WINTER PROTEeTTON OF YOUNG
APPLE TREES.


The Nebraska Faruee SivoD tho bollow-
ing directions Tor caring Tor young sppls
trees from ono who has had experience
In that line:
"While there sre . great many different
washes and soaps on the market to keep
pests from girdling fruit trees, . very
simple and edicient method IL . follows:
Firle clean away BY pulling Ill weeds
close around the trees, then wrap loosely
sround ~ body of eseh trees pises of
tar paper, that will completely cover it
from tho ground up the tree distance
OF DOT less than tvo feet six inches high.
This fasten at both ends with . piece Of
stove pipe wire. Never use binder twine
or . cord Of any description. as it 10 apt
to rot OF break, or be cut by mice. leav-
ing tho paper loose, which would destroy
tho protection.
Proceed with the job Of wrapping tho
trees in tho following manner: First,
ind out how many trees you wish to
protect: then cut the desired number OF
pieces Of tar paper the right length, and
vide enough to 60 around each tree at
least once and half times, and with .
pair Of cutting pliers cut . sufficient
number OF wires to fasteu the papers,
then you are ready for business.
BY preparing al the material before
you start, you will fnd it but . small job
to put il on and no tools will be needed,
except the hand that shucks from sev-
enty-five to ono hundred bushels OF
corn per day"

Our readers will remember mention
OF the tragic death Of Mrs. Drapels at
Schuyler on September last. She was
killed by . fast passenger train while
standing on crossing in that city await
ing the arrival Of her daughter and SON.
in-law coming on another train, who had
come to Columbus and been married
that day by Judge Ratterman. The city
Of Schuyler brought suit against the
engineer Of the train, Matthew Decker,
and Monday OF last week in police court,
he was fined $50 and costs for running q
train through the city at q greater speed
than eight miles IN hour, contrary to the
city ordinance. The Schuyler Quill says:
"Decker pleaded not guilty and the
defense moved to have the case dismissed
On tho grounds that tho ordinance VA
detective. in that it prohibits . railroad
from running trains ut . greater speed
than eight miles IN hour and an indi.
vidual was arrested for the crime. The
magistrate held that the ordinance VA
good and overruled tho motion. Engi.
neer Decker was the only witness for the
defense. He said he was working undel
theimmediats direction OF the conductor
Of the train; received his orders from the
conductor and looked to him for orderl
only. Attorney Wertz summed up the
evidence in . few words and Attorney
Phelps attacked tho prosecution for fail.
ing to prove the ordinance, it not being
offered in evidence. He also claimed j,
va the conductor and not the eugineel
who should be tried, as he gave the
ordeFs and the engineer was only carry
ing out the orders Of . superior officer
Wertx replied to tho argument on th.
grounds that all police magistrates
should take judicial notice Of ordinances
in their cities or towns. Without hesi
tating Judge Sutherland found tho de
fendant guilty - charged. Tho cas-
vas Immediately appealed to the dis
