THE MONEY ORDER SYsTEM.-It is not
generally known that the domestic Money
Order branch of the Post Office Depart
ment has heretofore been conducted al a
loss of a hundred thousand dollars a year,
and that a new law increasing the rates
was passed by Congress at its last session
TO go into effect on the 1st OF July. Full
seven Fights of the money orders issued
are for sums under ten dollars, which at
present costs only five cents. while it costs
the Government seven cents and a fraction
to issue an order. Under the new law the
rates will be ten cents for any sum up to
fifteen dollars over fifteen dollars and
not exceeding thirty dollars, fifteen cents;
over thirty dollars and not exceeding forty
dollars, twenty cents over forty dollars
and not exceeding fifty dollars, twenty-five
cents. This increase of rates, it is estima
ted, will increase the revenue in the same
ratio as it has heretofore decreased, without
infiicting hardship on those using this
branch ofthc service. Arrangements are
also nearly completed for the establish
ment Of a money order system between
the United States ana Canada, the neces-
sary inspections having been made by the

WE have been informed that potato
bugs in large numbers have been discov-
cred upon blowing up the ground for the
spring crops. Upon being exposed to the
warmth they have been speedily revived
and have shown a lively disposition, be-
ing evidently prepared for another sum-
mer's campaign. As the bugs will no
doubt be more numerous than they were
last year, it will be necessary for farmers
to wage an incessant warfare against them.
In many sections last summer sufficient at
tention was not paid TO the destruction Of
the bugs. The result was almost a total
failure of the potato crop, and a deplora-
bic increase OF the bugs. By thorough
and ~pains-taking labor they can be exter-
minated. One OF the most effective agents
in their destruction is Paris green, a few
applications OF which will destroy thou
sands of the pests.
