumption of
sugar is 3,lS5,7S9 tons, and our
total domestic product only 74O,-
600 tons, the tariff forces our
consumers to pay extra for their
sugar $l5O,OOO,OOO a year-about
q cents a pound for every pound
of sugar used. This is for the
benefit of the cane sugar produc-
ers of Louisiana, who lean on the
tariff for their profit instead of
improving their production; and

MUST DECIDE FOR HIMSELF


Max-Martin took his fourteen.
year-old boy to court because the
boy would not study the things
that his father wanted him to
study.
The boy wants to be an enpi-
neer; the father wants him to be a
lawyer or doctor.
Judge Wyatt, before whom the
father and son appeared, wisely
gave careful attention to the case.
But Judge Wyatt said to the boy
Agree with your father on your
life work"
That is bad advice, in our opin-
ion. 1t is not the duty of child
to find out what the father thinks
he ought to do. It is the duty of
a father to find out what the boy
can do, and encourage the boy in
that.
The strongest incentive in this
world is Unborn attraction. The
food that we like we digest. What
we do not like we do not digest.
The work that we like we can
deal with successfully Work that
we do against the grain is never
fully successful.
1t is important that father
should learn the inclinations of
his children. OF course, the little
boy who wants to be pirate is
laughed out Of his plans; ideas of
infancy have no value.
But the child of twelve or older
with decided Interest in any one
kind of work should be encouraged
in that line.
Many of the greatest men
Newton tor instance, greatest OF
all discoveries of law-have been
thought stupid because they re-
belled against work that was not
congenial. In the end they justi-
fed the rebellion.
Human beings, in the long run,
will learn the truth put before
them years ago by Charles Four
Ter, that men are governed by their
attractions, and that the success of
the individual and Of the race de-
ponds upon giving full play to the
attractions or passions. Thwart-
ing them or coercing them means

Seed Wheat-liOW to Select, Clean and

Selection Of Seed.

Select bright mature, heavy weight
seed, preferably that which has been
grown In your own state rather than
imported and unacclimated seed. Pre-
ference should be given to the stand
ard varieties of Fife and Blue Stem
as they are sure to command the best
price. BY giving careful attention to
the selection of seed and the cultiva-
ton of the soil the yields of Fife and
Blue Stem can be increased, and the
best quality of grain secured.
Use Of Wheat Grader and Tanning Mill
Where the wheat grader is available
it should be used to screen out the
small sized kernels. Where the
grader is not available, use the fan
ming mill. Some farmers follow the
excellent practice of putting their seed
wheat through both the grader and
the tanning mill. The larger kernels,
as rule come from the larger and
more productive wheat heads, and
hence the seed wheat grader and fan
ming mill have a tendency to remove
the smaller, less mature and less
productive kernels. The heavy
weight seeds contain the most nour-
ishment and reserve plant food which
gives the young wheat plants bet
ter start in the early spring than in

Gives Independent the Credit
The Plan First Suggested by this Paper Ha. Been
Adopted by the Agricultural College-Hughes to
Look After Journalistic Work

Hughes says in his letter: your
editorial fit the case exactly. The
Fargo Forum reprinted it, and the
board of trustees directed the presi-
dent to select man to carry out the
main lines of the plan. After June
l., l can devote all my time to the
work, which will make it possible to
do a great deal of special work l
think the best thanks I can give you
for your hearty and timely support IS
to invite you to come on-anyth1ng
I can do to help make success OF
your farm page is at your command"
Mr.. Hughes has been regular con-
tributor, to our farm department, and
we are glad to let our readers know
that he will continue to be. His ad-
vice on farm subjects is the best there
is, and our readers should be bene-
fitted materially by his writings.

More Regarding Formaldehyde

Much of the formaldehyde however
is stronger than the 40 per cent solu-
ton, and that of course explains why
some bottles OF ii ounces of formal
dehyde by measure, weigh just a
pound.
Frank Taylor, of the Taylor Drug
Co. has taken the trouble to determine
the specific gravity of the formalde-
hyde sold at his store, and finds that
it is just LA, which means that it is
stronger than the 40 per cent solution.
We have no doubt that the formalde-
hyde sold by every NIinot druggist
runs stronger than the 40 per cent
which means hat the farmers would
be getting their moneys worth, even
tho they received but the IA ounce
bottle. We believe that most of the
Minot stores use a larger bottle than
IA ounces. They inform us that they
will guarantee to give the farmers
their moneys worth and you may feel
free to bank OH it. This is an inter-
esting point, and we believe that it's
consideration will do no harm.

Some things like the Sermon on
the Mount" will bear repeating.
No man who owns a COW can afford
to have her afraid of him. 1t is
loss to the owner every time she is
frightened. To run COW is wasting
money. Make pets of your cows and
they will make money for you.
Every kind word said to an animal
or a bird adds to human happiness.
Never keep horse locked in a
stable, without exercise. Never keep
anything in solitary confinement. 1t
is Just as cruel as to keep a person
in the same condition.
Farmers will do we'll to remember
that the baby calf should be kept in
loose box within sight Of the mother,
and fresh milk warm from the COW
should be given it. The calf should
never be allowed to draw the milk
from the COW.

S. H. Sleeper, the Mohall banker,
has been in the south and the west
investigating the raising of alfalfa.
Mr.. Sleeper thinks that alfalfa will
make the farmers rich in this coun-
try. In the south and west where
it is grown extensively, it is used for
fattening hogs and cattle. Poultry
will do we'll on it. 1t is one Of the
greatest foods that farmer can feed
his stock. Farmers by all means
must get into the alfalfa growing
business, or must raise corn or pc.
tatoes or clover. This is said to be
entirely possible in the state. Ex-
periments have proved that they can
be grown with success, when the
proper methods are observed.

The Independent is glad to note
that the Agricultural College has de-
cided upon a plan first suggested by
the Independent, to send an Agricul-

closer touch with the farming inter-
ests and farming methods. Our edi-
torial Of some weeks ago concerning
this plan, was copied by the Fargo
Forum. with full credit to the 1nde-
pendent, and the matter was taken at
once before Dean Shepperd and
President Worst Mr.. Hugh J. Hughes,
who has done notable journalistic
work in behalf of the college, will
have charge of the work for the en-
suing year. A letter received from
Mr.. Hughes by the Independent edl-
tor, states that he expects to visit
