FARM AND GARDEN.
8 PROTECTION FOR TREES.
Handy Continuance SlSetched for the
Benefit of Fruit-fsrowers.

Handy Contrivance sketehed for the
Benefit of Fruit-Growers.
The term .'sun scald'' is applied to the
wounds found on trees on their south or
southwest sides. This seems to be a
more common source of injury to fruit
and forest trees in the Western and
Northern States than in the East or
South. Such wounds commence by the
discoloration of the bark at some part
exposed TO the suns rays, and ends in
the dying and falling off of the bark. L
have seen scarlet oaks. whose butts were
exposed TO the sun, that had the bark
coming off for as much as twenty feet,
or even more, on their southwest side.
Very many apple trees are thus injured.
What the cause is has often been disput-
ed, but it is probable that it results
from the action of the sap on the south
side being suddenly checked after a
time of warm weather, during which it
had become very active where the di-
rect sun rays warmed the trunk.
There are several methods now in use,
and OF value to prevent or reduce loss
from this cause. First, inelining the
body and top of the tree to the south
west at b. gle of about go degrees
with the horizon. BY this means the

RUNNING DOWN MUSTANGS.
Indian Athletes Who Out-Run the Fleet
Footed Ponies.


Footed Ponies.
Indians afoot and DESTROYS of mount
have been known actually to run wild
pony down. They take one by sheer
endurance. There is, of course, as great
a difference in stamina and staying
powers among Indians as among the
whites; but almost any village or camp
will furnish one or two, or even three,
bronze athletes who are good and game
at a days running, to run one hum
bred miles from their last repast.
A wild pony can not do this. Unprac-
ticed, grass-fed and soft, he shows no
such strength or bottom. Should neces-
sity point and occasion offer one of
these savage Mercurys will undertake
a mustangs capture on foot. coursing
him by sight as greyhounds course
hares. The time selected is after a
light snow-this on account of the
plain, open trail it shows in the event of
the pony getting out of sight at any
time during the chase. Then. again,
the running Indian can scoop up "A
handful of snow as he flies, and make
it take the place of water.
When such "A chase is arranged for

moceasins they begin the hunt. They
select their victim, cutting it OUT of
the bunch" and pursue it straight
away. They never circle it, as that
would make the Indians run a greater
distance than the pony. Away across
the country goes the astonished pony,
with the runners square on its trail,
pushing forward in silence. Sullenly
they cling to the trail. no matter where
it leads. Up hill and down, among
rocks. across streams-where the pony
goes they go, tireless as fate. At last,
broken in heart and strength, unable to
struggle farther, the mustang is taken.
Unless far stronger than usual. he will
be run down within the first fifty miles.

ANTS AS SURGEONS.
The Use Made of Their Powerful Jaws by =
Tribe OF Brazilian Indians.

Tribe OF Brazilian Indians.
Ants are terrible fighters, says a wri-
ter in the New York Examiner They
have very powerful jaws, considering
the size of their bodies, and, therefore,
their method of fighting is by biting.
They will bite one another, and hold on
with a wonderful grip of the jaws, even
after their legs have been bitten off by
other ants. Sometimes six or eight
ants will be cInging with death grip
to another, making a peculiar specta-
Gle, some with a leg gone and some
with half the body gone. One singular
fact is that the grip of an ants jaw is
retained even after the body has been
bitten off and nothing but the head re-
mains. This knowledge is possessed
by certain tribe Of Indians in Brazil,
who put the ants to very peculiar use.
When an Indian gets a cash cut in his
hand, instead of having his hand sewed
together, as physicians do in this coun-
try, he procures five or six large black
ants, and holding their heads near the
cash they bring their jaws together in
biting the flesh, and thus pull the two
sides of the cash together. Then the
Indian pinches off the bodies of the
ants and leaves their heads clinging to
the cash, which is held together until
the cash is perfectly healed.
