Tree Climbing Rabbits, Sheep Eating Par.
rots and Sheep That Love Snails.
It seems almost a stretch Of the i'm
agination to think Of rabbits climbing
trees. Yet in Australia many rabbits
have somehow acquired the tree climb
ing habit, having been forced, on acr
count Of the prosecutions Of dogs and
other animals, to drop hurrowing and
initiate squirrels. An Australian sent
on to England recently the two front
feet of a rabbit that had been killed on
an acacia, three yards from the ground,
and he wrote in his letter that this was
not at all a remarkable thing, and lie
had often found them, or at least the
traces of their claws, Oh tie bark Of
trees four, five and six yard: high.
For a parrot to eat sheep is another
remarkable thing, aid yet the kea of
New Zealand has become eheeD c;s;er,
having changed to this art :cie Of fccl
from purely vegetable d ct. Tic Lea
has proved a serious source Of annoy
ance to the New EEL nd herd men, and
methods have been taken fer the destruc-
ton of the species. These gay colored
little birds will eat almost any kind of
meat, but 1t is sheep that they prefer.
They hare been known 10 kill as
many as 2Co in single night and have
done serious harm to the focks. The
tradition of the island is that at ore
time these parrots were unable to OBJ
tain their usual supply Of vegetable
food and that in desperation they jnvad-
ed the "drying rooms and ewhatev-
or came to hand, finding sheep meat
agreeable. In Iceland almost all g
horses are fish eaters, for the reason that
the grain is scarce there and fish Is
plentiful. LII England sheep are known
who delight in snails. Tie observation
of this fact is not new; it dates back
$50 years.

Fall Tree Planting.

It cannot be urged too persistently on
the American people to continue the
planting Of trees There are few parts
of the country now left in which there
ere trees enough. Every town and city
street, every rural road ought to be lined
with shade. The difference this makes
III the looks of a village or rural neigh
borhood is enough to attract city people
looking for country homes to the spot
where the trees are planted. Any barren
little village with dusty streets and COM
mons covered with stagnant ponds and
*old tin cans may in three years. time be
transformed into bower Of beauty, sim
ply by cleanliness and tree and sod
planting. " ~.
: No farmers home in the northern,
middle or western states is what it ought
to be until it has thick clump CT ever.
greens planted On the northwest Of his
house and barns as wind break and
rows Of stately trees all around the road
side of his place. In the city lot Or in
the grounds Immediately surrounding a
country hons it is we'll to plant fruit
trees and mt trees Many of the nut
trees are also among the most valuable
Of the shade trees. Among these may
be mentioned the walnut, butternut
hickory nut and chestnut. Japanese
ehestnuts are superior to the American,
snd they are hardy in almost every part
: Of the Union.
= Eyergreens may often be planted to
better advantage in the fall than in the
spring. The planting may be done any
time from late in August till the end of
October. It is more convenient to do it
ia the autumn because the agriculturist
has more time. Those who wish to
set out forest and fruit trees this fall
should know that deciduous trees may
be planted any time from the middle of
October till the ground freezes. All ex-.
cept peach trees and soft wooded trees
are best set out in the fall. Indeed even
in frozen weather it is often possible to
move quite large trees from the forest
by digging up with them around the
roots a great ball of frozen earth and
setting the tree, roots, frozen earth and
all into hole large enough to receive
them.
: To set out small trees. say those to
~ inches in diameter, dig hole fully
yard square and two feet deep. Put
the young tree inside, with its roots
carefully spread out. Upon the roots
lay, grass downward, the sod taken from
the top Of the hole. This will decay and
make a valuable compost. Fill in tie
hole above the sod with richly fertiIize1
earth, covering the whole with ordinary
earth. a tree planted in this manner,
'watered sufficiently and fed With ferti-
lizers from time to time will make twice
the growth it does planted and treated
in the ordinary way.
