While the farmers and others along
the valley of the Hudson river and in
parts of Connecticut, as well as in many
other sections of the country, are view
ing with CONSERVATION the predicted
appearance of the seventeen-year locust,
as the pest is popularity known, it will
comfort the people of Vermont to know
that there is little or no probability of
the insects appearance in this state
So tar as can be learned now, Vermont
is to be free from pests this season I'M
less the gypsy moth should be intro
duced along the border from Massa-
chusetts or the San Jose scale, which
has been discovered in Brattleboro,
should spread.
Prof. M. B. Cummings of the state
agricultural college says that as soon as
the weather permits he, with Commits
sioner of Agriculture O. L. Martin, will
make personal inspection of the trees
along the Massachusetts border to as
certain if the gypsy moth has entered
the state, and if it has they will imme-
dately take steps to stamp it out, says
the Burlington Free Press. The fear
expressed by the eXpertseis that it may
get into the state by the introduction
of nursery stock and buyers are urged
to inspect all shipments carefully.
The San Jose scale is nearly deadly
to an orchard, sucking the life out
of tree, and is hard to kill. A spray
is used for determination and Prof
Cummings has recently returned from
a trip to Brattle boro, where he in
spected the work. In bad cases the
trees are destroyed and if the owners
do not do so, the officials now have tn
authority from the state to do it them
selves. They now feel confident that a
spread of the scale can be prevented
A few years ago the pest appeared in
the vicinity of Burlington, but the in
fected shrubs were destroyed and the
insect has not been seen since.
The reason advanced for the probable
non-appearance of the locust is that it
has never bothered Vermont. 1t is an
insect that does not migrate to any ex-
tent, but repeatedly appears in the same
locality. The bug lives only six weeks
and during that time does not eat any
thing, but makes grooves in the twigs
in which it lays the eggs and then dies.
The reason for its appearance every II
years is that it takes II years for the
bug to mature. The eggs fall from the
twigs on the ground and burrow into it.
They remain there for the II years de-
veloping and living upon the juice of the
roots, before they make their ap-
pearance above ground.
The only means of killing it off is the
English sparrow, which appears to have
a great hatred for the bug and attacks
it whenever seen. In Brooklyn park,
where the bugs were very numerous,
the sparrows killed them off so that the
locusts did not make their appearance
for nearly so years.

money derived by the sale of valuable
pieces of real estate from time to time.

cINcINNATrs CASTLE.

President Taft and every ether Cincin-
natl man in Washington Will be interested
IN the recent addition 10 Cincinnatrs splen-
did park system" said Captain Cassidy
Cook, OF the Queen City. at the New VIII
lard The latest park extension takes in
an estate famous in Cincinnati history. II
is the old Bowler castle and grounds. over
looking the Mil Creek valley. The word
castle is used In describing the famous
Bowler home. 'as the original owner came
from England many years ago and built
his home after the style OF old English
castles near London.
The Bowler home became famous not
alone because Il was a replica or coun-
try place III England, but also because the
Prince OF Wales was entertained in the
Bowler home DURING his visit 10 Cincinnati
in 1859 IL was thought eminently fitting
for a future King OF England 10 be housed
IN a castle like those with which he was
familiar az home. Over afterwsrd the
Bowler estate was pointed cut TO visitors.
Later, when members OF the Bowler family
were In England, they met the prince and
he recalled the hospitality Of his hosts and
Cincinnati citizens. The original Bowler
came 20 this country 10 build the Kentucky
Central Railway. and az once became a
factor in the business and social life OF
the Ohio Valley His grandson. Robert b.
Bowler. was prominent in Democratic pol
ftics. and held a high appointive place here
IN Washington under President Cleveland. 3"

TRAFFIC IN FLEET STREET.

II has been customary for NUMBER oi
wars m take q census Of the traffic for
single day upon SOME principal Lonoo"
thoroughfares The same day OF the month
has been selected as nearly as possible from
wear TO year, so that the enumeration might
be made under approximately similar con-
ditions One street chosen for the census is
Fleet street. a very important thoroushiaFe
extending from one end OF the strand 70
I.udgate Circus II is a convenient ana o'-
rect route to the city proper, ana IS ira
yersed by several lines Of omnibuses. Inc
striking feature OF the census on Fleet
street land this would be true In greater UT
lesser measure OF all the other Lohoo"
Streets during the last FIVE years has been
the rapid displacement OF horse cra"h We
bicles. The traffic Of Fleet street was taken
for twelve hours, from a. m. 10 p m-'
on April 49, 1911. and compared to the same
period and day in 1877. on April ., lp''
41.s horse cabs and omnibuses passed
along Fleet street and only l.043 motor CABS
and motor Omnibuses, while on Apri ID
1911. there were 400 motor cabs and omni-
buses, against 4s6 horse cabs ana oHiH'-
buses. On the day that the census was
taken this year strike was threaIe"eu "
the taxlcab drivers. so that the NUMBER OF
hansoms In use was in all probability much
IN excess OF the daily average. on the lS'
census day there were only forty-eisnt
raxicabs. gainst 1902 horse cabs. but on
april u. 1911. the number OF horse caos vas
reduced 10 39l and the numOer oL 'eA'Oa0'
increased 10 ISIS. -,
The sixty-two motor vans passing on
Fleet street on April 10. 1911. was an m

in use on the corresponding day In 100 and
nearly 50 per cent over the NUMBER on sne J,

cause Of the great delay that IS now coca :
