Protecting Trees Against Rabbits.

a method endorsed by the Missouri
State Horticultural Society for protect
ing fruit trees against rabbits is as fol-
lows:
Wire cloth around the tree is an effec-
tive protection against rabbits, and if
inserted all inch or two into the ground
is an equally sure protection against the
ground mice which often eirde the trees
at and before the surface during the
winter. There is especial danger from
mice if the ground is covered with grass,
weeds or the mulch of the summer,
which should be removed for some dis
tance around the tree unless the wire
mentioned is used. If wire is used it
may be left on as protection against
borers in the summer. Apple, pear,
peach, plum, cherry, apricot, ounce,
all kinds of fruit trees, arc now nightly
exposed to destruction by the rabbits
unless protected by some means. That
the rabbits have not done so before
is no reliable assurance that they will not
eat up your orchard this winter. The
change in grass and weed plots, corn
fields, conditions of hedge rows, etc,
also change the haunts of the rabbits,
and one cannot tell when they will make
q raid on the orchard. AS a protection,
sprinkling blood on the trees, rubbing
with greasy bacon or the flesh of the rab.
bit, as is frequently practised, may be
effective for time, but these 'appl;ca-
tions are liable to be washed off by heavy
rains, leaving the tree exposed before
winter is over. A surcr method is to
wrap the trees with something. Rye
straw, slough grass, heavy paper, rags,
etc, are used, and one is as good as the
other if the body of the tree within reach
of the rabbits is covered.

AGRICULTURAL,
TOPICS OFINTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Mated. Not Matched. Horses.

In his instructive work, The Birdie
Bits" Col. Baltersby (who is veteran
cavalry officer and expert horsemaD) OBJ
serves that horses put together as team
because they are of the same height and
color or look alike, and have been driven
with different and various bits, yet don't
go well together, are numerous and
ought to be divorced. This may be he
cause, although they are mates, they are
not matches, and while one is worth
$500, the mate is not worth $50. II
horses are not well matched in every re-
spect, especially in the mouthing, they
must be driven with different bits and
the length of the inner or outer rein reg
ulated according to the disposition of
one or the other of the team to pull with
or against each other, and thus fall into
'slagging.'

How Plaster Acts on Land

It has been satisfactorily ascertained
that On soils destitute of vegetable mat
ter plaster has little or no influence un-
less accompanied with some kind of de-
composable material, so that its benefi-
cial effects are best secured by pursuing
such a sy>tem of cropping as will accu-
mulate vegetable matter in the soil.
Pure plaster is composed of thirty three
per cent. of lime, forty. one per cent. of
sulphuric acid, and twenty one per cent.
Uf water, and is more or less beneficial
to crops as the soil is more or less def
cient in one or more Of these elements.
Its influence on plants is seen most plain
ly in the large increase of foliage aud
stalk as distinguished ON the for
nation of seed, and, therefore, its effects
are visible on the different varieties of
clover. A crop of two tons of clover
contains about twenty-five pounds of
sulphate of lime whilst crop of twenty.
five bushels of wheat, straw and all, con-
tains but seven pounds, and fifty bush
els Of corn contain less than one pound.
And it is universally considered that
plaster, on proper kinds of soil and in
right condition, is beneficial to all kinds
of the clover family, yet that it increases
the yield of wheat, corn, rye, or oats is
not SO generally conceded.
Liebig claimed-and we have great
faith in his opinion-that the chief bene-
fit of plaster to land was that it absorbed
ammonia from the atmosphere and fixed
it in the soil. Others hold that, besides
this quality, it disintegrates the COM
pound silicates in the soil, setting free
the potash and magnesia-two essential
constituents of plant growth-and by
rendering them soluble and active in the
soil, thus furnishes plants with four of
their very eSsentia! constituents, viz. :
sulphur, lime, potash and magnesia.
That there is great difference in the
quality of the plaster is known 10 all OBJ
servant farmers, and it has hecn found
that the kind which, in grinding, emits
the strongest smell of sulphuric acid has
the best effect on vegetation; and whilst
it cannot be denied that some plaster, in
some seasons at least has little of no per
ceptible effect on vegetation, yet, when
pure,it is almost as powerful in its effects
as the best of manurcs, and when incor-
porated with or strcwn over the manure
pile at once stops its strong, pungent
smell by uniting with the ammonia,
and thus preserving the strength OF the
manure.
The great danger, however, to the
farmer in purchasing plaster is the liza
bihty OF having an impure article I'M
posed upon him, and therefore he can
not be too particular in satisfying him
self in this respect. timorr SIN.

BATTING. 4 FIELDING

A team batting average of .242 is by
no means discreditable, and a fielding
record of 500 is exceptionally good,
when it is remembered that bases on
balls are scored as errors. The Mime
apolis pitchers get ten of the TWENTY-FIVE
errors. but have played an errorlesS
fielding game. Under last years rules,
the fielding record would be .9l6 In
base running, the difference was still
more marked, Minneapolis stealing
twenty-seven bases against thirteen for
their opponents Minneapolis pitchers
struck out thirty-three men, while the
opposing pitchers fouled out but twenty
five. In the matter of total base hits,
Minneapolis is far in the lead. OF the
errors in the field, four were the results
of accidents to the players and five more
occurred in innings which yielded no
runs, so that really but six errors oc-
Cured which bore upon the results.
This is d very satisfactory showing, and
if the team can keep it up, its patrons
will rapidly increase in number as the
eaSOn grows,

THE MINNEAPOLIS TEAM
Does Very CreditabIe Work In Its
Exhibition Games.

Exhibition Games.
The exhibition series of ball games is
over. and tomorrow the Western asso-
citation teams will settle down to the
real work OF the season. The Mime
apolis team will leave this evening for
Omaha, where they play on Saturday.
Klopf and Krieg, the ku-kluX battery,
will otficiate for Manager Go0dlng, and
Loyett and Wilson, the crack battery OF
the association, will occupy the points
for Omaha. ''lf we win five games OF
the twelve, ] will feel proud, and four
victories will not at all discourage me-"
said Mr.. GoOding yesterday. with
new team on its first trip. in the early
snring, reverseS are altogether probable.
We propose to play our best at all
events and win where it is possible"
The team is in tirSt-clasS shape, con-
sidering the recent ravageS OF winter
cholera and river water, and the boys
feel confident OF doing good work. The
exhibition games have given the public
a taste of their quality and at the same
time has given an impetus to base ball
in Minneapolis that promises well for
the financial end OF the string. The
GLOBE has always insisted that Min
neapoIis is good ball town. as the
expression goes, when good ball is
furnished. What the team may do, no
one knows, but until it is shown to be
otherwise, the assumption is that it is a
GOO d one. The team has played five
Exhibition games, two with St, Paul and
three with Omaha, and has won three
of them. In these games, the home
team outplayed the opponents at every
point. 1t is true that Omaha did not
bring its best pitching talent, but that
talent would have added nothing to its
batting strength. st. Paul played aver
age pitchers and Minneapolis played its
last years men, with the result as
known. The following table shows
the individual batting and fielding aver
ages of Mr.. Goodding's men, with the
team average compared with that OF its
