Tho shield prevents the mice. borer' aud

about one foot. I, Is slightly enlarged ut
the bottom 90 as to conform TO the tree.
The top Of tho shield IL provided with an

Of the tree. The bands pass around the
tree and are fastened with ahook or button.
The under side OF the bonnet Is smeared
with tar. then a quantity Of cotton or i''
