MAIL DEFICIT is $780, e2.
Postmaster-Genera1 Wynne Makes Re-
port for Fiscal Year.


Postmaster General Wynne's annual
report for the year ended June 80, 1904,
has been sent to the President. In re-
cGrdng the successful administration of
the Postoffice Department for that Pc
riod, Mr.. Wynne says:
Postal revenues have increased. Salu-
tary changes in the classification of the
mails have been carried out greatly to the
benefit Of the service. Amendments to
regulations facilitating the handling of
mercantile packages in bulk have been
put into effect. At home and abroad
postal facilities have been extended. Ex-
change of money orders with foreign
countries has been simplifed and
cheapened. Parcels-post conventions
were extended to European countries
as an experiment. with Germany FIVE
years ago. They have been extended to
Japan and the British colony of Hong
kong to meet changes of trade conditions
in the far East; also to Norway.
Economy and strict accountability
have been enforced in all branches of
the service. While the so-called deficit
of SS,779, 492-that is to say, the excess
of expenditures over receipts--is greater
by S4,219 Az than for the fiscal year
1903, it must be borne in mind that the
expenditure authorized for the extension
and maintenance of the rural free deliv-
cry service during the past fiscal year
was $4,902,237 greater than the preced-
ing year.
The receipts and expenditures for 1903
and 1904 are thus summarized:

WILL GET AT THE TRUTH,
President and Secretary Metca1f Pro-
pose to Know About Trusts.

In ordering an investigation of the
Standard Oil Company the President and
the Secretary of Commerce and Labor
have no information which satisfies them
that the company is violating any law.
says a Washington correspondent. If
such information was at hand an investi-
CATION would not be necessary. The in
ouiry is made strictly within the work
given the department by the Congress in
the act establishing it. 1t is true the
company is commonly pictured as the
father of trusts and that more complaints
of unlawful proceedings have been made
against it than against any other cor
porat ton or trust.
The President is determined that the
laws upon the statute books shall be en-
forced. He will have the Department of
Commerce and Labor take up the differ
cnt large corporations or trusts, especial
ly those dealing in commodities or neces-
saries of life. He has imposed upon the
department the responsibility of estab-
fishing definitely whether the companies
investigated have or are violating the
laws. If the reports made by special
agents indicate that cause has been given
for proceedings in the courts the suits
will be promptly brought by the Depart
ment of Justice.
The President and his cabinet officers
do not know what will be disclosed by
the Standard Oil investigation. The gov
eminent will endeavor to ascertain facts,
and may resort to harsh measures to get
at the truth, should Mr.. Rockefeller or
any of his associates attempt to con-
zeal it.

DIPLOMATS IN DUDGEoN.
U;11 Not Ruin Their Feathers and colo
Lace at Inauguration.


n,h. man who is to sit in the presl-
dantial chair for the next four years wiz
bo called upon to decide a rather dell
cate question. This concerns tue Sta l'1S
of the diplomatic corps on great national
ooco s;ons such as the induction OF a
President into office.
At the last Inauguration the most Ter,
vent advocate of American freedom anu
contempt for insignia OF RANK "ouiu
have to confess that the foreign dlplonial
had just cause for grievance. Ihey
were provided haphazard with seats Oh
the grand stand, but no effort was mace
to get them through the crowd to OBTAIN
the places according to the law OF Erece-
dence. This grand stand was an open
platform and, as the last Inauguration
day combined a Kansas cyclone with
Dakota blizzard, the foreigners had an
unhonpy time. They wore their most
gorgeous uniforms and received great
damage to their apparel, not to speak OF
tbe pbysical infrmities brought on by the
exposure.
The late Lord Pauncefote loosely re-
marked that his appearance at the lnau-
euration cost him nearly $500, part OF
which went to replace ruined feathers
and trappings, and the remainder Tor
doctors bills.
The seats of the President and vice
President and of the cabinet officers ana
Supreme Court justices were sheltered
end this caused much dissatisfaction to
the diplomats. Indeed, it is freely stated
that if they cannot be assured OF courte-
GUS treatment hereafter they will form
no part Of the pageant which will be
part of the inauguration.

A Ono Horse Drag.

| AT this season of the year, wher

and conveniences and in figuring or

slider the following from Orange Judd

verizing the soil none is cheaper and
less used than the drag. Some farmers
term it "block," "leveler" or ''clod
masher," Its use can begin with a
two or three horse size Immediately
after breaking, when it levels the land,
so tooth or disk harror can do most
thorough work, and this same form
does admirably preceding grain plant
ing Of all types. But it is the one horse
style used Immediately after the culti-
vator in growing crops where the nice
ty of works proves it one Of the most
profitable tools.
In early cultivation it gently hills the
plants, doing away with an enormous
amount of hand hoe work, and leaves
the surface in its natural level condi-
ton, insuring uniformity of depth of
future civilizations. During dry peri
ode it is invaluable. All other tools
loosen the surface, while the block on
previously well fined land packs and
jars the earth to the depth cultivated,
retarding evaporation without injuri-
Gus root disruption. A one horse drag
can be made by any one at very small
cost 1t may be modified or improved
to suit ones fancy.

In . California county the manure is

sippi river and the Pacific ocean farm
ere not only find barn manure nui-
sanee, but they have grievance
against II, claiming in South Dakota
that it produces dog fennel, elsewhere
that il produces other weeds and in
various counties that il has such an
effect of poisoning the soil that farm
ers are afraid Of it. The owner of a
large California wheat ranch required
a tenant last year to spread the barn
manure Of the ranch upon the wheat
land, but the tenant, after doing so,
set fire to the stubble and burned the |
manure.
In semiarid regions barn manure
needs to be used cautiously on unirri.
gated land. In the wheat lands of Cali
fornia il is more or less visible for four
or five years after its application to
the land. The practice of 500 years
ago survives in some parts of the
south /; cattle are penned upon the land
to increase its fertility. and the pen is
shifted as the owner desires.
In a large portion Of the north CEN
trail states barn manure is removed to
prevent accumulation and deposited up
on the fields throughout the winter to
be plowed under in the spring. In the
east it is allowed to accumulate until
spring, when it is deposited upon the
land just before blowing. The use of
this fertilizer for top dressing grass
land is very common throughout the
principal portion Of the United States
wherever it is used in considerable
quantities.
Barn manure is more generally APP
piled to corn than to any other crop
although liberal application of it is
made to tobacco, potatoes and vegeta-
bles. Commercial fertilizer is literally
used in cotton production. in the more
intensive agriculture Of fruit and vege-
table raising and in growing small
grains, to which it is applied with
seeder at time of seeding.
The use Of barn manure is greatest
in the east while commercial fertilizers
have the greatest use in the cotton belt.
The use Of any kind of barn or COM
mercial fertilizer is more and more
sporadic westward from Indiana, and
commercial fertilizer is hardly any,
where seen west of the Mississippi
river except on vegetables and fruit
farms.
