Prosaosimg the Frass Trees
E-ssOsEa FROST.

Oae method which is prac-
ticed III California is to keep
he ps Of brushwood, or any
thing that will make a dense
smoke to the wildward Of
the orchard, and upon the ap-
proach Of spring frosts these
are kiadled so as 10 form a
cloud Of smoke over the fruit
ire S. We VII proceed to ex-
plain the reasons why this
smoke protects the blossoms
from frosts, for we notice that
people often neglect advice
when reasons are not un der
stood. We heard man once
say that he did not believe in
smoke protecting fruit trees,
for at a very little distrnce
from the trees there would be
no heat in the smoke. The
clouds of smoke protect the
orchard from frost for this
reason. In cold weather the
and the atmosphere
surrounding the trees give off
heat by means. Of rays of heat
which escape upwards. When
these rays Of heat strike any
thing covering the trees they
are forced back again, and the
heats preserved in the lower
atatmosphere. The clounds of
smoke covetlng the trees in
these upward rays of
leat and thus prevent injury
o the trees. Advertiser.

Remarkable Story vouched For by

snenla1 to Times Repuhlican.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City March 24.--There are
fish stories, ghost stories ana other
stories, but here is one of dog,
which lives on a farm near Clear Lake
whose sympathy for distress OF his
fellow creatures is so marked that he
has been seen carrying food to them,
and reputable farmers of that section
youch for the truth Of the story.
A Mason City gentleman who had
business in the country west OF here,
passed the farm where lived man
who goes on the theory that his cows
could live on east wind, just as we'll
as on his clover hay, and that their
supply of milk would be just as gener-
Gus no matter what the diet. This
dos which lives not far from the farm
OF the hungry cows, was seen on this
particular day dragging large
stalk OF fodder across the field
where this COW stood lonesome and
alone hungry and neglected. Plac-
ms, the stalk in front of her he re-
turned for another one while the old
COW munched the dry provender with
eager relish.
On inquiry the Mason City man
found that this dog which was a
Shepard seemed to have knowledge
of this cows distress and knew she
wanted food and was doing his best
to supply her Not only was he
seen on this day taking food to this
cow but it was said of him that he
has been feeding this COW for some
time. With all due respects to the
nature fakir this story can be vouched
