MICE make fearful ravages in the small
fruit orchard during the winter. Currant
and gooseberry shrubs suffer the most. One
year ago we placed pine boughs about these
shrubs in the HUsBANDMAN experimental
garden, and found III the spring that they
were nearly all peeled. Last fall we threw
light covering of stable manure about
their reots and this spring find them peeled
nearly as bad as ever. The work of the
mice, however, was done above the mulcl-
ing, W.Iich develops the fact that the result
would have been equally as bad had there
been no mulching used at ALL The only
way to prevent the ravages OF mice, we are
informed by a farmer who has made the ex-
pertinent, is to tramp the snow down hard
about the shrubs in early winter. Our
garden drifts entirely rull OF snow in winter.
and there are few gardens in the Territory
that do not, hence the tramping must be
done soon after the first snow We trust
our readers will all remember this and try
it next fall. We have confidence in its
success.

Very rich and heavy soils are in
most cases inferior to the loamy or
gravelly soils for fruit growing. On
these lighter soils the trees ripen their
wood better, grow less rapidly and give
better favored fruit than those grown
on very rich soils. Usually the best
fruit lands are those which are natural
ly light, but which are kept up by a
judicious system of cultivation and
manuring. Troy Times.
Bread Pudding: One pint of stale
bread, one quart of sweet milk, one tea
spoonful of salt, three tablespoonful of
sugar and two eggs. Soak the bread and
milk together two hours, then mash fine
with the back of the spoon; beat eggs,
sugar and salt together, and add to the
bread and milk; turn into the pudding
dish and bake in slow oven for forty
five minutes. Run knife or the handle
of a spoon down the center of the pud-
ding If it does not look milky it is
done. Cover the top of the pudding
with meringue. Boston Globe.
Let no one despair of having fresh
vegetables daily through the summer
who has even little land and a dispo-
sition to till it, for early attention,
thorough culture and abundant dressing,
can hardly fail of rich reward. Good
seeds are indispensable, and fall
spading important, as it hastens the
early spring products several weeks.
When the garden is not plowed and
planted until nearly June, which often
happens in this section, the growth is
rapid and returns fair, but the satisfac-
ton of early esculents, when we should
most enjoy them, is entirely lost. Y.

TOOLS AND CATTLE.
A Veteran Observers Remarks About the
Care and Treatment of Both.

Care and Treatment of Both.
In journeying through the Western
States l have noticed a certain kind of
economy practiced by dairymen as well
as other farmers, in housing farm inn
plements under the clouds of Heaven.
1t is broad shelter, but somehow tools
do not last quite as long, so housed, as
when put under a shingled roof. The
clouds do not always hold water. They
leak, and the tools get wet The parts
made of iron and steel rust and become
rough and run heavily, and wear out
quickly, and the wood work swells and
shrinks, and wraps out of place, and
soon decays, and the tools are rendered
useless.
/ have often seen costly machines.
plows, cultivators, drills, mowers, reap
ers, and occasionally thresher. stand
ing by the side of q barn-yard, or where
they were used last, and where they
will probably remain till wanted for use
again. The Western States and Terri
tories are great country, and they do
business there in a large way. The farm
ers there are great hands for buying
tools, and they must needs have large
place to store them, but their broad, un-
fenced lots are little too large. Tools
would be better off in snugger quarters
and under tight roof if it be only of
boards. Upon asking the owners of
these exposed tools why they do not
house them l have sometimes been
answered that it costs more for buildings
to shelter them than to buy new tools.
Though such answers may have been
sincere, 1 do not believe they are true.
In many of the newly settled localaties,
lumber is scarce and high, but tools
are also costly. The price of one extra
mower would pay for lumber enough
to shelter all the tools needed for a
half section of land for long series of
years, and would save its cost many
times over in the preservation of other
tools than the mower, to say nothing
of loss of time, and trouble and vexation
upon finding the exposed implements
out of order when wanted for use. For
all implements composed wholly or
partly of wood with joints in them,
hot sunshine and dry winds are nearly
as injurious as rain. Clouds may do
some good by protecting tools against
the sun, but l very much doubt the
propriety or necessity of using them to
the extent practiced in some parts of
the West. l have noticed that the
dairymen who shelter their mowers and
other valuable tools under the clouds,
and stable the:- COWS under the same
cover, are always among those who say
clarifying does not pay" and who are
always having losses in their stock,
and deal of bad luck in other ways.
Men who are so oblivious of their own
welfa.s as TO, suffer heavy losses con-
tinuaiiy Wy neglecting to care for their
tools, will be neglectful of their inter-
ests in other respects as well, and be
very sure to be behindhand and always
in trouble. On the other hand, there
is no better evidence of independence,
intelligence, and thrift, than to see a
farmers tools and animals all spugly
protected against unfayorable weather.

FORGOT HIMSELF.
How Pious Divine was Reminded OF
His Boyhood Days.

A professor at Cambridge, who is
considered the first mathematician in
England, albeit pious divine and a
man of staid character and 'deyout hab-'
It's, happened TO be taking his constitu-
tional on the banks of the river at the
time of recent boat race. The river
is narrow. A dexterous movement OF
the tiller when the boats are side by side
will often decide the raceby driving one
of the competitors too near the bank.
Well, the learned and pious
churchman, having sauntered to
the riverside just as the boats were
passing, watched them for moment
with calm face. Some old memories
of bygone contests rushed into his mind
the struggle fired his blood; he was
seen to clench his fists and to walk with
firmer tread. He followed the boats
for a few PAGES. AS they came to
turn in the river he actually ran, in full
collegiate costume as he was. His cap
blew off-heneve noticed it. He began
to wave his arms. A crowd around
him, unconscious of his presence,
shouted: $50 it, Trinityr' "Yoicks,
Caiusp' The boats were approaching a
very narrow part of the river, the
Caius men half length ahead.
The spectators were shouting in fren-
zy of excitement, when above the tu-
multi arose the sonorous and stentorian
voice of the venerable professor: Port,
Caius, you scoundrel! Confound it,
port your helm, mani" and as the
shrewd order was instantly obeyed, in
a still more energetic voice: "Optime,
Johannesr' then, suddenly recollecting
himself, said: Goodness gracious, gem
tlemen, have forgotten myself'' and
the old gentleman walked off at a round
pace, blushing like girl, amidst tho
vociferous applause of the Students
Every Other Saturday.
