The Postal Service Lecture.

A good audience greeted Capt.
Childs last Thursday evening to lis
ten to his paper on the postal service.
Much interest was manifested by the
audience and the closest attention was
given throughout. At the conclusion,
on motion of Rev. O. P. Fuller,
unanimous and hearty vote of thanks
was extended to the speaker.
Capt. Childs proved to be a very
pleasant speakar nnd took his audi
ence easily along the progressive
route of the postal service from its
earliest conception to the present
time, showing the wonderful advance
made during the present century, the
greater part of which has taken place
within the last forty OF fifty wears.
Much of interest locally was given
but lack of space forbids mentioning
only that referring to Londonderry, as

The Department Of Agriculture, during
the past three years, has devoted consider
able time to the study Of fruit tree and
vine diseases. This division was the first
agency in this country to introduce the
use of fungicides for grape diseases, and 1t
is estimated as result of its work that
nearly five thousand grape growers, In
nearly all parts of the country, treated
their whey ards for mildew and black rot,
in 1890. Probably in no part Of the
United States was the spraying Of the
grape vines and fruit trees put to moro OF
q severe test than at Nauvoo, ILL.,, the past
season. Nearly 1000 was invested there
in spraying outfits and material. The re-
suits have proven SO satisfactory that this
coming season almost every vintner and
win have a spraying outfit; In fact the
spraying outfits have become as much Of q
necessity as the pillow on farm.
It Is estimated that the extent of dam
age done to the fruit trees and vines in the
United States by insects and fungus dis
ease each year will reach four hundred
million dollars; in which event 1t is time
some method was devised to avoid this
heavy loss which is most felt by the grow
ers in years of scarcity. The scarcer the
fruit Is the more we have to contend with
insects.
Mr.. VIM. Stahl, of Quincy, H., has
made a special study of how to prevent
the ravages of insects and fungus diseases
and will send to anyone interested free Of
charge, full and descriptive treatise on
this subject.
