PROTECTION or TREEs FRoA RABBITS.
For many years we have heard fire.
quent complaints in regard to the
wholesale destruction of young ORCH
ards by rabbits, thereby causing much
discouragment against setting out
fruit trees.
Although many Recommend plac-
ing shock of corn around each tree.
yet that often proves an insufficient
remedy, as the rabbits work their way
into the shock and destroy the bark of
the tree near the ground.
In casting about in our minds for
something both cheap and effectual
for a protection, We have hit upon the
following plan: Take boot and shoe
boxes, knock them to pieces, save the
nails, split the boards into strips Of
about three inches wide, make them
into square boxes, mailing three COR
ners; leave the fourth corner without
mailing. They are put on by spring
ing the unnailed corner apart sum-
GENTLY to pass it by the trunk of the
tree, and letting it come together
again, thereby forming perfect pro-
lection against rabbits and mice, and
the sleety storms of winter. They can
be left on through the summer, as a
shield against the hot sun.
As these boxes can be bought for
about fifteen cents, by the quantity,
and will each, OF an average, make
four boxes, there being enough nails
in them for the same, the cost is but
trifling. The length Of the boxes is
about two and l.alf to four feet.
which is about the variation in the
length of trees. The boxes are easily
removed and replaced at any time.
The Inter Ocean also gives the fol-
lowing remedies, which some may
wish to try:
The usual remedy is to sprinkle
blood or rub grease on the trees likely
to be injured by them. This is gen.
orally effective; but not always. On
one occasion / had a lot of twe-year-
old pear trees set in an upright position
in trench. During few days of Sc
we're weather early in the winter the
rabbits got at them and knawed them
quite severely. went to the slaught-
er-hOuse and got a bucket of blood,
and sprinkled it on them to the height
of some two to two and half feet.
After this they would come and rear
up, and cut off the branches above
| where the blood had been sprinkled.
was considerably annoyed, and final
ly shot one of them, and, taking its
hide / tore it into shreds, and hung
them upon the trees where the
branches had been cut off. Not a tree
was injured after that. The whole
| tribe seemed to conclude that it was
not a healthy locality for the species,
and 80 they left in disgust. When
trees are tall enough for the branches
| to be out of their reach, simple rub
bing OF the trunk with either blood
or grease win be sufficient to prevent
all damage. If little tobacco is
added it will make the matter more
sure. The rabbit is Ia clean beast, and
does not relish the filthy weed.
If the trunk be washed with q
strong solution of tobacco, or il some
leaves or stems be hung up on the
tree 80 that the washings will run
down the tree, it will prove sure
protection.

HOME AND HAPPINESS.

There is one source of happiness
which is seldom, if ever, fully appre-
ciated or made to yield half the deli
cious enjoyment it is capable of
sffording. We allude to home life.
There are more exciting pleasures,
more impetuous Qualifications, more
bewitching attractions; but, no where
can we find more solid and permanent
happiness, more calm and enduring
satisfaction, more innocent and glee-
full joy, than in family home where
love reigns supreme. One cause OF
this lies in the perfect nsturalness OF
its relations. There is nothing forced
or arbitrary about the grouping OF this
assemblage. The father and mother
have been drawn together, it is to be
hoped, by mutual affection. The chill
dren bring with them new interests
and new joys, have found one by one
their appointed places and their glad
welcomes; it is no artificial assembly
gathered together for some avowed
purpose, and dissolved when that pur-
pose is gained it has indeed no direct
mission to fulfill outside it's own
boundaries. ITS existence and happi-
ness and the mutual good Of its men,
bers, are its sufficient aims. Each
member it is true, has other relations
and duties to the outside world, but
the family as family, is a little world
in itself; all the socialistic enterprises
whicE have striyen to supplant this
institution have failed, simply be-
cause they were laboring against one
of the strongest instincts of human
nature, that which draws father, moth
er and children under one roof-tree
and around one hearth-stone. No mat
ter how obscure or petty his life may
seem in the outdoor crowd, let him
once enter the sacred portal of home
and he becomes of consequence, his
affection is priced, and he can truth.
fully say, home, home, sweet home,
there is no place on this earth like
home. w. g.
