YOUNG FRUIT TREES,
Bon to Proteet Them from Rabbits
Is a Problem That Has Puzzled
Many a Man.
I hare tried several plans of protect
ing1 young fruit trees from rabbits, and
have unpleasant memories of some;
especially the axle grease plan. I
bought eight fine apple trees at 37%
cents apiece, and applied the axle
grease as directed in an agricultural
paper, and next spring all but two
were dead; five years later these two
were still stunted, and had made lit
tle or no growth. I would like to warn
all fruit growers against the use of
axle grease. Several of my neighbors
followed the directions of this article,
with equally disastrous results, and no
telling how many readers in other
parts of the country. Axle grease is
an excellent thing on the axle, but on
the young tree it is very destructive.
The method which T find to give the
greatest satisfaction is as follows:
Procure a lot of medium-sized corn
stalks and cut them in two-foot
lengths. With a stout cord—binder
twine preferred—tie one around each
end of a stalk, about three inches from
end; tying stalk in middle of string,
place another stalk beside this one,
pass string around, tie and proceed
with next stalk, picket fence fashion,
until you have enough to pass around
the tree. Leave several inches of
string beyond the last stalk to tie
around the tree. These can be made
very fast, and will keep off the rodents
nicely, and will be better than rags.
The stalk protectors will last several
winters. Some use paper and rags for
this purpose, but however cheap and
easily applied they are not altogether
satisfactory; I have known bunny to
have intelligence enough to remove
this covering for his supper.—13. W.
Jones, in Agricultural Epitomist.

SELECTION OF COLTS.
iVIint n French Agricultural Paper
Has to Say on This Always In
teresting- Subject.
How can a good colt be selected?
Opinions differ on this subject. Some
» flirm if ie troptr <liHionU
possible, to judge a colt before he is
somewhat matured. Others pretend
hat at six months one can decide
vhat he will be, while others say that
it 18 months a selection can be made
>n his merits with almost a certainty,
it IS months the ensemble of the pro
lortions of the head, the chest and
ihoulders and of the body is very
lear what it will be at four years if
he animal has been well raised, the
egs alone lengthening slightly.
There are some indications of a
general order that will serve as a
;uide in the selection of a colt. A
olt that has a good resemblance to
. matured horse will have very little
o acquire. A colt high in the thighs
hould foretell a large horse, but if
he knees are small and the hams
larrow and flat the legs will be
ank and puny and the colt will de
elop little force or value for the
aiser. The colt that is said to come
icar the earth is the one to select,
or whatever other specialty he
nay have this is a superior quality,
'he connoisseur can judge and decide
he merits of a colt by a glance of
he eye, but the inexperienced must
ake into account all the knowledge
e can obtain. The growth of the
ommon horse often terminates at
hree years, while that of a race
orsc is not often achieved until to
wards five years. One can therefore
ay a horse is fully matured at five
ears, but one should not demand a
maximum of labor and fatigue until
lx years.—Journal d* Agriculture
