Musical Study Valuable.

"If had as many children AS Jo-
hann Sebastian Bach had, l would
wish to have as many of them study
music as my bank account would per
nit" said prominent speaker lately.
Il would wish them to study music
not to MAKE musicians of them. but
mainly for the enrichment of their
lives that would come from an init
mate and direct acquaintance with
the noble and beautiful thoughts of
music-literature. For | believe that
there is no branch, not excepting lit
erature itself. that can contribute
more abundantly and more richly to
the wholesome development of the
child's emotional life than does mu-
sic, when rightly approached and
studied. Quite apart from any special
gift which they might possess, would
wish them to reap the tremendous adj
vantage of this cultural influence"

Islands Practically All Taken.

1t is practically impossible for the
man of small means to acquire an
island in the South seas. In French
Oceania, as well as throughout Poly
nesia and Melanesia, rich trading com
panies are buying and leasing all
available outlying islands of value.
Twenty or thirty years ago the aver
age man could pick up small island
almost for his asking but since then
trading boom has struck the islands
and things are no longer as they were
in the wild, carefree days. And the
time is drawing on when the average
man will not even find 1t possible to
buy himself a decent strip OF island
land, so valuable will it become with

ORCHARD
GLLANINGy
PROTECTING YOUNG ORCHARD
Mice and Rabbits Are Particularly
Fond of Young Apple and Pear
Trees in Winter.

One Of the risks taken by the own
er of a young orchard is the gnawlng
of trees in the winter by mice and
rabbits These pests may not touch a
tree in your orchard for several sea-
sons; then, Unexpectedly, they may
girdle and kill 40 per cent of them.
Mice and rabbits usually damage only
small trees, although in some cases
they attack trees from four to six
inches in diameter.
Mice and rabbits are more active In
young orchards during the winter
months, when the supply of green
food is limited, but if there is a mulch
about the trees, or if cover crops grow
up about the tree rows, both mice and
rabbits may do considerable damage
during the fall. There is something
about the bark of young apple and
pear trees that seems particularly at
tractive to rabbits. During the win
ter, when snow covers up the grasses
and clOvers for rabbits, and provides
an agreeable cover under which mice
can hide, the young trees should have
some cheap and effective protection
The only safe means of preventing
these injuries is to provide guards for
the trees so that the animals cannot
touch the bark Washes and paints have
been tried and recommended the idea
being to cover the bark with sub
stances that would prove repulsive to
the animals. But those substances have
proved ineffective in affording the de-
sired protection. Such materials as
blood, liver, axle grease and other
greases have no good qualities to rec
Ommend them for protecting young
trees.
The only safe and practical means
of preventing these winter injuries is
to put wire or wood guards about the
trunks of the trees. In case you dis
cover that serious damage is occurring,
and you want to stop it Immediately,
wash the trunks of the trees with a
lime-sulphur solution. or with ordinary

FALL PLANTING ADVANTAGES
Trees Are Placed in New Location
With the Least Amount of
Time in Storage.

Fall planting has the advantage of
getting the trees into their new loca-
tion with the least amount of time in
storage, and trees set out in the fall
will make some root growth during
the winter and be in good shape to
start into growth in the spring.
There is generally more time for
planting in the fall than in the spring
and the work can be done in better
shape.
