TWO BLIND MICE.

Judge G. p. McCarty had
quite an experience and flight
in the postoffice Saturday morn
ing though the farmers wife
and one blind mouse were miss
ing. In his mail was a nice
neat little package addressed to
Judge G. p. McCarty and the
mother Eve in him prompted
him to open it before leaving
the Office. When the paper
was torn off the exclamation
"oh Lordy' burst from his lips.
The cause OF it was two blind
mice picked their heads out Of
the box and tried to look hi m
in the face. The Judge Is try
ing to find out whose writing
was on the wrapper. 1t is cru
ell to send that kind of thing
to d fellow" just after New
| Years.

THE PERSONAL PosToFFICEs.
Many Of Them to Be Abolished with
out Delay.

All personal postoffices'' that can be
located by agents of the Third Assistant
Postmaster Generals Office are to be abol-
ished without delay. Personal post
offices are those established in out-of-the-
way places for the exclusive use of par
ticular firm or industrial enterprise.
The manner in which these postoffices
are detrimental to the postal service is best
indicated in the story of their operation.
A manufacturing concern. for example. OBJ
tains half hundred signatures to an APP
plication for postoffice. The station hav-
ing been created through the influence of
Congressional representatives the firm has
one of its employees made postmaster. By
law postmasters at fourth class offices are
given the full value of all cancelled
stamps at total of 81. 900. Except for the
small salary paid an extra clerk. therefore,
the promoters of the business enterprise
,btain free from the government 81 900 I'm
stamps, annually.
Several such offices have been located
and abolished The number still in exist
ence cannot, of course. be computed But
the Third Assistant Postmaster of New
York is watching closely for the sale of
stamps and has active agents all over the
country in order to discover and discon-
tinue them as speedily as possible.

ORANGE TREES UNDER ROOF.
The Method Adopted to Protect Crops
From the Frost.

The Agricultural Department has just
received some interesting information con-
corning California orange trees which are
protected from the ravages OF frost by
roof
The aTbors are built OF redwood. being
comprised of posts, laths, strips. braces,
and wire. The posts are Is feet long, set )
feet in the ground which allows Is feet in
the clear: they are placed p feet inches
apart Girders well braced are then drawn
back and forth. after which the entire
frame is strung with wires which mesh
the structure in two directions. Strips are
then nailed along the stringers on TOD Of
the wires. whereupOn he entire frame is
perfectly tight and strong. so that it viii
not fall and cannot be blown apart. Sucn
a skeleton will stand secure through the
swellings and contractions due to rains and
dry weather, and Will not work or sway m
the heaviest storms.
The frame being up. there is next
stretched over II lengths Of ordinary chick
en- fencing woven upon lathing machine,
held together b. double strands of wire
The Iaths are woven one lath's width apart
and they are laid on in rolls of 100 laths
each. II requires 500 laths TO a tree, or
%. 000 laths TO an acre.
The cost OF the structure Is about $3.50
per acre. covering will stand intact. and
without substantial repair. for twenty
years Its annual cost therefore. may be
reckoned at $3.50. being 1919 as one TWEEN
tieth part of the actual cost. and $3.50 per
year upon the amount expended as inter
est The saving of one crop. however,
would pay for the whole of the construc
ton: but even supposing that there may be
no losses upon the outside from fTosts or
winds in twenty years then the superior
fruit produced by the cover. the saving in
water and the larger crops would more
than pay the amount Of annual expense
as computed above.
And. what is more, the grower can carry
around with him a mind free from anxiety
and worry lest his crop might be lost by
change in the weather. His roof is an in
surance: for if the weather becomes Sc
verely cold instead of lighting fires to
spread smoke, or throwing expensive steam
lets here and there through the rows, as
has heretofore been the method, he will
top the cover with light canvas, whereupOn
the thermometer may safely go as low as it
