Simple Remedies for Protecting Trees
From Rabbits.

The damage caused by rabbits in
our state each year during the past
few years has become more and more
pronounced and many letters are be-
ing received at the experiment station
asking for information concerning the
most of our highly developed fruit
sections of the state, theg rowers have
sections of the state, the growers have
prevent the rabbits from injuring the
trees. In most all cases the damage
is due to neglect rather than a lack of
an efficient remedy. A number of
preventitives that have been tested
out by practical growers and expert
ment stations are given below:
Poisoned bait has been used very
effectively in many sections by plac-
ing it where the rabbits can get it. A
formula consisting of one part stry-
chinine, one.third part borax, one
part white syrup, ten parts water, rec
commended by the Ohio experiment
station, has given good satisfaction.
This mixture is applied to the tender
twigs which are distributed around the
base of the tree.
Tree protectors are also used by
many growers. Strips of wire window
screening, eighteen to twenty-four
inches long and nine to twelve inches
wide are wrapped around the base of
the tree in the form of tubes with the
lower end pressed into the ground.
A woven wire fence is desirable
| where the plat is large enough to
justify the expense. Wooden veneer
strips, having about the same dimen-
sions as the wire screening, have also
been recommended.
Washes of various kinds are also
used quite extensively by our growers.
Heavy rains, however, wash then off
occasionally which makes it necessary
to repeat the application. A faint of
any kind on the trunk of the tree will
keep the rabbits from injuring it. Hog
intestines, cheap meat products, ETC.,
rubbed on the trees, will give good re-
suits. The lime-sulfur wash recon-
mended by the U. S. department OF
Agriculture has given considerable
satisfaction. This wash consists of:
|. Unslacked lime >. >. :. ;. 20 lbs
Flowers of sulphur ........l5 lbs
Water, gallons ................5 SC
The lime, sulphur and one-third oil
the water are boiled together for one
hour and then the rest of the water
is added. By adding salt the wash will
stick better.

"Your Honor. I think this man u .

In East New York to-day.
The remark reached the ears Of those
In the front OF the courtroom and there
was stampede for the door.
The prisoner William Cornish. who
gave his address as No 80 Powell street,
was the only uuconcerned person In the
DOM. Magistrate Miller took one glance
at Cornish's stumps OF hands. which
were blotched with white streaks, and
then ordered him hustled below and an
ambulance sent for. DR.. Pennock came
from the Bradford street hospital and
examined Cornish. He found that the
mans ten fingers had been amputated
years ago because OF severe frostbites
and the white blotches were the scars
from the operation. The Joke was on
Doyle. and his colleagues in the court
room did not let him forget It
