The first thing to be considered is the care of young trees already planted N
 Domestic Animals, if allowed access to young orchard, will do much damage Have fences and gates in good repair to keep out all intruders
 Mice-A mound of earth foot high should have been formed at the base of each young tree; if this was not done, see that there is no litter near the tree to af ford them shelter. After snow fall, tramp the snow down solid around each tree, whether it has mound of earth or not. This is some trouble, but if you plant tree it implies contract to take care of it Those having little trouble with their trees are seldom bothered with fruit.
 Rabbits arc often worse than mice, The old notion that rabbits would not touch tree that had been rubbed with the flesh of one their fellows has its foun- dation in the fact that the animals have an aversion to blood The blood of pigs or any other animal sprinkled on the lower part of the tree, will answer as well as rabbits blood Cloth or stiff packing paper wrapped around near the ground and as high up as a rabbit will reach will keepthem off this is slow work where there are many trees.
 What to Plant, if new orchard is to be set in spring, is worthy of serious eonsid eration. Many think that they have only to determine what are the best varieties and order them The real question is. What are the best varieties you can grow? Get the experience of neighbors who grow fruit, or of the nearest intelligent and reliable nurseryTan. If about to plant for meret, recolleet that proaaotivness, regularity in bearing, showiness of fruit, and an ability to bear transportation, are all of as much more importance than qual- ity. Do not be taken with the highly colored pictures shown by travelling sales men
 Insects Look over the trees, and if there appears to be a swelling just below the end of twg, there will probably be found cluster of the eggs of the tent caterpillar securely glued around it. Cut
 
 off and burn every one of these that caI i be found and there will be few nests to destroy next spring. Pruning, - Winter pruning, except on young trees and nursery stock to bring them into shape, is not generally approve ed. Still it is better to remove the useless and crowded limbs of an old tree at this season than to neglect it altogether Make clean cut and cover it with mel ted grating wax.
 Root Grating is done at any time dur ing the winter, the stock and cions having been stored in an accessible place. np grating at the "eollag' of the steek Bits of roots should not be used

Pruning Fn vyEnter.

Some farmers seem afraid toprune ihelr fruit trees in winter lest the frost should enter by the wounds and damage the trees They nco3 not fear any danger from this cause, as the frost enters into every part of the trees and thaws out again Large limbs cut off in winter or at any other season give considerable check to the vigor the tree for the ensuing season. but if the wound is oeatcd!with gum shell lac dissolved in..alcohol no.danger will re- suit. Ifpruning has been neglected last spring and fall, it is better to perform the work now than to run the chance of hay ing it adjourned again sinodic mex spring. It is better to prune gradually, bringing the head into proper shape and letting in the sunshine among the branches, than to allow the trees to form thick head and then to cut away large branches.
 Suckers arc very injurious to apple trees is they absorb the ingredients which are required for building up the stems, bran ches, foliage and fruit. They should be grub5el up; merely-cuttins them down level with the soil will do more harm than good as they will grow up again stronger than ever. Some farmers say they leave oa the suckers to keep rabbits from bark ing the trunks, but this is only q weak excuse for carelassness and neglect, ,- Western Rural,

Size of tg,n stars.

How Large are the stars, and arc they alike, or do they differ in siacy It used to be conjectured that they are of sosno- what similar magnitude, presumable about as great as our sun, and that the diiierance O, apparent size are due to differences oi distance; bat when astronomers came to discover that some Of the smaller stars arc nearest o-.our system, this idea fell to tue ground. A German compuor has now, however, calculated the actual dimensions ofone particular star, and finds that its mass Is rather more than three times that of the sun, The star in question is less than the fourth masnitude--a compara- lively small one. What, then. must be the size of the Sirius and Aldebaran class? The reason of its selection for this deter imitation was, that it is one of the com ponents of what is clllod a binary sys- tem two stars revolving about each other like the sun and planet and the motions of the members of such system afford data for the eon.putation.
