THE COUNTRY 1HJSS.
It Hn Raised the Standard of Anil
culture In New York Stntc.
Albany. Hon. Calvin J. Huson,
state commissioner of agriculture,
paid high trlbuto to tho rural news
papers of the state In his address be
fore the Now York Press association
on " The Agriculture of New York."
"Agriculture would not have
reached Its present high level," said
Commissioner Huson, "were it not
for the rural press of the state. Tho
country newspaper has done and Is
doing very much for agriculture. It
has helped raise the standard of liv
ing in every farm home. It has
helped to give tho farmer confidence
in himself to place him on an equality
with men of other occupations. It
has helped to educate him.
"AVe no longer hear of city men
selling gold bricks to farmers, but
we may occasionally hear of a farm
er selling one to a city man.
"Farmers' Institutes cannot reach
all the people. They may be held in
every community in the state and
will then reach only a small pro
portion of the men and women fol
lowing agricultural pursuits.
"Bulletins may be issued in large
editions, but they are either unread
or their teachings ignored.
"Agricultural research and ex
perimentation are of little avail un
less results can be brought home to
the man on the farm in such form
that he can make practical use of
it.
"Some country newspaper finds its
way into every farm home in the
state, most of them carrying a page
or some space devoted to agricul
ture. "An agricultural truth read by the
farmer by his fireside in his favorite
local paper Is moro effective than
heard in lecture or read in bulletin.
"With tho continued co-operation
of the country press bringing home
to the individual farmer on the farm
tho message of a bettor agriculture,
tho standard of agriculture can bo
raised very high In the state of New (
York." 1
ROADS AND ItlVnitS.
Did you ever stop to think why
roads follow tho directions that they
do and why rnllroads for tho most
part are built along the ways we
travel so often? Now that this ques
tion Is brought to our minds we
must have visions of railroads along
rivers and through valleys, with the
mountains towering above, and be
sides we can remember ono or two
trips we have taken in a train or
carriage or motor up and over a
mountain. Why, then, can there be
any real reason for building roads in
any particular type of country when
we remember some over mountains
and somo through valleys? Primari
ly, roads are built to connect one Im
portant place with another. Then
the secondary question comes up
where shall wo build it, and the an
swer is: over that part of the coun
try which offers least resistance
which will give the least amount of
work and cost tho least amount of
money. So then the civil engineers
begin to look about and they say,
"Ah, here is a river let us run this
road along tho riverside, as it is flat
and even"; or, again, "Hero Is land
through which a river flowed in
years gone by. We will build here,
as the ground is more even than over
the mountains." And so it goes old
river beds, deserted long since by
their rivers, and old lake districts,
deserted long since by their lakes;

a. tual lakes and actual rivers, river'
valleys or ales formed by thoi
am lent upheaval of the land; all'
these invito the road builder. Yes ',
and old glacial ground-out sections
whore the ice has grated and scoop
ed out the land these sections are
used, too, In somo part.
But all this has been about roads
and railroads; how, then, are tho or
dinary footpaths made? If you stop
to think you will say, "Why, I
would walk along tho most level
ground and I would go in tho most
direct way to tho place." And that
is just how it is done! Often,
though, these paths laid out by no
engineers curve about too much, and
when cities and highways are built
tho engineers straighten out the
curves and level tho grades.
Wo can hear some bright reader
ask. "What about the mountain
roads and bridges over chasms?"
The answer to this is: Where there
are no natural roadways, and where
it is necessary to have roads, the en
gineers plan to build them, and
sometimes overcome what seems the
impossible! For example, the roads
built up mountains, such as Mount
Washington, Pike's Peak and some
of tho Swiss mountains. The roads
that serpentine around mountains
are built so as to make traveling
easier, or because a direct route
would involve greater difficulties and
expense.
Don't you think motor trips and
railroad Journeys will be more in
teresting now that we know just a
wee little bit about roads?

Air slaked llmo sprinkled on the

At this day and tlmo there are

THE 13 DOCTORING.
In an article on tho perils of tree
doctoring, the Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle cites the case of a
New Jersey farmer who put heroic
doses of concrete on an apple. tree
that was showing signs of decav.
When the farmer picked some of the
fruit tho other day, according to tne
Rochester exchange, he found the
apple so hard that he broke one of
his gold teeth in trying to bite it.
Now the man is convinced that the
concrete must have hardened the
fruit.
While this yarn will be received
for what it is worth by people of
ordinary intelligence, it may suggest
the thought that the tree-doctoring
fad is being carried too far. There
is a question whether or not this
plugging up of holes in tree trunks
with concrete is the proper thing for
the good of the tree. This practice
has not been indulged in to any
great extent until within a few
years, and of course it will take
some time to determine whether or
not it is beneficial. The system of
sawing off decaved nml nwih
limbs and coating the fresh cuts
un paint nas been followed by
good results in every instances when
a tree has been nrnnnrlv ti-immnj

But what is going to be the result

instances where it is applied to a
decayed spot on a tree. When paint

off the decayed portons of the trunk
and apply a new coat if the lirst has
not been effective. Not so when a
hole in tho tree has been filled with
concrete that cannot bo removed
without danger of injuring the tree.
ue v,ouia auvise fruit growers to
go slow on concrete. It does not
seem to be the proper material to
use on any growing tree or shrub.
Scranton Tribune-Republican.
Treatment of the Squash Bus.
About midsummer many Inquiries
come to the office of the State Zoolo
gist, Harrisburg, Pa., asking for in
formation on the methods of destroy
ing the insects commonly known as
the Stinking Squash bug. This is a
large very brown bug, provided with
a sharp beak and bores the plant,
but does not chew it. As it is a suck
ing insect it cannot be killed by in
ternal poison, which must be eaten
It is necessary to kill it by other
methods. Among these are the fol
lowing: 1. Watch for large blotches of
conspicuous brown eggs on the under
side of the leaves, and remove them
by hand.
2. Place small boards under the
squash plants, and raise them Just
far enough from the ground so the
bugs can tret umior thnm ,
Then brush them from such traps
, , uuu ou wnero tney win
bo killed at once.
3. 'Where the leaf is infested hold
a pan of water and keroseno oil un
der it and shake it. The pest will be
destroyed by falling into tho oil.
1. Plant a few early varieties of
squash upon which tho bugs will con
gregate, and then spray or drench
them with pure keroseno oil, killing
bugs, squash and oil, but thus get
ting rid of the pests.
5. After tho squashes, pumpkins,
etc., have been gathered this year
somo person should mako it his duty
to see that all bugs remaining upon
the lew green leaves or plants are
destroyed by oil, in order that they
do not havo an opportunity to find
winter retreats, and come safely
through the wiuter.
These insects pass tho winter in
rubbish of almost any kind that will
protect them. It is an easy thing to
destroy the last of them as they stay
on the bunches of leaves of the
squash and pumpkin.
C Destroy all rubbish In gardens,
thus destroying the hibernating
Places of the pests. It is important
to destroy such pests while they aro
few in numbers. If this is not done
they aro likely to increase year after
year until tho time will conio when
they will break out in uncontrollablo
destruction as they did in 1002.

The celluloid collar may have a
place in this world, but it isn't on a

There Is one class of fellers that
don't care much what happens to

It is more of a disgrace to have a

have any at all.
