for life, we are sorry to learn. While

-Ifthe bard winter is causing rabbits
to nibble the bark of trees, such actions
can be very easily prevented, according to
DR.. II. A. Surface, the State Zoologist,
who has been getting letters from farmers
all over the state about injury to their
young trees. DIR. Surface declares that
the best way to treat such pests is to kill
them, but that If 1t cannot be done
strong solution of lime and sulphur
should be sprayed over the trees. Pure
white linseed oil painted on the trees will
also make the rabbits so sick that they
will leave the trees alone. OF course the
DR.. doesn't mean by this that bunny
should be destroyed on mere suspicion.
