Very often when spring approaches
ers find many of their young trees
have been seriously injured, the bark
has been gnawed off the trunk, half,
two-thirds or entirely around. This
may have been done by mice, rabbits
muskrats or some other rodents. Such
hard winters when the snow Is UNI
usually deep and the animals have
difficulty in finding plenty of food
and they fall upon the bark of these
trees as a last resort to satisfy their
appetites.
a great many young orchards have
been planted in the last few years ad.
jacent 10 wood lots or cut-oyer lands
where rabbits abound: others have
been allowed to grow up to grass and
weeds where mice may have become
numerous, and others have been
planted near swamps or marshes
where muskrats are plentiful. If the
coming winter should be long and Sc
we're and the snow deep, hundreds of
these trees are liable to be partially
or wholly girdled before spring If
this injury is to be avoided, now is
the time to do It. There are several
different kinds of material used to
protect the bark of young trees from
such creatures, such as tar paper,
wood veneer. wire mosquito netting,
galvanized wire netting (four meshes
to the inch), wire coils and pieces Of
cornstalks. All have their merits and
defects.
The wood veneer or tar paper pro.
tectors can be secured in large guam
titles at about three-quarters to a cent
apiece and they are very good They

mice. rabbits, etc, but they also pro-

THE Kiowas jumped from their Platte encamp

Old Blue Dog went with them, somewhat to the
amazement Of the soldiers. He had always been
fairly friendly TO the whites. Well, there were
fights and skirmshes, and finally the Kiowas
were pretty thoroughly smashed The stage in
