destroy, more newly planted trees
than any other single caAse. with
which the tree planter has to con-
tend. In the western part Of the
state the jack rabbits are especially
destructive and 1t Is beyond reason
to expect newly planted Fruit or
forest trees to survive their attacks
unless well protected.
Perhaps the simplest and cheapest
method is that Of wrapping the stem
of each tree with a strip Of building
paper. This costs but little and is
easily and quickly applied. Before
going to the field the paper should be
cut in strips wide enough to insure
two wraps of the stem. To hold the
paper securely In place 1t should be
tied in at least two places with gooG
strong cord.
Amy of the ordinary building pa
pers will Withstand the exposure
throughout an entire winter and the
summer 1t will gradually
break down and disappear without
having to be taken off. The cord
will lose its strength and break un-
der the pressure of the trees, as the
latter increases in diameter. The
cord has this advantage over a wire
lie. Unless the wire is removed, in
line it cuts and Injuries the tree very
seriously.
To protect the tree against early
attacks they should be wrapped at
,nce. II this work is delayed until
alter in the season, as is often the
,ase, many of the trees will be grid
ed that might well be saved by ear
Ter wrapping.

HISTORIC HOMESTEAD BURNED.
Building Dating Back to Dawn Of 10th
Century Destroyed by Fire.

Rutland, Feb. 16.--The Dyer home.
stead, located about two miles south
of this city, owned by Mrs. Horace II
Dyer and Major II. Edward Dyer and
occupied by Mrs. Dyer, was totally des-
troyed by fire about noon today. II
was one of the oldest houses in this
vicinity and was onesof the most sight
ly farm residences in the county. The
house was built in 1908 by Edward
Dyer, grandfather of Maj. Dyer
The property loss is placed at $4,000
but the house was filled with heir
looms, many of which dated back to
the colonial period and it was the loss
of these relics which will be most
felt. Among them was a large collec-
tion of arrow heads and other Indian
relics of the revolutionary times and
also relics collected by the major in
his trips with the Vermont National
Guard.
The fire started in the attic and
when discovered, had such a start that
it was evident from the first that the
building was doomed Mrs. Dyer tel
ephoned to this city for assistance and
a fire engine was sent down The
only water available was from a well
located on steep side hill in the rear
of the house and something about the
engine was disarranged when it was
finally hauled into place and it refused
to work. A large number of neigh
bors assisted in carrying out the fur
niture from the lower part of the
house, as long as possible and then
turned attention to saving the large
barn, which was located only sixty
feet from the house. This was done
by the bucket brigade, the men suffer
ing greatly from the intense heat. The
building was badly scorched.
Extensive repairs had been made to
the farm house within the last two
years and the whole place had been
transformed to a beauty spot Mrs
Dyer is a prominent member of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton and she took great pride in her
collection of relics, all of which were
lost. Only two weeks ago, two large
barns located on a farm owned by the
Dyer estate were burned.

time was thought to be quite seri-
Gus by the physician in charge and
it was not thought that she would
live through the night, but having
pulled through until Friday, the
doctors believed that her strong con-
stitution would enable her to over
come the drug. Saturday night
however, her case took a turn for
the worse and all hope was given up

AULD EXONERATED
Sentence of Court Martial RENTED
BY Acting Secretary of the Navy.

BY Acting Secretary of the Navy.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 11.-Acting
Secretary of the Navy Winthrop dispos-
ed today of the court martial cases
of Paymaster George p. Aud, U. s. N,
and Past Assistant Surgeon Ansey II.
Robnett, U. S. n. The officers named
were tried at the Boston navy yard re-
Gently on charges preferred by Medi-
cal Director Howard E. Ames, in con-
nection with an incident occurring at
a dance given December IL last by
Ames, at his residence, at which DR..
Edward s. Cowles Boston physician
was insulted. Both officers were
found guilty and sentenced by the
court to loss of five numbers.
Paymaster Auld was exonerated
completely and the loss of numbers
RENTED by Assistant Secretary Win
throp. Sentence in the case of Sur
geon Robnett was mitigated from a
loss of five points to the loss of two
numbers.
In disposing of Auld's case Secre-
tary Winthrop said;
THE conduct and action of Aud, as
shown by the evidence introduced be-
fore the court, are deserving of severe
censure. The complaining witness,
whether or not Objectionable to GER
tain members of the committee, was
an invited guest, and while in the yard
should have been treated with proper
courtesy. The department deeply
regrets that Auld should have permit
ted himself to behave in such an un-
dignified an unseemly manner, and is
of the opinion that the court properly
found him guilty of conduct unbecom-
ing an officers and a gentleman.
"In view of the fact, however, that
although his conduct cannot be justi-
fed, motives that actuated him were
commendable and an assault occur
red after considerable provocation, the
loss of numbers adjudged by the court
is hereby RENTED, and Auld will be
released from arrest and restored to
duty
Secretary's Winthrop's comment on
the Robnett case was as follows:
THE proceedings, subject to re-
marks made thereon by the judge ad-
vocate general and the finding and
sentence re approved.
owing to the peculiar circumstan-
ces of the case and the great provo
cation given to the accused by the
complaining witness the sentence is
mitigated to loss of two numbers in
his grade, and Robnett will be releas-
ed from arrest and restored to his
duties"
