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 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.., J. G. C. Fraser, a Co es:dist,' Central Experimental Farm.
