Telegram BOmbardment.

The biggest Geographic lombard
ment ever fired on congress was that
drawn out by the campaign of the
railway employees to defeat the anti
pass amendment in the rate bill. Ten
thousand kilograms were poured In
through one company in less than
twenty-four hours. .rg
The tolls expended on the kilograms
were estimated at $4,000. The. com.
pany did not have operators to handle
the business and sent urgent calls for
assistance to Philadelphia and Balti-
more.
Practically every member of the SEN
ate and house received kilograms. One
received 800.
The bombardment was arranged by
the lobbyist of the railway employees.
He has been stationed in Washington
all winter watching the rate bill.
When he realized that all railway en-
ployes would be obliged to pay fare
he wired branch chapters to get busy.
The kilograms were of all sorts.
SOrae were brief and polite. Others
were long and argumentative. Still
others were threatening. They fell on
congress. like a plague, and the states
men looked more worried than they
have looked for many months.

Sacrificed to the speed mania of
the Briton, twenty-five Americans
have died far away from home. 1t
certainly is no tribute to British
railway knowledge and accomplish
ment that an accident occurred that
never would have happened on an
American railroad under similar
conditions. It is a peculiar and
significant fact that when a wreck
does occur IN England or other
foreign countries, it invariable is a
veritable shambles. America has
more wrecks because we have more
railroads, but the proportion of
fatalities, when they occur, is
smaller.

sentiallY intact. What was this
change in 1.-THE very nature" of the
Union? Instead of regarding the
state government and the national
government as two, each struggling
for its rights we regard them as
one. That is the pro eedure of the
American Spirit" There is no
thing mechanical about this pro-
cess. 1t is organic.
The patriotism of the present and
of the future is not, and will not be
sectional, but national. The state
has lost none of its Importance. The
state is still the guardian of our
daily welfare. A moments refec-
ton will reveal that fact. To the
state we look for civil and religious
rights; to the state we look for the
education of the citizen; the state
regulates the suffrage; partnership,
debt, credit, insurance and all social
and business relations. Why the
national idea then? The nation is
the warrant that enables the state
to exist. 1t is that power that MALL
tains every principle of government
which we cherish and ENJOY. This
truth was not clear fifty years ago.
1t is the greatest effect of the Civil
war. All the other effects are, in
our judgement, of minor import
ance, and could have been accomp-
lished without bloodshed. But look
ing impartially at the facts in our
history, we must conclude that the
war of secession was inevitable, and
in that fiery furnace the beautiful
truth we have mentioned was
moulded.
The American spirit" is casting
aside bigotry and prejudice and is
viewing the facts from a true per-
spective. The spirit of the new
patriotism gives due honor to the
brave men and the heroic women
who sacrificed themselves, and all
they had for cause that failed.
May such lofty and manly patriot
ism live forever

P A T RIO IT'S NJ

The following editorial was writ
ten for the Middletown ,(Ohio) Daily
News by Rev. Evans, formerly pas
tor of the Episcopal church on this
city:
Patriotism! What a mighty word
With the division of the human
race into families, tribes and ma
tions, patriotism acquired a new
meaning with each advancing step.
1t has enlarged with the growth of
civilization. Devotion to the family
expanded into devotion to the tribe,
and from the tribe to the nation.
Nations become distinct and are
bound by certain divisions Of the
globe. That soil becomes the nations
home; it's fatherland and the nation
will shed it's last drop of blood in
its defense. That particular dlvi-
sion Of the globe had been won by
conquest and must be defended by
the sacrifice of treasure and life.
That developed patriotism. The
diversity of language and manners
and customs, which prevail among
the different nations, are also causes
which tend to keep alive this
patriotic eminent.
But is war necessary for the spirit
OF patriotism? AS civilization adj
vances jealousies and rivalries be-
tween nations deminish. The bar
riers which hitherto kept nations
asunder are being broken down,
and natives are beginning to under
stand each other, and to learn that
their interests are Identical and not
diverse. All this has a tendency to
weaken the patriot feeling. 1t does
and will weaken it unless we under
stand what true patriotism is.
Word urns into which the genera
tions empty their treasurer.
Thought advances and language,
the drapery of thought, is enriched
In the process.
Is the spirit Of patriotism en-
dangered by the increase of the
nations wealth and it's gain in
strength and power and honorable
relations to other states? Some
answer in the affirmative, and
mourn the decadence of the patriotic
feeling. Is it necessary we ask to
keep a war cloud lowering on the
horizon in order to keep alive this
sentiment which is a part of our
manhood? We believe not. We
believe the American Spirit to-
day is patriotic to the core. We
also believe that this sentiment
rests on a different foundation.
This is an age Of transformation
Everything is disturbed in the pro-
cess. The evolutionary fact has
entered into our thinking. We re-
Joice in and welcome the new

THE ONION PATCH.

Experience with onion raising cov- ering several years leads to the belief that the most economical as we'll as the most satisfactory preparation of land for the crop consists in a summer following of the piece of land to be used the season before one wishes to raise the onion crop. This should con- sist of successive plowings and disking, which will result In bringing to the surface, germinating and killing just as much of the weed seed In the soil as possible. The decrease in the cost of weeding coupled with the satisfac- ton of having the crop In clean con- dition will pay for the rental of the land three times over A fine clover meadow which was remarkably free from weeds last season and the second crop on which was plowed under last September now shows no end of pigeon grass, which must have lain dormant through last year. the presence of which will very largely increase the cost of wedding. If the piece of land selected for the onion patch is not known to be reasonably free from weed seeds the plan of summer fallow- ing will be found by far the most sat iSfactory.

THE BOY IN VACATION.

The boy Is much the same proposi- ton whether he lives In town or coun- try-eager, restless, inquisitive, anx- ious to be at something, as a rule tired of books, and rightly so at the close of tue school year, and you have him on your hands this summer. What to do with him and how to keep him en- pioyed so as to have him somewhat more strong and rugged, with habits of industry more firmly fixed and possessing q better sense of his respon- sibility as social and economic factor, is the problem before you. The play instinct Is satisfied In the few days following the close of school, and If he Is normal he will be wanting to go to work and earn some money. While the legal right exists of taking all the money he can earn in return for the expense of his keep during the remain der of the year 1t Is seldom wise to carry it out to the letter. Let the boy have enough to spend for the satisfac- tion of his boys needs and encourage the starting of bank account It will not need to be large before he will feel a real interest in it and will want to increase 1t in every way that he can. If during the present summer there are brought home to the boy or girl lessons of industry and saving, 1t will in the long run prove as helpful as any lesson got from books. In general way 1t may be said that boys, like animals, respond to considerate treatment. This is their due and will also bring the largest measure of satisfaction to both parent and child.

SCIENTIFIC FORESTRY.

A bulletin recently issued by the for st service of the department of aSri- culture contains interesting data rela- tive to the stumpage business of the national government. It shows how, as q result of a series of legislative enact ments beginning in 1891 under Presi- dent Harrison and closing with the measure enacted in February, 1905, which transferred the entire forest in- terests of the government to the de- partmcnt of agriculture, forest pre- serves have been created, the proper administration of them arranged and n skilled force trained to attend to the detail of administrative work. The policy upon which these forest reserves are now administered Is indicated by tle following extracts from a letter written by Secretary, Wilson to the forester In chief:
 Tn the administration of the forest reserves 1t must be clearly borne in mind that all land Is to be devoted to It's most productive use for the perma- nent good of the whole people and not for the temporary benefit of individu- aIs or companies. All the resources of forest reserves are for use, and this must be brought about in thoroughly prompt and businesslike manner under such restrictions only as will insure the permanence of these resources.
 You will see to 1t that the water, wood and forage of the reserves are conserved and wisely used for the ben eft of the home builder first of all. In tue management of each reserve local questions will be decided upon local grounds. Where conflicting interests must be rcconciled the question will always be decided from the standpoint of the greatest good to the greatest number in the long run.''
 One of the important aspects of the work under the new administration has to do with the sale of timber from the reserves. The amount of revenue re- ceived from this source during the year 1905 amounts to nearly $2T5,0O0. Bids are received on those portions of the forest reserve which can be safely cut. 1Ie work Is done under the local su- pervision of the forest service, and the terms of sale are such that speculation Is impossible, as the timber to be cut has to be removed within specified time, and in case the contract extends over period of years-iI no case more than five-a proportionate amount of timber has to be removed each year. The importance of Saving these tim Der reserves under able supervision of careful and disinterested men Is real iZed when one appreciates the mag nieude of the governments timber holdings. A single sale of 50,000,OO0 feet of lodge pole pine for railroad ties Is pending on the Montana division of tic Yellowstone forest reserve, while 1t Is estimated that 165.000,000 feet, board measure, of this same kind of pine can be cut from one watershed of the Medicine Bow forest reserve. The entire property of the forest reserves, worth $25O, ,0Oo,0o0 in cash. Is now be- Ing administered at a cost of less than one-third of l per cent of Its value. while increase In that value of not less than 10 per cent year Is taking place. The day Is thought to be not far distant when these reserves may be expected to become source of pub lif. rovapna

COUNTY EXPERIMENT STATIONS.


 \ departure that gives promise of adding greatly to the value and effec- tiveness of the work now being done ut the state experiment stations and one that has been much discussed of late has in view carrying out of the prac- ticSl work done at the places mention cd at the different county farms. h. stead of being compelled to study state experiments at long range and having to digest bulletins which are more or less technical and whose data and find- ings are to some extent invalidated because of a variation in latitude, cli- mate or soil condition, under the plan proposed these experiments are to be carried out under conditions that are known and which exist In each locality. The work to he done at the county sta tions gives promise Of being especially valuable along the line of testing the value of different kinds of corn. grain and grasses that are at present grown, and later the introduction of new va rieties, the conducting of feeding ex- periments and the putting to practical test of the many suggestions that grow out of the state work. The line of ex- pertinent proposed Is to be carried on under the direction of the state author lties. who will receive the cooperation of the county board of supervisors. In the writer's home county work of this kind is to be undertaken, the board having set aside a certain sum for the prosecution of the work. This year the seed corn that has been planted In the county is to be given a thorough test and an oracular demonstration given of the advantage and disadvantage of planting good and poor seed. The plan outlined would seem to be one that had in 1t the possibility of almost limitless extension and development and one fraught with great results for the agri- cultural interests of the whole country.
