PROTECT TREES
FROM RABBITS
Many Fruit and Shade Orna.
n1ents Are Lost Annually by
Being GirdIed by Little
Animals.
(BY J. r. MTNDELL.)

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 it 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. 1t is tied on with some
kind of cord, care being taken to tie
it firmly SO it 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, to
which has been added about one-half
pound OF arsenate of lead to each
pailful OF wash. The lime wash is
made in the usual manner by mixing

Adopting a Lamb.

In case an eve loses her lamb she
should be made to adopt 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 1t is
yet warm and place it over the body
of the lamb that is to be adopted, ty-
ing 1t on by wrapping light string
about 1t many times. Then If this lit.

of ten she will adopt it without pro-
test. AS soon as the lamb has sucked
two or three times the skin may be re-
moved and no further diff Guilty will be
experienced.

only buildings that are securely fire
proof.
Tests are now being made by the
United States geological survey in
Washington to determine the strength
and fire resistance of building mate
rails, and. although primarily designed
to meet the needs of the government
as the largest consumer, the results
of these tests are available for general
use By the country at large.
Results already obtained tend to
show that cheaper fireproof materials
can be used and that the practice of
fiimsy construction of buildings will
be discouraged by the small difference
in cost between tireproof and infiam-
mable building materials.
The contrast between the small
losses by fire to government buildings
and the immense losses reported from
the country was responsible for the in
vestigation instituted by the geological
survey as to the fire losses in the
United States and their exact cost to
the people. The findings of this in
vestigation are published by the sur
vey in report made to-day, which is.
In part as follows:
The investigation disclosed the fact
that the total cost of fires in the Uni
ted States in 1907, excluding that of
forest fires and the marine losses. but
including excess cost of fire protec-
ton due to bad construction and ex-
cess premiums over insurance paid
amounted to over $456, 4S5 600, q tax
on the people exceeding the total val
ue Of the gold, silver, copper and Pc
troleum produced in the United States
that year. The cost of building CON
struction in 1907 in ~ leading cities
of the United States reporting to-
tai population OF less than $4,000 900
amounted to 1861 076, 2S6, and the cost
of building construction for the entire
country In the same year is conserva-
lively estimated at ST ,0o0, 900 600. Thus
it will be seen that nearly one-half the
value of all the new buildings con-
structed within one year Is destroyed
by fire The annual fire cost Is great.
er than the value of the real property
and improvements In either Maine,
West Virginia, North Carolina. North
Dakota, South Dakota, Alabama, Lou
isiana or Montana. In addition to
this waste of wealth and natural re-
sources, 1,449 persons were killed and
1854 were injured in fires In the Uni
ted States in 1907.
The direct loss by fires In this coun-
try is eight times as much per capita
as In any country of Europe. The
actual fire loss in the United States
due to the destruction of buildings and
their contents amounted to S215,084,-
709, per capita loss of $251. The
per capita loss in the cities of the six
leading European countries amounted
to BE- SO cents. Comparisons Of the
total cost of fires, which includes the
items already stated, show that If
buildings in the United States were
as nearly fireproof as those in Europe
the annual fire cost would be 100000
600 instead of 100000 900.
