Protection from Uirdilng. - Where
fruit trees are kept cultivated there Is
little danger from their being girdled
by mice or rabbits II the ground Is free
from weeds or trash OF any Kind. But
around the edges OF the orchard there
Is often danger OF the pests coming In
from the outside and doing their work.
Mr.. 8. G.. Rowell says IN an exchange
that the greatest danger Is likely TO
occur In orchards that are In sod or
near woodland. Old trees seldom are
attacked, but young ones should always
receive some protection. Where moth
ing but mice are feared the simplest
and easiest protection Is bank OF
earth heaped up around the base OF
the tree TO the height OF foot. II this
has been neglected solid tramplng OF
the snow around tho trunks will turn

which, IN spite OF very indifferent oul.
tiYation between planting and harvest.
potatoes, turnips, ruta-bagas, cabbages,
cnulinowers, peas, carrots. fadiahea,
lettuce. onions, etc. are grown. Some
form OF bedding the soil la praeticed
nearly everywhere but the greatest evil
Is the tendency OF erowdlng through
planting too closely. Close planting
seems nearly always the rule. and Il
pcsults In such a complete shading OF
the ground that the suns rays rarely
or never strike the soil. Poor drainage
Ia often an accompaniment OF close
planting. and, with the rank growth
OF weeds Il ID no wonder that meager
results are obtained.

THE BnooDHoUNps DO GOOD

The two hloodhounds, jude and Trix,
which are owned by the city, have done
some good work in the last two or three
days and have trailed down two thieves
already. Saturday night Robert Craig,
who lives on the old Yates farm north of
the race track, had hog stolen and on
Sunday the dogs were taken there by
Chief Dyer and Officer Griffin and put on
the trail. They Immediately struck the
right track and followed by the officers
they went straight to a house occupied by
u negro named Major Vincent, where they
found the hog but not the thief. Some
time afterwards they got on the trail of
the negro and were. ain ost on him when
he waded the river and got away but it Is
thought that he will soou be apprehended.
On Sunday night some one stole some
chickens from the hen. house of Joe Moo
nav who lives about three miles from
the city so yesterday the hounds were
again brought into play and striking a
tail they followed it without once losing
it until they came to Sabe Hairston's
house in 'Pedee Bottom" where the
chickens heads wero found. Sabe Is u
noted negro chicken thief and while he..is
still at large wills doubtless soon be cap
tured.
