KNOW
THY COUNTRY

"Know Americai' is a slogan that
should ring out from every schoolroom,
Office, farm aud shop in this nation.
No man can aspire to a higher honor
than to become a capable citizen, and
no one can merit so distinguished a
title until he is well informed of the
resources, possibilities and achieve
ments of our country.
This is a commercial age, and civil
ization is bearing it's most golden fruit
in America We are noted for our IN
d~ustrial achievements as Egypt was
noted for her pyramids, Jerusalem for
her religion, Greece for her art, Phoc-
nicia for her fleets, Chaldea for her as
tronomy, and Rome for her laws. Like
wise we have men who viii go down
in the worlds history as powerful pro
duets of their age. For, standing at
the source of every gigantic movement
that sways civilization is a great man.
The greatest minds travel in the great
est direction, and the commercial gen
fuses of this age would have been the
sculptors, poets, philosophers, archi-
tects and artists of earlier civiliza-
tions.
As Michel Angelo took a rock and
with a chisel hewed it into the image
Of an angel that ever beckons mankind
upward and onward, Hill took the des-
ert of the northwest and with bands
of steel made it blossom like a rose,
dotted the valleys with happy homes
and built cities in waste places.
AS Gutenberg took blocks Of wood
and whitfield them into an alphabet
and made a printing press that flashed
education across the continent like a
ray of light upon a newborn world, Me
ormick took a bar of iron and bent it
into a reaper and with one sweep of
his magic mind broke the shaekles that
enslaved labor of generations yet I'M
born and gave mankind freedom from
into a higher zone of life.
AS Nelson organized the English ma
Wy and made England mistress of the
sea, enabling the British isles to plant

by the ocean s waves and to make
footstools of the islands of every wa

TEN that has made America master of

There is no study quite so interest
ing as progress, no sound so magic as
roar of industry and no sight so in

Probably the smallest money order
ever SEN from Eatonton, Ca, was
sent recently. A man walked into the
post office, asking for a mercy order
for three cents, which he owed to his
society, and he said he would have
to send a money order, as it didn't
take stamps. The money order cost
him three cents, and it took a two

PLANTING THE WALNUT TREE
Prepare Soil Carefully and Plant Nuts
Three Feet Apart in Furrows--
Carefully Conserve Moisture.

Black walnut seeds are to be gath
cred in the fall. and the nuts care
fully stratifed The nuts are not to
be hulled even when the seed is
planted, as the hull interferes in no
way with the termination, and it may
prevent the nut from drying out.
Gather the nuts, and alternate q
layer of them with layer of sand
and leaves. Moisten the pile, and
allow it to freeze. Let 1t remain moist
and frozen all of the winter.
Plant the seed next spring as soon
as the ground is In workable condi-
ton. Black walnut trees will not
make good growth unless the ground
Is rich, and they ought not to be
planted on any other kind. Prepare
/ the land carefully and plant the nuts
three feet apart in burrows ten feet
apart. Plant the nuts four inches
deep. AS the black walnut is very SEN
sitive to dry. parched conditions, it is
necessary to give the trees good cul-
tivation, and carefully conserve the
moisture.

SAYINGS OF PROF. HEDRIcK
Careful Account Kept of Cost of Grow.
Ing Apples and of Profits Under
Intelligent Management.

Professor Hedrick of the New York
state experiment station at Geneva
has kept careful account of the cost
of growing apples, and of the profits
under intelligent management The
net income from the orchard averaged
during the ten year test period $93.74
an acre, equal to 18& per cent on a
$500 investment He expects the or
chard to do as well or better during
the next twenty years.
The question of tillage versus sod
mulch in orchards has been often and
heatedly discussed. Professor He'd
rick states that for every dollar he
has taken out Of the sod half Of the
test orchard he has taken $1.54 out Of
the titled half.
Apples are found more highly col,
ored on sod than on titled trees. They
are also earlier and drier The titled
fruit is about two weeks later, keeps
better and is of higher quality The
titled trees now are much better IN
general appearance.

white streak down the middle,
barred wings of brown-gray and white,
and little touch of red on each side
of the poll. Their bills are long,
strong and sharp and they use them
for hammer and chisel. Their tongues
are long and cylindrical, terminating
in hard barbed point. we'll fitted to
draw out the smallest and wariest
worm. Their legs terminate in four
toes, two on each side. which together
with their stiff tail-feathers, give them
remarkable purchase power.
The hairy woodpecker is a noisy
bird and likes the forest as well as
the orchard. Like some physicians, it
is always calling attention to its good
deeds by loud cries and rapid fights.
The downy woodpecker, on the other
hand, is quiet and unobtrusive, so
busy with its work that it forgets to
advertise and sometimes even forgets
to be afraid. It is the smallest bird
Of its family and may be distinguished
from the hairy by its smallness and
it's gentle manners.
The downy woodpecker loves the
orchard and is prominently the farm
er's friend; and if any man believes
the bird is eating his fruit without
due cause, let him examine the apple

tanned a worm. Some fruit this bird
must have, but it prefers wild berries.
These birds are not fond of travel,
and in winter they may be found as
busily at work as in the warmer
months, and they are probably more
noticed in winter because of the leaf
less trees. Downy is very sociable,
and when the bird tourists have taken
their departure, he associates with
nuthatches, creepers and titmice, who
all like to forage over the bark of
trees.
The larvae and pupae of beetles con-
stitute the chief food of these wood
peckers, but the birds also consume
quantities of weevils, ants, bugs, cater
pillars, grasshoppers, flies and other
insects, more than three-fourths of
their food being animal. e. Dwight
Sanderson of the New Hampshire ag-
ricultural experiment station, says:
THE downy woodpecker is the arch
enemy Of the codling moth and were
1t not for his good Offices in destroy
ing the larvae in winter, your crop
might frequently be failure"
Let no man, then, disregard the
counsel Of these competent surgeons,
but rather let him aid in restoring
health to the sick trees, for what these
trees need and must have is a bath--a
good lime-sulphur bath-and thor
ough drenching.

Iof 1911. Commander w. c. Cole, Of
the academy Immediately began a
search for some one who knew how
to save the valuable relics in his
care. The Smithsoian Institute was
consulted, but to no purpose.
Then the curator of flags at the
Massachusetts State House was asFed
to offer some suggestions as to the
best method of restoring the precious
trophies to semblance of their
former strength and beauty. Former
Governor Curtis Guild, Jr., at once
recommended Mrs. Fowler, and the
government requested that she ex-
anime the tattered flags.
Mrs. Fowler insisted that the only
method practicable in the restoration
of the flags would be that used in the
making of the Bayeux tapestries by
the Duchess of Burgundy more than
one thousand years ago. This method

that she made practically indestruc-

Flags In the State House, Boston.
Originally the work was taken up
as pastime, but her skill could not
be long unknown. At first her atten-
ton was given entirely to the making
of new flags and banners. She has
embroidered colors for every state
regiment and the ancient and honor
able artillery, besides many banners
for civic bodies. An original stitch

LITTLE FRUIT TREE DOCTORS
Instinct Which Leads Them uneri
ringIy to Locate Cooling Moth or !
Apple Borer Is Sure and True.

There are two woodpeckers every
farmer ought to know. They should
be as welcome as the family doctor
in time of need, for their visits are all
ways paid to the sick. Unlike the
doctor, writes q. Young Wead In
Green's Fruit Grower, they come with
out being called and they require no
fee. The doctor can't live on worms;
the woodpecker can; and the bill
which he presents is inserted in the
tree and brings out a nice, fat, juicy
grub.
Their surgical instruments are all
ways with them, always clean, sharp
and ready for use, and their diagnosis
is always correct They never open q
body in the wrong place only to find
that the seat Of the trouble is some
where else. The instinct which leads
them unerringly to locate codling
moth or apple borer is sure and true,
and though after one of their visits an
unsightly wound may be left, the
health of the tree will be vastly inn
proved.
The hairy and the downy woodpeckers
are pretty birds, common throughout
the United States. They have breasts

AMELIA FULLER;
FLAG EXPERT

Mrs. Amelia Fowler, of Waltham,
has the honor of being the woman
selected by the government to super
wise the expenditure of $4,000:
sum appropriated by congress for the
preservation of the collection of his
torical battle-fiags stored at the
Naval Academy in Annapolis. !.
Some Of these flags we're taken in
battle as long as century ago.
Others are of value because of the
world-famous sea-fighters over whose
battles they waved.
All Of them-and there are 1876
flags in the entire collection-are
now almost destroyed by the ravages
of time and the even more destruc-
tive inroads of the ubiquitous moth.
In the collection there is the bat
tle--fag used as signal for opening
fire at the battle of Lake Erie. An
other is a British royal standard,
at York, Canada, in 1913,
by a squadron under Commander
Chauncey The ensign taken on the
Alert in 1912 by Captain David Por-
ter is one of the most interesting
flags in the collection. Other notable
standards that are fast going to ruin
are the flags flown by the Spanish
squadron in the battle of Manila Bay,
the flag of the governor-general of
the Philippine Islands, taken by Adj
miral Dewey in 1898, and the ensign
hoisted in Japan by Commodore Per-
ry at the time Of his interview with
the Japanese commissioners at IRA
ga.
The deplorable condition of the
old flags was not known until the
great wooden boxes in which they
are stored were opened in the spring

DAMAGE BY cURRANT MAGGoT
Worst Pest of Small Bush Fruits-Its
Attack Causes Berries to Turn
Red and Drop to Ground.

By C. P. GILLETTE. Colorado Expert
ment Station)
Perhaps the worst pest to the cur.
rant and gooseberry is the maggot
that gets into the fruit before the ber-
ries are ripe, causing them to turn
red and drop. The adult insect is a fly
about the size of an ordinary house
fly, but light yellowish brown in
color with dusky bands crossing its
wings. This fly deposits its eggs, one
in place, just beneath the skin Of
the currant and gooseberries, which
upon Matching develop into the mag.
got. The fruit drops to the ground
and the maggot escapes and burrows
a little beneath the surface of the
soil and remains until the next spring.

It is proposed for the post office
to receive the same fees it now re-
ceives; namely, two cents for each
letter and one cent for each card;
for special delivery the regular fee
of 10 cents.
The postmaster of one of the most
prominent cities in the country re-
recently said, 1T will be a very pro-
|fitable business for the post office,
as they get the usual fee and the
telepost does all the expensive part
of the work"
In consideration of this fact the
post office department may reason
ably give what is called preferential
service in handling the letters and
cards of the electric mail.
Present Means of Communication
Postal card, one cent; letter, two
cents; ten cents additional for special
delivery; night letter (by wire), 25
cents to 81 for SO words; day letter
(by wire), 3S cents to $3.50 for SO
words; telegram, 25 cents to 81 for
10 words; long distance telephone,
40 cents to 50 for three minutes.
An analysis of the above means of
communication discloses the adyant-
ages and even necessity for the cleo
trio mail.
There are very few cities in the
United States SO close together that
a letter can be sent and reply re-
ceived during the business hours of
one day. To pay 10 cents for special
delivery to secure one to two hours
advance delivery CT a letter that has
taken sometimes 20 to 80 hours or
more for train transportation is al
most absurd.
A night letter cannot have a reply
until the next day as it must be
handed in to the telegraph company
before midnight of one day and will
not be delivered until some time the
next morning.
The day letter is exceedingly un-
certain. 1t is called deferred
service by the one company that gives
it. 1t was neer adopted by the other
telegraph company, as 1t was recog-
nized as likely to be unsatisfactory
and sure to be improbable to the
company.
Important and urgent business,
cases where quick action is necessary
or desirable, are confined to the reg
ular telegram, or the long distance
telephone. Unless the two cities are
cry close together the telephone
charge is prohibitive, leaving the
telegraph, costing from 25 cents to
81 as the only means of communica.
ton.
1t will be noted that there is now
no special serice or fast service be.
tween the special delivery letter and
the telegram. This is where the pro-
posed electric mail comes in. While
its charges approach those of the let
ter, the serice will be better than the
average man gets from the telegraph
companies. Although now some
specially favored classes get unusual
ly quick telegraph service, this is
glen at the expense of great many
others with whom telegram means
hours instead Of minutes.
A Concrete Example
In order to make plain just what
the electric mail means and how it is
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1915-06-04

demonstrate It's value TO the post OF
flee department, and report the
same to congress"
The advantage to all business in
terests of the country that will come
from the electric mail can readily be
seen, but the urgent need for such
service is made plain by the fact
that despite all of its progressiveness
and business snap this country,
though today first in the per capita
use of the mails, is thirteenth in the
per capita use of the telegraph. This
is undoubtedly due to the fact that
telegraph tolls are higher in the
United States than in any other
country in the world. However, from
now on the low rates of the telepost,
of 25 cents for 25 words, will in
crease the use of the telegraph en-
ormously. The still lower rates of
the proposed electric mail will still
further widen the scope of telegraph
service.
These low rates would be impos-
sible but for the remarkable econo-
mics and efficiency of the automatic
rapid system of telegraphy owned
and operated by the telepost.
Government Ownership
There has been a great deal of in
terest recently manifested in the
question of the governments owning
and operating the telegraph. The OPP
position to government ownership,
however, is SO great, and in fact, the
difficulty is apparently SO insur-
mountable, that it probably will be
/, a long time before the United States
takes over the telegraph business.
If the government ever does take
over the telegraph business of the
country, the electric mail will be its
most popular service
In the meantime, there is every
reason why the people or the United
States should have the electric mail
service. It will facilitate business
and commerce enormously. 1t does
not involve or depend upon govern
ment ownership of telepraghs in the
slightest degree. 1t does not commit
the government to government own
ership. 1t will require no appropria-
tion from congress, as the slight ex-
Dense, if any, incurred by the post
office department in handling it,
would be many times offset by the
great savings made by the post office
department in transportation
charges, etc.
The success of the electric mail
and it's immense servicableness to the
business and social interests of the
United States do not require or in
Iolve the government ownership of
lie telegraph lines and handling of
the telegraph bushes in any way.
The post office will simply contract
with the telepost to transmit the con-
'ents of letters and cards just as it
contracts with a railroad company
to carry actual letters and cards
The handling of the electric mail
from end to end, and from year to
year, will involve no change what
ever in present post office methods.
AS the charges will be paid in
stamps, the post office will reveice
when the stamps are first purchased
all that is due to it, and also all that
is due to the telepost.

among the currant and gooseberry
bushes after the fruit is off, for the
purpose of picking up these maggots
in the older stages of their develop
ment. Spading the soil around the
bushes SO that the surface soil will
be covered with four or five inches of
fresh dirt will also destroy great
many Of the insects. Whatever can
be done toward gathering the infest-
ed fruit and destroying it will also
lessen the number of flies to destroy
berries the following spring.
