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 ques-
ton, too, of no small consequence.
Winter injury may cone 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 or
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 severe test, the direct,
unobstructed rays of the sun to which
they are not Injured. Wood veneer
makes 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 O;
securing a strong, healthy growth in
the young trees. Plenty of fertility of
the right kind, with good culture, tends
to produce 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 very effectual
remedy.
Having the orchards free from rub
bish and above all, having the ground
about the tree for several feet around
free of covering with grass or weeds,
is a point worth considering, says the
Ohio Farmer Notice the runs" made
by mice in clover field where the
aftermath has been allowed to accum-
ulate, upon the going Of snow in the
spring. They may be seen running in
every direction. We should take the
hint and see that no such favorable
conditions shall lead the rascals right
up to the base of the unprotected
young fruit trees.

a Butterfly Wedding.

Something entirely away from the
conventional is the butterfly wedding.
which is especially appropriate for
Easter time. At this wedding the but
terfly idea can bee introduced in many
novel ways. Let us say the color
scheme is white and gold. The maid of
honor may wear Il Princess robe of
white radia silk made with "A demi

may be of white chiffon velvet border
ed with an inset of white lace. with
here and there interviewer a cleaning
thread of gold. At the corsage have an
embroidered butterfly worked i'm gold
and heavy white silk threads Stalks
of Easter lilies should be carried with
this costume.
To further carry out the butterfly
idea the bridesmaids should wear
white chiffon cloth frocks embroidered
with small gold butterflies; the butter
flies used as thinning fo; the bot
tom of the skirts, and perhaps one
embroidered to look as if it had lust

work has been continuous and decreased

/ took year and a half and dozens OF
camps and hundreds Of men.
The geological survey was completed
in 1896. The survey for allotment and
appraisement was begun in 1899 and
completed two years later.
The size of the latter task is under
stood when one considers that there are
$1,000 square miles in the Indian terri

be surveyed by the appraisers and classi-

HIS THIRD SET OF TEETH.

That City.

Omaha, Neb.-To be cutting a third
set OF teeth while the second set is fair
~ well preserved is a record of which

the toothache pretty bad many years
ago. a man knew gave me some stuff
to put In EN- and finally the ache quit
and they never bothered me again"
There are five new teeth and they are
ali incisors. They are coming in be
tween the old double anteriors and peer
forth like rice grains among the older
teeth. The cutting OF them does not
seem TO AFFECT him in any way For two
years they have been coming. one at a

around with any of these boughten teeth

Every indication would tend to

tinue TO grow new teeth as fast as
the old ones drop out. They push

Dentists who have seen Mr.. Fox and
