FRUIT TREES HURT
Farmers Say Starving Rabbits
Are Now Subsisting Off
The Trees.
STRIP MANY OF THE BARK

Many farmers of Wayne county are
deploring the loss of their fruit trees
at present. The heavy fall Of snow
which has blanketed the earth for the
past week has made it practically i'm
possible for rabbits to obtain food and
as result they are resorting to the
fruit trees in an effort to keep alive.
Many fine trees and saplings have
been gnawed and stripped of all their
bark by the little animals. recently, it
is said and have been destroyed in
large numbers.
1t is said that a strong solution COM
posed of lime and sulphur, made into
a thick paint and administered to the
trees is very effective in keeping the
rabbits away. and is being used with
great success by many of the fruit
growers. The severe cold weather of
the past few days has been very hard
on the rabbits and quail of the county
and the population has materially de-
creased. 1t is estimated that hund-
reds Of rabbits and birds have frog
en- or starved to death during the
past week.

RAILROADS AND FARMING.

One of the hopeful aspects of the
general agricultural situation Of the
country over is the interest which
leading railroad officials are taking in
the preaching Of the gospel Of better
type of agriculture. Very naturally
this interest is traceable to the fact
that with agriculture on a better foot
ing and making an increased contribu-
ton to the wealth Of the country busi-
ness will be better in general and the
transportation business In particular.
But this interest is none the less COM
mendable because it 10 partly selfish.
for the benefits accruing viii be first
to agriculture and secondarily to trans
portation companies. President James
J. Hill Of the Great Northern has this
year offered substantial prizes to those
ranchmen in territory adjacent to his
lines for the best exhibits Of agricul-
tural products. and these inducements
have had a very beneficial effect in
arousing interest in better crops. A
few weeks ago in an address before
the Railway Business association in
New York city President W. G. Brown
Of the New York Central railroad stat
ed his intention Of recommending to
the roads with which he was connect
ed the purchase Of farms to be oper-
ated as experimental tracts according
to the most advanced methods Of seed
selection. fertilization and cultivation
at the expense of the road. but under
the direction Of the agricultural col
lege in the state In which the farm is
located. 1t was his hope that this idea
might be adopted by a majority Of the
roads Of the country. Such farms
would serve as object lessons in better
farming and would tend to greatly in
crease the productivity OF land and in

badly damaged and Howard Bark, en-
gineer; Orvil Mains, fireman, and John
GOodson, brakeman, were frightfully

Of agriculture containing the prelim-
crop places the total yield at 2.767.-

estimated average acre yield for the
1909 crop Is 25.4 bushels as against
26.2 bushels for 1908. The quality Of
the crop is placed at SAP per cent as
compared with $50 per cent last year.

Of Interest TO the Farmers

so far Increase its capacity to sustain
and feed a growing population. This
railroad president is on the right track.
and it is to be hoped that his sugges-
tions may be carried out in full. Bet
ter farming-the getting OF more prod
ucts from q given area without soil
depletion-is the greatest single eco-
nomic problem before the American
people today, and too much thought
can hardly be devoted to its solution.
FUEL ECONOMY AND FRESH AIR.
In latitudes where the severity Of
the winter months makes the heating
Of the house one Of the chief problems
there is quite temptation to sacrifice
fresh air in the attempt to reduce fuel
cost to minimum. But this is short
sighted economy. in which doctors
bills. a low physical tone and a gen.
eral feeling Of dumpiness more than
Offset the fuel saved by shutting out 4
reasonable amount Of fresh air. In the
sleeping rooms especially should the
windows be arranged so that there
will be an abundance Of pure and
fresh air. If there is fear Of catching
cold from direct drafts an excellent
plan is to tack a piece OF cheesecloth
to the window frame above the lower
edge as it hangs down to the top Of
the window sash. With this arrange
ment when the upper sash is lowered
the curtain is drawn tight and will
shut out direct drafts. but will allow
the fresh air to percolate through.
Fresh air is absolutely necessary 1t
the physical system is to be kept in
proper condition. but especially should
it be provided in abundance for grow
ing children. In addition to the ven
tilation OF sleeping rooms. as referred
to, it is well at frequent intervals
when the weather is not too cold to
give the house a thorough airing from
cellar to garret. Fresh air is to be had
for nothing. and it should be utilized
more than 1t is for it's health giving
properties.
A FINE HOG PASTURE PLAN.
A very successful Minnesota hog
raiser has 4 plan in the care Of his
hogs which has given him excellent
results and should contain q hint for
hog raisers elsewhere. He believes In
feeding the young pigs largely on rape
and clover, finishing with corn after
ward. He has never lost Z pig from
disease, and he attributes this largely

season he reverses this and puts clover
and rape where the corn was and corn
where the hogs and clover were. The
latter part Of June he sows clover in
the growing corn and follows with a
light cultivation He picks the corn

often the intense cold as the fact that
their food supplies are covered up that
is responsible for the death Of quail.
II, therefore. they seek shelter in the
vicinity Of tho feed lots or sheds they
should be given a kindly welcome by
the farm or ranch owner. as they are
universally recognized as among his
very best bird friends.
Much can be said about the proper
handling Of the farm animals during
the winter months. Very much can
also be boiled down to the statement
that the several kinds Of stock should
be provided dry and comfortable sleep
ing quarters. an abundance Of fresh
air and a fosd ration which will best
enable them to do the work or serve
the purpose which they are supposed
to serve.
The preliminary crop report issued
by the agricultural department at
Warrington places tho average yield
Of potatoes the past season at 1865
bushels per acre as against a yield OF
85.7 bushels for 1909 and 500 bushels
as tho ten year average. The total
production this year is placed at 3e7.-
473.OO0 bushels as compared with 27S.-
9S5.O00 bushels in 1908. The above
figures are very encouraging and seem
to show that the growers Of the Irish
potato are waking up.
An effort is being made by the agri-
cultural department at Washington to
introduce into the United States the
South African calabash, or gourd. the
use Of which Al a pipe bowl was dis

establish . monopoly in the growth Of
the gourd and prevent the expectation
of the seed. but some were brought
over for experimental purposes. Pipes

graceful and distinctive in shape. color
