FARM TRACTORS APPROVED.

10 Meeting With Favor,

The farm tractor is an innovation in
modern agriculture which has come
to stay. 1t is winning its way with the
ruralist by virtue Of its deeds. That
the machine speaks for itself is admit
ted by farmers who have used 1t. The
open sesame TO the pocketbook Of tile
farmer is in the proof that an implc-
ment effects lessened cost Of pro-
duction through the saving Of labor,
human or horse.
The improvement in its mechanical
efficiency and adaptability to agricul.
tural environs has been remarkable. It
has been the result Of the farmers
urgent demand for power at once
ready. facile of operation and econom.
ical.
The farm tractor is used for drawing
loads. digging bitches. fitting fields,
gathering harvests. pumping water,
churning butter. building roads and
saving wood.-Ncw York Times.

Farm Advice and Suggestion
TO PROTECT PEACH TREES
DURING THE WINTER TINE
Banking With Earth Recommended ~
Method Of Guarding Ada.nst Work
Of Mies-hew to Go About It

About this time Of the year people
usually begin To inquire about some
sure method OF preventing mice from
working round yorns peach trees
From several years experience We
have found what we believe to be q
IA ther sure method of warding off
this evil, says u correspondent OF the
Country Gentleman. About the latter
part OF October or the beginning OF
November we take all the trash and
weeds from round the trees we are
protecting and throw six or seven
shoveifuls Of dirt-that Is, real dirt
with no grass in it-round the bottom
OF each tree. This earth must be
tranped and should form a mound
five or six inches high tight against
the trunk. Unless the ground is In Il
very wecdy condition the whole opera.
ton does not take over two minutes.
At this rate an orchard OF several
acres can be cared for in few hours
spare time.
Some four years ago we had be-
tween three and four acres of peach
trees that were two and three years
old. Some of the trees had been SO
badly giriled that they died and many
of the others were stunted so that it
took them a whole year to make up
the lost growth. We plowed furrOw
about a foot away from the base of
the tree on each side OF it. taking care
not to 20 close enough or deep enough
to fnjure the roots seriously. This
work was done with one horse plow
such as is used for close working in
the orchard. By doing 1t this way
much time is saved as less handwork
is necessary. However. in many IN
stances this plan cannot be followed.
because the heads OF the trees are too
low to allow horse to pass under
them.
Another advantage derived from
this method Of banking dirt round n
tree Is that such bank tends to hold
the tree solidly in place in the winter
and spring, when the winds are doing
their best to loosen and upset every
tree that is ont in the open. No tree
is going TO do we'll if the little feeder
roots are worked loose from the soil
into which they have made their way,
and this Is especially true of a young
tree.
There Is no need of taking down
the bank In the spring, for it can 90
no harm and will naturally he worked
