PROTECT YOUNG FRUIT TREES
Something Should Be Done to Keep
Rabbits Away During Winter
Season-Some Use Paper.

Young fruit trees should be pro-
tected from the rabbits during the
winter season for two or three years
after they are set in the orchard.
Some do this by tying paper about the
trunks of the young trees; others paint
the trunks with blood from the
slaughter house; and still others ap-
ply mixture consisting of soap, water
and some other ingredient like tar, or
carbolic acid, to the trunks Of the trees
to q distance Of IS inches or more
above the ground. Of these three
methods, the second, with one writer,
proved to be the most successful.
For years he used the first method
that of tying papers about the trunks
of the trees-but he found that in
sects harbored beneath the paper; also
that 1t took q great deal of work and
time to fasten the paper about the
trees, especially if there were many
trees to be protected, so he discarded
this method and is now using the old
method Of painting the trunks OF the
young trees with blood.
For best results, the blood should be
applied two or three times during a
winter. It can be applied with brush,
or swab of rags tied on the end Of a
stick.

WIRE SCREENING FOR TREES
Mulch Affords Protection for Mice Dur
ina Cold Weather-Some Orchard
lists Use Paper.

IF your young trees were mulched
and not properly protected from mice
and rabbits, you will probably be sur
prised when you visit the orchard to
find that may Of them have been
ruined. Mulch Is good thing for the
trees, but 1t Is also a good thing for
mice as it affords them the best pro-
lection during the winter, and they
gather In large numbers around the
foot of the trees and eat away the
bark.
Protection is easy. The best material
is wire screening, although some use
tarred paper and veneer from wood.
Some orchardists practice tramping
snow around the base of their trees,
but oftentimes this is neglected and
the trees are injured before the work
is accomplished. The protectors should
be pressed into the ground deep enough
to prevent the mice from crawling un-
der. Personally I prefer wire screen
ing, but in case tarred paper is used
ut should be promptly removed in the
:spring to prevent injury from scalding.

Effective Rabbit Trap.

winter, In sections Of the country
where there Is sufficient snowfall to
cut off their supply Of favorite food
Iherbage Of all sorts.
The majority Of eastern states pro-
Ffect rabbits during the greater part of
the year, although many Of these
states have provisions enabling farm
ters and fruit growers to destroy the
lanimals in order to protect their crops
and trees. Trapping is very effective.
A simple, practical trap may be easily
made which will catch many rabbits.
Thus will the opportunity for damage
be lessened, and a very palatable food
sfor the table be cheaply supplied. If
one Is near enough to a good market,
the boys may make considerable mon
ley by trapping rabbits to sell.

Her Potato Glasses.

There's more than one way to han
die the cooking problem, as one good
housewife has studied out to her own
satisfaction. Her eyesight Is not as
good as once it was, hence she is the
possessor Of two pairs Of glasses.
The other day she was engaged in
cooking and she was using the specta-
cles that she customarily wears about
the house. Then as she turned to do
something else she was seen to take
off her glasses, go into the other room
and get the other pair, with the re-
mark:
81 need this pair to work on these
atoes."-Brockton Enterprise.

RABBITS DO HARM TO FRUIT
They Sometimes Become So Abundant
In Orchards as to Occasion Sc
rious Losses.

Cottontail rabbits occur throughout
the greater portion of the United
States, and sometimes do considerable
harm to young fruit and ornamental
trees and shrubs. They breed rapidly
and in spite Of the inroads made upon
their number by predatory animals,
such as the larger hawks and owls,
cats and dogs, and the excellent sport
they furnish hunters, they sometimes
become so abundant as to occasion
serious losses, especially during the

Cheer Up

Though days of strife be draw

for many a year, it is not well to
yield to fear; cheer up! Don't
let your optimism fade; you give
the foe untimely aid when of your
fears you make parade; cheer up!
| have three uncles bearing arms
nine cousins went to wars
alarms, and yet my smile retains
its charms; cheer up! They say
We'll soon be short of meat, we'll
be deprived of corn and wheat,
but, while we have enough to eat,
cheer up! They say we'll bear
upon our backs the burden of a
frightful tax; just now no man
that burden packs; cheer up!
They're saying this, and saying
that, designed to knock our spir-
its fiat, and "they" are talking
through hatcher up! Don't
cross a bridge until you're there
don't look ahead to borrow care
don't starve until your cupboard's
bare; cheer up! Don't try to chill
the hopeful chap; you'll never
help him win a scrap by having
tears upon your map; cheer up.
Just now we need no talk OF
gloom, no prophecies of dole and
doom; be cheerful as the flowers
