cohoUERINC SQUASH Bug.
Best Methods of Protecting the Vines
from the Ravages Of This
Pest,

After the squashes, cucumbers and
melons are well started the squash
bug makes its appearance. Those who
have garden know the fiat, rusty
black creature with its vile odor. In
spring or early summer the eggs are
laid on the leaves and stems of plants,
sometimes singly, but usually in
groups of from IL to so. They are
brownish-yellow and easily found.
Fortunately the insect confines its at
tention almost entirely to cucurbi-
taceous plants.
AS the bugs grow they scatter over
the leaves, melting five times before
they reach maturity. Naturally tho
plant is weakened by such attentions
leaf that has nourished many bugs
will turn yellow, and if the pests are
numerous enough the whole plant may
be killed. 1t is sometimes claimed
that the bug stings the leaf and kills
1t, but it would be more to the point
to say that the leaf is tapped and Its
l1fe-blood sucked out. In autumn the
adult bug crawlS under a board, stone
or rubbish and remains till spring.
The Nympha may be killed by q
spray of kerosene emulsion or tobacco
water, as their bodies are soft and
unprotected. But the old bugs are
proof against this kind of treatment
Their hard-shelled backs protect them
The most practicable remedy thus
far seems to be hand picking, says
the Orange Judd Farmer. 1t should
begin with the first bug and be
repeated at short intervals. The best
time for it is in the morning while
1t Is cool and the bugs sluggish.
A convenient way is to drop the
bugs into can containing water with
little kerosene. The bugs will swim
In clear water, but the film of Oil on
the surface is sure DEATH Boards or
shingles placed on the ground are an
assistance in gathering the bugs. They
will seek these shelters in mid-after-
noon and remain dormant till it IS
warm in the merning, when they can
easily be gathered. Crushing the eggs
en- the leaves is preventive measure
that should not be neglected.
So far as my experience goes, the
best way to guard against the bug is
to plant the vines among potatoes. It
has rarely found them there have
grown good crops of squashes in this
way and found few or none of the in
sects, though in other places they
were numerous.

Women and Matrimony.

Those who keep a close watch ON
women's ways profess to see a de-
cided falling off in enthusiasm
among the fair sex concerning the
right and opportunity to cook and tie
increasing fields in which they may
md chance to earn money or gain a
livelihood. Women are beginning to
md out" says a close student of this
burning question, that work is work,
after all, and that competition grows
hercer all the time. Young women
who come from the country districts
with high hopes of independence and
ideals about living their own life I'M
trammeled by old traditions soon learn
that 1t is struggle harder than any
they might encounter at home. Then
their views change and they begin to
think much better of matrimony as a
vocation than they did before 1t will
be some time before this new feeling
Will have much weight in lessening
the present rush of women into all
avenues of labor, but there will be an
effort in time and the rush will SUBJ
side. The shadow of independence
rather than the substance is all that
many women gain, and this is bang

WHAT is A GOOD ROAD?
a Discussion by Edward K. Parkin-
son, and Comment by Editor
Country Gentleman.

The best roads that have ever been
built were those constructed by the
Romans ten or fifteen centuries ago,
and which are to-day almost perfect
examples of what roads should be-.
Their roads had width of 80 feet,
and pavements of heavy stone at the
bottom, and often one or more layers
of stone bedded in cement to make the
road waterproof. The two cuts show
the best types of ancient Roman
roads.
1t has been argued that such roads
would cost too much to build in these
days Of high wages. To be sure, the
initial cost would be enormously
greater, but the, final cost would, on
the other hand. be much less.
Some of the Roman roads are 1000
years old, and are still in fair con-
dition. I will say, for the sake of
argument, that modern macadam
road will last 20 years without hav-
ing to be extensively repaired; at the
end of that time, however, the road
will have to be practically reconstruct
ed, at least to the extent of half the
original cost. So new road will be

Even though the cyclone may gallop
along and remove few of the Kan

wind brings him enough of his neigh
bors' household goods on the low

keeping. And always, says the En-
poria Gazette, there is a chance to
slide into the 'fraid hole and let the
winds blow and the storms rage. But
an earthquake turns the 'fraid hole
wrong side out and shakes it's occu-
pants down on the under side of it.
Kansas is mighty safe place for a

Earthquake Little Known.

The world has not only wanted to
know all about the effects of the great
calamity at San Francisco but every
man of science who is even remotely
acquainted with the main facts of seis-
mology has been importuned to give
an explanation of those disturbances.
The public has learned at least, says
the Philadelphia Ledger, how little is
really known of the fundamental facts
as to the causes of earthquakes; 1t has
come to appreciate, as 1t perhaps never
did before, that seismology is in its
infancy, the careful and systematic
observation of earthquakes being less
than a quarter of century old and
the complete records having only
about half that period. This limited
knowledge is useful in that 1t will
lead to a discriminating judgment as
to what is and what is not scientifcal-
ly accurate or trustworthy in the mass
of material offered for the instruction
Of the people.

that it would be wise to introduce re-
forms from above if they must come,
and not wait till they permeated
through from below. So that schools,
books, papers, knowledge of the great
outside world began to be doled out In
infinitesimal quantities, perceptibly in
creasing in size each year until during
the last two or three years there have
been improvements out OF all proper
ton, it is true, to those of previous
years, but in no sense sufficient for
the proper education of the Russian
peasant. And the question-an in.
tensely serious one, too-now is:
Have these relaxations in the policy
of mind-darkness pursued by the au.
thorities during the past centuriea
come too late? That remains to be
seen.

CLASSICAL EXPOSITION.
Purely Artistic Display Is Proposed
for the Ancient City Of Rome
in 1911.

The suggestion has lately been made
that Rome join the list of cities that
organize great expositions for the at
traction of tourists, says the Architec.
tural Record. A sufficient excuse might
be found, it is pointed out, in the in
auguration of the colossal monument
to Victor Emanuel III. that has been
so many years in building; and then
the proposal, Of such Indifferent inter
est otherwise, is imbued with vitality
by the character suggested for the ex.
position. A writer in tire Nouva Anto-
logia argues that since Rome can
scarcely hope to excel in a commercial
exposition, this should be purely
artistic, and it's site should include
the Forum, the Colosseum, the Pala-
tine hill, the Circus Maximus, the
Baths of Caracalla, and as far as st.
Paurs Gate on the Ayentine. There
the galleries for ancient art should
rise, looking on the Tiber and the
Alban hills; and, sacred art should
find housing in the cloisters of the
churches of st. Saba, st. Alessio and
st. Sabina. He would have all the
structures in keeping with their classic
surroundings and of the highest artis-
tic impress. He suggests a monu-
/ mental portal to the Aventine, a
boulevard from the Arch of Constan-
tine and the Circus Maximus, and
another from the Circus to the Cata-
combs. The landscape gardening, If
rightly carried out, would forever
enhance the attraction Of the splendid
ruins. And only two things are
needed, he says, for success-a genius
and 4O,O00,00 francs. But what great
things, more permanent than an
exposition, might be done by money
and genius! IT, however, this cause
serves where others fail to bring them
into union, there will be a result we'll
worth, indeed, the seeing.

Anti-Dog League.

FORT OF these people to get together
and give force and direction to their
antipathy has just begun, having its
origin with Ambrose Bierce, the es-
sayist and satirist on the follies and
foibles of both CANNES and humans.
Mr.. Bierce. says the New York Press,
has all his lifetime been an enemy
OF the dog and has given a great deal
OF attention to projects for his re-
moval from the face of the earth. In
the prospectus of the Anti-Dog League
1t Is set forth that he is the only
one of our domestic animals whose
existence is due altogether to hered-
ity. he is an anachronism, a sur
vival. heritage OF shame. He is adj
dicted to more uncomfortable habits
than the number of hairs on his tail,
and in point of inutility he dominates
the situation like a brick ship in a
fishing fleet. True, he has enough in
telligence to fawn upon his master

OF the attention), but that is matter
OF thrift and signifies no superiority
to the courtier in his blindness. AS
to the creatures deeds of devotion and

TYPES OF OLD ROMAN ROAD.

built and paid for every 40 years.
Therefore in 1000 years, the age of
some of the Roman roads, we shall
have built and paid for 40 poor roads.
Evan granted that a mile of Roman
road could cost 40 times as much as
a mile of our macadam road, which
it doesn't, wouldn't the loss of money
from INSTRUCTED traffic and inconven:
fence be sufficient reason for building
roads that would last at least 100
years? The old excuse, that the con-
ditions are SO different and our eli
mate so hard on roads, does not seem
to have much weight.
The truth is, we build our roads in
such hurry, and oftentimes with so
little judgment on the part of the en-
gineers, that the wonder is, not that
they don't last long. but that they
last as long as they do.
Macadam, who was one of the best
modern road-builders, constructed his
roads on the idea that when any road
bed Is thoroughly underdrained, so as
to remain permanently hard, crushed
stone alone may be used, the pave
ment of Roman practice becoming un-
necessary. Please note-thoroughly
underdrained, and crushed stone may
be used. The point is, how many
macadam roadbeds are thoroughly un-
derdrained, SO that they remain per-
manently hard? feel safe in say.
ing not one in ten; In fact, the roads
built outside of cities and suburbs
are not, as rule, underdrained In
any way.
In France, which has perhaps the
finest roads in the world, the roads
are divided into sections, and one or
two men are put in charge of a Sec
ton to keep 1t In perfect repair
They are required to go over the
road every day, and in every section
there is a Toulouse, with a quantity
of stone ready for repair work al
ways on hand. The result is the cost
of maintenance is very low and the
roads last for years.
Edward X. Parkinson.
In commenting upon the above ar.
gument by Mr.. Parkinson, the editor
VI tuO Souhliy aChliCLudu Says
Mr.. Parkinson has preached a sub
ject that certainly deserves most
earnest consideration. If a macadam
road becomes rutted and Quilted the
first winter, 1t may be questioned
whether it is very much better in the
long run than the mud-bank it re-
placed-that is, 1t will shortly revert
to condition about as bad.
On the other hand, the weight of
expert opinion seems at present to
be against the attempt to build Ro-
man roads in this country. Not only
is the expense excessively great, but
such solidity Is unnecessary, with or.
binary care In draining. Thus Mr..
w. p. Judson, in his book on roads
and payements, says that the Roman
roads were remarkable for their
strength and durability, and for lit.
tie else. If anyone were SO unwise
as to attempt to build similar roads
now, the cost would be from four to
eight times the present cost of our
most expensive modern pavements
which are, In every way, better for
modern uses, and upon which the
cities of the United States are esti.
mated to have expended half a bill.
