TAR FOR PROTECTION.
How to Treat Trees in Late Fall or Ear
Winter.

How to Treat Trees in Late Fall or Early
Winter.
Every spring we hear of much de-
struction of young apple orchards by
mice or rabbits, especially in regions
of heavy snowfall The rabbits go
over the snow and bark the trees above
it: the mice keep under for warmth,
and eat away at the soft bark near the
roots On prairies where there is little
or no snow, the rabbits are often sorely
pressed for food and seek the young
apple orchards; and where grass and
weeds are allowed to grow about the
trees. mice find warm hiding place
beneath the dead heritage, and pursue
their work as briskly as though COW
cred with two or three feet of snow. An
occasional farmer who may have learned
from experience that it is better to
protect his trees in autumn than at
tempt to repair damages in spring,
does not fail to adopt precautionary
measures. Smearing the stems late in
fall with whale-oil, stale lard or any
strong-smelling grease, will prove very
offensive to rabbits, but not to mice;
coal-tar seems to repel both, also the
round-headed apple-tree borer, and for
this reason 1 prefer it to any other
protective material; L prefer common
light tar paper. such as is used for
various purposes in building, for it is
very cheap and always ready for use;
where this cannot be obtained. the
stems of the trees may be wrapped
with any kind of strong wrapping pa
per. allowing it to extend an inch or
two below the surface of the ground
and upward two feet or more. After
the paper wraps are in place, paint the
outside with warm tar. If the trees
are large and the old bark quite thick,
coal-tar and plaster, or fine dry clay,
will answer for making a paint that
may be applied directly to the stems,
but on young trees with thin bark,
there is danger of the tar burning, and
for this reason 1 prefer using paper.

Fall pigs can be fattened in winter
by giving them summer conditions
about as well and cheaply as they can
be fattened in summer. Double board
the pen and fill in with sawdust or
straw. Let the earth come ND flush
with the silfs and then lay the flooring.
Keep thermometer inside and the
temperature at sixty degrees. Wheat
bran. mill feed, vegetables, cut clover
and corn. the last few weeks, will do
the rest Fresh pork brings most in
spring. and this excess usually is suffi-
cient to pay the extra care. And then
the work occurs when the farmers have
the most time to spare. ;

All the residential houses of Glaston-

placed one big dry goods box endways
towards tho street, and then added as
an afterthought another, at right angles
to the rear, making a T. Add to this a
plain porch, in some instances q stOop,
and crown the whole with a low, sloping
shingle-roof, paint the building white
with green shutters, and you have the
typical picture of a Glastonbury home

and that was. if possible, more angular

people, fair to look upon, sat on a rustic
seat under q tall elm on the bank Of a
lordly rivera young man and girl
just blossoming into the maturity of
womanhood.
The maiden was fair as the creation
of poets dream; the man stalwart,
strong and nobly featured, but though
you never would have guessed it, look
ing at his big, brown eyes, blind from
his childhood.
The river which flows at their feet is
the st. Clair, the deepest, broadcast.
clearest stream in Michigan had
nearly said in the world.
Yonder thriving town is the new city
Of Glastonbury, and the duslky cloud.
which blurs the landscape ten miles
away, is the smoke from the chimneys
of the village of Havana
The young folks sit in quiet converse,
evidently enjoying the delicious breeze.
