Uniforms for r. +. D. Carriers.

1t is tnought by officials in the
Postofice' Department that rural
free delivery carriers should be uni
formed in some such n as the
carriers in cities, writes the Wash
ington correspondent of The Pro-
gressive Farmer. The Department
is considering the issue of a regula-
ton to that effect, but it is realized
that it would be difficult to procure
uniforms of fixed material and de-
sign, especially for carriers who re-
side in remote regions; and it is ar
gued that on the small salaries now
paid, it would be a hardship to many
to require the purchase of uniforms.
The matter will be carefully consid-
cred by the Department, but while
it is recognized that it would have
the advantage of giving the rural
carriers distinction, it is probable
that the regulation will not be pro-
mulgated until the service has been
longer established.

Trained Young Farmers Needed.

A boy who wants TO farm should
be as well equipped as the boy that
enters any of the professions, and
until we look at it that way, farm
ing will be summed by our bright
young men. The great need of the
hour is young men of force and
character, training and education,
to organize in every section and di-
rect the forces of that community;
men who understand plant growth
and their diseases, the successful
growing of crops and their rota-
ton, with a view to keeping up the
fertility of the soil, who know when
to sell and how to sell, and to do all
things necessary to build up a
farm. The rule in North Carolina
has been to send the studious boy
to college to make a professional
man Of him, and the boy who was
to be the farmer was required to
cultivate the farms and make the
money to send the others off to col
lege, and her probably be given a
mule and one-horse pillow and told
to start to farming for himself.
This must be changed. The boy
who stays on the farm must be train
ed for his business just the same as
his brother who is to go into one of
the professions. He may not have a
literary turn, and may be called dull,
but may have qualities that especial
ly fit him for the farm that only
need development. If one of my boys
wants to be a farmer, and is other
wise qualified, I am going to give
him the same chance / do the others.
If / do not think he would succeed
as a farmer, / am going to advise
him to be a professional man.-R. W.
Scott, Alamance Co., N. @.

Moonology.

A correspondent writes that he
knows that corn planted in the light
of the moon will grow up tall and
make small ears, and hat the crop
will be much better if planted in the
dark of the moon. He further asks
our opinion in regard to the infu-
ence of the signs of the Zodiac. As
we always cover III corn, so that
the moonlight does not shine on it.
we have never noticed any difference.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-08-16

We have noticed, however, that the
men who plant by the moon aid the
signs seldom have any better crops
than their neighbors who pay no at
tention to the moon. In fact, the
man who gives his whole attention
to the Improvement of his land and
then gives it the best preparation for
the crop, will always make more corn
than the man who studies the changes
of the moon. We have been plant
ing crops of all sorts for over forty
years, and it never yet has occurred
to us to notice how the moon regard
ed what we we're doing. The moon
does not stop going round the earth
when we no longer see her reflect the
sunlight, and she is just as big then
as when she was what we call full.
Now as to the signs of the Zodiac,
we have always thought that the man
in the medical almanacs was in a
bad way with the signs all around
him. But we think that the man in
the almanac is about the only thing
on earth that is affected by these
things. Good farming is a matter
of this earth and its atmosphere, aid
ed by the warmth which the sunlight
causes in the soil, and if we give
earnest attention to the condition
of soil and air as they affect our
crops, we need not know whether the
moon shines or not, nor whether the
signs of the Zodiac are pulling the
almanac man to pieces.-Prof. w. f.
Massey, in Philadelphia Farmer.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-08-16

A curious survival of superstitu-
ton is seen in the many complaints
received by the Department of Agri-
culture, in regard to cabbage snakes,
a name applied to the tiny white
worms, resembling pieces of basting
threads, that are found in the heads
of cabbages. There seems to be a
general opinion, in ONE sections,
that these worms are poisonous, and
that people who eat the cabbage will
die; and it is even believed that they
develop from ~horse-hair, in stagnant
water. The entomologist of the De
partment declares that the worms are
entirely innocuous, possessing no
dangerous properties whatever, and
not injuring the cabbage, except in
making it undesirable for market.
1t is amusing to find such recur-
rences of the terror of the unknown
in this twentieth century.

him in announcing that the first
