STREET CAR MAIL BOXES.
CITY Post Office Officials Considering
Their Use in Washington.

Letter boxes on moving street cars are
as yet a remote probability so far as this
city is concerned. There is such a service
maintained by the Post Office Department
at Burlington. Des Moines and Grand
Rapids and $4,000 was appropriated for
that class Of service last year. This
year the appropriation has been Increased
to $4,000 It was learned at the depart
ment today. Where such service is main
tanned there is but minimum Of other
collection service. The department is be-
lieved to favor the street car letter box
service where the cars of the city con-
verge at one point near the post office.
Officials Of the department are skeptical,
however, of it's utility II the mail has to
be transferred from the cars Of one line
to those Of another,
Postmaster Merritt said today that a
box OF the McAllister mail chute system
had been sent by the inventor to his Of
flee for the use of the Capital Traction
system, and that 1t would probably sbe
sent to General Manager Carl very soon.

future. and II there Is he wants to wit.

NEW OUTFIT FOR IRRIGATION
Water Litter Of Recent Manufacture
Is Excellent for Use on Elk
tremely High Ground.

Farmers who either flooded or ran
the crop was planted this last spring
are the ones, If they irrigated at the
proper periods afterward, who are
reaping the potatoes, beets and gar
den truck. Where no irrigating was
done until after the crop was up the
crop was much less, and in some
cases, even with proper watering, the
crop has be / a failure, simply be-
cause Of no bottom moisture at the
start.
A trial is being made of many
kinds of pumps. makeshifts, eleva'
tors and filters. Each class has
its place-its advocates. The centifu-
gal pumps are hard to beat on low
lifts, but where the water must be
raised, say 20 feet or over, they have
some capable competitors, writes O
Bolles in the Farm, Stoc' and Home,
One of these is true water litter OF
rather recent manufacture, which lifts
the water to 20 feet or more with less
power than many other styles. The
litter in use here is the 500-gallon-per-
minute type and requires four horse
power for that capacity.
The machine consists essentially OF
SO eight-gallon buckets galvanized
sheet steeD swung between two cog
chains. These chains turn about two
large cog wheels suspended loosely
in the well Cor pitt, at the top the
chain cog wheels get their power
through back-geared friction pulleys.
There are two shaftings; one carries
the chain cog wheel and larger fric-
ton wheels, the other the belt pulley
and smaller friction pulleys.
AS the ascending buckets begin
their backward journey the water is
dumped into a centrally placed recep-
tacle, directly underneath the shaft
ings. From this vessel the water
flows out around the ascending buck
cts to an outflowing trough. There is
brake, so that If the machine stops

Do not inbred unless you have

This should not be followed up too
closely. Plan to have the heifers drop
their first calves at about "a to 80
months of age. Their offspring will
be more vigorous and there will be
better results than by forcing an i'm
mature animal to bear progeny.

MULCHING THE
STRAWBERRY BED
Where Straw Is Not Readily OBJ
tainabIe 1t Is Difficult to Get
Covering of Right
Thickness.

(By H. f. GRINSTEAD. Missouri)
Where straw is readily obtainable
it is difficult to spread properly over
the strawberry plants so that 1t will
be thick enough yet not smother the
plants or require raking off in the
string.
mulch of oats or sorghum is the
best thing | know of that may be
sown between the rows.
Oats alone has been tried. but from
the fact that we often have a very
dry fall it has not always made a
satisfactory growth before frost.
Sorghum or kaffir corn are dry
weather plants, and if there is suffi'
cient moisture in the soil to germin-
ate the seed they will grow till frost.
A good plan is to SOW oats and sor-
ghum or oats and kaffir corn in mix
ture and thick enough so that it will
not be coarse.
AS soon as it is killed by the frost
the sorghum will fall, making an ideal
mulch. Then. as the weather becomes
more severe the oats will be killed.
Mulch grown in this way will al
ways be found thickest where needed
in bare places and between the
rows.
1t cannot possibly smother out the
plants no matter how rank it grows
and is the best for keeping the fruit
off the ground in the spring
One of the greatest advantages II
a mulch of this kind is that you are
reasonably sure to have no weeds
sown with it, as is often the case
when using wheat straw.
