FARM AND GARDEN.

MICE AND RABBITS GNAwJNa TREES.
-Every winter the agricultural Jour-
nails contain inquiries "a to a remedy
to prevent mico and rabbits gnawing
trees and we have nearly annually an
swered them. Our remedy. which we
have tried with success, has proved
effectual in every instance in which 1t
has been properly applied. 1t IS to
bandage the trees with any old cotton
or woolen cloth, or very stiff paper
will do. For mice, eight or ten inches
high Will answer; for rabbits, not less
than two feet. The latter standing
upright can reach up very nearly two
feet as far as they can reach they will
gnaw. Tie same cloth, If put away.
will last for several years. OF cours !.
the bandaging must be we'll dono and
tied to tho trees securely. In gardens,
where trees are sure to be found If
there are any In tho vicinity a good
protection IS to feed them with cab
bage-stalks, or decaycd heads of cab
hage, otfals of rutabagas, carrots, hay,
etc. A dead trap" baited with ap-
pie, will also soon cleara garden; but,

found IN sweet apples. One pound Of
sugar has az much sweeteuing power

those who prefer white cheese are more
critical and require it to be without

fcrs this cheese ia limited in number,
so that tho market is easily ovcrstock-
cd. That appears 10 be tho case this

general thing, to mako that class of
goods that every body buys. The great
Dody OF buyers prefer yellow butter

properly coIored them lhe artificial
color must be applied to obtain the bes.
prices. This year tho market appears

Important that the cocoa should be

preparing the cocoa enables the house,

let it get cold, then skim off all the oil,
and give it another boil before serving.
