Rural Free Delivery.
What is Required of Those Securing the
Service?

What is Required of Those Securing the
Service?
The following rules in regard to the
rural free delivery may be of interest:
Each box must be erected by the road
side, so that the carrier can easily OBJ
tain access to it without uismounting
from his vehicle. The same box must
not be used for more than one family,
except in the case of near relatives or
those residing in the same house.
Persons neglecting or refusing to com
ply with these conditions will be regard
ed as not deserving rural free delivery
and the carrier will be directed not to
serve them.
In all service heretofore established
and when inappropriate, unsafe and
unsuitable boxes are i'll use the Depart
ment Will expect that patrons of rural
free delivery now accepted as a per-
manent feature OF postal service) will
conform as promptly as possible to the
requirements to procure new boxes if
they desire the continuance of rural
free delivery.
Those charged with the administra-
ton of the service will put this order
into effect with frGness, but without
undue haste or harshness.

How To Burn Soft Coal.
From the Coal Trade Journal

From the Coal Trade journal
William S. Essick, secretary of the
Reading, Pa, stove works states that
in view of the fact that there has been
so many inquiries as to the use of soft
coal, and coke as a substitute for an
thraclte coal, he had secured all the in
formation that he thought was sufficient
to assure people that coke or soft coal
can be burned successfully
''When fire is started with bitumi-
nous coal in the ordinary cooking stove,
all the dampers must be open. The
coal will then kindle quickly. Put the
coal on in small quantities or the fire
will be smothered Keep the fire-box
pretty we'll filled and free from ashes.
''In range be careful in starting
fire not to fill the tire-box too full, as
the bltuminous coal will swell or ex-
pand and raise the lids Coke can be
burned in precisely the same manner.
'1n fixing the fires for the night, in
stove or heater observe the following
rules:
80 Have good strong fire.
"(2.) Put on fresh coal.
''(3.) Let the draft on long enough
to burn off the gas. This requires but
a few minutes.
"4.) Close all the dampers, or, in
other words, take off all the draft
''in the morning stir up the ire we'll
with poker, put on the draft and
good quick fire will soon be secured
''The smoke pipe in a range should
not be less than six or seven inches in
diameter. With less than that the fire
is apt to be sluggish.
''Ihe tlues, smokepipes and chimneys
must be cleaned from time to time and
the SCOT removed. The accumulation
of SCOT in a stove or heater where soft
coal is used is much greater than when
anthracite is used.
Experiments have shown" said Mr..
Essick, that soft coal can be used as
successfully as anthracite, and at less
cost"

Baked Apple Dumplings.
Peel and core as many apples
AS Your appetite NAV wish,

Peel and core as many apples
AS your appetite may wish,
Six or eight-perhaps Dozen
That would be generous dish,
Make a dough like cracker biscuit,
Roll it thn-with skill and care,
Place an apple lightly in it
Take your knife and cut it square
Large enough to fold your fruit in,
Then within the vacant place
Of the core-a bit of butter,
Cinnamon and sugar place.
Draw your square up well together,
Pinch it gently on the top.
SO your dough will be protected,
Lest the cooking juices pop.
When your apples all are covered,
Take fork and prick them through,
Twill prove better in the baking
Half dozen times will do.
Bake them slowly, and, while cooking,
Take of sagar, just a cup,
And modest lump of butter
And with light hand cream inem up,
Adding extract, and your hard sauce
Set on ice, to harden more:
Lift your apples from the oven,
And your labors will be DER.
Serve them hottie sauce finds flavor,
And each dumrling firm and brown,
Is practical achievement
Adds jewel to your crown.

NOTES ON THE CROPS OF ,oo2

[From our Prospect Correspondent, Freeman
Partridge.]
The grass crop is good one here,
Irving George and Jack Clark are get
ting over the town with threshinp
machine and are now at Willard Lanes.
where there are some 800 bushels to
threSh. AS to the usual mixed crop in
this section farmers will come out
about as usual, with some light and
some good crops. Potatoes varied
strangely in the yield. Some pieces
came through all sound, while under
almost similar methods IA to IL were
affected by rot. The last report is of
an old garden spot where there was on
ly some potato skins to dig. Last WIN
ter was the best for keeping sound po-
tatoes free from rot that many of us
ever knew. Our potatoes that we put
into sacks in the fall were taken out in
the spring without sorting and carried
away, and not one potato was found af-
fected in thirty bushels But remem
ber, there were no rotton potatoes at
digging time. Still the crop was a
small one-only is per cent. of crop
in the whole United States. Maine
now reports 80 per cent. of crop with
the prospect not encouraging to save
from rot that amount. Reports are
meagTe Just now as TO how the winter
crop is coming IN. On the whole the
Maine press rather favors the other
fellow about the crops III Maine Last
year the report i'll Bangor was that po-
tatoes were selling for 30 cts. per bushel
and New York paper said that the
