generally find silo profitable in

Protecting Young Trees
From Field Mice Ravages

w the possibilities of deep snow
we should Immediately turn our at
tention to the protection of young
trees from the ravages of the field
mice.
The work of this little animal Is
greatest in hard Winter with deep
SHOWS and the results are many times
not detected 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-grafting necessary to
save the life of tree.
A clean, tidy place harbors few
mice, and 80 1t should be with our
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 inductive to the
habitation of mice, especially clover
and alfalfa, where they are sown in
solid blocks throughout the orchard
and allowed 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 underneath. An
other plan that works well 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 inches. This should be
removed in. the Spring after all dan
ger 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 repellant washes put on
the trunks Of the trees.
i. 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.
2. Strychnine is the most satisfac-
tory poison for field mice. Although
deadly poison and dreaded by many
people, yet with the proper caution 1t
can be safely used. Various bats
can be used with It, such as wheat,
cornmeal, oatmeal and bran. The
bait should be soaked over night In a
poison syrup which may be prepared
as follows:
Dissolve an ounce Of strychnia sud
phate In a 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: II too wet,
add a little more OF the dry material
to take up excessive moisture; II not
wet enough, add warm water until the
mixture Is all wet. There should be
moisture enough to wet every particle
and yet not enough to make sloppy
