IDEAL WOMEN OF THE PAST
Live in History as the Inspiration of
Men Who Led the World in
Art and Learning.

All inspiration comes from woman. p
In these words CastigliOne sums up
medieval ideas and theories on the
subject. Hers it is to inspire man with
hope and courage on the battlefield
and in the council chamber, in the pur-
suit of art and learning, in the higher
paths Of virtue and religion, to point
the way upward and lift hearts from
earth to heaven.
So it was that the boy Raphael grew
up in the enchanted air Of Urbino IN
der the fostering care Of the good
duchess; so Isabella d'Este heard
young Ariosto recite the first cantos
Of his great poem, or gave Mantegna
and Costa themes for their pictures
in the studio Of the grim old CASTILLO
that looks down on the Mantuan lakes
and the windings Of "smooth-sliding
Mincius."
So Veronica Gambara smiled on the
early efforts of the painter Correg-
gio, and Vittoria Colonna soothed the
loneliness OF Michelangelo's weary
old age.
By their delicate culture and refined
taste these noble women brought art
into close touch with life.
By their gracious and kindly sym
pathy they cheered the artist souls
that were struggling toward the light,
and helped to produce immortal works
Will posterity say as much for the
women Of our own age?-E1change.

nothing can be done by the farmer to lessen
the devastations of the Hessian fly to this years
crop, but it is nearly time to commence the fight
against the fly to reduce the toll which 1t will
assuredly take In 1915, If the fly is allowed to
lay its eggs by millions on early sown wheat or
volunteer wheat this fall Millions Of win

which the Hessian fly is now working SO much
damage.
In order to understand the situation fully. it is
necessary to know what the fly is like, how it is
capable of causing such enormous losses, and
how it transforms from the egg to the fully de-
veloped insect Comparatively few farmers
able to recognize this pest, except in what is
known the 'faxseed" stage, which, even then,
is often mistaken for the egg.
There are two generations of the Hessian ny
each year, in the fall and one in the follow
ing spring. the latter being the children of the
former. Therefore, if there flies to lay
eggs in the fall. it stands to reason that there
could be none to lay eggs in spring.
In the course OF its development the insect
passes through four different stages. The adult
is a small longlegged dark-coored fly very
much resembling small mosquito. The egg is
very small long, slender. and of shining, red
dish color. and is placed by the female fly in
the grooves on the upper surface OF the wheat
leaves both in spring and fall. The maggot
matches from the egg, makes its way down the
leaf and wedges itself between the leaf sheath
and the stalk of the plant where in some cases
a dozen more may be found partly overlap
ping one another. When it becomes fun grown
its skin hardens changing to brown, and from its
form and color it is then commonly known
the "faxseed" which is the pupal or resting stage
of the insect.
Beginning about April 1. flies emerge from the
''faxseed" that have passed the winter in the
fall wheat, whether early volunteer.
These flies deposit their eggs the leaves of
the unnfested plants, the eggs hatch into mag
COTS in from four to eight days, and the mag
gots become grown in about twenty to thirty
days and then change to "faxseed." This
stitutes the spring generation. After harvest the
'faxseeds" of this generation be found IN
the stubble just above the ground, or often
higher up where the straw has broken over
While as stated the Hessian fly energies from
the "faxseed" stage throughout extended
period of time within the entire of it's distrf
button in any given locality this emergence of
the adults in destructive abundance occupies but
a few days The life of the female after she
makes her way forth from the "faxseed" prob
ably does not extend beyond period Of five or
six days. Thus it is that delay IN wheat SOW
ing in the fall until after the flies have appeared
and largely disappeared becomes of such vital
Importance.
The first flies of the second fall generation
begin to issue from the "haxseeds" about the
middle OF August and continue to issue till about
