said to take a most lively interest in her
husbands political fortunes. In addition
to influencing him to cut down his drink

To PRorEcr Trees FROM MIcE.- On
taking up the ''EIomcstead' Of this week.
my attention was drawn to an article or
this subject. If You please to add the
writer's long experience of a cheap and an
effectual protection, it is at your service
Every observer will notice mice never Cir
die trees where the soil is bare, where they
have nothing for nests, or for shelter
Therefore, you have only, before the fal
ling Of snow, with a hoe, to scrape from
the tree, about eighteen inches in circum.
ference, all the grass and leaves, as a sane
safeguard against their ravages.
NorE.-To bank up a small mound o
earth six or eight inches high about the
trees, before freezing up, is a still better
protection, besides giving the tree a yalua-
BILE support against the winter winds. The
mound should lie removed early in the
Spring. Wisconsin Far,ner.
