RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
IL It Doin. the Greatest Good to the

Is It Doin. the Greatest Good to the
Greatest Number!
The figures FOR the fiscal year indi-
cate that the Postofice Department
will show a deficit to the extraordinary
amount Of $15,OOO,O0O. This shortage
has not before been eQUaled. 1t is
largely attributable to the expenditure
made for rural free delivery. This
branch of the service obviously brings
very little revenue. 1t Is maintained
for the public convenience, and the
benefits it affords, especially to the
farming class. The institution I'M
questionably is beneficent. Civilizing, in
the line Of modern progress. Still, there
is a limit to the money the country
can afford to eXpend for this work,
and now that It has become so costly
as to be a burden to the department,
there are questions which might wise
ly be inquired into-whether other
branches of the postal service are not
suffering because of the absorption Of
so much Of the funds by this one, and

aries in the uniform Of rural carriers.
The routes are alleged to be multitude
nous in sections represented by Con-
gressmen Of powerful influence at
Washington, and again often very few
in sections where rural free delivery is
as fully desirable. There is reason for
suspecting that In many cases free de-
livery routes have been established
quite for the sake Of making places
for applicants for the positions as car
riprs. rather than because of a demand
for the service by the people Of the
hborhood-Buffalo Courier.

Corsica and England.

1t is an almost forgotten fact that
for a period of little more than two
years during the Napoleonic wars Cor
sica was a British possession. After
the evacuation of Toulon the British
government felt it necessary to take
the island, and Lord Hood, with Mel
son as brigadier, was sent to drive out
the French. With the capture of Calvi,
July II, 1894, where Nelson lost his
eye, the island fell into British hands,
and George III. formally accepted the
crown Of Corsica, appointing Sir
George Elliot as British viceroy and
allowing the Corsicans to retain their
legislative assembly. In 1896 the ac-
tivi.y Of the French navy in other
parts Of the Mediterranean resulted in
a sudden decision of the British gov
eminent to withdraw from the island
The evacuation was completed on Oct.
&c of that year, and Corsica reverted to
France.

The place to begin working for pure
Vincent in Farm and Fireside | know
that some hold that it does not make
any difference what we feed our COWS
that they will turn it all into good
milk. This is not yet an undisputed
fact. | know from personal expert
ence that certain kinds of food will
faint milk, so the feed seems to me a
most essential point toward the pro-
duction Of pure milk. Good, clean
feed, in barn and in pasture, is the
starting point toward the desired end.
For this reason we must get the nOX-
ious weeds out Of our pastures by
moving them at least once each year
say after haying, when they are in
bloom and may be most easily killed.
Then we must see to it that the
meadows are clean and free from
weeds also, so that no hay with foul
stuff may be put into the barn. All
moldy hay should be rejected con-
scientiously.
Again, the care of the stables is a
prime essential Everything which
tends to create foul odors about the
barn must be scrupulously removed.
Floors and walls should be kept clean.
Pals and cans cannot be too clean
And yet we may fail unless the real
work of milking is done properly.
Whenever upon rising from the milk
ing stool we find that there is little
cloud of dark dust upon the top Of
the foam that has gathered while we
have been at work we may be sure
that we have failed In our effort to do
our work in clearly manner. Just
as surely as we say to ourselves,
"Well, the strainer will take that i'm
purity all out" just so surely do we
make a fatal mistake, for no strainer
ever made will do that-nOne ever will
be made. Little particles of the I'M
clean matter will be sure to go through
the strainer and be the source of dis
ease 1t therefore stands us in hand
to most carefully clean the udders Of
every cow before we begin to milk.
Wipe them off, and wipe them with a
clean cloth, not the bare hand. See
that no man ever vets his hands with
milk before he begins milking. The
man who does that ought to be shut
cut Of the stable forever
