AN EFFECTIVE METHOD TO
KEEP MICE AWAY FROM TREES
Every 0rChardiSt Should See That His
Trees are Protected during the
Winter Months

With the coming Of winter and the
possibilities OF deep snow we should
Immediately turn our attention to the
protection of young trees from the
ravages OF the field mice.
The work of this little animal is the
greatest in hard winters with deep snow
and the results are many times not de-
tected until we begin spring work in
our orchards. They gnaw the bark
and often girdle the trunk just at the
surface Of the ground and make bridge
grating necessary to save the life of a
tree.
A clean, tidy place harbors few mice
and so it should be with orchards
See to it that tall grass, weeds, and
other annual growths which become
lodged about the trunks OF trees are
removed. They make an excellent
harbor in which these little animals like
to spend the winters.
Cover crops are inducive to the
habitation Of mice, especially clover and
alfalfa, where they are sown in solid
blocks throughout the orchard and al
lowed to grow to considerable height.
A good plan is to NOW down the dead
stalks for three or four feet around the
base and rake it back, leaving the
ground clean next to the tree. After
the first snow falls, tramp firmly close
about the trees, thus compacting the
grass so mice cannot find shelter under
meath. Another plan that works we'll
where mice are numerous and liable to
do damage is to mound up earth around
the body of the trees to the height OF
six to ten incnes. This should be re-
moved in. the spring after all danger of
attack is passed.
Border fences of rocks, shrubbery
and hedges are excellent harbors for
mice. Here they can find shelter and
a safe breeding place. The only
method to pursue in this case is to plan
for their destruction by the use Of
poisons or repellent washes put on the
trunks Of the trees.
Methods of Destruction
/. Wash the trees with some per
sistent substance in which is placed
Paris green. Maynard recommends
the use of Portland cement the con-
sistency of common paint for holding
the poison and applying to trunks of
trees with stiff brush.
Q. Strychnine is the most satisfac-
tory poison for field mice. Although
deadly poison and dreaded by many
people, yet with the proper caution it
can be safely used. Various bats can
be used with it, such as wheat, corn
meal, oatmeal and bran. The bait
should be soaked over night in poison
syrup which may be prepared as fol-
lows:
Dissolve an ounce of strychnia sui
plate in pint of boiling water, add a
pint of thick molasses syrup and stir
thoroughly. A few drops of oil Of anise
may be added to scent the syrup.
While hot pour over one-half bushel OF
one of the above mentioned bats and
mix thoroughly. If too wet, add

up excessive moisture. If not wet
enough, add warm water until the mix
ture is all wet. There should be mois-
ture enough to wet every particle and
yet not enough to make sloppy and
cause dripping. Let the poisoned bait
stand over night then apply in small
bits with a spoon or small paddle in
obscure, sheltered places where the
farm animals and birds cannot get it,
because of the danger Of poisoning
them. c. B. Sprague,

VAN BUREN, PIONEER
VISITS in CAPITAL

Des Moines, Dec. S.-Henry Miller of

rim, of 1915 Twenty-fourth street, and
other relatives and friends, has return

of Iowa and has been a resident of Van
Buren, county for seventy-five years.
Mr. Miller is one Of the few men liv-

fifties when the gold rush was on. He
and his party went overland by OK

golf. dust to the mint in Philadelphia.
He is now in his eighty-fourth year,
yet in fairly good health and made the
trip from Mt. Zion to Des Moines and
