INJURY BY RABBITS AND MICE.


How to Prevent These Pests From Barking
Frnit and Ornamental Trees.
Every winter thousands of trees in the
northern states are barxed and utterly
ruined by rabbits and mice. Here are
some preventives which, it is claimed by
Pickett in manual ON rats and other
pests, are not only effective, but easily
applied.
For preventing injury by rabbits take
hogs liver and rub the tree with it
from the ground up about two feet, or
kill a rabbit, split it open and apply to
the tree in the same manner. The APP
plication must be repeated after every
hard rain. The above have proved eff
fectual where rabbits are not more than
ordinarily numerous. Another method
is to mix tablespoonful of pine tar in
pailful of warm water and paint the
tree with it.
Some orchardists saw common lath in
halves, paint them with cheap kerosene
or crude petroleum, and with fine wire
weave them closely together, like woven
picket fences. Short sections of these
are fastened loosely around the trees and
prove protection against the attacks of
rabbits, even where they are plentiful.
7 Where rabbits are very numerous and
seem bent on destroying everything in
sight, poison them. To accomplish this
make sweet solution of strychnine by
mixing sugar and strychnine together
in the proportion of 10 of the former to
/ of the latter in warm water. With
this wet quantity of cracked or coarse
ly ground corn and place itin lots of one
teaspoonful in their paths and where
they mostly congregate. Do this late in
the evening, and early the following
morning take shovel and pan and care
fully gather up all that is left. This
method of decreasing their numbers is
brief and effective, but it is also little
risky and should not be resorted to ex-
cept when other measures prove futile.
Ordinarily few traps skillfully man
aged will settle the business for them.
The best way to prevent mice from
nibbling the bark off trees is to poison
/ tiltAls ~ Van OO AOllJ easily tliouSu.
Place pieces of board close by each tree,
resting one end Of them on blocks or
stones SO as to raise it about two inches
high. Under these boards place small
quantity of corn or wheat prepared as
for rabbits. Sweet corn is the best ar
ticle in the world for this purpose. In
Il short time afterward there won't be a
live mouse in the orchard. If the trees
are near the house, it is Il good plan to
cover the poisoned corn with a forkful of
coarse hay or small brush to prevent the
poultry from sampling it and retiring
from life.

Green bone, fresh from the market, is
a valuable food. Dry bone, rs found at
poultry supply stores, contains little nE-
tritive food, says Farm Poultry, which
explains that the former is not bone
alone, but contains a large per cent of
meat and gristle, and by little selection
Of these bones they often contain 70
per cent Of nutrient material. The dry
bone is invariably produced by prolonged
boiling or steaming, and often potash
and naphtha are used in the process to
extract the last particles Of fat in them
for soap making purposes. Green bones
and dry bones. as the terms are used, are
practically different things. The price Of
dry bones per pound should have no
bearing upon the price Of green bones,
and vice versa. They are obtained at diff
ferent places in different way. One can
DO stored and sold by the bag; the other
cannot. One can beground and prepared
by steam power at large factories and
sold at wholesale; the other cannot, I'M
less it be to q very limited extent. Dry
bones can be ground or crushed. Green
bones must be cut. The grinding or
crushing Of them is impracticable.

THE LANGSHAN FOWLS.


Tennesseean with Experience Expresses
His Opinion Concerning This Variety.
A Southern Cultiyator correspondent
writes as follows in relation to the Lang
shans:
We like the Langshan. The more ex-
perience we have with them the better
we like them. The Black Langshans,
we mean. We never had any expert
ence with the white variety. We be-
heve that the hen that lays best is the
hen that pays best. That is our motto,
and we measure the value of our poultry
by the egg test.
Now. the Langshan hen is good layer,
and that is why we like her. She pays
her board and more too. We may be mis-
taken, but it is our belief, based on ex-
perience, that the Langshan is the best
layer of all the feather legged breeds.
The Cochins and the Brahmas do not lay
for us like the Langshans do. Our friends
say the same thing. Everybody who has
them says the Langshan hens are good
winter layers. Such is our experience.
They are good spring, summer and fall
layers too.
Kel side by side in small yards ana
treated and fed just alike, seven Lang
shan hens have laid for us twice as many
eggs as seven Light Brahma hens during
the last six months. On the farm, where
they have plenty of range and foraging
ground alike, we find the Langshans
laying more eggs than the Brahmas or
Cochins. Langshans are large, but ac-
tive. Their black plumage is beautiful,
but it goes against them as market
fowls. 1t doesn't hurt their laying quail
ties any. however.
In the south the Langshan is popular
and thrives. Likewise the Game fowl.
To tone up a farm flock composed large
ly of Game hens Langshan cock would
work wonders. The Langshan, large.
fierce and active; the spirited Game hen,
tough and hardy, would produce prog
eny hard to beat for practical purposes
good layers, good table fowls, of large
size and weight. We advocate pure
breeds straight, but times are hard, and
money is scarce. A Langshan cross, as
suggested, would improve the farm
flock greatly.
