NAMING THE FARMS.
su1tlng from the Establishment
of Rural Delivery.

Letter boxes now appear at the
gateways of farms throughout many
districts in Illinois, along the coun.
try mail routes recently established
by the government, and one of the
first results of the innovation is de.
cidedly interesting.
No sooner had the mail boxes ap
peared than the farmers began to
take a deeper interest in the gates
and the general style of entrances to
their homes. The boxes were new,
looked fresh, and seemed to give a
dignity to the gateposts that they
never possessed before. The con-
trast, in the great majority of cases,
was not pleasing, particularly to the
womenfolk and the younger men,
and most of the farmers set about
making Improvements which would
bring the surroundings up to the
standard of the letter box.
This was one step in the right di.
rection. Then it was natural that the
mail carrier sometimes made mis-
takes, because there was neither
name nor number to guide him in the
delivery of letters, newspapers or
packages. Some of the farmers
nailed up rude Shingles bearing the
names of the occupants of the house
at the upper end of the lane. Other
farmers ordered neatly painted signs
bearing the name of the head of the
house.
Now it appears from letter ad.
dressed to the Milledgeville Free
Press, progress has taken a more de-
cided step along this line. The farm
ers in the vicinity are christening
their places and displaying the names
chosen in handsomely painted signs
on the gateposts. 81 have concluded
to name my place Midway Farm"
says the writer of the letter referred
to, mot because it is sporty or
tough, but because it is located Just
half way between Milledgeyille and
Chadwick, also half way between
Lanark and Coleta."
Perhaps we are at last upon the
threshold of the time, so long looked
forward to in the United States, when
country life will take upon itself the
habiliments that adorn it in the oldet
lands. Perhaps the mail box and tho
farm name are but the precursors o.
other improvements, in the agricul.
tural regions, which will give tn.

Fertilization of Flowers.

Insects are necessary to the fertil.
ization of most flowers; and were it
not for insects, especially honey bees,
many of the crops we now have would
be wanting. There are good many
flowers that produce pollen that has
no means of getting from flower to
flower except by the medium of in
sects. On the other hand, some plants
throw off great quantities of pollen
without the help of the insects. Prot.
James Fletcher relates that when in
British Columbia some people came tc
him and asked him to explain show.

len during the preceding night. He
assured them that there had been nc
shower Of sulphur, but that wha:
lock ID like sulphur was in reality tn,

Of dry season visiting us again next

the spring, should we pillow deeper in
the fall than in the spring. In answer
TO this it has been thought that deep
blowing would be the better for a
dry season, as it loosens up the ground

may fall upon It, and retain the moist

more compact ground below will have
time TO take up the water and hold it

where the water goes, the air goes,
and these supply the growing crops
with nourishment. Another good way
Of keeping the land in good filth, as
well as to assist in re tanning the moist
ure is to spread barnyard manure over
the field. Now the question arises in
our minds does manure make the land
richer, or does it put the humus' into
the soil and make it loose, light and
friable, that It may bring forth album
dant crops? In time the land becomes
hard and cloddy again and corn will
not grow, and to bring it back to
