RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

From The Farmer and Breeder.
The system of free delivery of mail
at the farm is developing in the United
States by great strides. Ii is only
little over eight years since the first
routes Were established on October !.
1896, in West Virginia. Now almost
every country town throughout the
west has on" or more routes extending
into the surrounding country. In some
counties every farm two miles or more
from a gailroad town has mail deiiv-
cred either at the door or the nealI't
cross read.
The advantages TO the farmer a"e
very numerous, and as the system be-
comes older it is prav tiCaliy s"lf-SuS-
tanning. as the increase of mail sent
added to reductions on account of post
offices ana star routes discontinued
practically pays the rural carriers eX-
penSeS. There WAS no attempt made
in the old plan to have the fourth class
offices pay expenses. hence amy criti-
cism on line of expense seems out Of
place. The only objection which we
ever considered to have any value APP
plies TO those few families who live
beyond two or three miles of the town
postotlice and are on the return end
Of the rural route. Many of these
would Frequently get their mail under
cnt ones. The people, however, still
have their choice and may not use the
| rural delivery unless they wish In busy
times, however. eve!. the most of these
farmers, unless they have children go
ing TO the town schools, will find the
mail delivery Very convenient.
| Though congress made an appropri
4 alton for rural service in 1914, and
! again in the following year, it was not
! used, as the post master general con-
sidered the idea impracticable. Though
1 the first routes We're established in
West Virginia, in the foothills of The
! Alleghenies the plaities of Kansas and
! Nebraska were soon after supplied with
| experimental routes. In fact forty-four
| routes in many different parts of the
, country we've established within a few
| months.
Now, they extend everywhere and
no one would suggest their discontinue
ance. The farmer has subscribed 70,
\ the daily papers. He watches the mar
ket reports and reads what the weather
bureau has TO say about the coming
/ conditions of atmosphere, and to quite
an extent controls his action accord
ingly when rains would do damage
There are many more letters written
when a man knows he can get q letter
into the rural delivery box of one Will,
whom he has business the next DAY
he will write, when, if the delivery OF
the letter depended on the other mar
coming or not coming to town for his
mail many times the letter would no.
be written.
Many hours time for the farmer ;nt
much Wear and tear on his teams anC
vehicles are saved by the rural mai
delivery, but the assurance Of regular.
ity in receiving mails is of more bene
fit than the expense. Even if a con
siderable deficiency exists it is cheape
for the people to pay for il in that wa,
than to personally take the time to 2,
for the mail even as often as once
! week.

THE CLEAN HOG THE BEST.

In a certain town the people had reached
a point where they declined 10 eat pork
Several farms had been visited by health
officers and the swine condemned. The
reports of conditions alarmed the people
and pork was abandoned. One of the best
hog raiscrs in the section saw ruin star
IL him in the face, so he made his clean
pens cleaner. took great care in feeding
and watering, and even cleaning his hogs,
then he used the advertising columns of
the local papers inviting people to call at
his farm and inspect his pigg"ry. On two
occasions he sent carryalls into town, after
advertising what he proposed 10 do, and
carried parties to his farm. Most of them
went more out of curiosity than for any
other reason. The result was what might
have been expected. For once people saw
that swine might be raised in a clearly
manner and that so raised they ought 10
be fit to eat. There is no necessity for I'M
clean pens and unclean hogs if We could
only make ourselves believe so.
