His heart beat TREMENDOUSLY.
And why?" he asked, tenderly, at

Protection for Trees.

Some orchardists have been sue
cessful in protecting their trees by
smearing the trunks GEAR the ground
with mixtures which are distasteful to
rabbits. For this purpose whitewash,
a mixture of glue and copperas, de-
coctoon IL quassia chips and blood or
grease have been used. Mechanical
protection by means Of some wrap
ping is more permanent and effective
than any form of wash.
