PROTECT TREES
FROM RABBITS
Many Fruit and Shade Orna.
ments Are Lost Annually by
Being GirdIed by Little
Animals.
CBY J. f. MUNDELLJ

Many fruit and shade trees are lost
annually by being girded by rabbits.
The season in which most of the dam
age is done is during the winter
months.
With regard TO remedies. there are
several advocated and these are usual
ly OF two forms. The trunk OF the tree
is either painted with some solution
or wrapped with some material Many
patent protectors are on the market,
such as wire coils and thin sheets OF
wood. The wire coil protector slips
over the tree and can be left on the
year around and until the tree gets
too large for the coil. Then IL must
be removed When the sheets of
wood are used they are put on the
tree in the fall and are removed in
the spring. A strip of the wood suf-
ficiently large TO extend around the
tree is used. It h. tied on with some
kind Of cord care being taken 10 tie
ii firmly so IL will stay. There are
many other methods OF protecting
trees than the above, two of which
are here described. These are as fol
lows:
Paint the trunks OF the trees with
lime wash made rather thick. 20
which has been added about one-half
pound OF arsenate of lead 10 each

Adopting a Lamb.

In case an eve loses her lamb she
should be made TO adopt a twin. and
this is often a difficult thing to do. One
OF the best methods is to strip the
skin from the dead lamb while II is
yet warm and place it over the body
OF the lamb that is to be adopted, ty-
ing it on by wrapping a light string
about It many times. Then If this lit
tie orphan in another's clothing is
placed with the mother. nine times out
of ten she will adopt 1t without pro-
test. AS soon as the lamb has sucked
two or three times the skin may be re-
moved and no further difficulty will be
experienced.

10000 AMERICAN
SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA
THE YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN
INCREASE OF OVER EIGHTY
PER CENT IN AMERICAN
SETTLEMENT.

Recent advices from Canada, our
next door neighbour. the neighbourly
country across the boundary line.
are that upwards Of ninety thousand
settlers from the United States went
into Western Canada during the past
year. most OF them for the purpose OF
taking up am settling upon the va
cant lands, 100 acres OF which are
given free by the government. and
lands adjoining held by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine TO fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even If thirty and forty dollars
per acre were paid, the price would be
low, as the lands produce wonderfully,
and at these higher figures there is
large interest on the money and labor
invested. The ninety thousand set
tiers of last year. followed about sixty
thousand Of the previous year. and for
several years the number has been
running into these large figures. There
must be reason for It. 1t may be
found in the single phrase. they are
satisfied" Nothing attracts people
more than the success OF others, and
the news OF this reaching other thou
sands. causes them to investigate. The
investigation in this case is always
satisfactory. The splendid land of
Iowa, Of Indiana. OF Nebraska. Kansas.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio
and other States has risen to a high
value, and 1t is worth every dollar
asked for II. But there is not room
now for all on these lands. With the
ever increasing demand for grain,
there comes the ever increasing de.
mand for land. Canada is the only
country on the continent in a position
TO supply it, Land there that costs,
say fifteen dollars an acre, produces
on reasonable calculation, 25 bushels
Of wheat to the acre, or about $4,000.
The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost TO produce $3.50 per
acre, leaving a balance of $3.50 per
acre. The $3.50 carries good wages
for the farmer, and all other conceiv-
able contingencies. With conditions
like this. covering the entire area OF
about 100000 square miles, 1t is read
fly understood why 10000 Americans
should follow the sixty thousand of
the previous year. Canadian Govern
ment Agencies at different points in
the Union are always ready to give In
formation regarding the free home
stead lands. ready to advise the set
tier as to the districts which would
suit him best.
