TEDDY'S PACE TOO
MUCH FOR NATIVES

New York, May 3.-Anthony Fiala,
the explorer who was in charge of one
of the Roosevelt expeditions in Brazil,
arrived in New York today on the
steamer Denis, from Rio Janeiro. He
vividedly described the experiences of
the expedition, both before and after
he separated from Colonel Roosevelt
and Kermit on February 4. Telling of
his 400-mile journey across the
try with Roosevelt. Fiala said:
AT times we were all forced to dis
mount from our horses and cut our way
with knives through the dense under
growth. When we reached Matte
Crosse we rested for a couple of days
and then all went hunting. In one
party. which went for tiger cats. were
chief of police, a Brazilian colonel n
several natives. Kermit, I believe, is
made Of coiled wire all bound up in
bronze. He's tougher than his father,
If such a thing is possible. The party
started out early in the morning and
pushed their way all day through
swamps filled with crocodiles and
snakes in pursuit OF a tiger cat they
had scared up.
Wore Out Natives.
"The Brazilians did the best they
could with the negro boys, kept up for
several hours. But the pace set by the
colonel. even in their own jungle, was
too much for them. Late at night, a
boy returned to the camp INT said that
the colonel and Kermit were about two
miles off in the jungle. When they
finally came out their clothing was
torn to shreds and their arms and legs
were bleeding in many places. But
they were carrying the Brazilians' guns
and shoes. The Brazilians had quit
and were lying on their backs in a dry
place recuperating. The tiger cat got
away.
'The principal difficulty every one
in the party experienced was with the
food. I lost over 20 pounds in three
weeks. I believe Colonel Roosevelt lost
some. too. I never want to see another
bean. Colonel Roosevelt. however. ate
many of them and did not seem to
mind.
The great hazard In South Ameri-
car exploration is the rapids and fails
in the rivers. On the Papagaio river,
after / had left the colonel. I had with
me six canoes. At the Rapids of the
Devil we were simply sucked under.
Everything and everybody went over
board. The natives. stark naked.
reached the shore with some difficulty.
I had been, making ; map Of the river
and had q board strapped to my wrist.
That hindered me some and I went
down several times. Finally I grabbed
. limb and reached shore. later
learned that Colonel Roosevelt had also
lost some OF hiS .cannes"

BIG ANNUAL LOSS FROM
RAVAGES OF BOT FLIES

Brookings. S. d., May 2.-Nearlv
$5o, 600, 900 damage to hides and beef is
our annual toll to bot flies of cattle,
according to H. G. Severin, professor
OF entomology at the South Dakota
state college. He says:
The grubs weaken the cattle. cause
them to fall off in flesh and milk, and
decrease the value of the hide. The
beef in the immediate vicinity OF the
grub becomes moist and of a greenish
yellow color,-and is consequently
known as licked beef
Now is the time to examine the
cattle for bot flies. also known as heel
flies and OK MARBLES. In late winter or
early spring. pass the han over the
backs of the stock. observing the Local
ton of MARBLES by swellings. BY ex-
erting pressure on these. the grubs may
be forced out of the skin en~tirely-or
partially-and in the latter case they
may be removed by tweezers. The
grubs may also be killed by forcing
oil or grease into the opening of the
skin, but this is less certain than re-
moving the bots. n has the further
objection that the dead larvae remain
beneath the skin.

Gardening on a Small Scale

ensure proper growth. When pre-
paration is completed, dig out a
trench six inches deep and four
inches wide and set plant in the bot
tom. Cover the plants with three
inches of soil, and as plants grow
| fill in with soil until surface level
is reached. Keep well hoed through
the summer. In the fall cut off old
stalks and burn.
Cutting is commenced the third
year after planting and may be kept
up until the end of June, but not
later.
Beans-Beans require rich,
warm, loose soil. This can be ac-
complished by digging and working
thoroughly before planting. With
the exception of the Broad Windsor,
beans should not be sown until all
danger of frost is over. Broad beans
should be sown early in the spring,
as they require long, cool season.
Beets-For the early crop the seed
may be sown as soon as the ground
can be prepared in the spring. For
the winter crop the seed may be
sown about June 1st. A rich soil and
constant cultivation are necessary to
produce quality. On a new piece of
soil light dressing of slaked lime
well worked into the soil before
planting will be found to be bene-
ficial.
Broccoli-Closely resemble cauli-
flower, although the heads are small
er and the plant is much harder.
1t is a coolweather crop and really
makes the best growth during the

the same as early and late cabbage.
When the heads are about the size
of a teacup, the leaves should be
tied together at the top or broken
over so as to shade the flower; this
ensures good white flower.
Celery-The chief requirements
for celery are plenty of moisture and
an abundant supply Of plant-food.
Barnyard manure is the best ferti-
lizer and heavy applications should
be made.
The seed for early celery should
be started in shallow boxes any time
about the middle of March. When
about three inches high. transplant
to boxes similar to those in which
the plants were grown. Here they
are set three inches apart each way
and remain until they are set in the
garden row. For late celery the seed
may be sown in bed made in one
corner of the garden. The seed is
sown thinly, covered lightly. and the
plants grow here until set in the gar
den row.
When setting plants in the gar
den row the double row system will
prove the most satisfactory. Here
the plants are planted five inches
apart and the two rows six inches
apart. If second row is planted, it
should be at least four feet from
the first double row. In planting, do
not dig out a trench, but plant on
the level, and in order to blanch
the celery in the fall, heap the earth
up around it,
When storing, dig with roots on;
stand upright in. earth in cellar or
pit. Place two rows together, with
a few inches between the double
rows

fall. Heads are blanched in the same
way as cauliflower. Recommended
as winter crop for Vancouver
Island. Sowing may be made at the
same time as cabbages.
Cabbage-For early cabbage a
well-drained piece of soil is desir-
able, while late cabbage will do bet
ter on cooler and heavier soil.
Thorough working of the soil in the
spring as we'll as in the fall is ad-
visable.
For early cabbage the seed may
be sown in the hotbed from Febru-
airy 1st to March 1st. Transplant the
seedlings about three weeks later
into a coldframe in order to harden
them off. About three weeks later
transplant to the garden. Early cab
bage may also be started by sowing
the seeds in rows about six inches
apart in the garden about the end of
July, and transplanting to perma
nent rows in the garden about Sep
tember 1st. Here they are allowed
to pass the winter and will be in sat
isfactory shape to start growth in
the spring. Early plants for spring
planting may also be secured by
planting seed about the middle of
August and leaving in the seeding
rows through the winter. Late cab
bage seed is usually sown about the
end of April and the plants set in
the field about June 1st. Constant
should be given as cab
bage requires lots of moisture.
Cauliflower-Any soil that will
grow good cabbage will do for cauli-
flower. Continuous growth is impor-
tant, as any check to growth will
give a product poor in quality. The
early and late varieties are started

GOOD
ROADS
PAVED STREETS IN 1000 B. c.
Babylon, Carthage and Other Ancient
Cities Took Much interest In
Building Good Roads.

When or where the FIRST road was
built Is not known. Herodotus speaks
Of great Egyptian road on which
King Cheops employed 100000 men
for ten years. According to the his
torian. this road was built Of mass
i've stone blocks ten feet deep, and
lined on both sides with temples. maui
soleums, porticos and statues. The
streets Of Babylon are said to have
been paved as early as 800 B. c..
and several well surfaced roads radi-
Rted to neighboring cities. Carthage,
before its fall. was the center OF a
highly developed road system. The
ancient Peruvians had wonderful
system of national roads connecting
/. all the principal parts Of their en-
pire.
Bridges were also built by the an
clients at very early date. The Eu-
pirates, at Bebylon. was crossed by
stone bridge prior to 1000 B. c.. and
1t Is known that the Chinese built
bridges as public works as early as
$500 B. c. says the Good Roads Year
Book.
The first definite and fully authen-
tic information concerning the system
attic construction and maintenance
Of permanent roads comes to u
from the Romans. It Is generally
understood that the Romans learned
the art of road building from the
Carthagenians. However, the con-
struction of their great road was as
perfect as that OF any Of their later
ones.
The first Of the great Roman roads
was from Rome to Capua. a distance
Of 142 Italian miles. and was begun by
Appius Claudius, about BIZ b. =.
1t was known as the Appian Way
or Queen Of Roads" This road was
later extended to Brundisium. a'sotai
of $50 miles, and was probably com
pleted by Julius Caesar. About 22O
B. C. the Flaminian Way was built.
1t crossed the Mar river on stone
bridge which had a central span OF
$50 feet with a rise of 100 feet. When
Rome reached the height OF her glory,
under the reign of Augustus, no less
than 20 great military roads radiated
from the city. These roads extended
to every part Of the vast empire. and
are estimated to have a total length
of $4,000 miles.
The Roman construction was In
general extremely massive. The Ap
plan Way is said to have been in good
repair 800 years after 1t was 0ul.t
On carefully prepared sub sfade
were placed four successive courses
of layers, the rodus or second course
the nucleus or third course and tLt
pavimentum or wearing surface. The
top and bottom courses consisted II
--o-n-o, of large fat stones, while the
