IMPROVEMENT
IN SERVICE

Through the assistance OF Past
masters c. 3. Donovan. Jr., of the west
end. and II. c. Rutledge of the east end,
East Chicago. the Chamber Of Com
merce has scored another victory in
that these officials have received the
sanction Of the government postoffice
to employ a messenger to carry mail
sacks between the postoffices in the
two ends of the city
This is another step in the perfec-
ton Of inter-city mail service, on which
the Chamber of Commerce has been
working for the past year.
The notice inviting proposals for this
messenger service involves two round
trips per day.
Postmaster Donovan is in Chicago
today perfecting the matter Of routes
and service in accordance with this
plan.
While in Chicago he will also take up
the matter Of better mail service out of
this city to Chicago At the present
time there is no outgoing mail TO Chi
cago between 1880 a. m. and 10, noon.
His plan is to secure arrangements
for another pouch on this line between
the aforesaid hours. This will ma
terially assist in securing afternoon
delivery OF local mail in Chicago.

British Emancipation.

The first day of August, 1884, is
often mentioned, but enormously, as
the day on which the slaves in the
British colonies were set free. They
did not get their actual freedom, but
an apprenticeship which was to pre-
cede and prepare for their freedom.
It was enacted that all slaves should
become "apprenticed laborers" to their
masters. These slaves were of two
classes. One class received actual
freedom in 1888 and the other in 1910.
1t was found that on August 1, 1884,
there were 770,280 slaves in the col
onies affected by this emancipation
act. All negroes born after that date
were born free Twenty million pounds
sterling, $1OO,OOO,OOO, was ultimately
paid to the owners of these slaves,
this sum being distributed ratably ac-
cording to the market price of slaves
In each colony.

in a school where the master was a
rigid old Virginian. One day, at the
writing lesson, he noticed that l was
following the copy with my left hand.
No more of that, my lad said the
master; you'll write with your right
hand or it will be the worse for you.
THE next day. forgetting this
threat, I was using my left hand at
the writing lesson. He yanked me
from my desk, drew my nankeen trou-
sers tight, very tight, over the seat
and gave me a most cruel fiogging,
the testimony to which l carried for
many days. When my father saw
these black and blue stripes on my

VALUE OF MANURE sPREADER
Saving of Labor Is Only One of Many
Advantages Offered by the Use
of the implement.

Most farmers believe that the great
est value to be derived from a ma
nure spreader is in the saving of labor.
AS a matter of fact, this is only one
of the advantages offered by the use
Of such an implement.
Another advantage which is even
more important in many ways, is the
fact that manure scattered evenly and
rather thinly over a wide area will
give very much more return per ton
than where scattered irregularly and
On the thinner places, as is usually
done when distributed from a wagon.
This increased return is due to the
fact that there is less loss in fermenta-
ton when put on thinly, and also to
the fact that a considerable share of
the value of manure comes from the
addition of beneficial bacteria to the
soil, SO that when this takes place
over wide area it is much more bene-
fetal than when limited to a small
area.

GOOD PLAN FOR INBREEDING
Animals Used for Purpose Should Be
as Near Perfect as Is Possible
Watch Hogs Closely.

(By DR.. r. H. WILLIAMS Animal Hus-
bandman, Arizona Experiment Station.)
It makes a difference in inbreeding
whether one is handling purebred OF
grade stock. By inbreeding we mean
the breeding together of animals. of a
common blood. l would advise you to
use animals for inbreeding that are as
nearly perfect as possible. TheoTeti
cally, if you have perfect animals, the
only logical thing to do is to inbraed
because it is simply impossible to Sc
cure evil results from incest with such
animals
Perfect animals are a rarity Ordi
narily it is wise to inbreed the off
spring on the sire where the sire is
good registered animal and the dam
an ordinary scrub. Care should be
exercised, however, not to follow this
more than once, as inbreeding is two
edged sword which must be handled
with the greatest care. The sire may
be bred to a second generation of his
get with good results, but this is not
recommended.
1t would not be as much inbreedine
to use sire on his granddaughter OF
brother and sister as to use a sire on
his daughter, but breeders have used
both methods with good and evil re-
suits.
Hogs will stand inbreeding less than
any other kind of farm animal, and on
this account must be watched closely

Of the twelve million inhabitants of
Burma, ten million are Burmese. The
Burmese is one of the proudest, most
