the ground, because the work Of
wheeling them is increased about
a hundred per cent. 1t was this
fact, coupled with the necessity of
using a wheelbarrow whether
there was snow or not, that Sug-
gested the equipment of the bar
row wheel with a runner so that
it became a sledbarrow rather
than a wheelbarrow.
The board used for the runner
should be made good and long,

bind the edge Of the runner board

CHANGING CAPITALa,

Changes of capitals have occurred several times within living memory, but that is not likely to afford much consolation to disestablished Cal cutta Perhaps the most notable in- stance is that of British Columbia, whose original capital was New Westminster, so christered by Queen Victoria herself. But after some years New Westminster was found unsuitable and the metropolis was shifted to Victoria. Our crown col- ony of Fiji, in the south Pacific, has also changed its capital from Levuka to Suva. The first seat of government in Australia was Para- matta, but the authorities soon shift ed to Sydney, although Paramatta for long time remained the official residence of the viceroy.-Iondon Chronicle.

tail 10 Covered Up.

When SHOWS cover the ground for
long periods, there is danger to the
fruit trees and shrubs. The supply Of
food for the %cottontail is covered, and
he is driven to the trees.
Many small trees will be injured
the present winter, says Homestead,
and owners must be vigilant to avoid
damage. The shotgun and the trap
will do something to thin out the
rodents, but they cannot be depended
upon for perfect protection. Feed
may be supplied by throwing down
apple trimmings. Poison ma be
used, ~strychnine in sweet apples. Also
there are 6fty applications for the
bark which cause the enemy to avoid
the trees which have been treated.
Grease, blood, fetta-each has its ad-
vocates.
II enc protectors are put on now
press them down well into the snow
and see that they are long enough so
that, if drifts form about the trees,
the rabbit will not get free passage
into the tops. Large trees are prac-
tically safe from the enemy, because
he cannot stretch his mouth to fit
them, but the small tree makes his
opportunity.

Paint Tree Wounds.

Observation and experience tend to
the conclusion that white lead is the
best and cheapest application for cuts
and bruises on the fruit tree.
It is rated first and grating wax
second. 1t prevents checking and
seems favorable to quick healing.
Coal tar should never be used-for
it seems to actually hinder the process
Of re-barking. Keep a pot of paint
handy, and by filling the vessel with
water, drying out is prevented.
In thousands Of orchards the paint
pot should be used this winter, while
the delayed pruning is being done.

an apparatus to protect vegetation
against the wintry blight. A metal
vessel is designed to be filled with
one of the slow-burning liquid fuels
and carbureting and draft passages in
the pot to keep the fuel burning all
night long. There is a SCOT collector
over the top Of the pot and a cowl
over all so that rain cannot put the
fire out. The SCOT collector and the
cowl prevent the SCOT from settling on
vegetation. A number of these pots
stationed throughout an orchard or in
an enclosure where especially fine
fruit is grown will give out enough
heat to protect the crop from an or
