GUARD YOUNG
rn. FRUIT TREES
II Mulched and Not Properly Pro-
tected Much Damage Will Have
Been Done BY Mice-Bcst Ma.
teriaI Ia Wire Screening.
CBy W. A. PATRICK.)


II your young trees were mulched
last fall and not properly protected
from mice and rabbits. you will prob
ably be surprised when you visit the
orchard to find that many OF them
have been ruined. Mulch Is n good
thing for the trees. but 1t is also n
good thing for mice. rs It affords
them the best protection during the
winter and they gather in large num-
bers around the foot Of the trees and
eat away the bark.
Protection is easy. The best mate
rial is wire screening. although some
use tarred paper and veneer from
wood. Some orchardists practice
tramping snow around the base OF
their trees. but oftentimes this is neg
lected and the trees are injured be.
fore the work is accomplished. The
protectors should be pressed into the
ground deep enough to prevent the
mice from crawling under. Person.
ally I prefer wire screening. but In
case tarred paper is used 1t should be
promptly removed In the spring TO
prevent injury from scalding.

(By II. J. ChOSbf.)
To show that plants absorb mois-
ture from the soil. take two one-quart
tin cans as near alike as you can get
them and punch holes in the bottoms
for drainage. Secure enough garden
soil to fill both cans, mix 1t thorough
ly, and sift 1t to remove pebbles and
clods. Fill both cans level full Of
loose soil. which should then be packed
by jarring each can three times on
the table or floor. 1t is important to
have the soil packed alike in both
cans. Weigh the flied cans. and If
one is heavier than the other. take
out enough soil to bring them to the
same weight. Plant five or six kernels
of corn in one can. water both cans
alike, and set them aside for the corn
to grow. Whenever water is applied
to the can containing corn. an equal
amount should be, applied to the
other can in order to keep both soils
in about the same physical condition.
When the corn Is three or four inch.

place where the corn will continue to
grow rapidly. Weigh the cans twice
on the following day-morning and
afternoon-and record the weights.
keep this up for three or four days.
or until the corn begins to suffer from
lack of moisture. Water again and
continue as before. You will probably
find that the can containing the grow.
ing plants loses moisture much more
rapidly than the other.
This experiment may be performed
In another way by using flower pots
instead Of tin cans. When the corn is
three or four inches high. get two lard
pals or cans Just large enough to
take in the pots to their rims. Mark
on the outside Of the pals the depth
to which the pots will extend on the
inside. and nt a point one inch above
each mark made a dent which can
be distinctly seen on the inside OF
the pail. Now fill each pail with
water up to the dent. water both pots
thoroughly, and set them in the pals
as shown in the figure. Set both
pals and pots in a warm. light place
SO that the corn will continue to grow
The next day remove the pots. and
you will find that the water is not up
to the dents. you will conclude. and
naturally. that the soil has taken ur

In order to show that plants give

tumbler large enough to cover the
plant. cut n slit in the cardboard and
draw 1t around the plant. seal the

II moisture does not condense read
fly inside the glass, cool the glass by
exposing 1t to n current of cold air or
by wrapping 1t for minute or two
in a cloth wrung out OF cold water.
The outside OF the glass should then
be dried SO the moisture on the out
side will not obscure that within.
