History was made in Clinton en
¥enday night when a candidate for

.seconded by a lady. The candidate
was lir. C. G: Middleton, candidate
for the reeveship, whose 'nomination
was seconded by Miss Winnifred O'-

The Postollice Department has some
reason, no doubt, for changing the
-color of postage stamps although the
reason does not appear td the -or-

ever, got back to our old red three-

accustomed until it was changed to
brown a few, years ago.

HOLIDAY FOR RURAL MAIL
COURIERS
Among five 'changes in the postal
system announced by Postmaster -
General Hon. Charles Murphy and
went into effect` on January lst, are
twe which are eef considerable bene-
fit to employees.The first which
affects city mail. clerks, reads aa" fol-
lows; "After January 1, 1924, exam-
inations on sortation, in the cases of
employees receiving a salary of less
than $1,200 in all the larger city post -
cages, will be conducted by the local
Postmasters and not by the depart-
ment as heretofore." It is under-
stood that approximately two hun-
dred 'men will be affected by this
change, 'which was askedfor by the.
employees.
The second order granted a holiday
on New Year's Day to rural mail con-
tractors and, unless objection to this
change is taken by the patrons of the
riiral routes; this holiday will be con-
tinued in future. It is believed that,
if this proves satisfactory, the car -
tiers will be granted all, public holi-
days. For many years there has
been an agitation on the part of car-
riers to obtain this object.
-According to another ruling, the
practice of withholding, -;one month's
pay as security for service from mail
contractors will be discontinued.
Another important change put into
effect is in connection with the money
order system, and provides'for a new.
fornt of stoney order "which will de
away withthe, aclvi0e notice, so long
a source of incenve:Aeries to those re-
ceiving money orders. The new form
may be transmitted as quickly as ex-
press ,money orders, It bears a slip
with the amount stltmped, upon it,
which cannot be raised' by persons'
wishing to perpetuate fraud
On Jauuary 1 the,new postal treaty.

for a direct money order exchange

letin,

The lower sieve should be' smaller
than the top sieve and allow the weed
seeds and broken kernels to pass
through. The feed should be heavy
enough to keep the top sieve thinly
covered. This will tend to carry the,
rough material over the end. . It is
usually necessary to pass the . seed
grain through the mill at least twice
before a thoroughlyy satisfactory
sample is obtained, If oats and
barley; are present in large quantities
when cleaning wheat, .it will pad to
let a fairly heavy flowcover the 'top
sieve, even to the :point of allowing
some of the wheat to pass over in
order to insure the removal of° the
greatest amount of eats and barley.
When the grain on the home farm
is,,net suitable for 'seeding, seed
should be purchased from a thorough-
ly reliable source and preferably reg-
istered material of a; variety proven
suitable to the district.

Tffli PREPARATION OI' GRAIN
FOR SEEDING
(Experimental Farms Note.)
In preparing grain for seeding pur-
poses,a,good :fanning -mill is practi-
cally necessary The proper adjust-
ing of this :machine to do the work
required demands care and good
judgement as'regards the choice and
arrangement of sieves for the kind of
grains to be cleaned. The size of the
he
sieve will depend on the size of
grains to be cleaned and also on the
make of the fanning mill used. How-
eyer, if any difficulty is experienced
in getting the right adjustment, the
maker of the mill will select the right
sin 'of sieve. if he is' furnished with
a one pound, sample of the grain in
question.
In cleaning grain it is desirable to
use a top sieve with perforations just
big enough to allow the kernels to,
pass through.; The straw, chaff and
other coarse material and seeds net
wanted will be carried over the top
and delivered'' separately. • The air
blast' should be heavy enough to blow'
dirt, light kernels and many of the
weed seeds tllc•ar of the geed grain.
It is not economical" to sow poorly
graded seed or seed containing' weed
seeds, Weeds in a crop entail a
direct loss as they .take up space,'
moisture and plant food. They also
add to the cost of harvesting, thresh-
ing and handling..,
