MICE HARM ORCHARDS fThousands of Trees Are Girdled Annually by These Pests, The Short -tailed Field Mouse Is the Depredator - . Prevention and Poisoning Described as Measures of Control -- Transplanting Early Crops from $otbeds. (Contributed byOntario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) ALMOST every year thousands of fruit trees are girdled and killed by mite, The species of mouse responsible is not the common house mouse, but the short -tailed field mouse, whose run- ways may be easily seen in spring in long grass, especially around fence corners. It is grassy fence cor- ners, especially where snake fences are used, that afford the best hiding and breeding places for these mice, hence the sooner such fences can be replaced by wire fences or done away with entirely and the freer the orch- ard is kept from all sorts of rubbish the easier it will be to combat mice. Control Measures, --There are sev- eral methods by which almost com- plete protection from injury may be " secured, These are as follows: L In autumn remove the sod from around the trees for a distance of about two fleet on every side and bank earth up against the trunks to a height of six to ten inches. In do- ing this do not leave a deep ditch around the tree in which the water may collect, as this would be injur- ious to the roots. - 2. If the ground becomes frozen before the grass can be removed, mound the trees with coal ashes In- stead of earth, packing them down somewhat firmly so that there may be no runways leading through the grass beneath up to the tree. 3. After the snow has become a foot or so deep or after the first heavy snow storm in winter, tranip the snow firmly around the trunks of the trees. This will close the run- ways and prevent the mice from working their way to the tree. If a thaw follows and the snow again be- comes deep it will be necessary to repeat this operation. 4. A popular plan and a good one. is to wrap common building paper around the trunk t6 a height of about twenty inches, or it would do no harm if it went to twenty-four inches or more, as this will also protect the base of the tree from rabbits and from sunscald. The building paper - should be put on while the ground is still unfrozen and a little earth should be thrown up around the base to prevent the mice getting in. be- neath. The part above can be kept in place by fastening it with a com- mon cord. Galvanized wire netting with a mesh of about a quarter of an inch is an excellent substitute for building paper and will last for sev- eral years, but the initial cost is much higher than for building paper. Tar- paper is often used, but is sometimes injurious to the trees andtherefore cannot be recommended: - 5. Occasionally, though very rare- ly in this province, resort is made to poison to destroy mice. The Wash- ington Department of Agriculture recommends the following poison: "Mix thoroughly one ounce of pow- dered strychnine (alkaloid), one ounce powdered bicarbonate of soda, and one-eighth ounce (or less) of saccharine. Put the mixture in a tin pepper box (or any perforated tin) and sift it gradually over forty pounds of crushed oats in a metal tub or vessel, mixing the grain con- stantly so that the poison will be evenly distributed. Place not more than a teaspoonful of this at a place beside the trees, and, if possible, in the mouse runs. To avoid destroying birds the poison should always ' be covered by a small piece of board with a stone or chip underneath it to keep the board slightly raised from the ground; or it may be put into an old tin such as a tomato can and the edges bent nearly together to keep out birds but to let in mice. A small tile or a broken tile will serve the same purpose. Great cau- tion must, of course, be taken in us- ing such a deadly poison as strych- nine. • Sometimes chopped alfalfa. hay , thoroughly moistened with a solution of the poison made by dissolving one ounce of strychnine (sulphate) in two gallons of hot water is used in place of the above poison. A little of this poisoned - hay is placed close to the trunks of the trees late in the fall, and not more than a handful should go --to each tree and should be plac*gid down close to the crown so that the mice will be sure to find it. It is better to put a little piece of board on top of it, and under no cir- eumstances should cattle be allowed into an orchard thus treated. Transplanting Early Crops from the Hotbeds. - • Two things are very necessary in this work; one, that the plants get as much air as possible and kept as cool as possible in this way getting them • usedto night temperature so that when set in the field they will be able to withstand a considerable degree of cold. The other is that of withholding water as much as pos- sible, this has two direct effects on the plant. One that of enlargingthe Auer root system, the other that of stiffening the wall cells of theplant,. making them more suited to 'with- stand outside conditions. On many occasions it has been proved that a plant, which has only had the water i•egfred for its actual growth, the former came through a rather severe cold spell in good shape while the softer, more frequently watered spe- cimen, froze. In threshing and preparing grain for market, and especially for seed purposes, remember that a good fan - ming mill should be used to the 'best advantage.

To render efficient service and to pre - tent possible accidents these ma- chines should be kept clean, properly adjusted, and run at correct speed. The grain grinder shaft and bear- ings should not be allowed to become gummed up with oil and dust, the burrs or plates should be renewed when worn. In replacing them see that they are attached so that they do not wobble, and that the sieves are tree from rust, chaff, sand and gritty platter. AB running parts. should be kept well oiled, Every working mechanism of the cutting box should be carefully exam- ined and all trash and gummed oil removed from flywheel shaft, feed rolls, bearings and gears; guards and shields placed in position and secure- ly Axed; the teed rolls should move freely up and clown and the safety devices in working order. Attend to the cutter knives, have thein properly ground and correctly adjusted to the flywheel in relation to the cutter bar; 11 too far the fodder will not be,pro- perly cut; if too close to the cutter bar the draft of the machine is in- creased, the knives acting as a brake on the flywheel, dulling both knives and cutter --bar. Used with a blower it is important that the proper speed be developed as the fan can only .create sufficient blast by running fast enough to force air through the pipe at a rate of 9 to 10 thousand feet per minute. Speed is an important factor in operating these machines for efficient service, not only as •to the amount done, but also as to the quality, or the amount of work aCeomplfshed, but most :manufac- turers state in their catalogues the speed at which the machine should. travel. The operator should figure out the size of the pulley to attain the speed required. The rule for speeds of pulleys is windmill was blown. down: On 'llnr4day the diameter of the "driving" pull multiplied by its speed is equal t the diameter of the "driven" multi plied by its speed: or D X R dXr in which "D" is the diameter of the driving pulley multiplied by "R"its speed, and "d" the diameter of the driven pulley multiplied by "r" its speed. If we know three of these items we can easily figure out the fourth. The driving pulley is the one that causes the belt to move. The driven pulley is the one that is moved by the belt. Possibly a farmer may have on hand an engine rated 2 h.p., speed 400 revolutions per minute with an 8 -inch pulley. He buys a grinder without considering what relation its speed bears to that- of his engine. When the . grinder is hitched up to the engine it does not deliver the capacity expected of it. This promis- cuous buying and want of fore though in purchasing machinery is responsible for a great dealoftrou- ble and dissatisfaction. More at- tention should be given in this re- gard when buying additional mach- inery for the farm. We'll suppose that the grinder bought is rated 2,000 to 2,500 R,P.M„ 4 inch or 5 inch Pulley; capacity per - hour 3 to 10 bushels depending on the condition of the grain. Relating this grinder to the engine, we find, taking the above formula that B8 zit. 400-d4 x r=3 x 400 - goo Soo 4 R.P,M., but the manufacturer's rat- ing calls for 2,000 to 2,500 R.P.M. Hence the grinder is delivering only two-fifths of its rated capacity or something like .1 1 -5th bushels per hour. To get the required speed. the driving pulley on the engine should be 20 inches in diameter, worked out as follows: DxR 400-.d4 xr2o.�. 4� -2o" pulley. or the speed of the engine with an 8 -inch pulley should be 1,000 R.P.A. worked out.thus D8ale-d4 xr2000® $5x00 e000 R.P.M. This method applies also to finding the speed and size of pulleys of the cutting bow. -Prof. Jno. Evans, 0. A:, College, Guelph 11TEAliI(rY 3.4O* KiLLnJ .
