When cold weather IS approaching
and the ant carries the aphids' eggs
and the young ants deeper into the
soil, the ant goes at least eight inches
under the soil and eight inches is
deeper than the ordinary plow fur
row.
The particular aphls that attacks
corn Is called the corn-root aphis be-
cause of its preference for that plant
In gardens it Is very common on as
tiers and related plants. There are
many other varieties OF aphis, how
ever, and for many of them ants have
tender feeling. For instance, there
are the aphids that attack orange
trees in California. The ants surround
these aphids, attack other insects that
attempt TO reach them, and induce the
aphids to excrete honeydew by strok-
Ing their bodies with their antennae,
or feelers. Unfortunately for the or
ange aphids, however. they are at
tackled by winged parasites which
sitting" and lay eggs in them. and these
parasites are so small and active that
the ants cannot successfully defend
their charges.
How TO Control Pests.
The corn-root aphids in fields Is con-
trolled by rotating with crops upon
which the aphids cannot live, by plow-
ing and disking, thus breaking up the
ant and aphis colonies. and by the use
of certain pungent substances, mixed
with a chemical fertilizer and distrib-
uted by means of a fertilizer attach
ment to the corn planter. These sub
stances tend to drive away the ants
and prevent them from placing aphids
on the corn roots
Aphids in Gardens.
The home gardeners whose plants
are attacked by aphids, such as the
melon aphis, spinach aphis, potato
aphis, and the turnip and cabbage
aphids, which live above ground, the
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture recommend
spraying with 40 per cent nicotine sui
phate at the rate of one teaspOOnful
of the sulphate to one gallon of wa
ter, in which has been dissolved one
ounce cube of laundry soap.
Killing the ants, of course, by de-
stroying their colonies Will help In
the control of the corn-root aphids in
gardens, and this is about the only
way 1t can be controlled, since, living
underground, 1t cannot be reached by
sprays. The simplest attack on the
ants Is TO scald their hills with boil
ing water. Another method is to
pour little carbon disulphid into the
entrance TO the hill and Immediately
cover the entrance with earth In order
keep the poisonous fumes In the fur
row.
Spraying with nicotine sulphate, how
ever, Is the standard remedy for most
garden aphids, and should not be post
poned or neglected when they are
found to be present, as they Increase
very rapidly and unless checked soon
kill the plants.

The treaty of Zurich, signed on No
vember 10. 1859, virtually created the
modern kingdom of Italy. 1t put an
end to the war which Sardinia and
France had been waging against Aus
trta, and so increased the size and
power of the kingdom Of Sardinia that
after further annexatiOns the year fol-
lowing, Victor Emanuel proclaimed
himself king of Italy and the kingdom
Of Sardinia vanished.
1t was q curious piece Of nomencla-
ture that of the "kingdOm of Sar-
DINA :" for while the house of Savoy
took its kingly title from an unconsid-
cred island, its domains lay In north
ern Italy and also comprised what Is
now the southeastern corner OF
France. Under the guidance Of Car
YOUR the king of Sardinia had become
the head and front o; the natiOnalistic
movement which was stirring all Italy
when he threw his troops into the
Crimean war and gained an ally In
France. When the Peace Of Paris
closed that war Carvour boldly told the
assembled delegates that Italy would
never cease to be hOtbed Of unrest
and revolution until the Austrians
were expelled. With this idea he had
filed the ear and mind of Napoleon
III, who timorously hesitated, posing
as the friend and champion of Sardin-
Ian aspirations but failing to act. At
last, on July 20, 1858, Carvour and the
emperor had a secret meeting at the
water-place of Plombieres, In the
vosges. 1t was agreed that at the
first favorable opportunity Frame
should attack Austria with an army OF
200 600, and Sardinia with an army of
half that number Peace was not to be
made until Austria was expelled from

At the signing Of the Convention of
Olnlutz, Austria appeared for the last
time as the wielder of the hegemony
of Germany; the convention marked
the last stage of Prussia's descent In
the scale of Germanic influence I'M
der Frederick William " and the be-
ginning OF the rise of that nation TO
the supreme Teutonic power.
After the Congress of Vienna in
1915 there had been constituted the
Germanic confederation to take the
place of the defunct Holy Roman en-
pire. Ii was a more or less .shadowy
affair, born in trouble and filled with
troubles TO the end of its days. In
This confederation Austria. backed by
the states of South Germany, had the
preponderance of power. The revolu-
tionary movement which swept Eu-
rope in 1913 shook all Germany. In
Berlin Frederick William was obliged
to make terms with the revolutionistS
and at one time the Austrian emperor
was driven from his capital only TO
be reinstated by force of arms. The
question of succession 70 the throne
of the duchies of Schleswig and Hol-
stein was in agitation and Prussia de-
clared war on Denmark. The Russian
car, who as representative of the ell
der branch of the former reigning
house of GOttorp, sovereigns of the
duchies, was personally interested,
and took a hand. Russia and Eng
land brought pressure TO bear and a
truce was arranged between Denmark
and Prussia while a conference met In
October, 1913. at London, to settle the
dispute Denmark demanded that
both duchies should be "indiSSolubly
connected" with the Danish crown.
Prussia refused to agree and on April
3, 1S49, the war was renewed.
Prussia Desired Peace.
But. harassed by the actions of the
confederated council at Frankfort.
Prussia desired peace, soon opened
direct negotiations with Denmark and
another truce was proclaimed on July
TO- The rest of Germany, led by Aus
tria, declared this Independent action
of Prussia a betrayal of the confed-
Grafton which claimed the duchies as
"reichland." The car said that the
right of the king of Denmark to the
duchies must be recognized; the Hol-
steiners- Holstein was preponderating-
ly German-were rebels and If Den
mark could not restore order in that
duchy he could. Napoleon III alone
supported Prussia and, talking of
"the principle of nationalities." which

Be Bought and Maintained at
Small Expense.

For the average farmer whose or
chnrd Is small and of minor impor-
lance in his farm production. the ordi-
nary hand pump barrel sprayer is the
most desirable. 1t can be bought and
maintained at comparatively small
cost, while the initial cost of the large
power sprayer is so great as to make
the owner OF the small orchard hest
tate about Its purchase. In some cases
q neighbor or one who makes a bust
ness of doing custom spraying may
be engaged to do the work with the
power sprayer which he owns. But
even under such conditions. 1t often
happens that one Is unable to get the
work done just at the right time.

considerable interest is being mani
tested In Spain In two great railway
projects. The first, already voted as a
bill by the Spanish senate. Is for a
direct line from OAK, In southern
France, to Algeciras, near Gibraltar.
This line is a project Of the English
and French governments, and will

London to the Cape, the completion
of which Is now only q matter of time

traction. and will take the shortest
possible route.
MANY schemes have been prepared.
but although the final decision has not
yet been made on many points of de-
tail. the broad principles have been
agreed upon. The northern section of
the line, from OAK to Madrid, to avoid
unnecessary competition with the
Norte railway from Irun, will not
touch the points of junction from
which that line draws its chief goods
traffic. but will pass direct through
PampIona and Soriac. The southern
section, in the plan which seems most
likely to be approved. Will for similar
reasons take straight course through
