lay eggs in the calyx of the blossom
about two weeks after the blossom
first appears. From the egg matches a
caterpillar which pierces the skin OF
the fruit and eats its way toward the
center. 1t feeds upon the pulp around
the core until it finishes it's caterpillar
growth, at which time it is about three
quarters of an inch in length. Then it
usually leaves the apple to find crew
ice in the bark, where it spins silken
cocoon and enters the pupa stage. Two
weeks later it energies as a moth like
the one that laid the original egg. The
experience of horticulturists has been

boards erected. The measuring begins
at the center Of the street just in front
of the courthouse and proceeds along
the nearest line Of travel. The village
streets have the customary lOO num-
bers to the block, but outside the limits
the country house numbers are used,
two to each block Of 528 feet (32 fods)
of road. Odd numbers are on the left
hand, even on the right. a gate on the
right-hand side, with it's right post
3 ITO miles by road from the court
house. is 81 blocks distant, and IS III the
32d block. Hence it's road number IS
81. or twice 80. A gate just across the
road would be numbered 60. Half the
even numbers of a block divided by 10
always gives it's extreme distance from
the beginning. Each house has the
number of the block upon which It's
gate or entrance is located, as "a for
the first house. Other houses, built Oh
the same block take the numbers 64a,
CAB to 64z. On the fence, or post,
line is placed showing the numbers
and the divisions between blocks. On
the right is Ga GO. On the left is
marked 81 63. At the end of each
mile (ten blocks an X is painted inside
q circle. The half-mile is marked by
aV in a semrcircle. There are 20 road
numbers to the mile. The Textbook
system works as we'll with houses miles
apart as with those closer, even to 70
feet apart. The distance between any
two house numbers in the country can
he easily reckoned The homes Of
farmers can be quickly found. Stran-
gers can be given clear directions. The
mileage of officers can be quickly calcu-
lated. Road work can be accurately
located by it's block number. A coun-
ty directory could be printed with farm
names and road numbers of every citi-
zen. A former postmaster general has
declared that the Textbook system OF
numbering country roads would remove
+he only obstacle to rapid and accurate
free postal and telegraph delivery to
farmers Contra Costa farmers expect
TO secure free delivery at once, under
the new appropriation by Congress for
this purpose.

Name and Mum Der the Roads.
Much Of the isolation of the farmer is
caused by the time consumed in finding
his residence, says Farm and Home.
A certain numbered house on a GER
tain named street makes one at home
in town, but the farmer is stranger
in a strange land when seeking fell
low farmer in an adjoining county.
The wide-awake agriculturists of Con-
ira Costa County, California, a few
years ago set about to remedy this I'M
fortunate condition apd adopted what
has since been known as the Textbook
system, that is, the naming and meas
uring of all country roads and dividing
them into ten blocks to the mile. The
enactment Of the plan was secured
from the county board Of supervisors
and work under it was begun at once.
Roads were named in as long lengths
as practicable. Names Of towns and
diving residents were not used. Some
landscape feature, some historical as
Sociation suggested the name. Bear
Greek road, Lime Ridge crossing, Lake
Connex, Mountain drive, Walnut way,
Vista Rio, Granger exit and Happy Val
ley local are examples. A list Of the
roads was made, beginning with those
going northward from the county seat,
followed by those going easterly, south
erIy and westward. Complete records
as to local objects are kept and guide

Good Rutter in Winter.

With care in making the proper ar
rangements, good butter can readily be
made in winter, and the cost be not
materially increased. There must be
fresh COWS. Good, warm, dry shelter,
plenty of good feed and water, proper
arrangements for handling the milk
and cream so as to secure the desired
temperature for cream raising and but
ter making, and with these essentials,
good butter at only a slightly increased
cost per pound can be made. But, the
quality must be good to make the most
out of it, as the consumer demands good
butter in winter, the same as in sum-
mer, and the price is largely determ-
ined by the quality all seasons.

NOT OUT ON BAIL.
Beveridge and Redpath Still in Jail at
Besselner.


Marinette, Wis, Nov. Especial. /
The common report circulated in regard
to Duncan Beveridge and james Red
path being out of jail on bail is entirely
erroneous. Letters have been received
here by friend of Beveridge. and by
Redpath's wife within the last few days
to the effect that both are still in jail at
Bessemer, Mich. Redpath's bail will be
set Tuesday, and he will then get out of
prison, but Beveridge does not expect
to be similarly treated and will remain
in Jail until the trial takes place. The
alleged murderers of Mollie Beveridge
will be tried December at Ontonagon
if possible but more probably at Mar
quette Attorney H. o. Fairchild of
Green Bay has been engaged to defend
them, and it is due to his efforts that
the circuit judge gives Redpath bail.
The trial will attract the attention Of
the entire Northwest, as John Mcdonald
served six years in state prison at Mar
quette for the crime which is now laid
upon Beveridge and Redpath.
