How to secure Growth OF Plants Which

How to secure Growth of Plants which
Seem without Life.
1t Is often a difficult task to get vines
started which have been planted near
dwellings. The plants stand still for
long time in many cases. 1t is fire.
quently the case that the soil Is poor in
such slocations. Excavations for the
cellar have been placed there. often of
sand or clay. in which no plant can
thrive. This must be made right by
digging out a barrowful or two OF this
rubbish and filling in with good soil.
Another, and perhaps greater reason
for this poor growth Is that the build
ings keep away the rain from certain
quarters, causing the soil to become so
dry that nothing can grow in IT, When
this 10 the trouble IL can be remedied
TO great extent by procuring vines
OF som length OF stem, that they may
be planted some distance away from
the wall. Let IL be Virginia creeper,
for instance. Get n vine with stem
two feet or more in length. Plant Il
two feet from the wall, opening a trench
from IL TO the wall in which the shoots
ere to be laid and covered over with
earth. This will bring the point of
the vine close to the wall, up which
1t viii soon rum. The root, being two
feet away from tho wall win meet with
more moisture than II closer to IL, and
the shoots which have been carried
along under ground will make root in
time, pushing along the growth fast.
In this way, with the roots IN good soil,
many vine has been given a good start,
which otherwise would have grown but
little or have died out completely. It
is an excellent plan, and one not often
thought of.-fruirie Farmer.

sivatinn- II this has been followed,
then remove all loose mulch. dead grass
and rubbish of various kinds from the
immediate vicinity of the base OF the
trees. This will destroy the nesting
places of the mice and will go far to-
ward protecting the trees from injury.
Then. In addition TO the above, make
smooth. compact mound OF earth, .
foot high. about the base Of the trees,
Just before the ground freezes. These
two precautions will be all that Is neces-
sary 20 insure protection against mice.
Rabbits are not so likely TO injure
trees where there are other smallplants,
such as young grapevines or nursery
stock. in the immediate vicinity OF the
orchard, as they seem to delight in
cutting Off the. young and tender
branches In preference TO gnawing the
bark of older trees. IL is always safe,
however. to protect the trees, and a
fayorite method is TO wrap the trunks
with closely-woven wire screen, such
as Is used for screen doors.
