FEED DES|RABLES
TOPROTECT TREES
Expert Gives Advice on How
to Prevent Destruction
by Animals.

Ways and means of preventing
rabbits. squirrels and other small an
1mak from seriously injuring trees Of
suburban homes in the Winter season
are offered today by Paul Davey,
prominent tree expert. He states:
1T is true of most of the rodents
who damage trees in the winter that
they are only obeying natures law of
self-preServation. Among these rodents
may be included not only rabbits but
squirrels, gophers, mice and moles.
In the summer these rodents find such
plentiful supplies of food that they
are not likely to bother the woody
plants. But winter is hard time for
them and they will take what they
must have to live.
Divided in Two Groups.
"The rodents may well be divided
INTO two groups. One would include
those we want to exterminate, such
AS mice, pocket gophers, which are a
species of rat common in some local
ities, and moles. For these there are
special traps and many mixtures of
poison bait. Meadow mice build run
ways through rubbish or litter and
iced above ground. Traps and poison
bait placed in special receptacles which
birds or other creatures not using run
ways cannot enter are recommended
for them. The pine mouse burrows
below ground with occasional entrances
and poison bait may be put into the
burrows or traps set at the openings.
Moles do not do much damage to
either bark or roots but their runWays
are used by smaller rodents which do.
The other group of rodents, such
AS rabbits, squirrels and woodchucks,
have some educational and entertain
ment value and any property owner
would like to have them around if
he felt they would not damage his
trees. They are particularly desirable
around home where there are chill
dren, to whom they are a never fail
ing source of interest and delight
Feed Desired Animals.
The best way to keep these animals
from doing damage is to feed them.
Rabbits like apples carrots, cabbage,
dry corn and many other kinds of
food which can be supplied at trifling
cost. Squirrels are most partial to
nuts but they will eat dry corn and
fruits and vegetables when they are
hungry. The woodchuck who hiber-
mates in the winter months is a
friendly and interesting fellow the
rest of the year If you find wood
chuck burrow and place food near it
you will enjoy getting acquainted with
new four-footed neighbor who is
easily tanned.
ITO be sure you do not underesti-
mate the appetites of your furry
. friends put mechanical guards around
young trees. A chicken wire or other
mesh cylinder placed around a trunk
several inches from the bark and held
firmly in place will keep them off
Apple trees are special attraction for
all rabbits. If they are hungry they
would as soon gnaw the bark of a
handsome Towering crab as some less
valuable orchard tree If there is any
indication of rabbits it is wise to pro-
tect the trunks.

7 IOW many times have you said
II to yourself, when you have
gone down to the cellar to
Il 4 bank the furnace for the
night: Sometime I am going to make
this basement over!'
Probably what you had-and still
have-in mind was recreation ROOM
that acme of convenience for the
suburban family, a room where ping
pong, billiards, bridge and chess can
be played, perhaps to the accompani-
ment of iced drinks mixed at a built
in refreshment bar. But it seems
such a far cry from the cold, hard
cement floor and walls to cleaning
tiled floor and walls!
One of the things that makes an
unfinished basement look hopeless is
a drab cement floor Somehow, most
people think that it would take a
great deal of time and even more
money to make that floor 'trodable"
or easy to step, moisture proof and
good-looking. Actually, there is a
material on the market which is de-
signed to be laid right over the cement
floor, that is in direct contact with
Mother Earth. 1t is an asphalt tile
one of the most inexpensive foorings
you can purchase and one of the
cheapest and easiest to install.
We have been hearing a great deal
lately about the asphalt and asbestos
tile made by company which has
specialized in flooring of this sort
sine 1899 1t has been used for years
by architects for their big building
constructions. but now the company
feels the public ought to learn about
it-for playroonls, especially.
This tile is virtually indestructible.

It Is particularly appropriate to
discuss this matter now that we have
discovered q new ready-made COM
bustion chamber, which comes ready
to be installed, insulation and all.
After the burner has been set in posi-
ton, the chamber is built from fitted
refractory slabs. Then processed YER

tire installation, filling the firebox to
the height of its chamber walls. This
vermiculite is the same as the ma
