KEEP ORCHARD FREE OF TRASH.
The Only Safe Way to Keep Trees
from Injury by Rodents and Insects.

In regard to the protection of fruit
trees from rodents, my experience
has been that most people neglect to
do anything for the protection of their
trees until it is too late and then get
discouraged and do not try to raise
their own fruit, being more interested
in the production of good hog or
calf than in the comforts of their fam
lily (until the agent comes along again
and sells them some more trees)
Well. 1 have known Of one instance
where certain neighbor sowed his
orchard to wheat Just before the
wheat was ready to cut the rabbits
barked almost every tree. This was
In June, mind you. They must have
had queer constitutions to have need
ed the bark at that time OF the year.
These trees, think, had been set out
two or three years.
My experience is that the rabbits
prefer the very small trees. al
though they will sometimes gnaw
quite large ones. But there is no
limit to the size of tree that a mouse
will try his teeth on. While examin-
ing trees for borers / have found
trees from 25 to 80 years old that had
been gnawed by mice. ! would con-
slider the surest remedy against them
to be to keep your orchard so clean
of trash. grass, weeds, etc, as TO leave
no hiding place for them.
/ should say that most rodents pre-
fer the apple, pear and ounce to
most other kinds of trees; but l find
that rabbits will invite their friends to
a picnic whenever they happen to find
rose bushes unprotected. Iuse chicken
