THE SIN OF FRETTING.

There is one sin, which it seems to me
is everywhere and by everybody under
estimated, and quite too much over
locked in valuation of character. 1t Is the
sin of fretting. It is common as air, as
speech, SO common that unless it rises
above its usual monotone, we do not even
observe it. Watch any ordinar y coming
together of people, and see how many
minutes it will take before somebody
frets; that is, makes more or less COM
planning statements ofsomething or other
which probably everyone in the room, or
in the car, or on the street, it may be,
knew before, and probably nobody can
help. Why say anything about it? 1t is
cold, it is hot, it is wet, it is dry; some
body has broken an appointment, ILL
cooked a meal; stupidity or bad faith
somewhere has resulted in discomfort.
There are pleanty of things to fret about.
It is simply astonishing how much an
noyance can be found in the course OF
every days living, even of the simplest,
if one keeps sharp eye out on that side
of things. Even Holy Writ says we are
prone to trouble as sparks fly upward. y
But even to the sparks flying upward,
in the blackest of smoke, there is blue
sky above; and the less time they waste
on the road the sooner they will reach
it. Fretting is all time wasted on the
road.-Heler Hunt.

GROWTH 0P POSTAL SERVICE

The annual report of W. s. Shallen-
berger, the Second Assistant Postmaster
General, was made public Friday. It
shows that on June 80 last the annual
rate of expenditure for inland mail ser
vices was $55, 146, ,060, and for foreign SER
vice, S2,0l4, ,53S; total expenditures, $751;
16O,5e8.
The routes of all kinds in the domestic
mail service cover over half a million
miles, and the number of miles travelled
over them in year was 459, ZOE, ,773. Mr..
Shallenberger refers to the steps taken
looking to stopping speculative bidding
for mail contracts, and announces that
the new policy of awarding contracts
only to persons living.on or near routes
has worked satisfactory. There will be,
Mr.. Shallenberger says further increase
of mail facilities in the rural districts.
Letter mail for the interior of Alaska
was carried last winter by service that
was reasonably well performed. For the
coming winter the arrangements double
the frequency of mails for points supplied
by various overland routes. Mails will
be carried by reindeer from Eaton to
Kotzebue, point north of the Arctic
Circle.
The pneumatic tube service investi-
cation, it is stated, has developed vslu-
able information, and the report will be
submitted to congress soon after it con-
venes. Pending that, estimates for con-
tinuence and extensions of existing SER
vices are withheld. Electric cars have
been found an advantageous means of
providing expeditions mail Transports
ton, especially for suburban towns.
The total estimate for all mail trans
portation for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1902, is $61, ,49O, ,249, being 50, ,15s, $40,
or 3.64 per cent, more than the current
appropriation.

LIFE INSURANCE MEN DINED BY HER

The fifth annual convention of the
agents of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York ended its work Fri
day in Wilmington, and those in attend
ance and spent the afternoon in visiting
various parts of the citv in the trolley cars.
The convention was made up of the COM
pany's agents in Delaware and the Eas-
tern Shore of Maryland and Virginia.
They held a profitable convention, which
was under the direction of Herbert N.
Fell, general agent of the company in this
State. Professor William P. Stewart,
the company's instructor of agents, who
has been Mr.. Felps personal guest, gave
serious of talks to the assembled agents
and drilled them in the history, scope
and practical phases of the work of writ
ing life insurance. He is great travel
Ter a and few years ago made a trip around
the world. He is a recognized authority
on life insurance and his advice to the
agents was pratical and for the purpose
of advancing their knowledge of busi-
ness. He is q most entertaining speaker
on any subject. In honor of Professor
Stewart dinner was served Thursday
evening in the company's building, No.

Don't Crowd the Hoor

In speaking of raising hogs for pork
Mr.. Foster of Louisiana says in the
FarmeB' Review: 81 think two litters
should be raised where winter pasture
can be had cheaply; otherwise, only a
spring litter, to be turned off at eight or
nine months. In feeding breeding sows
| simply see that they are improving in
flesh and strength and have laxative feed
before farrowing. If PASTURE does not
keep their bowels in good condition I
iced bran or cottonseed meal for a short
time previous to farrowing. On our plan
tation I put up $4,000 pounds of green
bacon last winter at cost of little less
than three cents per pound ON corn and
alfalfa pasture, charging corn at 40 cents
per bushel and pasture at five dollars per
acre, but charging nothing for fencing,
shelters, or labor, as the pasture (40 acrcs)
furnished a great deal of feed for my colts,
mules and cows. The greatest obstacle
to success, think, is disease, caused in
majority of cases by crowding too
many hogs together and disregarding
sanitation. I never keep more than
three or four ltters in one lot, having
my pasture subdivided by portable fences
in small lots of one-half to one acre each,
with a cheap shelter in each lot. Inever
saw all of a large bunch of hogs do well
when fed together, The fewer in drove
the better.

wiuterine Cattle in Stables


As rule, feeding in northern latitudes
begins in November and continues until
May. Therefore as it lasts the greater part
of the six winter months it is important
that we use the most economical meth
DDS. In the first place, repair the stables,
making them warm and comfortable,
the floor even, with close-fitting stalls,
managers, feed boxes, ties, etc, doors that
swing freely and windows which supply
ample light and ventilation. Some prefer
the following plan: They inclose the
sheds, have the feed overhead and place
racks at the sides where the feed is
thrown down. Dehorn the cattle, as some
of them should be in any event, and
bunch them together like so many sheep,
where they shall feed and quietly rest.
/ prefer the stall feeding plan, although
it involes more work. Each animal re-
ceives the share allotted more satistactor-
lily. I begin the feeding season as follows:
Give ensilage or straw and turnips in the
morning. Toward noon turn the cattle
out into the yard if the weather is fine,
for three or four hours. They get water
and straw from the straw stack or racks.
They get exercise and roam about, rub
bing themselves at leisure. Care must be
taken to keep them free from or rid them
of vermin, for double the feed does not
make up the loss caused by these pests.
While the cattle are in the yard clean
out the stables and place feed Of hay in
managers and quart or more Of chop or
grain according to age, size, ETC.

A satisfactorY Dairy Ration


One OF the most perplexing questions
for the average dairy farmer is the feed
ration. The cost OF production must be
considered and also the general results.
Shall it be the coarse feed? I will give
below the ration used by one of the lead
ing farmers of southern New York and his
mode OF giving. He arises at o'clock in
the morning, goes to the barn and milks,
after which he gives his herd of 80 cows
three quarts apiece of gluten meal. He
returns to the house and eats his break
fast. Then he gives one-half bushel of en-
silage and after this is eaten 5 lbs. of corn
stalks. This amount is given twice day
morning and night. At noon OTIS. of
gluten is fed with cornstalks, making in
all qts. gluten meal, l bu. ensilage and
10 lbs of stalk to a COW. This think is a
very good ration, for it includes all those
foods which go to make up a good diet,
and thrifty condition is always secured
when it is used.
