ORCHARDS IN WINTER.
Protect the Trees from Rabbits, Mice and
Other Depredators.


Now is the time of danger to young
orchards while the snow is on and the
green grass is out of reach of the rab-
bits which must eat to live, and in lieu
of that which they may relish better
will take the bark from the apple or
other fruit trees. Wrapping the trees
in the orchard with thick paper will be
as easily and quickly done as any
other method, Semi-pruning and let
ting the limbs lie around affords pro-
lection as the rabbits prefer the scions
to the main stalk of the tree. The
mice, too, often do great damage under
the snow If much rubbish is left about
the roots Of the tree under which they
can harbor. Small trees are often en-
tirely barkeo around close to the
ground. 1t is safest to clear away the
trash and bank up little with dirt in
the fall. A remedy in the spring, if
discovered early enough, is to bank
fresh soil around where the bark has
been removed, before the wood has dried
too much, and new bark will take the
place of the old. This may be done where
the rabbits have gnawed, unless too
high up on the trunk, which lis liable
to be where the snow has drifted about
the trees and which enables the rab-
bits sometimes to get among the
branches The winter has started in
with great severity and it will be well
to afford as much protection to ta'
small fruits, especially the vineyards
which can be laid down and covered.
To many things in the vegetable king,
dom the snow, and plenty of it, is OF
supreme Importance if it only keeps
the ground amply covered until The
April showers come to remove it. Dur
ing these leisure hours the farmers
should study the various needs of the
different branches of their pursuit by
the perusal of the papers and books
which come within their reach. This
gives them an opportunity of coming
in contact with the experiences Of
others who have given the subjects
much thought and scientific investiga
tion.-Western Rural.

Thriving straw berry Runners.

A writer in the Ohio Farmer says
that bed set out in early May has hal
ample time before the close of June to
produce strongly-rooted plants of good
size, and that these plants often send
out as strong runners at first as they
ever do. His plan is to make use of
these first runners, one or two to each
plant, but to pinch off others that may
follow until these are rooted, Then he
let's few more grow and take root;
and so let's the thinning be kept up
during the whole season. A few strong
plants are better supported than null
titude of crowded ones, and give better
growth

like the illustration, if the object of
keeping the cows clean is accom-
plished? There is never any loss in
making live stock, particularly cows,
as comfortable as possible The salts
fac.:on of having clean milk and high
favored butter will pay for all the
trouble it makes. The making of a
choice class of butter, that will bring
the best winter prices, is out of the
question on many farms because of the
failure to keep the cows clean. -Coun-

KEEP THE COWS CLEAN.

DO 1t by Building Uneven Managers and
Even Drops.
There is no reason why q herd of
dairy cows should suffer in appearance
because covered with filth from fall to
spring. The immediate cause for this
trouble is floors without drops, or that
are too long to match the individual
ANIMALS. To vary the distance between
manger and drop by having the gut
tiers in uneven positions, would make
an untidy appearance in the stable, be-
sides increasing the labor of clearing
it, but it is not impossible to make
each manger, or pair of managers, NOV
able, so that each COW, or two cows of
thc same length, may be accommodate
ed with length of floor exactly
adapted to their requirements To
bring this about, let each manger bot
tom be firmly nailed to two strips of
scantling eighteen inches long, which
fit into corresponding slots in the stable
floor-slots long enough to permit the
movement forward and backward OF
the managers A simple hook or bolt
made of wood or iron and attached to
the manger in front win firmly hold it
in the desired position. If the
managers are not sufficiently heavy
to tie to, or if stanchions are used, an
upright, two by three inches, may con-
meet the manger with the ceiling above
by means of a simple fastening, so that
the tie will be solid.
What matter If the row of managers
be somewhat uneven and out of line,

WHY 'AoPPERs CHEW TOBACCO
Story of the Way in Which Man Obtained
the Weed.

the Weed.
An ethnologist tells an interesting
story as to how tobacco was first OBJ
tanned by man, according to the tradi-
tion of the Menominee Indians.
Zone day the god-hepo Manabozo was
on journey, when he perceived a de-
lightful odor. 1t seemed to come from
q crevice in the cliffs high up on a
mountain side, On going closer he
found cavern which was occupied by
giant In fact, the giant was the
tenant Of the mountain, and from the
mouth of the cave passage led down
into the very center of the hill, where
there was a large chamber. Around
the chamber was stacked great guam
titles of bags filled with curious dried
leaves. From the leaves proceeded the
delicious fragrance.
"These leaves were tobacco. Once a
year, the giant explained, all the spirits
came to the mountain for the purpose
OF smoking this exquisite weed. But
it was not possible to give any of il
away, said the ethnologist. Neverthe'
less Manabozo watched for an oppor
tunity, and, snatching up one of the
bags, fled, closely pursued by the giant
The thief leaped from peak to peak
but the giant followed so fast as tC
finally overtake him. So Manabozc
turned upon him, and, upbraiding hin
for his stinginess, transformed him into
a grasshopper.
THAT is the reason why the grass
hopper is always chewing tobacco
Manabozo took the bagful of leaves
and distributed them among hi
friends, the ancestors of the Indians
of to-day. Since then they have haC
the use and enjoyment of the plant. u

CHARGED BY A GRIZZLY,

Wounded Bear.
Mr.. Roosevelt believes that the dan

cept once. He had been caught alone
in tangle of winding valleys, and at
dusk halted and camped in an open
spot beside brook. Here he made his
bed, knee-haltered his horse, dragged
up few dry logs, and then strolled off,
rifle on shoulder, to see if he could pick
up grouse for supper.
'At last, as Twas thinking of turning
toward camp, stole up to the crest of
one of the ridges, and looked over into
the valley some sixty yards off. Imme-

dark object, and another glance show
