GENERAL DELIVERY.

The reform of the general delivery
window of the Post Office began in
Chicago. and it is now to be extended
to all the large cities. Unmarried
women who ask for letters at the gen
cral delivery window are likely to be
asked if they live mere. and If they
do. why they do not have letters al
dressed to them at home. There Is a
suggestion that after the girls have
been scared away from the Post OF
fee the same policy may be tried with
the married women. The general de-
livery has been used d great deal for
improper purposes. but it is only far
TO note that men can nave letters de-
hvcrcd to them at their places OF
business. where their wives will know
nothing of them.

One the first things that was told

never to throw ball back Of runner

Ty Cobb who pulled me into doing it.

good at the start and to take chances.

much about Cobb that was particu-
larly anxious not to have him pull off
anything on me- / wasn't exactly eX-

ROOT CROPS FOR DAIRY cow
Make Valuable Addition to Winter Ra-
tons Because They Add to Va
rlety Of Feed.

No matter what some people toll
you, turnips and other roots make
fine milk producing feed. Turnips
will not affect the flavor of milk II fed
at the right time.
If turnips are fed in large quaint
ties and two or three hours before
milking, they are likely to give the
milk an unpleasant taste, but If fed
directly after milking no flavor what
ever will be noticed.
A peck Of turnips to each animal
per day is suficient in most cases. A
good plan is to feed directly after hay
in the early morning, and once a day
is often enough.
A little salt scattered owe the
turnips, which should be chopped in
quarters or smaller, add to their
p~alatability.
Roots make very valuable addition
to the winter ration because they add
to the variety of the iced and no ami
NAL on the farm appreciates variety
more than the dairy COW.
In Wisconsin, Iowa and other west
ern dairy states the root crop is be-
coming a very important part Of the
crop of the farm.

SHE SELLS 100000 900 STAMPS
Mrs. Charles r.. Parkhurst Disposes
of Collection of Thirty
Years.

New york.-A collection of 10000
OO0 Cancelled postage stamps, domestic
and foreign, done up in 100000 neat
packages, were on exhibition recently
at the office of a New York dealer.
They were sold to him by Mrs.
Charles n. P~arkhurst, wife of the pas
tor of Madison Square Presbyterian
church. Mrs. Parkhurst had been pa
tiently collecting them for 80 years,
and sold them because the Parkhurst
family moved to a smaller house,
where there was no for the
stamps.
Thirty years ago Mrs. Parkhurst
read an advertisement which offered
free tuition for a Chinese lad at an
American institution of learning in ex-
change for 100000 Cancelled stamps.
Mrs. Parkhurst began to collect them
with great diligence, but when she had
a million she could find no place
where they might be exchanged for
college days for a celestial, SO she just
went On saving them.

BREEDING STOCK FOR DAIRY
In Selecting Cattle Real Test Must BE
Scales and Babeoek Test-Con.
formation Of Cow.

Professor w. J. Kennedy Of the
Iowa station recommends the follow
ing in reference to the selection Of
breeding stock for the dairy:
In selecting dairy cattle the real test
must be the scales and the Babcock
tester. Tho cow 10 a machine to con-
vert food into milk. thus she must
have a largo middle and . strong con-
%stitution to insure the best results.
She must also have q large udder.
large milk wells. large crooked milk
veins and good sized teats. Her head
should be clean and angular In ap-
pearance. with the eyes standing out
prominently. The neck should be
rather long and lean in appearance.
The shoulders pointed, and the back:
bone rather prominent. The skin
should be loose and soft to the touch.
In selecting herd bulls, either mature
animals which have already demon
strated their worth as sires, or
younger animals from high testing
dams and sires only should be used.
The best and surest results will
always follow the use Of a mature
sire which has sired heifers with good
records. A good dairy bull should be
kept until he is IL or IL years old, IN
fact as long as he Is a SUR sire. Real
good sires are SO rare that when we
do find one, he should die only Of old
age. All breeders Of dairy cattle
should secure yearly tests on each and
every COW in the herd. Shorter tests
do not really mean very much. 1t IL
the COW that stays by her job that is
really valuable.
