A Good Road Scheme.

The unique figure in the Good
Roads World is State Senator
Earle, of Detroit. He was at one
time connected with the depart
ment of good roads inquiries at
Washington as an expert, which
office he was obliged to relinqu-
ish upon his election to the Sen.
ate. He has scheme which if
put into practice would soon bring
the millennial dawn of good
roads, says the Philadelphia
North american. In explaining
his scheme he said:
''First, / would have the gov.
eminent make good road maps of
each county in the United States,
showing all the public highways.
| would have bad roads painted
in red, fairly good ones in blue
and the improved roads in black.
These would be published in
pocket form and sold for five
cents each in all the postoffces.
This would in fact compel every
farmer to see to it that his road
was improved, for he would soon
see the advantage of having his
farm located on one of the i'm
proved roads.
"Second, would levy tax of
80 cents year on every vehicle
in the land. This alone would
yield an annual revenue of sew
eral millions. 1t would furnish
all the funds necessary for the
purpose. The tax would be a
trifle and would be cheerfully
paid by most people so long as it
was to be devoted to the better
ment of highways"

A DESTRUCTIVE PEST

We call particular attention to a
special communication to the CITIZEN
from a. l.. Quaintance, State Ento-
mologist, on the San Jose Scale. y
which exists to an alarming extent in
this city and county. Only recently
Mr.. Quaintance was in this section
looking up the matter and he regards
the situation as very serious. In the
article referred to he goes into details
and suggests a remedy which all should
avail themselves of who are troubled
with this terrible pest The interests
OF our citizens are vitality concerned,
and we trust they will awaken to the
fact and unite in trying to root out this
enemy of shade and fruit trees, root
and branch. Mr.. Quaintance will be
glad to answer any inquiries addressed
to him at College Park, Md, on this or
any kindred subjects. The department
with which he is connected The Mary
land Agricultural College and Expert
ment Station and State Horticultural
Department has been doing commend
able work in this line for many years
and many reports are issued treating
the diseases of trees, flowers and plants,
which would be of great interest and
value to those engaged in their culture
Our farmers and nurserymen could
benefit themselves in many ways by
coming into closer touch with these de-
and taking advantage of
their work and experiments.

he is naturally the residuary leg
aztec of Mckinley; that he has
demonstrated beyond any dis.
pute marvellous capacity for lead.
ership of a high order. He has
proved himself in the Senate a
debater able to cope with all
corners and evinced a thorough
knowledge of and capacity to
deal with public questions. 1t is
further alleged that his attitude
on the labor question and his con-
nection with the arbitration
agreement makes him solid with
the laboring classes. Further
more, it is said that when the
time comes Mr.. Roosevelt will not

How to Hatch Oysters by the
Thousand in a Tumbler.

Much attention is being given
the subject Of artificial propa-
cation of oysters lately, owing
to the discussions ont this subject
at Annapolis, out very little has
been done in this line before in
this country.
Considerable interest will con-
sequently be attached to expert.
ments conducted recently by Pro.
fessor John A. Ryder at Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore,
Md. Some of the results OBJ
tanned have been most remark.
able.
Take an oyster and open it so
that the animal lies on the deep
shell. Then. with an ordinary
glass pipette. such as is used for
an eye dropper, stroke its upper
surface gently away from the
hinge. If the animal is in con
dition for spawning fluid will
exude containing microscopic
eggs or countless tiny pollywogs.
Put a few drops containing pol
lywogs into tumbler of salt
water with a lot Of the eggs and
in a couple of hours you will have
in the tumbler many thosands of
young oysters. Matched alive and
healthy.
Under natural conditions the
eggs OF the spawning oysters are
simply set free in the water of
river or bay. The chances of be.
ing Matched under these circum-
stances is so small that probably
not more than one egg in a mil.
lion is fertilized, and thus 999. 900
possible oysters are lost for every
one that is Matched. When the
method above described is adopt
ed. on the other hand, 80 per
cent. of the eggs are Matched 1t
only remains then, to liberate the
baby bivalves thus brought into
the world by Incubator process,
under circumstances that will
conduce to their survival.
The oyster is a much more com
plicated animal than most people
imagine. 1t has a heart, a liver,
an intestine and even what may
fairly be called brain-this last
consisting of two knots of ner.
vous matter just over the gullet.
w hat is ordinarily called the
heart is in reality a great muscle.
by the help of which the animal
keeps its shell closed. The real
heart may be seen just above the
muscle, beating slowly if an oys.
ter be opened carefully and the
delicate membrane close by the
muscle be gently cut away.
