Rural Mail Boxes.-"Farmer'' writes as
follows to the Baltimore american: while
the decision of the Postoffice Department re-
garding the rural mail boxes is in the line Of
reform. it is not entirely satisfactory to the
farmers. While it gives us the right 10 manu-
facture or buy our boxes, it places such restric-
ton upon us to practically prohibit US from
either making or buying them. We are per-
fectly willing to conform to all the specifica-
tons regarding the size of the box and the
material of which it shall be manufactured,
but it seems hardship to be required to pack
it and ship it. at our expense, to the Postoffice
Department, where it may be either approved
or rejected. If rejected the experiment is at
our own expense.
Permit me to suggest that this expense to
the farmer and much trouble to the depart
ment could be avoided by designating certain
may be left for examination by the regular in
spectors. We all have horses, and it is little
trouble and absolutely no expense to us to
haul the boxes to the nearest postoffice and
bring them home after the inspection. Now,
if all these boxes are to be forwarded to Wash
ington, it will require the services of large
corps of extra employees to open the packages,
prevent the boxes from getting mixed or going
astray, packing the boxes again, directing each
to its proper owner and shipping them.
"a serious objection to the plan which pro-
hibited us from using any kind of mail box
made by ourselves was that if there was not
graft in it, it certainly gave plenty of oppor-
tnnity for graft Now, as I have stated, the
new order while, perhaps, it may appear on
its face as move to prevent graft, is not re-
lieving us of the burden of expense, for we will
have to pay the express companies for carry
ing the boxes to Washington and bringing
them back to us. A box answering all the re-
quirements can be made or bought for less
money than is necessary to pay the cost of
shipping it to and from Washington"

Dry or Wet Feed for Cows.-The st:
Louis Globe Democrat says a somewhat unusual
two small herds of mich COWS. One herd re-
ceived a ration of barley-oats and oil meal
dried, while the other herd was given ration
of bran and gluten feed wet. The cows, six in
number, were fed for two periods of sixteen
DAYS each, and the ration was changed at about
the end of the first period. On the ration fed
wet, the COWS gave a total daily yield of ia
pounds of milk, containing 3.8S per cent. OF
fat, and the ration fed dry q daily yield Of 1164
pounds of milk, testing $3.50 per cent. OF fat,
showing an increased daily yield Of butter fat
in favor of dry feed.
1t is unfortunate that this test was not made
with the same materials in both cases. 1t is
generally believed among practical dairymen
that gluten meal or feed is better milk pro-
Queer than oil meal, although the composition
hence the difference in the product may posi-
bly, be due to the difference in material rather
than to the mere fact Of wetting the feed.

Test to be Made of the Plan.-A letter from
Westminster says: .Mr. William L. Amoss,
director of the department of farmers institutes
of the Maryland Agricultural College, accom-
panied by Mr.. Charles L. Goodrich. was be-
fore the Board of School Commissioners on
Tuesday with proposition to make the public
schools of this county the basis of a test for an
experiment having for its object the introduc.
ton of system of instruction in scientific
farming in all the public schools of the State.
Mr.. Goodrich, who is practical farmer.
from q scientific standpoint, and the author of
a valuable book on the subject, gave the MEM
bers of the Board, some of whom are promi-
nent farmers detailed outline of the plan
proposed and also told them some practical
things about scientific agriculture of which
they had not had previous knowledge.
1.-THE plan, in brief, is this During the fall
and spring terms Mr.. Goodrich will visit three
of the schools in this county once every week
and instruct the teachers and pupils of the
sixth grade in scientific methods of farming.
Schools convenient to farms using modern ag-
ricultural machinery will be selected and the
pupils will be shown this machinery and its
various uses will be explained. Then the soil
will be considered and the conditions under
which it will be best able to produce the differ
emit products raised in farming; the best meth
DDS of preparing and of planting the seeds, cul-
tivating after planting, where cultivation may
be necessary, and, in fact all the details essen
tial to scientific farming.
"In the interim between the fall and spring
terms the pupils of the grade under instruction
will be required to experiment by planting and
cultivating farm and garden products in pots
and boxes under the direction of the teachers.
The experiment will be carried on without ex-
pense to the School Board, and will not be
tried in any other county until it shall have
been thoroughly tested in this. The PROPOSE
ton was accepted by the Board"
