hown in the Increase of Mail Mat
ter Handled Annually.
The growth of our country and the
Increase In the volume Of business can
be realized no better than by a COM
parison of the number of pieces of mail
matter handled annually. The total
for 1889 was $3.50. 100000 pieces. In
cluding letters, postal cards, newspa-
pers, printed matter and packages Of
every sort. Twenty years later the
total was four times as great, and
reached 1S,173.340.329.
The advance has been remarkably
regular year after year and at the
rate Of about 100 per cent every five
years. In 1S47, the year when post
age stamps were first issued, the total
number Of pieces that passed through
the mails was 114.175,4S0.
A considerable part Of the increase
during the last ten years has been
due to rural delivery. Farmers are
now able to receive newspapers, let
ters and other mail matter at their
doorsteps without leaving their plows
or their harvest fields and driving into
town.
There are now nearly 10000 rural
delivery carriers who are paid $35,000,-
900 year for carrying the letters and
newspapers to the country homes In
the United States, and together they
Travelled last year more than 100000
miles day. The rural delivery serv-
Ice is now thirteen years old, and it
has been the greatest success of any
new idea that has been introduced into
the administration Of our government.
The Postofice Department will renew
Its efforts to secure law authorizing
a parcels post service so that farmers
wives can do their shopping by mail.

Planting Potatoes.

The prevailing, and we might say
foolish, custom of most farmers is to
plant potatoes just as they come, lit
tie and big. Indeed, some use the
smaller ones for seed and retain the
larger ones for cooking purposes,
sometimes placing them on the mar
ket.
While such a course will not no
ticeably affect the potato crop for a
single season, its continuation surely
out slowly lowers the yield - not so
much by an insufficient number OF
tubers. but by inferiority in size and
quality. We believe this to be the
chief blunder made by most potato
raisers and that it accounts for more
failures with this crop than any other
one cause
Assuming that you failed to select
seed potatoes at the proper time last
season (as nine out Of ten fail to)
great care should be exercised in Sc.
lecting seed this spring. With the
thought In mind that 1t was quite like
ly the healthy, vigorous plant which
produced the larger tubers, these
should be chosen for seed, since the
smaller potatoes, which no doubt
came from weak or inferior plant
and. II planted, would produce a like
growth. Is this not true of any other
plant or animal life? Then why
should 1t not be true Of potatoes p

No Place for CelestiaIs,

George Richmond Hayes, the noted
San Francisco ethnologist, said at 4
recent dinneri
"The yellow races are held in bet

man in red shirt said to me:

II smiled.

A Valuable Hatch.

A forcible illustration Of the .capa.
billties OF setting Of eggs were seen
in poultry show not so long ago. A
man bought a setting OF eggs Of one
OF the American class OF fowls.
Twelve out Of 13 eggs hatched, one OF
the chicks died, but the owner sue
ceeded in raising the remaining Ii to
maturity. He brought them to the
show, there were three cockerels and
eight pullets and they were all Of O
uniform color and size. They won first
cockerel. first and second pullet and
first hen. They were easily worth one
hundred dollars OF any mans money
