CARRIERS WANT DAY OF REST.
VIGOROUS Fight Being Made Against
Repeal of Sunday Law.

One of the hardest fights ever car
ried on by postoffice employees in the
history of the United States is being
waged against the repeal of the Sun
day closing law affecting first and sec
ond class postoffices. The National
Association of Letter Carriers has
gone into the fight with a vim and
its members are seeking support on
every hand for their stand against
Sunday distribution of mail. other
than that of matter of particular i'm
portance.
Pitted against the letter carriers is
Committee with Billy B. Van, the
actor, with headquarters at Detroit,
Mich. which claims to have secured
nearly 10000 signatures to a petition
asking for the repeal OF the law in
question. among the signatures
claimed being those OF the governors
OF Michigan, Wyoming, Colorado.
Minnesota. Maine. Iowa, Delaware
and New Hampshire AS to the posi-
ton OF the governors of Michigan.
Maine and Minnesota, the National
Association of Letter Carriers, through
The Postal Record. its monthly journal
has taken issue with the committee.
The letter carriers are of the be-
lief that they will be able to secure
the assistance of many travelling men
in their fight against the repeal of the
act, in sipte of the fact that the tavel'
ing men as a rule are among the chief
opposers of the anti-Sunday distribu
ton plan.

PREPARE FoR SPRING GRAINS
DiskIng Before Flowing Prevents on-
necessary Loss Of Moisture and
Loosens Surface.

In reply to the following query:
oats and fax on ground that produced
crops last season on spring breaking
or would 1t be better to plow the
ground this spring and prepare good
seed bed? The sod is not yet COM
pletely rotted."' The Farmer and
Breeder makes this reply:
I'VE believe our correspondent
should disk his ground Just as early In
the spring as possible, then plow and
harrow 1t. and II necessary give 1t an
additional disking before seeding
time. Disking before plowing is de-
sirable for two reasons. especially 30
In the region Of our correspondent:
First. because early disking prevents
unnecessary loss OF moisture; and Sec
ond. because 1t loosens the surface
soil and thus makes 1t possible to Sc
cure a closer contact between the top
OF the furrow slice and the bottom Of
the furrow at time OF plowing. This
close connection is very important
In the case of fall plowed land the soil
settles down and becomes compact
during the winter season. SO that by
spring good capillary connection be-
tween the furrow slice and the bottom
Of the furrow may be secured. Where
ground is spring plowed the connection
is apt to be too loose for the water
to rise from the subsoil up into the
furrow slice early in the season. whea
1t may be very much needed for the
sprouting Of the seed and the early
- h.
surface before plowing by means Of
disking. however. partly overcomes
this objection to spring plowing. and
disking subsequent to the plowing
firms the soil and makes It fine and
mellow in preparation for the seed.
Sowing wheat. oats. or fax on land
that produced small grains last year
without plowing is seldom. II ever. to

SOME DRY FARM QUESTIONS
Smallest Plot Of Ground That Can Be
Profltabiy Conducted 10 Placed
at 800 Acres.

Prof J. H. Shepperd of the North
Dakota Agricultural college recently
sent out a number of inquiries to d.
rectors OF the experiment stations in
the various dry farming states and ter
ritories, in which he asked what size
Of farms they regarded as best for dry
land farming. The replies indicated
that $50 acres is the smallest farm
that can be profitably conducted under
dry land conditions. and $40 acres Is
much better. In answer to the Ques-
ton whether live stock husbandry Is
considered essential to the success in
dry farming. the answer was yes" In
every case. These answers were re-
ceived from practically every western
state, and from Canada as well.
The more we learn about the dry
farming country. the more clearly 1t
appears that it Is not a country for
the poor man.. In addition to safe
payment on not less than half Sec
ton. he should have all necessary
equipment and work horses. and from

OLD POKE BoNNETs REVIVED
Made Into Things Of Beauty by the
Clever Hands Of the up.to-

Here and there one sees an alluring
poke bonnet brought to life by the mil.
liner who is clever enough to know
that the old fashions are being re-
vived, and II women wish to look like
old prints they must have hats and
mantles to go with the gowns.
The revival of the poke bonnet has
met with approval because In its mod.
ern shape 1t Is exceedingly becoming
and does not clash with the ideas OF
present millinery. It is not scoop;
It merely has o rounded brim in front
to shade the eyes. and is turned up
with a flap in the back. There Is q
chin band Of black velvet or colored
satin ribbon and q bunch Of flowers
over one ear.

Picturesque Note.

Even in the matter OF tailor-maje
gowns a certain picturesque note as
serts itself this season, the severity
of the coats, for example, being very
frequently softened by the introduo
ton Of frilled jabots Of net and lace
emphasizing the Directoire style In
which the collars and revers are cut
The coats themselves. too. show a
very becoming fullness. both back
and front, above the curved lines Of
stitched strappings with which sc
many of the basques are finished. The
fabrics which are employed for some
of these tailor-made gowns are II
themselves exceedingly picturesque
and far more decorative than the
smooth cloths and fine serges which
have been used hitherto for gowns o.

Preparlno Drains.

The first two years in the life Of a
drain Is most important. for by that
time the earth will have become firm
and channels formed In the soil to
draw the water. after which drain
will do its best work. 1t is important
to care for the mouth of drain. Cat
tie may tramp 1t full. Water may set
tie about it and the tile be destroyed
by frost. A glazed tile or two at the
mouth Is an advantage. A little stone
wall about the outlet will always pay.
