Winter Protection Of strswberr

Winter Protection Of Strawberry.
In the northern states strawberries
need some protection in the winter
by light covering, say two or three
inches, of straw. leaves or any litter
that will shade the ground and hold
the snow, says Matthew Crawford.
This should be put on late In the fall,
and removed from over the plants
about the time they start into growth
in the spring. 1t may be left between
them and In the paths as mulch.
The main want of the strawberry at
fruiting time is water. and this is an
excellent moue of keeping the ground
moist. 1t also keeps the fruit clean.

Concrete Pit Wall.

around the tree. SO that the entire
trunk might be free from dirt. as 1t
was originally.
The construction OF the reinforced
concrete wall Is very simple. After
the hole was dug to the desired width
and squared properly, the posts for
the railing were set SO that they rest
ed on the bottom Of the hole and ex-
tended about four feet above the
ground. These posts were connected
each by four cross pieces, two below
the ground and two above. which made
q sort of fence around the tree. The
false work to hold the cement ir
place until it was set was SO con-
structed that the part Of the posts be-
low the ground. as well as the cross
pieces connecting them, would be
half embedded in the concrete. This
concrete wall. approximately nine
inches in thickness. was reinforced
with strong iron wire cut to the re-
quired length. and put In place in the
manner Of open network while the
concrete was being poured. Braces
extended from the tree to the boards
wherever 1t was deemed necessary. 10

Now, Bunny" Benny would

But Bunny would not say a
word. He would come close and
take what Bennu gave him TO
eat-but he never, never acted as
if he wanted to be friendly with
Iommy.
Every time that Benny went out
to feed Bunny, Tommy would fol-
low.
When Benny and Tommy re-
turned to the house after these
visits, Benny would say to Tom
my:
You must try to be friends
with Bunny. Bunny is good
chap; but he was raised out of
doors and he doesn't understand
our ways"
Tommy would come close to
Benny and show how much he
liked Benny-but this did not
satisfy Benny.
Benny was very glad to be
friends with Bunny and Tommy.
BUT he wanted Bunny and Tom
my to be friend with EACH
OTHER. This shows that Benny
was a very fine little man-oh!
had forgotten to tell you that
Benny is a boy. Tommy is a cat,
and Bunny a rabbit.
Now you will understand what
a hard job it was for Benny to
coax Tommy and Bunny to make
UP.
After a while Bunny acted so
afraid when he saw Tommy that
Benny tried to make Tommy stay
in the house when he went out
to Bunny's little house to feed
Bunny. But Tommy nearly al
ways managed in some way to
get OF. He would sit and watch
Bunny eat Jumps of sugar, pieces
of bread, carrots and cabbage
leaves as Benny fed them to him.
When Benny would tell his
mother how afraid Bunny was,
and how Tommy ruffled UP the
hair on his back when he saw
Bunny, she would kiss her little
boy and tell him that IL was be-
cause Bunny and Tommy were
iealous-which was NOT a good
thing for Benny's mother to say;
for We should know nothing at
all about being jealous, any of
Us!
Finally Tommy's pussy wife
|died-and left five little mother
less kittens-and how worried
Tommy was! Tommy was about
the busiest cat in the village,
catching mice and frogs and even
little fishes for them. But, of
course, ihe did not know very
we'll how to care for little kit
tens.
Benny's mamma soon taught
the little ones to eat milk out
of a saucer-but still they want
ed mother and CRIED for one.
This is where Benny's dream
came into good use.
Getting up early after the
dream he took the little basket
in which the kittens slept and
carried it to Bunny's house-and
will you believe that Bunny
GLADLY adopted the kittens?
1t is TRUE.
