INSTRUCTIONS TO RURAL CARRIERS In order to expedite the delivery, collection and dispatch of rural mail, ■ enable rural carriers to cover their routes with celerity and give the earliest possible service to patrons residing on the far end* of routes, the department will Insist that all rural mail boxes be so located aa to be served with the greatest expe dition. You are. therefore, directed to re quire each rural carrier at your of- ■ce to submit to you without delay, for transmission to the department, the names of all patron* whose boxes cannot be served without leaving the road, dismounting, driving In deep ditches or on steep inclines, or on or across railway tracks involving dan ger. or the approaches to whose boxes are constructed. It I* not re- i qulred that boxes shall be erected I beside the wheel track*, nor on any 1 particular corner of the crossroads, but they must be erected within the 1 confines of the road and accessible I on any corner." The above I* part of a communi cation received by the poatmaster ofl Gresham from the department at I Washington Therefore, patrons on ; the rural routes of Gresham will ' please take notice and see that their I boxes are In good condition In every I res;>ect. also located conveniently. If they are near gutters keep the gut ter* tilled up or planked over, and ! be sure that the plank bridge 1* not , too short. Better still, place the poet SLANTING over gutter, then ! the carrier can serve the box with out driving Into the gutter. See to it that the posts are solid; that the carrier can serve the boxes without reaching through the wheel spokes or rising from their seats. See that i your boxes are solid on their posts, i If they are not as required, attend i to It at once before they are report ed to the department. Also help i your carrier by seeing that the roads are In good condition Fill up holes, niend plank roads by replacing old worn out planks with new ones This does not mean much to each Individ- i ual, but means a great deal to the I carrier and gives better and earlier ; service to all patrons. lx-t it be said of us that we have the best ru ral routes In Oregon, even in the United Blate*.

Do not overfeed the growing chicks, or they may become stunted Don't wait until young poultry be gin to droop and die before looking for lice. Do not leave the cow* out In the cold May raLns. If the nest Is too flat the eggs are sure to roll out from under the hen; and If too deep the egg* will pile on top of each other and get broken. The changes in feed should be brought about gradually and with as much care aa possible. In case your calves show signs of bavlng scours, give them a teaspccn- ful of One charcoal with th* milk for a few days. When the trouble dis appears. begin feeding hay and you will not have any more difficulty with the scours. Did you ever watch a hen just af ter you had put some nice clean straw In the nest boxes? Hear her talk about It when she climbs In to lay ber egg. She knows the differ ence and is happier than when the straw was dirty and had lice In it. Put in lots of sweet corn. It Is an attraction on the home table and a money.maker In the dairy. Always give a good feeding of hay before the cows are turned to pas ture the first time In the spring. All fruit trees need pruning im mediately after planting. Make the tops correspond with the roots. Peaches need the most trimming af ter setting; trim these to mere switches about two feet high and without side shoots longer than one inch. Kerosene is a splendid aid in the cleaning of windows. Into a basin put two tablespoonfuls of kerosene and two of water Wash with a soft cloth and dry with a newspaper. This process will remove flyspecks from both glass and paint better than water and soap do, and leaves the glass with a better polish. Set a post in your hog lot and every hog will rub against it This gives the cue for a cheap and effect ive louse killer. Wrap the post tightly from the ground up with quarter-inch rope and saturate the rope with kerosene every few days. Kerosene will kill lice, and the hogs will keep on scratching against this post. —From May Farm Journal. No. 18.
