From tie Western Rural. Dee. -
The frost has laid an embargo on the
cultivation Of the soil, but something may
still be done 10 protect fruit trees from
damage from stock, rabbits, mice, etc.
Il is well TO encourage the growth Of
low branches, as they shade the trunks from
the rays Of the sun, and also prevent the
growth OF suckers. If stock are allowed to
browse in orchards they will destroy all the
branches within reach.
In former numbers Of the Western Rural
we have described various methods Of pro-
tecting trees from the attacks Of rabbits and
mice. The most eflectual preventive Of their
inrOads is their cxtirpation from the or
cbard and lis vicinity.
Arrangements should be made for re
moving surface water from around the
trees, where it sometimes collects during
thaws, and by freezing on the return OF
frost, causes serious injury to the roots.
Surface drains should be made in all parts
Of the orchard where it is possible for water
10 lodge. Trees that have been transplant
i ed lately require TO be examined and
Strengthened, If they have been bent by the
wind. A mulch Of short manure viii be a
great protection 10 the roots in winter and
a promoter Of their growth in summer
Long manure should not be used, as II en-
c5urages mice about the trees.
In orchards where the canker worm has
made its appearance, precautions should be
taken to arrest its progress. The sol
around the roots of the trees should bC
turned up in open weather, in order to ex
pose the pupe, and some Of the best Of The
tree-protectors should be applied to th'
/ trunks

INC Fruit Garden.

A mulch Of short manure will be very
beneficial 20 the fruit trees, bushes and pc
rennial plants in the fruit garden. If the
soil from which crops have been removed
has been falloWed, it will be much improved.
il it has not been dug, it had better not be
stirred until spring. 1t cannot be titled
during frost, and in open weather in winter
il is not sufficiently dry 10 admit Of fallow-
ing.
In gardens where the gooseberry and
currant caterpillars, and the pear and rose
slugs are troublesome, the soil around the
stems of the trees or bushes should be re-
moved during open weather and spread
thinly over the surface at a considerable
distance from the place from which il has
been excavated. By this means the chrysa-
lides Of these pests will be exposed 10 frost
/ and DESTROYED. The hollows that have been
made by removing the soil should be filed
with rich compost.
Grape vines that have not been pruned,
laid down and covered, should be attended
10 as soon as possible. II is not easy to
manage them when they are frozen, as they
are very easily broken tits better to wait
/ till thaw comes and then to lay them
down, although delays are dangerous
Strawberries that have not been covered
should he attended to and receive some pro-
lection from the alternate freezings and
thawings which are so injurious TO them.
/ ANY light substance that will not smother
/ the plants bat merely keep them from ex-
posure 10 the sun, will make suitable cover
ing. Those which have been transplanted
last fall require special care.

NnrIenIar Dl.ease in Hor.e..

Navicular disease is Of frequent occur
ence among fast horses, especially those
employed on the paved streets Of large
towns. The disease is situated at the pos
terror part Of the foot, and is caused by the
excessive friction Of the tendon against the
navicular bone. II is sometimes caused by
the horse putting his foot on a stone in gal
Looping or trotting, and thus bruising the
nsvicular joint. The foot becomes very
tender, and the horse cannot even bear TO
rest his weight on it, and he consequently
places the foot in front Of him, resting il on
the toe. The foot gradually alters in shape,
becoming narrower than il was when in a
state Of health, and this especially is the
case in those horses in whom the disease
makes its appearance gradually. When
the horse moves he goes more upon the toe
Of the foot than when that organ is sound,
and she shoe, consequently, soon becomes
thin at the toe. On starting, the horse
SHOWS considerable lameness, which gradu-
ally diminishes as the horse gets warm.
Treatment-The soles should be pared
thin, and the horse allowed to stand on wet
clay or we. saW-dust, so that the feet may
recover their natural sensibility and tenn
perature. The horse should afterwards be
turned ont without shoes. BY the above
means, the natural form and function of
the affected foot OF feet viii frequently be
restored.
In this malady it occasionally happens
that the horse continues lan,e, notwith-
standing that the most careful and iudicious
treatment has been carried out. In such
cases the operation Of neurotomy may be
performed. This does not check the dis
ease, but il renders the horse insensible TO
the pain Of the disease, and consequently
frees him from lameness.

Fseding sEiIeh Cows.

We do not, as a general rule, feed liber-
ally enough. We do not use a sufficient
variety Of food for COWS in milk, nor Is the
quantity anything like what might be fed
TO advantage, either is summer or winter.
Many farmers seem to act as il they thought
the food consumed were 80 much loss, SO
much to be added to the cost Of keeping.
rather than 30 much raw material used in
the manufacture Of milk II they owned
a mill they would feed into it all the grain
it would grind, try tokeep il running at full
speed, and furnishing the largest amount Of
its products Of which il were capable, tax
ing into account, Of course, the wear and
tear Of the machinery. They would try to
get the largest yield consistent with econo-
my and good management. The same rule
ought to be adopted in feeding cows In
stead OF being content with a small, or even
an ordinary yield, we should feed 50 as to
get all we can consistently with a proper
regard to the health and protracted useful
ness Of the animal. They have, carried
this matter Of feeding to a far higher state
Of perfection in Europe than we have in
this country. II may almost be said to be
reduced TO a science, so minute and careful
have many Of the experiments and systems
of feeding become.

Pn.,nrinr Horse. ln winner.

Every horse turned ont for winter
grazing, should have a shed well protected
from the north, west and east, and well lit
tered with straw, 20 which he can resort
whenever he desires rest or protection from
the cold and wet. If no shed be provided,
then the horse should be taken into the
stable every night. All horses are not
benefited by a run at winter pasture; some
on account Of their thin skin and delicate
constitutions, rendering exposure TO cold
productive OF coughs and other complaints,
while others are prepared with long and
thick coat Of hair, that protects them
against cold but not wet and therefore are
not 30 readily affected by extreme changes
Of weather Winter pasture is best for
horses where their legs are 10 be improved,
while spring and summer pasture is best
for the renovation of general health. The
harrenness Of pasture in winter keeps the
carcass light, and the GOODNESS Of the at
mosphere fines and improves the legs.
Horses that have become "gaunted up,
as the phrase is, or that have little appetite,
are really benefited by winter pasture, as
she grass at that season, although capable
Of supporting life, has no laxative or medi-
caiive qualities 10 change the action Of the
system. Such horses should be kept in
warm stables, and fed with roots and cut
feed. Others, again, that have become
stihened in their joints, or subjectto swollen
legs, are Oitentimes almost entirely recov-
cred by a winters run at pasture, whed
good sheds or stabling are provided for
them against the night air and storms

Perennial vegetables, such as asparagus,
rhubarb, sea-kale, etc, should have good
dressing Of manure to protect them and en-
rich the sol in which they grow. Aspara-
gus can scarcely receive too heavy a cover
ing, but rhubarb is liable TO injury if the
crowns Of the plants are deeply covered.
Celery, cabbage, carrots, turnips, etc,
that have been slightly covered viii now
require additional protection. These vege-
tables frequently receive damage from being
covered too heavily when they are just
after being taken up. They require to be
seasoned by gradual coverings before they
are put up for the winter.
Stable manure for hot beds should be laid
by from time to time to be used In Februa-
~. Hot-bed sashes and frames should be
put into repair and everything that can be
done to Tighten the work in spring, ought
to be performed whenever an opportunity
Is Afforded.
