has ceased to increase in heat and
the temperature begins to define,
take the manure into the cellar and
pack it in beds or barrels.
We show three methods of maxi

manure bed made on a shelf. When
this is done the manure should not
occupy the entire shelf, as some
room should be left for straw or hay
as a covering. The second shows a
tub made from a BARREL filled with
manure and spawned. The third
shows a bed simply heaped against
the side of the wall in the cellar.
After the beds are made the spawn
should be put in two inches deep, in
pieces about as big as the finger and

Trouble Cue to Neglect II Protecting
Trees on South and West sides
In Winter Time.

We do not appreciate sometimes
what it means to neglect our trees.
Take a tree which is headed high, for
instance. The trunk of the tree is ex.
posed to the rays of the south and west
sun during the winter season, and
many persons think nothing of this.
Yet tests have proven that the temper
allure of the bark on the southwest side
OF a tree trunk thus exposed is % de-
grees higher than the temperature of
the atmosphere. This has been dem
onstrated by inserting a small Their
mometer beneath the bark. Now. sup
pose the temperature of the atmos-
phere is so degrees, which is frequent
ly the case in some days during the
winter, when the sun is bright. Add %
degrees to this, and you have the tenn
p%erature of the bark at 70 degrees.
Now, at his atmosphere the bark can
start to grow, and the sap become ac-
tive. This condition exists during the
day, but at night the temperature
drops, the bark is bound to be affected,
and damage results. A few days Of
this condition. and by relaxing and con
tracing the bark has become loosenec
from thetrunk and dies. Thus we have
the condition known as sunscald
which many persons have supposed
was caused in the summer season
when as a matter of fact the damage
was done in the winter. A sun-scaldee

Winter is the time toprepareforsum-

vide himself with crates to handle his
next crop. They r handy in the field

work or trouble.
The crates described hold about 2h
bushels; the feet of one fit into the top
of the one next below, SO that they may
be stacked up to the ceiling.
Two crates should be made first, and
one Of these taken apart to serve as
pattern pieces when it is known that
they are exactly right. Material for

Trees from the. Nursery.

If Young trees are received from the
nurseryman be. careful and not expose
the roots to the action Of dry winds,
AS many insects and diseases may be
distributed from nurseries all trees
should be very carefully examined, no
matter how young they may be. When
setting them out prepare theland well,
and give the roots plenty of room. Use
no manure, but place the top soil next
the roots. Shorten back the tops, so
as to be able to shape the trees in the
future, and also for the purpose of pro-
yidine more nourishment at the start.

Winter is the time to grow mu;h-

time is not the best for growing this
delicious vegetable on account of the
hosts of insects that prey upon it.
In the winter insects are absent.
Moreover, this is the time of year
