STRICTER ORDERS ABOUT
THE DELIVERY OF MAIL

On account of complaints registered
with Postmaster Lewis and his assist
ants in relation to mail matter de-
livered by carriers being blown from
porches etc. the former has found il
necessary to enforce more strictly the
department orders in this respect,
which does not require carriers to de-
liver mail matter of any character on
porches, behind screens or under
doors, unless specially requested to
do so.
Carriers are requested to blow their
whistles when approaching a house
where any kind of matter is to be left
and patrons can assist in the prompt
delivery of their mail by being on
hand to receive the same; for the de-
lay of even few seconds at each
house may so hinder the carrier that
he may be unable to complete the de-
livery over the entire route, as he is
absolutely prohibited from working
over eight hours daily,
facilitate matters II patrons would
erect suitable boxes for the reception
of mail on their front porches. II.
however. it is desired that the carrier
leave the mail behind the screen, or
under the door, in the absence of a
box. or no one being on hand to re-
ceive 1t. a written order should be ad-
dressed to the postmaster to that ef-
feet: otherwise the mail will be re-
turned to the pest once and held un-
til next delivery. The above refers
particularly to the delivery of mail
by foot carriers within the residence
/, districts of Canon City.
The object OF these orders Is for .hs
betterment of the delivery service and
TO protect patrons. and this can best
be brought about by the hearty coop

Changing Bees.

The common busy bees may be grad

an varieties, by removing the old
queen and substituting a new fertil.
lied queen of either kind preferred.
If she is carefully guarded in a small
cage for a few days the bees soon
recognize her, and in the course of n
few months the old bees will all be
dead and the new ones will be of the
desired kind. The queen is compelled
to lay numbers of eggs daily in order
to supply the great loss constantly
recurring by the destruction from
birds, storms and other difficulties.
There should be left plenty of honey
for a winter supply, and the hives
should be well protected from storms
What the beekeeper should aim to do
IS TO SOW such crops as will enable
the bees to lay in a large supply of
honey, and he can we'll afford to do so

killing Quack Grass.

Michigan farmer gives these in
structions for killing quack grass:
Plow five or six inches deep in the
growing season, say April, May and
June. Give it good digging, then
cultivate with cultivator that has
teeth close enough so they will cut
the roots two or two and one-half
inches under the ground. The secret
is to keep 1t from getting to the sur
face. 1t wants holding down six
weeks. 1t does not take expensive
tools. l use an old-fashioned cult
vator that was bought fifty years ago.
1t has seven teeth, three in front, four
in rear; each tooth cuts six inches
wide. 1t is good to drag 1t over after
three or four days. l cultivate once
a week for six weeks: 1t has never
failed me yet. The roots will be dead
as hay. 1t Is good for Canada thistles.
If one is doubtful, take a rod or more
square and keep 1t down for six
weeks and see how 1t works This was
done with hoe on two acres, and 100
bushels Of smutnose corn were raised
to the acre, planted in drills one foot
apart and hoed to kill.

Digging Potatoes,

The time is near when farmers will
be digging their potatoes, and then is
the time to select the seed for another
year; when a hill of nice, smooth po-
tatoes Is found, free from scab or rot,
and goodly number are just the
shape and size wanted for table use,
put them one side. At night gather
them up and put them away for seed
next spring. You will be surprised to
see how you can change the type and
improve them in a few years, says a
Vermont contributor to the American
Cultivator We do this every year,
and, while our townspeople are COM

Dcnenfs of Humua.

The substance left in the ground
after the fertilizer has decayed Is
known as "humus." In order to Sc
cure the greatest results from the fer
tilizer and to get the largest possible
quantity Of humus, 1t Is necessary that
the soil be moist when the fertilizer
Is plowed under. Only small amount
OF humus Is obtained from the turned
under fertilizer should the ground be
dry.
When the fertilizer Is allowed to lie
upon the surface for period, exposed
to the sun, much good Is lost from
the fact that 1t forms but a small
amount of humus when plowed under.
Therefore 1t Is important that the soil
should always be moist when fertilizer
of any kind is plowed under
In many ways humus benefits the
soil. In the first place, it makes the
soil lighter as we'll as looser. This
condition allows good ventilation and
gives a chance for poisonous gases to
escape. The soil does not become over
heated and, in clay territory, the
ground is lightened, making 1t more
easy to work. 1t is equally beneficial
in sandy soil, inasmuch as it as
sists in binding 1t together, allowing
more substance.

Some farmers think that a straw
rick IS good place for the SOW and
her brood to sleep. This is mistake.
1t is best to keep them away from the
straw pile winter and summer. In the
winter the pigs will burrow beneath
the straw, get too warm and take cold
when they come out into the freezing
atmosphere Coughing and wheeling
is the result, and the pigs do no good
or die. Besides, If burrowed beneath
the straw they are liable to be stepped
on and seriously injured or killed by
the stock running to the rick.
During the summer months especial
ly should the SOW and her young be
fenced from the straw pile. If they
burrow down into the half rotted
straw they will be very apt to con-
tract some disease

Fat in Milk,

1t can not be that the butter fat In
milk Is obtained from the fat stored
In the tissues Of the COW, otherwise the
animal would soon become emaciated.
Cows obtain the butter fat in milk
from the food they eat and digest, and
not from the reserve or accumulation
Of fat in their bodies. Reason as we'll
as observation teaches that COWS ex-
tract butter fat from the food they
consume and digest, and to produce a
large percentage of cream the rations
Of the COW should be rich In the ele-
ments OF nitrogen and carbohydrates,
which are found in linseed meal, mid.
dlings, bran, corn meal and ground
oats. At the Cornell University cows
that yielded 200 pounds of butter fat
annually under ordinary feeding yield
ed 80 pounds when given liberal
rations Of feed rich in nitrogen and
carbohydrates. Cream will not make
butter unless 1t contains fat. and
profitable fats will not be produced
unless cows are fed on rations rich in
the elements that produce cream.

Rye IS a good grain to feed horses.
1t is equal to oats and wheat, but it
must be ground middling fine and

The straw or hay should be cut into

it. 1t is very sticky and horses can.
not get the meal without eating the
