Field Mouse.Is the Depredator -- Prevention and Poisoning Described as Measures of Control -- Transplanting Early Crops from Hotbeds. (Contributed b7 Ontario oephr't-ment of Agrieu tune. Toronto.) LMOST every year thousands of fruit trees are girdled and killed by mice. The species of mouse responsible is not the common house mouse, but. the 'short -tailed field mouse, whose rune 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: 1. In autumn remove the sod from around the trees for a 'distance of about two feet 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 vrhich 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, tramp 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 to 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 senscald. 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 and therefore 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 niay 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.
