Farm Advice and Suggestion
TO PROTECT PEACH TREES
DURING THE WINTER TIME
Banking With Earth Recommended as
Method Of Guarding Against Work
Of Mice-HoW 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 yoIng peach trees.
From several years experience we
have found what we believe to he a
rather sure method of warding off
this evil, says a 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
%shovelfuls of dirt-that is. real dirt
with no grass in it-round the bottom
Of each tree. This earth must be
tralnped and should form Il mound
five or six inches high tight against
the trunk. Unless the ground is In 4
very weedy condition the whole opera
ton does not take over two minutes.
At this rate an orchard of several
acres can be cared for in a few hours
spare time.
Some FOUR years ago we had be-
tween three and four acres of peach
trees that We're two and three years
old. Some of the trees had been so
badly girdled that they died and many
of the others were Stunted SO that 1t
took them Il whole year to make up
the lost growth. We plowed q furrow
about a foot away from the base of
the tree on each side of it, taking care
not to go close enough or deep enough
to iniure the DOT seriously. This
work was done with a one horse plow
such as is used for close working in
the orchard. BY doing it this way
much time Is saved rs less handwor6
is necessary. However. in many in
stances this plan canno he followed,
because the heads of the trees are toe
low to allow a horse to pass under
them.
Another advantage derived from
this method Of banking dirt round n
tree is that such a bank tends to hold
the tree Solidly in place in he winter
and spring, when the winds are doing
their best to loosen and upset every
tree hat is out in the open. No tree
is going to do well if the little feeder
roots are worked loose from the sol
into which they have made their way
and this is especially true of a young
tree.
There is no need Of taking dow1
the bank in the spring. for it can az
no harm and will naturally be worke.

The farm tractor is an innovation in
modern agriculture which has come

"HE new battleship New York IS
to be launched at the Brook
Ign navy yard Oct. 30 The
date was set with Il view to
having the biggest vessel in the Amer
lean navy fully completed before It
left the ways. President Taft, wee
President Sherman, Governor DIN II
Mayor Gaynor are to be represented
1T the launching.
The battleship New York, known 10
experts as battleship No. 81. was con
structed at the Brooklyn navy yard
entirely by the construction corps OF
the yard. Congress appropriated ST.
coo, 900 for the construction OF the
hull and the machinery. 1t was not
enough, and work on the vessel had
to be stopped. Secretary of the Navy
Meyer had to ask the naval commit
tees Of the house and senate for an
additional 81 100000 to complete the
work.
The hull alone cost approximately
$4,000, 600; the machinery, boilers and
steam and electrical appliances, ST.
603, 600, making a total Of 1928, 600.
Then come armor and armament.
The armor, which protects the vital
parts Of the ship and the guns and
magazines, cost approximately $1,000
600. The guns and other armament
cost $3.50, $50. This latter sum Is d.
vided as follows:
Ten f~ourteen-inch guns at STA, 700
apiece, STAT, 900.
Twenty-one fve-inch 81 caliber guns
at $1,000 apiece, $685. 200.
For the balance Of the armament
funds, $1,000, 7sO, comprising four
three-pounders, two o~ne-pounders, S.
A.; two three-inch r, two 80 caliber NJ
and four twenty-one-inch submerged
torpedo tubes.
To this must be added the gun car
riages, magazine machinery and hoists
and all appliances necessary to the op-
Grafton of the big and little guns.
This makes a total Of $2,54O,9SO for
armament.

MEASLES PREVENTIVE

The scientists Of the United States
hygienic laboratory are engaged in
seeking an antitoxin or preventive
of measles, a disease which annually
eXacts a heavy toll among children.
Their efforts are based on the success
Of a recent experiment with monkeys
conducted by DR.. John +. Anderson
and DR.. Joseph Goldberg, by which the
scientists, for the first time in medical
history, it Is said, actually inoculated
a small colony Of the animals with the
disease: The antitoxin is to be de-
veloped from this experiment, although
the measles germ is SO minute as to
be u~ndiscoverable even under the most
powerful microscope.
According to the census bureau fig
ures, taken from the registered area
in the United States, in which approx,
mately half the population live, the
number of deaths among children in
1910 from measles was 6.59S, or 12.3
lives in every 100000 persons.
