Professor Merrill. "Caustic paints
also have been used successfully at
times in reducing the feeding of the
rabbits.
THE best method to protect fruit
trees from rabbits is to band each
rree when planting with cylinder OF
galvanized screen wire. This method
has furnished protection eXcept
when the ground has been covered with
snow. which allows the rabbit to work

INTEREST IN FRUIT GARDENS
Pleasure Increased by Growing Fruits
Not Adapted to Climatic Region
in Which Located.

The interest of fruit garden may
be greatly enhanced by growing there
in plants not adapted naturally to the
climatic region in which the garden is
located as, for instance, the growing
of figs us far north as the latitude OF
Philadelphia. The summers OF the
region are sufficiently long and warm
TO induce strong growth in the fig,
but as the fruits normally require
long period in which to mature, the
plant becomes useless as q fruit pro-
ducer unless sufficient protection IS
afforded to carry over winter the I'M
mature fruits set the previous fall
This can be successfully accomplished
in several ways. The most hardy sort
should be selected, in addition to which
the fruiting shoots may be wrapped In
mating, covered with straw, and the
fruits thus successfully protected; or,
if it seems desirable, temporary sheds
may be built over the plants, and these
matched with straw or fodder sutfl-
ciently to protect them from frost
Then, again, semihardy sorts may be
tipped over by cutting the roots on
one side, bending the branches close
to the soil, pinning them down, anc

PRUNE AND SPRAY ORCHARDS
Neglected Fruit Trees About MOST un-
profitable Thing on Farn1-iest
at Missouri College.

Does orchard pruning and spraying
pay? The answer is found in the re-
suits of cooperative experiments con-
Quoted by the College Of Agriculture
in 40 Missouri orchards. These eA-
Deriments extended over a period or
three years. They show first, that
neglected orchard is about the most
improbable thing on the farm; second,
that the best managed orchards IN
Missouri are producing more proht per
acre than any other farm crop.
The average returns per acre OF
these 40 orchards during the last three
wears has been as follows: Properly
pruned and sprayed areas, total re
ceived, S176 per acre; net profit, Sl43
per acre. Untreated areas, total re-
ceived, SIS per acre; net profit, moth

In order to obtained records of the
results part of each orchard was I'll

The South, where only slight protec-
ton is necessary, bending down ana

cessful.
By the use of one or the other OF
these methods of protecting plants
the peach has been grown and sue
ccssfully fruited in the southern cen
tral part of South Dakota, along the
Missouri river.
Besides these protective devices,
sheltered places, where growth is re-
tarded in spring, may be taken ad-
vantage of in order to hold back such
early blooming plants as apricots,
Japanese pIums, etc. ApricOts planted
and trained on the north wall of Il
building are frequently sufficiently re-
tarded at blooming time to insure u
crop, while if planted in,the open and
trained as 4 standard" the fruit crop
will be killed b.; late spring frosts.
For commercial purposes the use OF
most of these protective measures is
precluded on account of expense. The
commercial grower cannot indulge il
such expensive devices unless he has
the assurance of obtaining Il fancy
price for his product. In a home frui
garden, however, it is different. The
expense Of protecting a half dozel
plants is trifling, and many amateur
will incur it for the sake of the novelt,
of securing fruits naturally adapted t.
other climatic regions.

with a central throng surrounding
Vaughan and addressing him in every

the Zulu click up to the Partisan of

As we came on deck, Vaughan
looked down from a hogshead, on

and said:,
"For Gods love. is there anybody
