YOUNG FRUIT TREES.
How to Protect Them from Rabbits
Is a Problem That Has Puzzled
Many a Man.

l have tried several plans of protect
ing young fruit trees from rabbits, and
have unpleasant memories of some;
especially the axle grease plan. L
bought eight fine apple trees at 371s
cents apiece, and applied the axle
grease as directed in an agricultural
paper, and next spring all but two
were dead; five years later these two
were still stunted, and had made lit
tie or no growth. I would like to warn
all fruit growers against the use of
axle grease. Several of my neighbors
followed the directions of this article,
with equally disastrous results, and no
telling how many readers in other
parts of the country. Axle grease is
an excellent thing on the axle, but on
the young tree it is very destructive.
The method which I find to give. the
greatest satisfaction is as follows:
Procure a lot of medium-sized corn
stalks and cut them in two-foot
lengths. With stout cord-binder
Irvine preferred-tie one around each
end of stalk, about three inches from
end; tying stalk in middle of string,
place another stalk beside this one,
pass string around, tie and proceed
with next stalk, picket fence fashion,
until you have enough to pass around
the tree. Leave several inches of
string beyond the last stalk to tie
around the tree. These can be made
very fast, and will keep off the rodents
nicely, and will be better than rags:
The stalk protectors will last several
winters. Some use paper and rags for
this purpose, but however cheap and
easily applied they are not altogether
satisfactory; I have known bunny to
have intelligence enough to remove
this covering for his SUPERB. W.

The Hair in Hot weather.

Oil the head at night three times
weekly. On the following day wash
with soap and water, rinse and expose
to the suns heat for as many hours
as possible. Let the sun fall on the
scalp. 1t is not necessary to expose
the entire scalp at one time. One
part may be shielded while another
is having it's sun bath. Few people
are aware that by a skillful use of
the comb severe straightness can be
remedied. It is difficult to convey in
words a correct idea of the necessary
motion of the hand. It resembles
that employed in whisking an egg
into a frothy state The comb is
moved rapidly and very lightly, with
the result that the hair assumes a
fluffy condition. But this is merely
temporary.

A GIRL IN BUSINESS.
Long Before Actual Returns Be-

It was agreed that Aramintha should
have the chicken money.
If they were going to live in the sub
urbs, father argued. they might as
well have the privileges of the coun-

than nice, fresh, new-laid egg for

Further" he said, discoursing on
the subject to his wife's relatives, ''I

to learn the value of money and how
to make it as well as spend it. If I

taught in the same practical, common

Men who shouldn't Marry.

NJ Max O'ReIl thinks, on the whole,
that the literary man and the art
ist ought not to marry. 81 have
come across hundreds of cases. he
says, ''where artists and literary eff
forts have been checked, and some
times killed outright, by the petty
cares and worries Of domestic life.
The brain worker is easily irked and
tormented by the most trivial things.
He is irritable and most sensitive.
I have known literary men to put
right off their work for days simply
because devoted women came into
their studies, and after giving them
an encouraging kiss, carried off their
pens to make out their washing list"

Starvation After PLENTY

Farmers, as a rule, accustomed to
raising grain for market, find a good
deal of time for leisure in the winter
months, and when they embark in
the business of feeding cattle are too
often found away from home when
they should be caring for this stock.
To be confined at home day after
day, morning, noon and night, no ex-
ception for Sundays and legal holt
days, does not harmonic with for
mer habits, and the troughs and
racks are filed to OVERLOOKING at one
time, and allowed to remain empty
the next, hunger following surfeit in
regular order.-Farmers' Review.

HINTS FOR SHEPHERDS.

Sheep may be termed the cleaners
or savers of the waste on the farm.
Lambs, wool, mutton and manure
are the four cardinal points of sheep
raising.
Wool is the farm product that
brings the most money in proportion
to what it takes from the farm.
A small ram of good form and
and fleece is better than large one
without these valuable characters
tics.
The practice of selling what man
needs in his business is not consist
ent with sound business policy. IN
sheep raising it is unsound to the
core

A SONS DEVOTION.

Wallace, Mich, August 26th:-A
striking example of a mans dutiful
and attentive care of his mother is
seen in Mr.. Oscar Swanson of this
place.
Mr.. Swanson's mother has suffered
much with Kidney and Urinal Trouble
and Female Weakness. Her son has
sought out and procured for her
everything that he thought could pos
sibly benefit her.
She did not improve, till at last, he
bought her a box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills. In a few days, she was COM
pletely cured, and her faithful son
has the reward for his loving efforts,
in the knowledge that she is now
strong and well.

Bic Angora Goat Farm.

Maryland is soon to have an Angora
goat farm. A tract of 400 acres of farm
land near Cedarville has been pur-
chased by several wealthy men of the
state with the intention of raising
Angora goats on an extensive scale.
A company has been formed and it is
the intention to stock the farm with a
large flock of the goats-probably
5000 in number. The situation is said
to be very favorable to the develop
ment of the Angora goat, and the Off
cial reports of the success attending
their raising in countries other than
that to which they are native encour-
aged the formation of this Angora
goat company.

Pushtng Ptra to Matur,..

In all lines of live stock the tend
ency is more and more towards early
maturity, and it is to the type of hog
best suited for that purpose that. we
should give encouragement. I be-
lieve, as a rule, we are doing so.
This type is as far removed from the
little, understood, fne-boned kind, as
it is from the big, coarse fellows. In
tensive rather than extensive farm
ing is the tendency, and the hog bred
for quality and early maturity is most
surely to be the hog of the future

the poison of honey bee is probably
as intense and as deadly as that of a
rattlesnake, though the quantity Sc
creted by a single individual is too
small to cause any injury beyond a
painful swelling. Many stings, how
ever, are dangerous, and have often
been known to destroy the life of a
human being.
These are Carniolan bees, an i'm

very gentle. If they are not rough
