THE YOUNG FRUIT TREES.
Care During the Winter to Prevent
Sun-Scald and Other
Injuries.

During the winter season the ques-
ton of winter injury to young fruit
trees again comes up, and it is a ques'
ton, too, of no small consequence,
Winter injury may come from three
sources, namely, sun-scald, rabbits
and mice. In the aggregate the loss
by injury from these three sources
must be something enormous. All
young fruit trees are liable to attack
from one or all of these. None may
escape.
Sun-scald is caused by the alternate
freezing and thawing of the bark
while the wood and root system is in
a frozen and dormant state. When in
jured by sun-scald the bark turns
black, dies and often separates entire
ly from the wood. To prevent injury
from this cause it is necessary only to
protect the trunk and limbs from the
direct rays of the sun. Prof. Bailey
recommends the use Of wire cloth OF
some material that will obstruct the
suns rays without entirely checking
them, as in the latter case the bark
has no opportunity to become grad.
ually used to the suns rays.
Care, too, should be exercised in
pruning. The removal of a large
amount of top subjects the remaining
branches to a sever test, the direct
unobstructed rays of the sun to which
they are not Injured. Wood veneer
makes a cheap and effective protection
against injury from sun-scald. This
material may be had from most berry.
box manufacturers.
In the matter of growth and proper
care much may be done in the way oil
securing a strong, healthy growth in
the young trees. Plenty of fertility OF
the right kind, with good culture, tends
to produce a normally matured growth
of wood, which is better able to stand
the vicissitudes of the seasons than
an immatured, sappy growth.
Some growers set the trees so that
the trunks incline to the southwest,
the force of the suns rays being thus
diminished by the acute angle. Low
headed trees appear to suffer less than
those with high trunks, both from sun
scald and severe winds. In the mat
ter Of protection against injury from
mice and other vermin, either the
wire cloth or wood veneer will prove
effective. But to be effective against
the attacks of rabbits the protection
will need to reach two or three feet
from the ground, for, as the SHOWS OF
winter accumulate, the rabbits are en-.
abled to reach higher.
AS against injury from mice, tramp
ing the snow about the base Of the
tree or banking the tree with earth
sometimes proves to be q very effectuaI
remedy.
Having the orchards free from rub
bish and above all, having the ground
about the tree for several feet around
free of a covering with grass or weeds
Is a point worth considering, says the
Ohio Farmer. Notice the runs made
by mice in a clover field where the
aftermath has been allowed to accum
ulate, upon the going of snow in the
spring. They may be seen running il
every direction. We should take the
hint and see that no such favorable
conditions shall lead the rascals RICH
up to the base of the unprotected
young fruit trees.

GROWING ALFALFA.
Several Points to Be Noted by the
Farmer as Suggested by Elk

In bulletin 46, just issued, J. H. Girls

summarizes the points to be noted in
growing alfalfa as follows.
1. Sow sufficient seed.
2. Sow good seed; that is, germinable
seed.
8. Sow on w~ell-prepared land in good
state of fertility.
4. Sowing without nurse crop over
comes in some measure poverty of soil.
8. Proper preparation Of the right
kind of seeded and careful observance
Of directions for first year treatment

remunerative crops.
6. Before sowing be sure that a SUN.

Z. Do not sow on poorly drained land;

Identification for Warships.

The German admiralty has resolved
upon furnishing ships of war with
means for recognizing each others
identity at distances too great for read
ing the name of the vessel. This is to
be effected by the use of rings or bands
on the c~himney-stack, differing in
number and color. The colors used
will be black, white, red and yellow.
According to several liberal German
journals, the ships of the opposing
~squadrons frequently mistook a friend
for an enemy during the recent maneu-
vers, owing to the absence of any
means of Identification.

MoRR1srowN. n. j., Aug. 5.-Beautiful
old elm trees in many streets in this city
are dying. The attractiveness Of the town
is being seriously affected thereby, and
residents in many sections have sent leaves
to foresters and Government experts for
analysis as to the probable cause.
In Elm street, which is one Of the fashion
able thoroug hfares, several fine trees are
dead. E ntomologist Smith Of the State
Agriculture station at New Brunswick,
says the trouble may be due to the severe
winter Of 1908 and 1904, followed by the in
tense heat last July, which has exhausted
the vitality Of the trees. But the opinion
has been advanced that a leakage in the
gas mains running through the streets is
responsible. Several years ego large
number Of elm trees on South street and
Ridg edale avenue died from that cause.
