Trees GirdIed by Mice.

d. B. Wier of Lacon, H., writes as
follows to the Western Farmer:
Every winter and spring we see num-
erous inquiries in the Horticultural
press of the country, inquiring How to
prevent trees being girdled by mice p
and "How to save them after they are
girdled? ?"
10 the first question the editors usual
iy give the stereotyped answer: "Clear
the litter away from the stem Of the
tree and make smooth mound of earth
around it; and as an answer to the
second: Prepare and insert scions be-
meath the bark above and below the
wound so as to form new connection"
Now for my practice Il call it mine
Tor the reason that / never heard of it
until put it in practice. Look over
your trees the first thawing day after
each snow, and if any trees are found
glrdled or injured, proceed at once to
bank snow around the tree. tramping it
down hard, if the ground is frozen il
not, bank soil around it, say six inches
above the highest point injured. If it
is frozen; use snow and replace it with
soil as soon as possible--if you can, be-
fore the snow has melted so as to expose
the wounds. I'D
= lon need pay no more attention TO the
tree until from the first to the middle of
the September following, leaving the
mound intact until that time. The
mound should he taken away then. and
the wounds will be found to be entirely
rebarked over.
80 confident am / that this remedy is
perfect. that | would be perfectly willing
and happy to have an army of mice take
all the bark from my orchard of 10000
trees both old and young, within their
reach. standing fiat footed on the ground
for the small sum of 10 cents per treel
Rabbits sometimes injure trees so high
upon the trunks as to be inconyenient
to earth up above the wound. An an.
plication of shellac varnish applied to
1t and that covered with cloth bandace
will prevent all injury.

Keeping House in New Yc~

| II is an old saying that all is not gold
that glitters, aud the history of the New
/ YORK Fifth avenue, will prove that the
| golden hue of luxury is generally little
more than "a deceptive show. If you
| live in this fashionable spot you must
pay either $4,000 for ahome (ps haps
/ 100000, or you must give an equiva-
lent rent Think Of IS. 00c rent to begin
with, cannot furnish this house at "a
less expense than 81 900, and if pictures
and statuarysbe introduced, you may
treble that figure. Tothis is to be added
your carriage and span of matched hors-
es, worth $4,000 at least. Then look over
your payroll of servants. Here is the
coachman, who, with his family, lives in
a finished room over your stable. He
must have $500 per year, and will have
it, even if he is obliged to rob the oat
bin in order to meet deficiency Next
is the footman who on public drives 10
perched on the rear of the carriage and
wears the same uniform as the driver.
He must have $50 per month and board.
Add to these the cook at SIG per month,
chambermaid at $40 per month, and
nurse (for the children must not be neg
lected) at Sl2 per month. The house
keeper caps the list, for II fashionable
lady would as soon take care Of her
or do any other unbecoming
work as to attend to housekeeping duties,
and no housekeeper can be got for les
than $50 per month. | have only put
down half dozen servants, which is a
moderate number; but when we consid-
er that each of these may be thief, it
is as many as you really need, and if you
can meet the expenses and peculation
which your establishment involves, you
must have an income ofs25,0 900 at least

ling by weight. 20
er occasion we advocated
weight ofsnearly, every ar
RS prodr and we have
rgunlents Sufficiently strong
70 co Tat our views len repre-
sente' i correct The fact is,
selline weight Is the only fair way of
I, leading, and shepxondsris that Congress
has not long since taken the subject in
/. hand and passed i law compelling it.
Those who have been ia thehabit of buy
ing fosasoss. apples, h.rnips, or in fact
any vegetables or fruits that are sold by
measure, cannot-fail to have noticed how
frequently q skilful measurcr will defraud
them out Of large portion oftheir hon
est dues. Were these articles sold by
weight,.such frauds could not be practis-
ed, unless the scales were not properly
balanced. A pound is pound, and
nothing more or less, but a peck of pota-
Toes or apples represents nothing definite.
BY the measurement of one individual
who understands the art of making the
fewest apples or potatoes fill the vessel,
the weight will be much smaller than
the filling of the same measure, by one
less expert or more honest 1t can be
safely asserted that the difference on the
average, will not vary much from TWEEN
ty-fve per cent, Now if these articles
were sold by weight, there could be no
such departure from accuracy, and, if
farmers were compelled to sell, as well
as bay, by weight, they would in theend
be none the losers. This, we believe,
they are nearly all ready to admit, and
would cheerfully comply with the terms
Of a lawmaking it obligatory upon them.
The opposition would come from the
middle-men or hucksters, who buying at
wholesale, dispose Of their purchases in
smaller quantities. Hence the sufferers
are mainly the consumers, and of these,
persons in humble means form no incon- !
siderable part. Justice to this class, and
in fact to all classes, demands that the
measure system be abolished, and that
of weight substituted, and if some Of
our prominent members of Congress
would forget for brief season their de-
sire to distinguish themselves in politics,
and devote some time to the perfecting
of law, compelling all sales of solids to
be made by weight, they would entitle
themselves to the gratitude and respect
OF the whole country. Journal Of the

The most experienced fnanciers agree that First

are one of the very safest forms of investment.
Parties desiring to secure first class security
based upon a railroad practically done, and in the

well to apply at the Office OF the Company, or any
of its advertised agents, for a pamphlet and map,

Holders of Government Bonds may exchange
them for Central Iowas at large present profit,
beside Il handsome increase of interest for a long

In 1918, Meyer Anselm Rothschild died
leaving to the mighty fortune, of which
his wisdom had laid the foundation, ter
children-five sons and five daughters
placing upon them the injunction, with
his last breath, of an inviolable union.
This Is one offhe grand principles to which
the success of the family may be traced.
The command was kept by sons and daugh-
tiers with religious fidelity. Sisters mar
ried with unanimous consent of the mother
and all the children. Brothers remained
in copartnership. Their places of resi-
dence, by mutual agreement, became far
asunder- Anselm domicilating himself in
Frankfort; Solomon, in Vienna; Charles,
in Naples; James, in Paris; and Nathan,
in London; but their union remained in
dissoluble. Before 1920 the house had be-
come ubiquitous. Like a network, it had
spread itself over Europe, and its opera
tions were felt tremblingly in all the great
loans contracted by nations. In days an
terror to electric telegraph and rail their
couriers travelled from brother to brother.
They conveyed the earliest news. Mails
were out-stripped; government expresses
were left behind; relays were ready at
every post commercial dispatches, sub
vented by public companies, as well as
private enterprise, failed in successful
competition with the Hebrew firm. Nathan
Rothschild received in London news of
the result of Waterloo five hours before it
was announced on Change and made
E200, 900 in consequence. During the
great revolt in India, Hayelock's success,
which changed consols from 81 to SO. was
known at the counting-room in Lombard
Street full day before it reached the
Bank of England. Lord Palmerston re-
gretted, in his famous reply to Mr.. Dis
raeh, that government had to depend for
