Caterpillars are very pestilential this
year and some farmers are burning
them OFF their apple trees. Now. says
a Fairfield farmer who has triea it, if
they will take their soap-suds, etc, a
window brush or a swab, they will kill
them off much quicker and easier with
out damage to the trees, than any other
way. The least touch OF soap-suds on
caterpillar will kill it as quick As creased
lightning.

Good Roads and More Taxes.

There is very unusual interest this
spring in the good roads movement,
and the subject of better country
roads will probably be taken up at
almost every town meeting in the
state this spring. The friends of the
good roads movement have grown
wonderfully in number, and the only
objection to their agitation which has
been heard, is the claim that we can
not get better roads without increas-
ing our road taxes. Farmers declare
that they are paying enough taxes
and that they will fight tooth and
nail against any effort on the part of
the good roads cranks to make them
paysmoIe road taxes
The good roads men, on the other
hand, declare that there is no inten-
ton on their part to increase the
burden of taxes which the farmer AL
ready bears. They claim that Wis
consin farmers are to-day paying a
great deal more in the way Of road
taxes than is necessary to build the
best kind of roads all through the
state. They point to the fact that in
many towns where roads have been
built by calling out the farmers to do
the work, the town meetings have
voted an extra tax to buy road ma
chimes. This last tax of course has
been paid in money. Now, the good
roads men say that it is unnecessary
to have both these taxes, that the reg
ular road taXis large enough for both
purposes, and that if it were paid in
cash, it would bring enough money
into the town treasury each year, to
make an investment on road machin-
cry and to leave enough on hand to
do the usual amount of road work,
SO long as this work is honestly done,
and whole days labor is obtained
for whole days pay. They claim
that by this method a town can buy
a new road machine each year, and
later on can purchase stone crushers
and road rollers, and in the course of
