PREVENT GNAWING OF TREES
Simple Way to Keep Mlee From Doino

The simplest way to stop mice from
gnawing youug fruit trees Is to bank
thn well mith earth six to ton inches

flrnt snow htrd armnd them so that
the mice cannot easily rench the tree
trunk. Wrupping the trunk with heavy
paper or tying around It lath, pieces
of shingle or veneer is effective. Many

made of heavy galvanized wire with
