An Unnamed Country.

For years Canadians have protested
against the appropriation by the people
Of the United States Of the designation
American. They have held that 1t 10
presumptuous and improper for the peo-
pie Of nation to take unto themselves
the name Of continent. Canadians,
Mexicans, Peruvians, Bolivians, Mica
raguans, all have theoretically as much
right to be called Americans as have the
people of the United States.
But all these are blessed with q country
with name. The people Of our country,
on the other hand, are handicapped in
this respect, for the nation really has ro
name at all. 1t is merely collection Of
confederate states, and accepts this as q
makeshift designation. We may be
Ohioans or Kentuckians or Virginians OF
Vermonters, but it is going too far to ask
us to call ourselves "United Statesers" oi
.United Statesians''. We have to take
the title 'sAmerican" because we have ne
other.
The Buffalo Express quotes a Canadiar
correspondent as stating that the annoy
ance Of our northern neighbors becaus.
of our Appropriation OF the name "Ameri
can" is becoming less and less. Canadi
ans are proud to be called Canadians, ant
they are glad that they have q countr,
with real name. They even sympathiz,
with US because our own great natiol
was never conveniently christened.

they would measure eleven feet, all right.
Well, as said, he came tearing down the

planting his forward hoofs on either side
OF it, stopped to examine the wheel,

raised his head, gave a tremendous snort
and raced into the woods, breaking down
the small growth Of saplings as il they
had been bushes. The wind was blowing
toward me, and that probably is the
reason he didn't discover me. waited
ten minutes in the tree, and then, finding

has said: Successfully managed family
farms give to the father, the mother and
the children better opportunities for USE
full work and for happy life than sny
other occupation
"rhe farm is rich in opportunity enjoyed
under slight restraint. The farmer is less
disturbed than any body else about other
peoples money. Yet all this independ-
ence and all this opportunity must have a
basis somewhere. This basis is unques-
tionably the farmers inheritance in the
natural resources Of the land. When we
say OF man, generally, that he is inde-
pendent, or man OF independent means,
the very last thing that we mean is that
he has no wealth. We mean that he has
the wealth which makes him independent.
"And SO the farmer has the wealth
which makes him independent, and this
wealth is the forests, the soil, the water.
and the minerals. By the direct aid OF
the soil and the water he produces his
crops; indirectly he draws also upon the
forests and the mines. The depletion of
the soil and the want or excess OF moist
ure, cut down his crops. In precisely the
same way he will feel the change when
the price Of iron or OF coal rises, or when
1t costs more to get the wood that he
needs. So true is this that, though wood
has rarely been regarded as Q farm crop.
the farmer is coming to see that it really
10, and that good woodlot is the source
Of both saving and profit. Often, indeed,
the only way the farmer can make the
best Of all his land Is to grow wood.
"But the need Of wood for fences, for
fuel, and for building material il only
part Of the farmers dependence upon the
forest. Just - the New England manu-
facturer needs the forest to protect the
wster which he uses to drive his mill, so
the farmer needs the forest to protect the
soil which he cuttivates. Stripping the
forest from the wrong place that is, from
the slopes on which nothing else grows
20 well-has exposed the coil of these
slopes to the wash Of the rains, with the
result that at least one billion tons of
fertile soil 10 swept away by the freshets
every year, and lost in the SEQ. Too often
the soil washed from quilted hills, sandy
and infertile, is spread over the rich bot
tom-lands BY tho food waters, and they
are made hopelessly barren.
1.-THE individual farmer 10 not always
himself responsible for these results Of
wasteful forest use; that is, he has not
always brought them on by his own posi-
tive action. But he is responsible il he
fails to grasp and act upon the truth in
this matter when it is laid before him,
when he has not asserted his rights as q
citizen against the injury done to this
New England OF ours, which is his home.
Thus both his pocket book and his public
spirit should impel the New England far
mer to insist upon the conservation OF the
New England forests.
