THE SOLDIERS OF THE SOUTH.

Aprepos the near approach OF Con-
federate Memorial Day it is just as
we'll to emphasize anew the fact that
the great struggle of the South In
1876 was not Shareholders war
that is was not fought out by slave
owners in defense Of their private
property rights. There is no truth In
the statement that the non-slavehold-
ing element of the population took lit
tie or no interest in the military
movements.
The New Orleans Picayune, in dis
cussing this question, gives the hg-
ures of the population of the war pc
riod, as follows:
"The population of the republic. as
shown by the census of 1860, was, in
round numbers, 3O,000,O00. OF this
number 100000, or two-thirds, of
the whole were in the Northern states,
and 1O,OO0,O 900, or one-third, in the
South. OF these 1O,OOO,0OO, 100000
were whites and 100000 were negro
slaves. Of these 10000 whites. half
were females, and the other half, or
5000 900, were males. OF these males
all who were able-bodied and between
the ages of eighteen and forty-hye
years were subject to military duty
These numbered about 100000
From first to last there were about
100000 men in the Confederate army
which was more than one-half the
whole military strength of the South
When we come to the slave owners
they did not number more than 400,
900. There were 1000 persons in the
South who owned as many as 1O(
slaves each and 100000 who owned
from one slave up to 100. 1t was :
well-known fact that wealthy meI
were able to keep out Of the army
while poor men could not"
A law exempted from military dut,
all who owned as many as twent
slaves, and the Confederate regiment
were filled as rule by farmers boy
from the country and by clerks an
mechanics from the towns.
1.-THE young men of the South" add
the Picayune, may not in many case
have had any very clear ideas of tn
causes that led up to the war, bu
they fully understood what it was

Southern state by a Northern arm

SINCE APPOMATTOX.

In a thoughtful and intelligent ed1-
torial the Newport, r. l., Herald dis
courses the South of today, in con-
nection with the close of the Civil
War, and the anniversary of the sur
render of General Lee. 1t says in
part:
s"This is the South forty-four years
after Appomattox. The men OF the
old South went to their homes after
the surrender and set to work in grim
earnest. They laid the foundations OF
restoration firmly and deeply. Their
sons and grandsons have carried on
the work with intelligence, energy
and efficiency. Today the South is
the most American part of this Union
of forty-six states. There are no out
ward evidences of the havoc and ruin
wrought by four years OF civil conflict.
The economic regeneration of the
South is one Of the most amazing
achievements of modern times. Aid
ed substantially as it has been by
other sections, the general result Is,
nevertheless, an enduring monument
to the invincible spirit and the infiex-
ible determination of the men who
many years ago at Appomattox &C
cepted the results of war in good
faith, and, guided by the wise coun-
sells of their leader. General Lee
buckled down to work on the farms
and in business and in the profes-
sions in the siprit of brave and true
men. Peace hath it's victories no less
renowned than war. One OF the finest
pages in the history Of the United
States is that which records the work
of Southern men and women after Ap'
pomattox."
All of which is true, and in this lies
the glory of the South, and the great
ness of the American people.
| It is rather singular, however, tina
now one of these soldiers is criticized
for not acquiring a collegiate educa
| ton in the years that followed Apo
mattox.

MIR. WqCKERSHAM AND THE
TRUSTS.

The recent speech of Attorney-Gen-
eral Wickersham before the members
of the bar in New York last Friday
is variously construed. When he said
he would be tthe last to authorize the
institution of criminal proceedings
against men who, without the intent
to violate the law, have nevertheless
acted in technical contravention of
the extreme and most drastic con-
struction of that amendment" refer
ring to the monopoly clause Of the
Sherman antitrust act, some began
to say he had become reactionary. He
went on to say that the present ad-
ministration would not hesitate to
withdraw suits that had been begun
without sufficient consideration and
without adequate cause and this
displeased still more people.
But after all, it is not clear that he
intends to take a backward step. He
does desire some amendments of the
Sherman law. So did Mr.. Roosevelt
But he told the trusts plainly that
the price of peace is obedience to the
law" The malefactors can get but
little comfort from this, nor can they
get any more from a further warning
embraced in his speech. ANY at

with the present construction of that
law (anti-trust 1aw) agreed upon by
all the higher courts, to combine in
the form of trust or otherwise, with
the obvious intention of restraining
commerce among the states or of ere

part of that commerce, would evil

THE INDUSTRIAL NEGRO.

Despite all statistics to the contrary
the negro farmer and the negro farm
hand are still important factors in the
great agricultural industry in the
South. The holdings OF land by ne
gro farmers are said to be increasing
in all of the cotton states. Those who
are good farmers pay for the land
they till, while those who are lazy OF
slovenly oftentfmes lose their hold

hands are, as rule, not doing well

THE SILO AND ALFALFA.

Professor w. ]. Fraser, of the ILL.,
nois Agricultural College, in referring
to silage and alfalfa as great helps
for the dairy farmer says:
The summer silo gives the best and
most economical protection of all
against drouth.
One of the very greatest crops for
the dairyman, and one which is now
being successfully grown on thou
sands of farms in Illinois, is alfalfa.
Every dairyman should have a patch
of alfalfa, and this will supply the
finest Of feed when the drouth has
ruined ordinary pastures. The al
falfa at the university yielded more
than six tons of air dry hay per acre
last year.
The great advantage of corn in the
silo and alfalfa is that they not only
produce the largest yield of nutrients
per acre of any crops, but are in the
best condition for feeding at what
ever date the pasture may fail, while
1t is difficult to have a constant sup
ply of other soiling crops in the right
stage of maturity at and during the
uncertain time of the drouth.
Never, under any conditions, allow
the cows to so hungry and suffer loss
of milk during the summer drouth,
which for several reasons is the most
trying season for the dairy herd.

The Worlds Tow shop.

For many years the city of Nurem-
berg, Germany, has been the center
of the toy trade Of the world, the
principal products being metal toys
Of infinite variety and, to some extent,
toys of wood or pasteboard. Some
10000 people are employed in this
industry in the twin cities of Nurem-
berg and Fuerth, about one-half Of
the number being women and girls.
There are half a dozen factories, the
largest Of which gives employment to
l,500 persons, but in addition to these
there are many smaller concerns en-
ploying from 10 to 100 people each.
The average annual toy output Of
this district is valued at approximate.
ly $4,500,000, and about one-third of
the entire product goes to the United
States. In addition to these metal
toys many marbles, rubber balls, and
celluloid toys are exported to this
country-no less than SPILL worth
of marbles having been purchased in
Nuremberg last year for the amuse-
ment of the American boy.-Harper'

WEAN THE PIGS.

1t is not good plan to take all the
pigs from the SOW unless one or two
of them can be turned with her some
hours after, to draw the milk she will
have at that time, and again, say af-
ter lapse of twenty-four hours. The
preferred way is to leave two of the
smallest with her for several days, and
after that leave only one for two or
three days, by which time the flow
Of milk will have been so gradually
diminished that no injury will result
to the SOW by keeping them entirely
away from her. This extra supply of
milk helps also to push the smaller
pigs along in growth and put them
more nearly on an equality in size
with their thriftier mates.-From Co
