FIGHTING BAG WORMS.
Picking Them from Fruit and shade
Trees Early In the Year IL the
safest Method.

On many fruit trees and shade trees
one may find the cocoons of bag
worms. They are usually from one to
two inches long, and are suspended by
one of the pointed ends from the
smaller branches of the trees. Each Of
the larger cocoons contains, during
the winter, large number of eggs.
II these are allowed to remain on the
tree until the eggs hatch in the spring
there will be produced from the eggs
in a few eocoons enough young worms
to strip all the leaves from tree
early in the summer. These worms
seem to be especially fond of cedar
trees, and are very likely TO be over
looked on these trees until they have
become so numerous as to seriously
damage the trees.
With these worms n stitch in time
saves ninety. The cocoons picked from
the trees should be thoroughly de-
stroyed. Should it become necessary
to destroy large numbers of the
worms in the summer, good plan
would be to dust or spray the trees
with paris green, London purple or
some other arsenical poison. One of
the larger cocoons left on marked
limb of small tree should afford a
crop of worms which would afford in
teresting and instructive object les
sons to boys and girls. and older folks.
This crop of worms should be thinned
from time to time, and when the
worms retire into the cocoons to
pupate, the twigs from which they
hang may be placed in covered glass
jars. The male moths emerge as
winged adults. but the female moths
remain in the cocoons.-Midland

Plants growing in well-prepared
quarters do not require the roots dis
turbed annually by digging in large
quantities of manure among them, but
judiciously applied top dressings are of
the utmost advantage. Bone manure
is applied by taking a little of the sur
face soil from around the stem and
shaking handful or two over the roots
and then returning the soil. Very fine
rose growths and blooms may be pro-
duced in this way. Many persons think
their roses will degenerate IL the whole

ORNAMENT THE YARD.
IL Pays to Surround the Farm House
with Trees, shrubs and Clam
bering Vines.

II the farmer knew how cheaply his
grounds could be ornamented, there
would be fewer unsightly yards in the
country. Even the boys and girls, with
little trouble, could surround the
house with beautiful trees and shrubs
and clambering vines, and the cost
would be only "a few days work each
year. There is scarcely tree or a
shrub that will not propagate readily
from cuttings, and all kinds can be in
creased almost indefinitely. Insert the
cuttings in moist piece of ground in
the spring, and give them one or two
hoeings. BY the second year they will
be large enough TO transplant to per-
manent quarters. Some writers re-
commend transplanting little deeper
in the new location than originally
grown, but the theory is unnatural,
for nature feeds from the roots, not
the trunk. The sprouting of seeds is
a curious study; too much or too lit
tie soil cover may cause seed to ger
inmate, to lie dormant, or to rot.
Trees grown from small, light seeds,
SuSh 40 poA ciuCT, iuuPtc, Gin, WITHIN
wood, should be planted shallow,
whereas deep-rooted varieties which
produce large, heavy seeds, such as the
oak and walnut, require deeper plant
ing; and care in transplanting should
be taken that the roots are placed in
the positions in which they formerly
grew, as nearly as possible. Some
times cottonwoods and soft naples
standing so shallow that some of the
upper roots become visible on the sur
face make quick. vigorous growth.
The roots which formerly grew close
to the surface should certainly not be
placed deep down in the soil. OF course
nature tries to overcome abuse of this
kind by sending out new networks of
rootlets, but while this is being done
the growth of the tree is retarded.
Herbaceous plants, like lilies, phloxes,
peonies. irises, 'yuccas, anemonies, and
hundreds of others, can have their
roots divided and subdkided. and the
plants will be the more thrifty for the

THE GOOD ROADS IDEA.
PenpsyIvania Appropri"te- six and
One-HaIf million Dollars to
Help IL Along.

The leaven of road improvement
seems to be working in all parts of the
United States. An eastern man, who
has recently taken trip through Tex
as, says the enthusiasm with which the
idea" is wonderful. In some counties
they are in danger of "going wild" on
the subject. Funds are being raised
mainly by issue of county bonds.
In Pennsylvania, the state idea has
taken firm hold. The plan just
adopted is for the state, the county
and the township to cooperate in
the work of building and improving
the roads. The state is to pay two
thirds of the expense, and the county
and township in which the work is
done each one-sixth of the expense.
The state has made available for this
purpose So, SOC, 900, to be expended dur
ing the next few years.
The principle involved in the state
mid plan is exactly the same as that in
volved in the scheme for national aid
which has developed such popularity
recently. The fundamental idea of
both is that road improvement is not
merely matter of LOGAN interest and
responsibility, but matter of inter
est and concern to the whole people;
or, to put ii another way, road build
ing is coming to be viewed as n species
Of internal Improvement" belonging
in the same class as river and harbor
improvements.
Another reason why national and
state aid are becoming so popular is
the realizati ton that, unless something
of the kind is adopted, the burden OF
bad roads, like the poor, will be al
ways with us. The bottomless roads
of the country constitute a sort of
slough of despond" i'm which the peo-
pie are destined to founder until some
one comes along to help them out. In
fact the expense for improving, the
roads in many localities Is a burden
which the local population is wholly
unable to bear. II is believed that
whenever the state or the nation
reaches out helping hand to such
communities, they will grasp II and
bend all their energies to the great
work of improving their highways,
but they will never undertake the job
without help from the outside.
The frequent spring rains made the
roads almost impossible In majority
of the local communities throughout
the eastern half of the United States.
Perhaps this Is one of the reasons why
The good roads idea is uppermost in
% mani minds.
