PROTECT ALL YOUNG
TREES FROM RABBITS
Tarred Building Paper Tied
Around Trees Will Afford Abso-
lutte Protection.

1t is time to think about protecting
the young trees from rabbits. In the
editors boyhood days we attempted
to do this by applying various prepare
tons to the tree trunk, but we do not
recall any that were effective. Last
winter we saw a young orchard in
which tarred building paper, costing
so to IS cents per $50 feet, had been
tied around the trees, affording absO-
lutte protection. Cut in strips, wrap
about the tree, and tie with tarred
twine. The tar is repellant not only
to rabbits, but to mice and insects,
and the trunks OF trees protected in
this way will not be injured. This
may be left on during the season if
so desired. The paper may remain
around the trunk, for two or three
years without injury.-Kansas Farm

Growers and shippers of oranges

Of the United States department of

in their action by the position Of the
department previously announced, TO
the effect that the shipment in inter-

Their before shipment or en- route, is q
violation of the food and drugs act
when the sweating conceals Inferior
ity by making unripe fruit appear to

the green color of the unripe fruit to
yellow, and fruit so treated has the
appearance Of being ripe. However,
extensive investigations by the depart

process does not ripen the immature
fruit.
One of the tests to determine wheth-
er or not an orange is mature is the
so-called "eight-tO-One test" This test
is based on the ratio of the soluble
solids to the acid contained in the
juice of the orange. The soluble sol
ids increase as the oranges ripen,
while the acid decreases. The or
anges are considered immature until
the juice contains soluble solids equal
to, or in excess of, eight parts to each
part of acid contained in the juice.
The amount of soluble solids in or
ange juice is about equivalent to the
amount of sugar it contains. The ra-
ito of the sugar to the acid in the
juice determines the sweetness Of the
orange. In the case of grapefruit,
maturity is indicated by ratio of sew
en- parts of soluble solids in the juice
to one part Of acid. The United States
department of agriculture will send to
any grower or shipper, upon request,
specific directions for making the
eight-tO-One test.
The position of the United States
department of agriculture in reference
to the sweating of immature citrus
fruit is stated in Food Inspection De-
ciSiOn 1873, and in Service and Regu-
latory Announcements of the Bureau of
Chemistry numbered II and IS, which
will be furnished upon application to
the department.

HAVE FLOWERS IN THE HOUSE
UNTIL EASTER,

An abundant supply CT flowers can
be had in every home from Thanks
giving until Easter at comparatively
small cost with no greater facilities
than exist in every ordinary dwelling
house.
Perhaps the most satisfactory bulbs
than can be grown in a sunny window
for winter flowers are Roman hya-
cinths and narcissi.
Plant the bulbs in shallow boxes or
pans having a depth of four or five
inches. The soil must be ordinarily
good, garden soil. The bulbs should be
planted close together, so they almost
tops protrpde slightly above the soil
when the potting is done. Have the
pan or box extend fully an inch above
the soil to allow for a thorough wet
ting of the earth.
When they are potted and we'll wa
Cover the boxes with bits of old bag
ging if the cellar is light See that a
natural condition of moisture is main
tanned.
Bulbs that have been potted October
10 should be thoroughly rooted by De-
cember 10, or even earlier, and they
can then be brought into the light of
the living room and will be in bloom
for Christmas or New Years.
Plenty of water is necessary for the
bulbs brought into the living room. By
having a pan of bulbs ready to bring
from the cellar every ten days or so, a
| succession Of flowers can be had all
! through the winter.
