Winter Shelter for Fruit Trees.

We stated, recently, tho result of nvesti.
cations by Mr.. Macomber in regard to the
effect of the scalding sun in destroying fruit
trees which lean to the north or east, and
his opinion that they should be planted and
trained leaning toward the southwest, so that
the rays of the sun in afternoon will strike the
bark obliquely. Mr.. l.. j. Templin writes
to the Ohio Farmer on the subject of winter
protection from the sun, as follows:
The value of protection for trees, and es-
pccially for evergreens during the winter, is
generally conceded. But there is as much in
the manner in which this protection is given
as there is in the protection itself. In many
cases it is found that those trees and shrubs
that are best protected are the very ones to
suffer most. 1t is probable that there is
more injury done to trees and shrubs dur
ing the winter by the sunshine, than there
is by all the winds and freezing. And, as a
rule, it is not the fact the sun shines on them
but 1t is the manner in which they are ex.
posed to its influence that produces the dam
age. 1t is found that trees on the west side
of forest, or other protection, are often
killed, while those on the east side are in nc
way injured. This may be accounted for il
this way: Those that are exposed to the
earlier and feebler rays Of the SUI, are
warmed up and tbawed out slowly aud grad
ually, and no serious consequences follow
while those that are protected during the
earlier part Of the day are suddenly exposed
to its rays after they have reached theil
maximum heat, the temperature is raised
suddenly, and injuries often fatal to the life
of the tree follow. 1t is usually the thaw
ing and not the freezing that Injuries trees
Trees entirely protected from sunshine vii
often 60 through the winter safely, though
exposed to the power of all the cold winds
while those exposed to the sunshine, though
protected from the winds, will perish.
1t has often been observed that evergreens
small fruits, &C., growing on the south sid,
of close fence or other screen have been
killed, while the same varieties on the nortl
side Of the fence and in the same kind o

soil passes through uninjured. The injury
in such cases seems to result from the fre.
queut freezing and thawing to which they
are exposed in such situations. The fire.
quent injury to fruit trees known as "sun-
scald," and that is 80 often followed up by
the ravages Of the borer, is almost invaria-
bly, found on the southwest side of tree,
and is caused by the alternate freezing and
thawing resulting from the greater power of
the suns heat falling on that side Of the
tree during the early part Of the after.
noon.
These injuries never occur on the north
side Of tree, so we may readily conclude
that the cold alone is not the cause Of the
mischief. These facts do not disprove the
value Of protection to growing trees, but
they show the Importance Of using judgment
and discretion in its arrangement. Partially
tender evergreens, aud especially those with
broad leaves, should be shaded. Orchards
and trees in general, want protection on the
north and west sufficient to break the force
of the wind, but not sufficiently dense to ex.
clude the currents of air entirely. A belt
Of hardy, fast growing evergreeus is perhaps
the best for this purpose. For protecting
the trunks Of trees from the afternoon
suns in winter l know of nothing better than
to take two boards as long as can stand un-
der the branches nail the edges together
as for lead trough and set this with the
concave side against the southwest side of
the tree. A wrapping of twine or wire
near the top will hold it in place. This
will prevent all injury from the sun during
the winter.

POULTRY RAIsING.-When so many find
it difficult to make mere sufficiency for
lfe's support, it seems unaccountabe tn at
the pleasant and profitable business Of poul-
try raising should be seldom or never re-
sorted to for the purpose Of gaining livei-
hood and establishing paying and perma-
nent business, while an eager, struggling
crowd are jostling each other in every other
Avenue of industry, no matter how difficult
or how meager and uncertain the remunera-
ton promised. Poultry raising for profit is
light employment, requiring no particular
adaptability, and but a modicum Of real
work, with, of course, that regular and cease
less attention which must be given to any
business to ensure success, and it is a pay
ing investment from the day of commence
ment. The one secret of success is thor
oughness. The chickens must be well aad
regularly fed with variety of good food
and fresh water. The coops must BIO kept
clean and well ventilated, and the chicks
must have more or less room in which to
exercise, and, to reap the fullest measure of
success, must have comfortable, sheltered
and sunny winter quarters.-Poaltry Ma.

Make a Good Article.

Mr.. Alexander Hyde breaches good ser.
mon on ambition to excel, in the New York
Times, in course of which he says
Half the milk Of the country is nearly
wasted because the dairymen either do not
know, or are not ambitious to make gilt
edged article. Good butter is luxury and
always commands good price, but greas y,
frowsy butter is loathsome, fit ouly for the
cart-wheel, and poor even for this purpose.
There is no branch Of farming that calls
louder for reform than the dairy business.
1t is great national loss that 80 much milk
is spoiled in its manipulation. The average
butter taken in at country store is msera-
Bile, and what makes the matter worse, the
price paid is too often regulated by the in-
ferior article. The merchant should make
more discrimination between good and poor.
1t is difficult for him to do it so long as he
purchases in the way Of barter, for A says
you paid b so much for his butter and is of.
Tended if you offer him less, though BIS but
ter may be worth twice as much. The rem
edy for this state of things is partly with
the merchant but more with the farmer
Let each one study the art of butter-making
and strive to excel, and both he and the
public will be benefited. We like the spirit
of one ambitious woman of our acquaintance
who took her butter to the County Fair for
a number Of years without securing anything
more than the second and third premiums
81 don't care" said she, -naturedly, 81
am going to keep on trying till get the first"
She finally reached the goal of her ambition,
and now her butter is current at gilt-edged
prices. How much better this than to blame
the committee aud act like a stakey horse.

For the VERMONT FARMER.
Toulouse Geese.

All the readers of the FARMER will remem-
Der that you had an article taken from the
Poultry Nation last spring speaking in high
terms of Toulouse Geese. l have always
had a great horror of geese. The common
geese are always squalling, and are little un-
ruly ruuts. l had some correspondence with
Mr.. Todd last spring and finally ordered
seven eggs of the Toulouse. They came in
tiptop order, and were put under two hens.
All but two proved fertile but only two
hatched. They came out the Oath of May
and grew like pigs, never dropped bit, and
made an astonishing growth. don't know
how much they will weigh now, but are much
larger than any common old geese in this
vicinity. They are very quiet and can be
fenced as easy as sheep.
1t seems to me that our stock of geese
needs improving. 1t would pay much better
to keep large, quiet geese, than the kinds
usually kept. There are pastures that are
wet, and have feed that cattle will not eat,
where geese would pay we'll. l think Mr..
Todd did not recommend the geese higher
than they deserved j. G. McKEEY.

theore And as they grow older they
must have still more solid food Now,
1t calf is eating pretty freely of green
grass, he gets nearly as much water in the
grass as is needed for the purposes of diges.
tion and assimilation, and if. when the
stomach is already full, heavy feeding of
milk is given in addition, the calf is very
liable to be injured. This is especially SO
1t the milk is cold, or if It is given Just at
night, when the air is growing cool and the
calf is remaining quiet, but such feeding be.
comes really dangerous when followed by
rain storms or sudden cold. Milk will be
taken by calves whep water would not Just
because they like milk best. They will
drink milk when the system does not require
it, just as people sometimes drink ice water,
not because they are thirsty, but because it
tastes good, and so the system becomes filled
with fluids, "water-logged, we might say,
and consequently peculiarly subject to the
attacks Of diseases of various kinds. If
calves are to be fed largely on milk during
the first year, they should have dry hay in.
stead Of grass but if they are to be fed
chiefly upon grass, they should have but lit.
tie more milk in quantity than they would
naturally take of water il left to their own
choice.
We should say that your calves we're
weakened by over-tceding Of washy food,
that the cold and wet nights spoken of we're
the exciting causes that brought on the crisis,
and that it was too late to cure them after
the disease made its appearance. There
was not vitality enough in the animals to
operate upon with aay prospect of success.
1t would be like doctoring man attacked
with an acute disease, when the whole sys.
tenn is on the verge of putrefacton, the re-
suit of long years Of bad living and intem-
perate habits. The causes of death in such
cases are are put down in the "records" as
cholera, dysentery, pneumonia or fever, and
among animals il would be called black leg,
murrain, or inhammatory fever. Your
calves were not fed too WELL but too much
watery food was given, and the exposure to
the sudden changes of temperature together
with the wet coats undoubtedly were the
exciting causes which brought on sickness
and death. Those Vermont farmers who,
for several years, have been SO successful in
feeding sour milk to their calves, do not let
them have much grass until they have done
feeding milk. Dry English hay is found to
be much better for them.

TErANUs.-A novel cure of tetanus or
lockaw was accomplished in MaysviIle, says
the Bulletin, one day last week. A valuable
horse, belonging to Alexander 4 Wilson,
was attacked with the disease. An expe-
rienced veterinary surgeon was called in, and
after numerous remedies had been used, the
animal was pronounced incurable, and given
up to die Col. John b. Poyntz,' who hap
pened to be at the stable, proposed trying a
novel remedy, and did so with entire success,
An exact measurement of the distance be-
tween the horses eyes was made and pre-
csely at the center hole was bored with q
gimlet through the bone. The gimlet was
then driven in the animals head up to the
handle. Strange to say, the horse has en-.
tirely recovered.
