WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Not the least in Importance among
the measures that have passed the
legislature during the session closing
this week is joint resolution propos-
ing an amendment to the constitution
comforting upon women the elective
franchise. Mrs. Marion V. Dudley, of
Milwaukee. doubtless contributed
more than any other single agency in
bringing about the passage of this res
oluton. She delivered, before the
Senate committee to which the reso-
luton was referred, an eloquent plea
in behalf of the measure. and her ad-
dress seems to have had thu desired
effect. In her appeal Mrs. Dudley
says:
"Give the ballot to womeni Give
the mothers of this State the power to
protect themselves, their sons, their
daughters, and the unborn genera
lions from this lurking dend of drink,
whose sinister laugh mocks your an
guish as you lay your son in drunk
ard s grave; whose cloven foot, swift
and no. seless, stalks to the bridal ban
quet of your cherished daughter turns
the blush of her soft. young cheek to
the pallor of a drunkard's wife, the
mother of a drunkard's child; this
fend, that lays its skinny, ieshless
finger in the dimple of the babe in
your cradle, and dooms and damns it
ard its descendants forever and forev.
er; this fiend that fills the prisons,
lures young girls to bells of infamy,
d,bbles in the reeking blood spilled TO
glut the gallows' greed, and Knocks
High Heaven with yearly holocaust
of human souls. Give us the ballot,
and let us go solemnly, earnestly mp
to the polls and say, with the white
resoluteness of determination that
cannot be shaken: This baleful power
shall fall Give us the ballot, gentle
men, and we will bless you as we
march to our conseerated duty, we
and our children's children, forever
and forever.
Should the legislature of 1881 con.
cur in the action of the legislature of
| 1880 upon this question and this pre-
posed amendment be ratified by the
people, there will be no need of
tinkering the constitution on the
liquor question, as women with the
ballot would soon effect different ar
rangements in the traffic OF liquor. and
a knowledge of this fact on the part
of anti-temperance people will prove q
powerful factor In the opposition 70
female suffrage in Wisconsin. The
friends Of this measure will avail
themselves of the prestige they have
already gained. and experience little
if any dificulty in securing concurrent
| legislative action next winter but
success in their first appeal to the PEG
pie is question that admits of Q
good deal of doubt.

AMONG the many measurers that
were defeated in the State Legislature
this winter and subsequently ressur-
rected was the proposition to limit
County treasurers to one term, but
the friends of the measures though
able to secure a reconsideration of the
vote by which their bill was indefl-
nitely postponed were unable to effect
its passage and it was finally defeated.
as it should have been. The people
of each county are more competent to
Judge as to whom they may desire for
certain Office than the legislature and
that di stinguished body will do well
to leave such matters with the people,
where they properly belong.

Protecting Fruit Trees.

Fruit, like liberty, is only obtained at the
price Of "etearnl vigilance" The more any
section Of the country is improved, the
greater becomes the difficulty Of producing
fruit. Nearly all the insects injurious to
fruit follow in the march ofcivilZation. The
successful fruit-raiser must now be a practi-
cal entOmOlOgist and ornothOlogist. He
must XIII insects il he expects to have either
fair fruit or healthy trees He must also
understand the nature Of root-rot and sun
-cald. and know how to prevent them.
Having preserved his trees through the
summer against the attacks of insects he
must be ready to wage war against small
animals during the winter. During the
past few years the loss Of young fruit trees
by field mice and rabbits has been very
large. In some instances entire nurseries
and orchards have been destroyed By
them. \ hungry rabbit Will girdle a toler-
able large apple tree at single operation.
IL may be possible to save the life of the
tree by the insertion Of gratis between the
two portions of bark that are still attached
to the trunk by banking earth about the
wound, but the tree, if it RECEIVERS from the
injury, Will rarely be of sufficient value to
pay the cost Of the surgical operation and
the subsequent nursing. Ordinarily, the
first thing to do with a tree girdled by rab-
bits or mice Is remove it from the orchard
and set another in Its place. Trees may be
protected from the attacks Of rabbit by in
closing the lower portion Of the trunks with
pieces of wood. like laths or slaves, bound
together with wire Rabbits may generally
be kept from injuring the trunks of trees by
smearing them with blood, green cow-man~
uTc OF Il paste that contains tobacco or alOes.
As these substances are liable to be washed
off by rain and melted snow, it is necessary
to make q fresh application from time to
time.
As hcld-mice ordinarily burrow under
the snow when they gnaw the bark of trees,
it Is not easy to ascertain the injury they do
till the following spring Mice may be kept
from gu5wng trees by inclOsing the trunk
for q great distance of few inches from the
ground with pieces of sheet metal or wooden
boxes Sections of old stove-pipe or tin
cans opened at the seems and bent in the
proper manner make very good protectors.
4 little mound OF earth six or eight inches
high built round the bottom of the trunks
viii be eHactual in keeping the mice away.
Ii this mound is made OF manure 1t will
afford protection 10 the tree during the WIN
ter, and in the spring it may be spread over
the ground to excellent advantage. Some
manure may be 50 applied as to afford pro
lection against both rabbits and mice
Tramping the snow about the trunks OF
young trees Is practiced in some parts of the
country, but, as the operation must be re-
peated after every fall Of snow, the practice
is not recommended.

Curing Corn Fodder.

y correspondent in the Country Gentle
man says: Il have seen letters in your
paper advising farmers to hang their corr
stalks around the barn to dry and keeI
them. | would furnish the barn room and
hang up the fodder for nothing What
would be said ofhay spread out thin, with
air circulating through, compared with that
packed solid in a NOW? 1t would not be
worth half price. So of corn fodder.
When the corn is dry enough to husk, bring
to the barn, shuck it, then pack the stalks
solid in a NOW with splenty of salt on as the
work goes along The fodder comes out in
winter soft, sometimes moist, and always at
tractiye to cattle, who viii eat it up clean
if it be not soiled by being trodden on. The
salt preserves the fodder and gives it rel
ish, and withal salts the animals in very
convenient way. If the stalks forms only a
portion of the food, there is no danger of
their getting too much salt; if they have
nothing else, the plan would need modifca-
tipp -
