FIGHT THE RODENTS.
Inspect the Orchard Frequently Dur
ing the Winter Months.

Every man that has orchard trees
should go over the orchard frequently
in the winter to make sure that his
trees are not being attacked by any
kind of animals. II every man would
do that, large numbers of trees would
be saved. Often the trees are being
injured under the crust OF snow. One
man had hundreds of small trees
killed In single winter. The snow
lay few inches deep and above 1t
formed a strong crust. There was
much grass in the orchard, and this
formed the home of many field mice.
They had become hungry and worked
their way under the crust to the trees,
which they proceeded to attack under
the snow. Had the owner dug away
the snow from around his trees
enough to make sure they were not
being attacked. the mice would have
been discovered at work, and their
mischief stopped before 1t had gone
far. On plowed land or In orchards
where clean culture has been fol-
lowed, there Is little danger of this,
but most of the orchards are In grass
and 30 are liable to these attacks.

The Potato Crop.

The potato crop is one of the best
crops that any farmer can grow. Po-
tatoes exhaust the land little In com.
parison with the money value OF the
crop. The tubers are composed very
largely Of water and starch. and the
leaves and salks fall on the field and
are plowed In. There are few diseases
that attack the potato, and they can
mostly be controlled by spraying

WINTER DARN THOUGHTS.
Have the Comfort of Live Stock |,
Mind and Provide Good Conditions.

Mind ana Provide Cood CONDITIONS.
Winter is hard time for the stock
of the farm, the best way we can fix
1t. When you stop to think that natur-
ally stock are out-of-door creatures,
roaming in the fields, breathing the
pure, fresh air, and then think how
changed are the conditions when they
come to be shut up In tight barns for
such a long portion Of the year, II be-
comes evident that the tendency must
be toward weakness and disease. So
1t stands us in hand to make the con.
ditions just as nearly like those of
summer as we can. That is, we should
do our best to give the stock good
feed, feed that shall be nourishing,
and at the same time plenty of air
that Is free from disease germs.
1t must be that great deal of the
sickness, such as tuberculosis, comes
from breathing the same air over and
over again in the close stables of our
country.
BY running a board shaft from the
| stable, very near to the floor clear up
to the roof. we may take a good deal
Of the impure air out. You know
that air that has been breathed once
becomes heavier than 1t is at first.
There are loads Of impurity in simply
air that has been used In the lungs
of man or beast. This settles toward
the floors. The shaft have spoken
of will take that air, and there being
more or less of a draft through such
a shaft, the foul air will be lifted out
while pure air will come In from be.
low.
This pure air ought not to come in
so that the cattle must stand all the
time in n draft. The windows should
be arranged so that they may furnish
air without bringing a draft Again
these windows ought to be windows
and not simply board slides. Good
sash windows that are fitted with
hinges to turn up out of the way are
by far the best. They let in light
