NICE AND RABBITS START
DAMAGING WORK ON TREES

This is the time of the year when
farmers and orchard owners must
be on guard to keep their fruit
trees from being girdled and ruined
by rabbits and mice. according to
w. w. Magill, orcharding special
list of the College of Agriculture.
These rodents often damage trees
before owners know it and in some
cases do more harm than insects.
Fruit trees in some parts of the
State already have been almost
completely ruined by rabbits and
mice. Cleaning the trash and rub
bish away from the trees and then
placing tobacco stems, newspapers
or woven wire netting around
them is the best way to stop the
damage caused by these rodents.
Cleaning the trash and rubbish
away from around trees with a hoe
or mattock is big step in stopping
the damage done to trees by mice
since these pests make their road
ways under this trash. Woven wire
netting costs more than corn or to-
bacco stalks, but it is cheaper in
the long run since it can be used
for seven or eight years while the
corn or tobacco stalks must be re-
placed each year. A piece of woven
wire IS inches high and from Is to
"A inches long, when bent around
the tree and fastened at the ends,
will stand out far enough to shield
the tree and give enough room for
the tree to make several years
growth. The mesh of the netting
should not be longer than one inch.
Trees can be saved by the use of the
wire netting for a cost of about
four cents each. In case deep
snow falls, trees may be shielded
by lifting the cylinder of wire and
packing the snow at the base of the
tree. This is done to save the tree
from the mice which do their work
under the crust and the rabbits
which work on top of the snow.
eff paper, corn or tobacco stalks
are used, they should be tied around
the trunk of the tree, the stalks be-
ing stood on end. These must be
removed in the spring, as they fur
nish good hiding place for in
sect pests"

BLUEGRASS SEEDS BEAT ARABS

Of interest to Kentucky was the
recent horse endurance contest
conducted under the auspices of the
army remount service. After the
3O0-mile ride the honors went to
the thoroughbred over the Nor
gans, Arabs and other equine
strains that competed in the endur-
ance contest that was held in Ver-
mont under the supervision of
United States army officers.
Since the superiority of the
thoroughbred horse as an army
mount has been established, it is
expected to prove stimulus to the
Kentucky breeding interests and
also settles a long disputed point
that has been the subject of much
controversy.
The late General John B. Castle
man. Louisville, was great believ-
er in the endurance powers of the
American saddle horse. Some years
brated cartoonist, brought. string
of fine Arabs to Kentucky for show
purposes, General Castleman pro-
posed an endurance contest limited
to three types and the thorough
bred in order to settle the mooted
point.
General Castleman proposed to
enter the contest his famous saddle
mare, Emily, and he stipulated that
the animal should be ridden by
Lieut. wild Bill" Reed, then a
cavalry officer and expert horse
man. After everything was arrang-
ed for the contest for some reason it
was abandoned.
The officer selected by General
Castleman to have the mount on
his great mare in the endurance
contest was the late Lieut.. Colonel
William o. Reed.

DOG GOOD COMEBACKER

The recent State fox hunters
meet and the field trials accentu-
ated the breeding of foxhounds.
and the dogs are represented in the
chase all over the country.
The late Col. Jack Chinn was a
noted breeder of foxhounds and the
dogs from his kennels were eagerly
sought. Colonel Chinn was wont to
relate an experience in which one
of his dogs figured. He sold one of
his prize foxhounds to man in
Texas and shipped the dog to him,
but not long afterward he learned
that the dog had disappeared,
probably stolen. Colonel Chinn
thought no more of the matter un-
til several months later when one
morning the missing dog turned up
lean and used-up from the long
journey from Texas, which Colonel
Chinn insisted the dog made to get
back to the "Old Kentucky Home"
Colonel Chinn declared that he
Immediately notified the Texas
man of the dogs return and sent
him check for the amount he had
paid for the animal, at the same
time telling him that he would not
think Of parting again with the
dog that had footed it from Texas
to Kentucky to return home.
