On Wednesday of last week former post
master, James j. Davidson, tried the
experiment of shipping fifteen barrels Of

were selected with great care and put up
in three different ways. Five barrels were
shipped in the ordinary way; five were
packed in fine saw dust, and the potatoes
in the other five barrels were each wrapped
separately in paper, as oranges are prepared
for market. The result of the experiment
will be watched with good deal of inter
est by farmers and shippers.
The prospect for free rural delivery fol

| the thousands in advance of ours, we may
have to wait several months yet, before
| it is.
