Winter Protection for Trees.

Some fruit growers have much
trouble during the winter seasons
from the depredations Of mice among
their small apple trees. Many Of
these trees are entirely girdled and
rendered worthless. Where snow falls
deep, but light, it allows the ma
RAIDERS to work freely along through
the grass and stubble. The only
thing that can be done by those who
take no precautionary measures in
the fall to protect their trees is to
keep the snow tramped solidly about
each tree. But it is much better to
take care that another winter shall
not find them unprotected. A bit Of
wire netting, or tarred paper, wrap
ped carefully about the base should
give good protection, or. a split tube
or a flexible wooden covering may be
applied. 1t does not pay to plant
fruit trees, and care for them during
the season, only to have them de-
stroyed in the winter from lack of
care. Filter and weeds Of any kind
about the base Of an unprotected
tree or near by in the orchard, are
simply a cordial invitation to the
mice to come in and shelter them
selves. Young fruit trees may be
protected from girdling by rabbits by
wrapping the trunk with straw, hay.
or cloth for one or two feet from the
ground. Pieces of corn stalks, split
in halves and tied around the tree,
with the flat side next the trunk,
will keep the rabbits from eating the
bark. Rabbits girdle trees on clean
ground, and mice those on weedy
land. Should tree be girdled, heap
ing earth around the fresh wound
will sometimes save the tree.

Scorch Instead of ScaId.

1t is quite common practice in
Europe to remove the hair from
slaughtered pigs by burning instead
of scalding. The heat has the same
effect either way in destroying the
epidermis or outer skin. and thus re-
moving the hair from the carcass.
The method is as follows: Some dry
straw is laid down and the pig is laid
upon it, more straw is thrown on the
carcass and fire is set to it all. All
that is required is to scorch the skin;
it must not be burned. If this is
done as soon as the animal is dead
and still warm, a blister is raised on
the skin and the hair is loosened. 1t
is necessary to manage the fire and
turn the carcass so that the heat is
distributed evenly and not zoo much
Of it is made. The carcass is then
scraped in the usual manner.

Does Poultry Paw?

The question is often asked, does
poultry pay? The question is an
swered by the success Of many. Mr..
James Rankin of Massachusetts,,
makes the following statements in the
Iowa Homestead: Il am exceedingly
cautious by nature, and public opin-
ion has been against the success of
the poultry business when undertaken
on a large scale. In addition I had
many kind neighbors who assured me
repeatedly that it was only a matter
of time when / would come to grief;
that my land would soon become
poisoned by constantly growing poul-
try upon IL: that disease and vermin
would step in and carry off my hope
and expectations, etc That land has
grown one lot of poultry and one Of
barley aud rye each season for the
past fifteen years and remains I'M

Wheat as Stock F0Otf.

In connection with the low price
of wheat English farmers are tigur-
ing to some extent on the use of that
grain for stock feeding purposes An
experimenter who has been giving
the subject close attention for some
time arrives at the conclusion that
when wheat sells over there at about
ninety cents per bushel it is better to
keep it for bread stuff purposes, but
when it declines materially below
that, the farmer is safe i'm using it,
in connection with linseed cake and
other products for feeding live stock.

How n Fish Sees.

The medium in which fresh-water
fishes live gives them chance to- see
a great distance only in the horizon
tai direction, and the proper adjust
ment of the eye would make, under
usual conditions, the optical axis take
this direction 70 me it seems i'm
possible to explain the constant reyo-
luton the eyshall on any other
hypothesis except that given, viz:
That the optical axis extends forward
instead of sidewise.
When fish wishes to eat any
thing, either at the bottom of the
pond or at the surface of the water,
it swims directly toward the oblect;
and in this case the eyes are Instant
" adjusted in line with the body, SO
Us to bring the image OF the particle
desired upon the posterior portion OF
the retina. In this case they lose
their usual horizontal position.
If fish wishes to turn to the right
or left in the water. the first move
ment is that OF the eyes in unison
with the direction of the turning.
This would be entirely unnecessary II
the apparent axis was the axis OF
most distinct vision, as one OF the
ewes would see all that was to be seen
in the side of the turning. After
this movement of the eyes, the body
turns enough to bring the eyes into
their normal position: and there is
again a movement Of the eyes, and
next a movement OF the body. This
causes a peculiar jerking motion OF
the eyeball during the whole time OF
the turning of the body.

Dairy Stock.

The uncertainty of deciding the
value Of dairy stock by general APP
pearance was recently demonstrated
by a breeder of high-clasS dairy cows.
According to Hoard's Dairymen, his
herd had been carefully bred, and, in
a general way, he thought he was
well acquainted with the proportion
ate value of each. He believed he
could pick out the best, and did so,
pricing a number of them to a dis
tant prospective purchaser. This
was before he had submitted the
milk of any of them to chemical
which Of late has become
so simple and cheap process as to be
within the reach Of every dairyman.
The test was a revelation to him; he
discovered that the milk of one of the
cows, priced among the very lowest
of the lot was yielding over sixteen
pounds of butter per week, while he
had not suspected her capable of
the half of it. She was seven years
old, and he raised her from calf. A
result somewhat similar followed the
testing of another cow. and this was
also surprise; and still another.
which was esteemed of far greater
value than either, and was thought
to be among the most profitable but
ter makers in the herd, showed a ca.
pacity of trif,e less than a pound a
day. Luckily for the owner, the
buyer was tardy in accepting the cat.

and estimates followed. These tests
did more toward convincing the
breeder Of the utter ambiguity or
judging dairy cow by her CLOCKS.
than a whole life Of argument could
have done. He names no prices for
any of his COWS until after they are
tested. Then, he says, true value
can be Appropriated with some de-
gree of satisfaction.
