Rv d C MOORINGl

lBy D. G. MOORlNG)
Rabbits are very particular as to
what they eat, and feed only on vege-
table matter. They prefer the more
succulent kinds, such as yegeta bles
clover, alfalfa and fallen fruit When
none of these foods are available, they
often eat the bark Of trees, especially
when snow covers other food.
1t is very easy to prevent rabbits
from injuring trees, and all cases of
damage are due to neglect rather than
to lack of efficient remedies Your
premises should not afford hiding
places for rabbits such as brush piles.
This is not meant to include green
cover crop in the orchard. An or
chard with a cover crop above the
snow is seldom if ever injured
Traps are very effective n catching
rabbits. The more traps you have the
better. This is not so economical a
method as poisoning for protecting
the trees, but it furnishes amusement
for the children and also provides
meat for the table
There are two general ways of poi
soning rabbits. Cd By placing poi
soned water in their runs, especially
during dry weather. (2) By placing
poisoned food where they can get it.
The following, which was originally
recommended by the Ohio station, has
given satisfaction: One part sulphate
of strychnine, one-third part borax,
one part white soap, ten parts water
Shake well and apply to tender twigs
with a brush or by dipping and dis
tribute the poisoned twigs around the
trees.
There have been a number of washes
and paints of various kinds recon-
mended as being effective against rab-
bits. The disadvantage of these

PREVENT RABBITS FROM INJURING TREES
A Good Rabbit Trap Which Explains Itself

washes is that heavy rains wash them
off and make it necessary to repeat
the application. 1t is not difficu to
find or devise preparations which will
keep rabbits away. Rabbits are very
particular about their food, and any
faint on the tree will keep them from
injuring it. The following has been
recommended by the Oklahoma sta
ton and found very satisfactory:
Water, one gallon; one pound of soap:
two to four ounces Of carbolic acid"
Some prefer to add enough vermilion
red to give the mixture a good pink
color and the consistency of cream
This is painted On the trunk of the
trees with a brush or swab of rags
tied TO a stick.
Another wash, which has given sat
istactiOn, is made by Stacking one
peck of fresh stone lime with soap
suds. Thin to the consistency Of
whitewash, add one-half gallon of
crude carbolic acid, four pounds sui
phur and one gallon of soft soap
The United States department of ag-
riculture recommends the lime-sluphur
wash as giving satisfactory results.
This wash consists Of: Unslaked lime,
20 pounds; flowers of sulphur, Is
pounds; water, so gallons. The lime,
sulphur and one-third of the water are
boiled together for one hour, and then
the rest of the water is added. By add
ing salt the wash will stick better
The Arkansas experiment station
has found that painting the trunks of
the trees with white lead and linseed
oil gave very satisfactory results.
Mixed paints should not be substituted
as they may contain oils which would
injure the trees. One advantage of
this mixture is that one application is
sufficient for the entire season.

TENT CATERPILLAR
DOES MUCH DAMAGE
insect Was in Great Evidence
Last Year, and Promises More
Destruction This Summer.

The apple tree caterpillar which was
in great evidence last year is prcmis-
ing more destruction during the COM
ing season Prof. NJ A. Cobb Of the
agricultural department Of the Cen
trail Michigan Normal school finds that
there are millions Of egg masses fas-
tened on the limbs Of the fruit and
forest trees. These masses can be
gathered and destroyed at this season
of the year, and it will do much to
reduce the number of the pests that
come out next season.
Last year many orchards were near
ly defoliated by the tent caterpillar
and large apple trees were found
which contained from two to fifteen
tents. The growers often burned them
out with torches before they had con-
sumed all the foliage on the tree, but
the difficult work in thickly infested
orchards and where the egg masses
can be destroyed, that is the surest
way of reducing the number OF the
troublesome pest.

DIVERSITY ON FARM
is MOST PROFITABLE
Opportunity Given for Crop Rota-
ton and for Maintenance of
Fertility of the Soil.

CBy ALVA BENTON, University Farm
st. Paul, Minn)
Farm records show, and good farm
eIs agree in general, that diversified
farming is most profitable. Diversified
farming means raising live stock and
various kinds Of crops Diversified
farming gives opportunity for crop rO-
tation, for distribution of man and
horse labor, and for the maintenance
of soil fertility. All of these are es-
sential to coed farming. Crop rotation
aids in maintaining crop yields and
soil fertility the distribution Of labor
reduces the cost Of operation; the
maintenance Of soil fertility is the ba-
sis of all successful agriculture
Diversified farming is of great i'm
portance because it gives the farmer
an opportunity to carry cut all the best
farm practices.
Is your farming properly diversified?

After breakfast I told her that the
coffee she liked so well at breakfast
was pure Postum, and the reason she
liked it was because it was properly
made.

Henry James on France.

She has gardened where the soil of
humanity has been most grateful, and
the aspect, SO to call it, most toward
the sun, and there, at the high and yet
mild and fortunate center, she has
grown the precious, intimate, nourish-
ing, finishing things that she has mex
haustibly scattered abroad. And if we
have all taken them from her, so ex-
pected them from her as our right, to
the point that she would have seemed
positively to fail of a passed pledge to
help us to happiness if she had disap-
pointed US, this has been because of
her treating us to the impression of
genius as no other nation since the
Greeks has treated the watching
world, and because of our feeling that
genius at that intensity is infallible.-

DeadenS Sound of Firinq.

A big-gun silencer which the French
are using is so effective that no sound
of firing can be heard over a greater
distance than 100 yards or so. The
sjlencer is attached to the muZZle of
the gun. AS the shell leaves the gun
small shutter springs up and pre-
vents the explosive gases escaping in
the usual way when the gun is fred.
The result is that the sudden fierce
rush of gas passes out through the two
channels with nothing like the rush
that is caused in the ordinary way. 1t
is impossible to stop the gases es-
Gaping altogether, for the pressure is
so terrific that the gun would be blown
to pieces.

Sudden Death



The close connection between the
heart and the kidneys is well known
nowadays. When kidneys are diseased,
arterial tension is increased and the
heart functions are attacked. When
the kidneys no longer pour forth waste,
uremic poisoning occurs and the per
son dies, and the cause is often given
as heart disease, or disease of brain
or lungs.
1t is good insurance against such
risk to send 10 cents for a large
trial package of "Anuric"-the latest
discovery of DR.. Pierce. When you
suffer from backache, frequent or
scanty urine, rheumatic pains here or
there, or that constant tired, worn-out
feeling, get "Anuric" at the druggist
It's 81 times more potent than lithia,
dissolves uric acid as hot water does
