6 GOOD POINTS FOR
RURAL ROUTE PATRONS

Kansas Daily Prints Some Excellent
Suggestions for Patrons to Follow Il
| Facilitate Mail Delivery--Based or
Winter Weather Conditions--Th They
Hit the Nail on the Head.
The following valuable and pertinent
hints to patrons of rural routes appeared
in the news columns of the Manhattan
KAN Daily Nationalist of December !,
Read them over, they're worth while;
Patrons can help their carrier and by
so doing help improve the service on ru-
raj routes.
| Purchase stamps and envelopes
and have all mail ready to dispatch.
Stamp your letters and cards before de-
posting them in your mail box, and es-
pecially do this. for your carrier in all
bad weather. Did ever you think how
cold it would be for the rural carrier to
take off his wraps and gloves and pick
small coin out of your mail boxl Have
you little cup in your box to place the
coins in? If not your carrier would like
to see one in there tomorrow morning.
He carries for the patrons supply OF
stamps, cards and stamped envelopes, so
that the ptarons may buy in sufficient
Quantities to enable them to stamp all
mail before 1t is left in the box.
Seconds your box well located? 1t
should be set away from the fence on a
solid post, and about four feet above the
ground, in a position that the carrier
may drive very close to it, and easily
reach same without unwrapping.
"Third-Has your box sign on it II
it has not, and there should happen to be
no mail for you some day, then your
outgoing mail is most likely to be left in
the box, as carriers are instructed to
look for mail only in the boxes where
the sign is shown Of outgoing mail. ANY
simple sign that is easily seen when dis
played is all that is necessary.
"Fourth-If you have any friends Wis
iting you and they want their mail to
come TO your box, you should mention
it to the carrier and he win watch for
same at the postoffice, should it not
come addressed in your care. Visitors
mail most often comes without special
address.
"Fifth-Do you receive any parcel
post packages Some kind OF a large
box placed at convenient position, !
though it sits on the ground will be bet
ter than for your carrier TO place package |
on the snow or dampened ground. You
DO not want your package lost, but have |
you provide for it,
"Sixth-Bad road conditions are a
great drawback to rural delivery. All |
patrons should insist on township Off
GERS keeping road over which rarrier tray-
els in best possible condition. You trav-
el over this same road, and aside from
helping your carrier deliver your mail
earlier and more promptly, you have the
pleasure and satisfaction of travelling
over a smooth, well-kept road.
when the snow drifts around your
box, see that it is cleared away and the
road open 10 your box by the time your
,arrier comes. Remember, the postoffiee
department. does not require him to SSt
nut of his vehicle TO get to your box. The
,arrier is not supposed to venture into
or mud
"These are only few of the ways you
an assist in prompt delivery of your
nail, Your carrier win appreciate all (
ourtesies and win do his best to always .
eturn good for good"

The Legislatures Work.

There is opportunity enough for thu
present legislature to fall down; thai
is certain. But thus far no one car
bring any objections TO the way it hal
been handling the business put befor,
iL. Speaker Weeks called the attention
of the House to the fact that the legis.
lature Of 1912 received its first bill on
the eighth day of the session, whereas
the 1915 legislature, at a corresponding
time, had received 81 measures. He
might have added that one had been
passed by both branches and sent To
The governor for his signature, and that
other bills had been put well along on
their way.
OF course it is possible to overesti.
mate the value of the introduction OF
bills, for. undoubtedly. the state would
be better off II some Of them had never
seen the light OF day. But ii they must
come in. il il better that they should
come early and be acted on with dis
patch. The legislature has shown a dis
position 20 tend 10 business. Observers
OF other sessions say they all start OF
the same way. But this session is an
exception because from the start the
House had some bills before Il, thanks
20 the revisers who had been az work
before the opening OF the session. But
Il may b. said that II officials and mem
bers 90 along as they have started there
won't BE- much ground for complaint on
the part Of the public. But they must
hold themselves 10 the task.-St. A..
lmns Messenger.

THE SCIENCE OF PRUNING.
Object Is Not Only to Remove Dead
Wood. But Also to Shape the Tree.

Professor M. g. Burritt OF New Yorl
writes in Farmers Bulletin No, 1911; TIT
first thing in pruning will be to remove
dead or injured wood In doing this the
cut should be made well behind the in
! jured or diseased part, and the wounC
should be left with smooth edges. The
second object will be TO shape the tree
Ii it is too high it should be headed back
II is most important to get the treer
down low enough SO that the operations
of spraying and pruning can be easily
performed. II will be found very neces'
sary to do this heading back on most
old orchards, as usually the trees have
been set close together, trimmed up
and left to grow as high as they would
Most 6ld orchards are much too high, a
defect due both to too high heading in
the first place and too high training sub
sequently. Five or 10 feet may be safe
ly removed If the work is properly done
and good judgment used, cutting back
the leaders Of the uppermost branches
and not cutting too much out OF a tree
in one year.
In the third place, it will usually be
necessary to thin out the smaller
branches, and in many cases even the
larger limbs in order to admit plenty of
sunlight to the leaves and fruit and to
avoid too great competition among the
branches. Thinning the branches thins
the fruit also, enabling the fruit which
remains to develop better than it other
wise would
Pruning during the winter or dormant
coa ia 20 Ell lof IN n nd
to make the tree more vigorous. This
stimulation is often very important
result of early pruning; in fact, it is
often done to induce new yigor in the
tree. Pruning may be done at any time
during the dormant season, though IL Is
best done in early spring just before
the buds swell az growth starts.
All large wounds, or those over two
inches in diameter, should be painted
over with coat of some such material
as heavy lead paint, which is probably
best for the purpose, adding little
lampblack to make the color ineonspicu
Gus. The treatment excludes moisture
and consequent decay and disease. If
a tree has a bad crotch which is split
ting down, a half-inch or one inch iron
bolt with a wide thick washer at either
end may be used TO draw and hold the
parting branches together. Such bolts
are inserted through holes bored in the
limbs. A limb that has rotted badly
on one side or in the middle may be
strengthened and the rot prevented from
spreading by cleaning out the rotted por
ton thoroughly, disinfeeting the bare
surfaces, applying some such material as
tar to form waterproof layer, and
filing the cavity with cement.s
