Rural Delivery Notes

Illinois will probably be given the
credit of starting the first rural free
mail delivery by automobile. 1t has
been started at Plainfield, Will county,
on a twenty-six mile route, covered by
H. W. Ritzenthaler. The car that the
carrier uses looks like an open buggy.
Patrons of the rural free delivery
routes throughout the country have
been notified by the postoffice depart
ment that in the future they may pro-
vide themselves with suitable boxes
which are weather proof and fit recep-
tacles for mail The patrons of the
rural routes will be allowed the privi-
lege Of making their own boxes or buy
ing them from any manufacturer.
Since free delivery of mail in rural
districts has been established 1 have
been pleased to discover two or three
pairs of bluebirds nesting undisturbed
in mail boxes by the roadside. says a
writer in ST. Nicholas. 1t is gratifying
to know that the birds allowed them
selves to be disturbed two or three
times a day and yet not abandon their
nests But the thing that gives the
bird lover the greatest delight is the
fact that no one robbed the nests.
The establishment of the rural free
delivery service in Minnesota is tend
ing to bring about a better condition
of the country roads traversed by the
carriers in a way that is unexpected
Carriers Alfred Johnson and Frank
Watts. who have routes 3 and A that
run out of Mankato, report that the
60 III tbs m
proved the roadways by the use of
drags. 1t is expected that the farmers
on other routes will follow the ex-
ample set.
E. L. Fink; rural mail carrier of
Grant county, going out of Medford, is
the first man in Oklahoma to use an
automobile in the service, installing
his machine a few days ago. Mr.. Fink
has purchased an eight horsepower We
hicle, of the low speed, which can
be run at the rate Of thirty miles an
hour at four horsepower. AS result
of a roadmaking campaign which has
been on in that county for the past
three seasons good roads obtain in that
section of the territory. and this makes
it convenient for the use of the auto
mobile IN the deilVery OF rural mall
Mr. Fink can cover his daily route now
in about half the time it formerly re-
Quired.
Geese Layers.
Young geese usually lay from eight
cen to twenty-four eggs the first sea
son, and old geese will lay from thirty
