POSTAL RATES FOR OUR NEW poss ssioss
Postmaster General Issues an Order Regard
ina the Transmission OF Mail Matter.

While the Postmasters' Convention
was being held in Washington there
was some consultation at the postoftlce
department concerning postage for the
new possessions of the United States.
From the informal talk of some Of the
leading postmasters and department
officials il was understood that domes-
tic rates would be Immediately gwen.
For certain reasons it is not possible u
apply these rates to the HaWaliaii
islands just at present; and cuba IS IN
a peculiar position of neither being III
our possession or an independent
country.
Those who are Interested in mail for
these countries will be pleased to see
that the dispatches published in the
New York papers of the 25th show that
an order has been signed by the post
master general placing Porto Rico,
Guam and the Philippine archipelago
under domestic postal regulations. IN
doubtedly these regulations will be eX-
tended to Cuba and the Hawaiian
islands early in 1900.
The official order reads as follows:
That all mail matter passing be
tween the United States and Porto
Rico. Guam and the Philippine archl-
pelago or between these island posses
sions of the United States shall be SUD
iect to the United States domestic
classifications. conditions and rates OF
postage.
That all mail matter, except as pro-
vided in the next section, passing De
tween the United States and Cuba or
Hawaii: or between Cuba and HaWan'
or between Cuba or Hawaii and Porto
Rico. Guam or the Philippine archi-
pelago. shall be subject to the Postal
Union classification, conditions ana
rates of postage, provided that the
regulations for parcelspost exchanges
between the United States ana HaWal
shall continue as heretofore.
That the United States domestic
classification. conditions and rate
of postage shall apply to all man

BOARD OF HEALTH ACTS.
Sunday Schools and Public enteftann ehts
Placed Under Restriction.

Hereafter when any person or So
cietv wishes to have a public entertain
ment or gathering, they must go to the
health officer and secure a permit.
This IS the conclusion that the board OF
health has arrived at after having CON
s;dered the scarlet fever question.
After the action of Sunday afternoon,
advising that rehearsals Of the dances
for the Eastern Star entertainment be
stopped, and the postponing of the al
fair, the board believed that it should
carry its work further to prevent other
children from becoming exposed TO the
disease II was found that the Hi
Henry Minstrel troupe would come TO
Augusta, Friday evening, and an order
was agreed upon whereby all children
under 16 years of age will be prohibited
from attending the performance. Other
wise the entertainment will not be
bothered and will be allowed.
Then another order was the closing
of the Sunday schools until further no.
tice. The board believes that if it is
necessary to close the schools at this
time it certainly must be to close the
Sunday schools, 50 none will be held
until the board issues orders allowing
them to take place.
There are few entertainments in view
for the next two weeks and Health Of
ficer Davies said, Monday afternoon,
all that We're given would hereafter be
under the sanction of the board. All
managers of entertainments proposed
should consult with him and receive or
ders as TO the course that must be fol-
lowed and some classes of entertain
ments will not be permitted.
"All the schools are now closed but
Miss Partridge's kindergarten. the Pa
rochial school and the Cony High
school," said DR.. Davies. II shall see
Miss Partridge, this afternoon, and ad-
wise that this school be closed until
further notice. Up in the Parochial
school DR.. LaFrance visits the place
every day and with the Sisters looks
after the health of the children. In
case there is an absence, it is investi-
gated. They will be able to trace the
disease that way in case il breaks out
among the children. and if any cases
occur it can be closed.
Two cases appeared. Monday. One
on York street and one on Oxford
street, both in the infected district. The
stopping Of the rehearsals and the per
Torrance of the Eastern Star
Carnival of Dances after il
was explained seemed to graft

deemed the POSTPONE Il; DC ne per

FOR THE FARMER.
Feeding Cattle.

In profitable cattle feeding much
depends upon the kind of cattle be-
ing fed. Some animals will make
much better gain in proportion to
food supplied than others and this
difference will count in the profits.
In buying cattle, good breeder
can determine very accurately from
the appearance of steer his apti-
tude for taking on flesh.
The body of good feeder must
have length and roundness, giving
what is generally termed a deep
barrel. This gives room for the
capacious paunch in which the ma
terial is gathered, from which the
blood is derived, and at the same
time, the belly will not hang down,
giving the steer the appearance of
being pot bellied. This form gives
a wide breast, projecting we'll in
front of the fore legs. showing
plenty of room for the heart and
lungs to perform their proper func-
tions.
The animal should be ribbed
home-that is, there should be very
little space between the ribs and the
hip bones. This is a good indica-
ton that the animal will fatten
readily
The legs should be moderately
short and the bones fairly small, as
those may usually be taken as a
sample of the bony structure
throughout the animal.
A well-shaped head, level back
and a clean throat are essential.
The neck should be large where it
Joins the shoulders and should
taper we'll to where it joins the
head.
The hips should be large and
round, feeling fieshy when handled.
The thighs should be full and long
and close together when viewed
from behind, and continue so well
down the leg. The legs should be
fleshy to the knee and hook.
The hide should be thin, mellow

stacking Hay.

Let me give you better way of
putting up your hay than those two
old plans, which have their faults.
Shocking the hay and bringing it
in with ropes is too slow, and in
bull-raking it in you are liable to
begin stacking too soon, or your
hay is liable to get bleached, besides
you can not stack so evenly and
we'll on account of the hay being
too loose. Here is my plan: Make
two sleds out of poles or scantling,
something light. Get two poles to
run under shocks, to lift on sled
with; have hay shocked. Working
force of five men, one man to stack,
two men to pitch the hay, one man
to bring hay in from field, one man
to stay in field to assist in loading.
Run your small poles under shock,
load on sled until full, drive to
stack, hook to other sled for another
load. Leave load, first on one side
and then on the other. Your stack
will then go up evenly, quickly, and
be made from well-cured, bright
hay, and will contain more hay on
account of being we'll settled

and movable and covered with fine
soft hair. Coarse hair and a thick
hide nearly always indicate large
bones and coarseness throughout.
The hoof should be small, the
horn fine, the ears thin, the eyes
prominent and bright.
The appearance of the animal
should be of thrift. Of course the
breed has much to do with the
character of the animal. AS the
feed is of the same value whether
given to an animal easy to keep
thrifty and to fatten readily as
when fed to one of opposite char
acteristics, the difference is profit,
and as at best the profit is not great,
every advantage must be taken to
increase it.
It makes a difference in the feed
ing how an animal is treated while
growing. An animal kept thrifty
from the time it is dropped will
make a more profitable animal to
fatten than one that has been stunt
ed when young.
In feeding care is necessary in
order to maintain a thrifty growth
and at the same time not overfeed.
A variety in the ration is best as in
this way better appetite can be
maintained and all of the elements
of growth supplied in better pro-
portion and at less cost.
Not only in fattening but during
growth the more comfortable the
animal can be kept the better the
gain in proportion to the feed con
sumed Regularity in feeding and
watering is also an item that should
not be overlooked.
