MICE IN THE ORCHARD.
Unless the "Omen Of Preyention- Ia
Resorted To They May Do
Considerable Damage

Young orchard trees are almost as
likely to be injured by mice in some
parts of the country as by rabbits IN
other places. Sometimes when the
snow goes off in the spring, it is
found that many trees have had
their bark more or less gnawed off by
mice. The injury extends from three
to six inches above the ground and
may entirely encircle the trunk. If
the trees are small and have been
completely girdled, there is little
hope of saving them, especially if a
wide strip of bark has been entirely
removed. With larger trees or small
err injuries, much can be done to re-
pair the damage, if the injured wood
Is not allowed to become dry. The
wound should be Immediately COW
cred with grating wax or a thick
coat of paint and covered by mound
of earth heaped up around it. If the
wound is not too large, it will in time
be covered by new growth of bark.
High manuring and requent cultiva-
ton will hasten this process of re-
pairing the injury.
In this case, as in all others. "an
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
of cure" An orchard should never
be planted in sod, as the surrounding
grass and weeds greatly increase the
danger from mice. If mice are
known to be in the orchard, the
trunks may be covered for distance
of 20 inches from the ground with
wire MOSQUITO NETTING or with .b;,,
wooden veneers, thus affording pro-
lection against rabbits and other
pests also. If this has not been done.
the danger may be greatly lessened
by tramping the snow down hard
around the trees after each storm

in the city, and on the stock exchange
its shares found no buyers, despite
the fact that there was scarce a bro
ker who had not instructions from
anxious, almost panic-stricken clients
to sell out their holdings in that stock.
Electricity was i'm the air. Everyone
talked of electricity, and predicted
that in the near future it would be the
motive power of the entire traffic of
the metropolis. The electric railways
and the prospect of further improve
ments in passenger locomotion had
much to do with the trend of popular
opinion, which was further strength
ened by the advent of a wealthy syn

less plans and estimates for electric

The secretary had just arrived. and
had passed through the clerks office
without acknowledging salutation

The secretary's private secretary

The secretary looked at the young

RULES FOR PRUNING.
Ten Valuable susgestions onered By
III. L.. Messick, N Well-Known
Illinois Expert.

L. The knife or saw should never h.,
Used on fruit or ornamental tree un.
less there are positively good reasons
Tor so doing
Z. Train all trees while young with
central leader or main shoot and
never allow the two main branches to
grow IN such a way as to have the
weight of the trees come upon n
FORK of the main trunk.
8. when branches cross, so as to be
injured by rubbing together, the
weaker of the two should be cut out.
4. When one branch rests on anoth-
er under it, the weaker of the two
should be cut out.
D. suckers or water SPROUTS should
be thinned out before they have made
nluch growth; but if the main
branches are bare, or if the head ia
open IN places, suckers should be al
lowed to grow where they will cover
TINS condition. If parts of the tree
are weak in growth, this weak wood
may be cut out and some of the
suckers allowed to grow in its place.
Inc cause of these sprouts is that tho
sap becomes impeded by the bending
down OF the branches, with weight OF
frnit, by the hot sun striking the
branches, or perhaps by some injury
TO the bark in pruning or GATHERING
the fruit, and nature makes this eff
fort to repair the injury. The re-
moval of all these suckers will soon
result in the death of the tree. while
allowing some of them to grow
where needed will renew the vigor of
the tree.
o. II large branches are TO be re-
moved, make the cut in the middle OF
the enlarged part where it Joins the
nam branch or trunk. and not quite
IN line with the face of the main
branch or trunk
z. Paint all wounds about one-baIf
inch in diameter with linseed oil
pant, gas tar or grating wax.
9. Never cut away the main
branches of tree if it can be avoid
ed, but thin out the head, when it be.
comes crowded, from the outside.
ms can be quickly done with the
pruning hook on long pole, and lit
tie or no injury will result; while if
the large branches are cut from tho
trunk the tree is weakened and 500.
dies, or is broken down.
3. Cut off dead branches as soon
as discovered and cover the wound
with paint to prevent further decay.
10. In training young trees, start
the branches low; the trees will
grow better, the thinning and gath
erlng the fruit will be more easily
done, and the cultivation can be as
well and cheaply done with the mod
ern Acme or spring-tooth harrow
and weeder as if the head were high
er, while the trunk of the tree and
ground under it will be so protected
that growth will be better than if
more exposed.-Midlaud Farmer.

TIMELY FRUIT NOTES.

Glass grown Strawberries must
have sun.
Late tender growth in peach trees
should be cut away, says New
Hampshire grower.
The box is not for culls, but for the
best fruit that can grow on a tree,
remarks an exchange.
According 40 California authorities,
the raisin crop of the state for 1902 is
loo. 100000 pounds and the largest but
one ever grown in the state.
DIR. Saunders, of Canada, has some
crosses of Siberian crab on Tetofsky,
Mcmahon White and other hardy ap-
pies about which he is very sanguine.
Some northern strawberry growers
who are able to secure good price
for their fruit in the season use an
extra thick winter mulch to delay the
spring fruiting as long as possible.

quiet, confident smile, through the
half-dozen or SO of persons who were
waiting TO see the secretary, took his
hat and coat from their cupboard.
and, strange TO say, took his holiday
from that moment instead of waiting

Limited" service, which, according to
the time table, reaches the metropol-

Kings Road station the next morning
at 1880, ten minutes late. A smart
young ticket inspector, who was on
the platform, glanced searchingIy at
the carriages as they passed him, and
as the train pulled slowly out of the
station he jumped on the footboard
and entered a frst-class compartment.
There were only three passengers
In the compartment he had entered
and only one of these, by a casual
glance, paid any attention to his en-
trance. When he had closed the door
he turned to the passenger in the cor
ner on his immediate right.
Your ticket, please" he remarked.
The passenger addressed was deep
ly engrossed in the financial columns
of his paper, and seemingly did not
hear the remark, for he made no re-
ply.
The ticket inspector leaned forward
and touched him gently on the arm.

Blatchley said that he had been sub

had endeavored to be- of assistance to

She gave herself a mental shake. It
was obviously absurd that this myster-

self. Yet it gave her queer sense of
comfort in her helplessness.

has been said that any man who can

of comfort has already fastened its
