As muck of this can be prevented by precautionery measures ‘taken in the fall we venture once again to remind our renders that the time is now op- portnne to guard against such loss, This may be accomplished in two ways: (1) by the use of building paper, and (2) by the use of wire or metal protectors. The building paper is a very cheap means of protection from the standpoint of material, but, as it lasts only. the one season, is ex: trovagant of tine through, the neces- sity of wrapping the: trees each fall. Single-ply white or grey building pa- per used. Tar paper may be: used. but is not recommeded as there is a possibility of injury to the trees. The paper is eut into strips about six or eight inches wide and the full length of the roil, which is about thirty-six inches. The paper is wrapped pretty snugly around the tree trunk and tied with binder twine top and - bottom. After tying, a little earth is mounded up around the base to prevent rodents working under the’ paper. This paper is generally removed in the spring. The other method, the use of wire or metal, is more permanent, more expen- sive, but. cheaper in labor, for the metal protectors last for o long per- iod of yenrs. Fine meshed galvaniz- ed wire netting is the most lasting material. It is fastened by small pieces of wire and is made larce enough to ellow for the: trunk ex- There is a cheaper material is made front ex- panded metal, such as is use in building. It is better when both; gal- vanized and dipped in paint, i yen state it may be obtained from) the factory, This material jis fastened around the trunk by small wird fas- teners as is the wire netting. ‘It is advisable to stick the ends of these Wire protectors in the soil so that there will be no danger of the mice working from underneath. ‘ THE LAYING HOUSE Ti has been the eustom co etlow io epuire feet of ilvorspis per bird in the laying. house and houses Injury te to Trees _ af - vos. von kee woe oRot TY.
