COUNTRY FREE DELIVERY.

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Said to Be Con-
sidering n Plan For Free Delivery In the
COuntFy-Ths Ten Block system.
WASHINGTON, March THE ten
block system of locating and mum ber-
ing country houses, so successfully in
trOduced in Contra Costa county, Cali
fOrnia, has recently engaged the atten-
tiOn of the postmaster general, who
wants to see if it is not of import
ancs in connection with the ex-
tension of the free delivery into
the country. The practical working
of the Contra Costa plan is especial
" gratifying to all friends of rural
free delivery, because it removes the
only obstacle to rapid and accurate
service in the country. 1t is a Textbook
system with the same usefulness and
even greater accuracy than that of the
city system, because it gives not only
the location, but the exact distance of
every house from a given point.
Starting from convenient center, say
the county seat, each mile is divided
into ten equal blocks or parts, having
a frontage of thirty-twO rods. Two
numbers are assigned to each block
the odd ones on the left and the even
ones on the right
Wherever country houses are near
enough to be situated within the same
block they have the same number, but
are distinguished as follows: 525, 525A,
525 b, etc Distances can be quickly
calculated from the county seat or
from one house to another BY the sim
pie method of dividing the difference
by two, there being two humble in
each block and the result by ten for
answer in miles As the sec
ond step is instantaneous by the
decimal method of pointing off
the two places, the entire pro-
cess is very rapid. For instance
425 is 213 blocks or tenths of miles,
equivalent to 2i.3 miles from the eoun-
ty seat or point of departure. Sig
nihcant and appropriate names are
given to roads, and all byroads are
further indicated by the three words:
'Local, cOnnex and exit" which have
definite aud uniform meanings; tho
first having no outlet, usually termi-
mating in the hills and for local con-
venience only; the second applied to
short connecting roads, and the third
having no outlet by land, usually end
ing at a landing with water exit

srncK rEhae

Sheep scatter their droppings more
evenly ovor the land than any other
stock
Usually with hogs intended for sLring
N market It viii be best TO commence
eToETdiug in good seasOa-
To make the best quality of meat
give the hogs clean feed, pure water
and comfortable quarters
Pigs need more or less grain every
day from the time they learn TO eat M
til they are finished for market
One of the items in the care and man
agement Of hogs both in breeding and
feeding is to maintain cons titutional
vigOr.
Ten good grade cattle, we'll cared
for and fed, viii return "a better profit
than twenty scrubs left to care for
themselves.
In breeding with all classes of ami
mails there will be some inferior ami
mails, hence the necessity for continued
care full selection.
Young stock Of all kinds need espe-
ciai care during the next month or six
weeks on account Of the changeab BILE
ness of the weather.
With sheep as with other stock first
cross malzes a good feeding animal, but
the breeding cannot be carried any
farther with profit.
Sheep viii thrive better if they can
be given a change of pastures occas ion
ally. In nearly all cases two pasture s
are better than one.
When kept for mutton alone the
sheep require extra care. Good past
urage with liberal feeding is necessary
to secure the best results.
Filthy quarters at this time is often
the cause of disease among the sheep,
especially when the weather is rainy
and the quarters get damp in addition.
Plenty of cheap pasturage in summer
and plenty of good rough feed in win
ter are two essentials in realizing the
largest profit with cattle on the farm
Lambs, wool, muttOns and manure
are the four essential points OF sheep
raising and with all four, If properly
managed, a fair profit should be real
lied.
a good grade of stock, good and
cheap Pasturage, plenty OF cheap feed
during the winter, and good care are
the essentials of profitable cattle keep
ing.
While cattle relish green food early
in the spring it is a detriment to turn
them into pastures until the grass has
made a sufficient growth to furnish a
full supply of feed.
Because a hog occasionally delights
in wallOwiug in the mud is hardly d
sufficient reason for considering them
naturally filthy. Give them a fair Op-
portunity and they Will keep clean.
