S. Blair, Division of Horticulture, Central Ex- perimental rearm, Ottawa, The great- est injury from mice generally Occurs in November and again in March. Control treasures should, therefore, be put into operation previous to these periods, Some of the accepted methods are removing hibernating shelters, and use of mechanical pro- tectors. Clean cultivation will do more to discourage nice than any other method of control because without grasses, sedges and other herbaceous vegetation upon which to feed, they will leave an orchard. Titus, if the orchard Is under the clean cultivation system of culture, there is little danger of injury from mice, If the trees are growing in a permanent sod certain precautions must he exercised. The remove/ of the sod for a width of 11.4., feet around the trunk before late Sep- tentbcr is very effective. It is best to till the trnncll caused by the removal of the sod with coarse sand or coal ashes, as this will prevent the grass from growing up again and will act 115 a permanent protector. 'Even snow tramped firmly around the trunk after each snow fall has been effective as it prevents the mice from working beneath the snow. Wire protectors give the most, com- plete protection to young trees of any method against mice. The wire guard should he of one-quarter incl( in pelt, galvanized, eighteen invites wide and about eighteen inches high. Rolls of wire of desired )(right may be purchased and cut to proper width or the guards may be purch- ased front a wife manufacturer al- ready cut for use. The bottom of the guard should be inserted into the ground to a depth of from two to three inches to prevent the mice tunnelling under the barrier. Each fail the wire guards should be checked because a few may have been disturbed during the summer. The wire protector will give protec- tion to a young tree for seven or eight years, following which it can be removed and used on younger trees, Clears CLOGGED DRAINS scAvss it cuts right through clogging dirt, Gillett's Lye is a boon to the housewife!
