The Second Congressional District
Gets Two Coun les.
Every Part Of County to Be Supplied
With Mail Service.
The System Will Be Put Into Effect
at Once.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Congressman McClearly for some time
past has been urgently requesting the
postoffice department to put in the coun-
| ty system of rural free delivery, in the
counties of Blue Earth and Fari-
bault. A few days ago he received word
from the department that the county
system of rural free delivery would be
instituted in the two counties, and that
the work of putting in the system would
begin about the middle of the present
month
Only few counties in the entire coun-
try have this system, and even with this
system the mail will not be delivered at
every door, but it will be carried into
every neighborhood and will be brought
near to every family in the county so
far as the roads will permit. We may
reasonably feel proud of the fact that
the second congressional district of this
state is the first congressional district
in the United tSates to get two counties
put under this system
At present about two-thirds of the
county is covered by the free rural de-
livery system, and it will take about half
as many more carriers as are at present
employed to carry the system into the
other third of the county. just where
the new routes will be located will de-
pend upon the report of the inspector,
who will arrive in a few days. 1t is
likely that there will be couple of more
routes out of Mankato, and that some of
the villages will get additional routes.
Under this system every farmer in the
county will have his mail delivered
either to his door, or within a reasonable
distance of his house. This will be
great thing for the county, and will add
ten per cent to the value of the farm
land.

AnOcOAat10n Against Parasites Proven
Successful.
Science has not contented itself with
hunting out lymph and virus which
will give immunity from disease to
humanity alone. 1t has turned it's at
tention to inoculation for the vegetable
kingdom as we'll. Remarkably inter-
esting experiments have been carried
on by French and English scientists,
among them NJ. Bcauverie and Pro-
fessor Marshall Ward.
They. are working along the line of
demonstrating the feasibility of treat:
ing plant diseases in way similar to-
that in which animals are rendered I'm
mune to attacks of illness. Many sue
cessful results have rewarded their
Investigations. =,
