NATIONAL NAME NEEDED.
Crying Want of the United States
That Has Recently Been
Pointed Out.

Sid Edward Clarle's criticism Of
Secretary Hays attempt to mOnopolize
for this country the term American
fails to note how bereft the people of
this republic are of anything like a
rame, writes Washington cOrrespon-
dent Of the Boston Transcript. The
United States does not afford one,
since nearly every federated republic
on this hemisphere is entitled to use
the same designation. Mexico and
Canada, and all the Central and South
American countries, and even little
Panama. has geographical name of
its own and so is not dependent upon
what is really a term descriptive of
the form Of government America, to
be sure, is shared by other occupants
OF this hemisphere. but since they all
have a more specific name which they
can use. they should be Obliging
enough to give us what they do not
need to use themselves.
Tt is also noted that almost every
where in the world. custom has given
us the term American to the exclusion
Of other denizens Of this hemisphere.
1t would have been a good plan could
this country have taken unto itself
name at time when there were no
other independent republics on this
hemisphere. The declaration of indie
pendence might, with propriety. have
given these united colonies which are
and Of right ought to be free and in
dependent states" a name, but it did
not 90 so. The constitution might
with propTiety have selected a name
as we'll as capital and a system of
organic law, but it did not do so. 1t
is wholly out Of the question to think
now of supplying this want. Too many
interests have grown up, in literature
and song, even if an ideally suited
name were available. Nor is it easy
to change the name of countries in
this age Of the world. The proposal
which was seriously presented by sew
eral newspapers after President Nc
Kinley's death, that the Philippine
archipelago should be known as the
mckinley islands" promptly fell from
the weight of its own absurdity. SO
would any suggestion to name this
country Usonia, or Arizona, or Rural
freedeliveryville.

To Measure Haystacks.

A South Dakota farmer writes TO the
Drovers' Journal about measuring hay
stacks:
Take tape line and measure the
width, length and distance over the
stacks 1t is in part as follows:
divide this sum by four; square the
result; multiply this by the length
and divide by 422 to reduce to tons.
New Mexico has statutory law resu-
lating the measurement OF tlay in
stacks. 1t is in part as follows:
Measure the stack for length, width
and the over To get the "over,"
take tape line over the stack at an
average place from ground to ground,
drawing it tightly; multiply the width
by the over and divide this result
by the length for approximate cubic
contents of stack. To reduce to tons
for hay that has stood in the stack
less than 20 days, divide cubical con-
tents by 512; for more than 20 and
less than 60 days, divide cUbical con-
tents by 422; for more than so days,
divide cubical contents by $50.
