sheep which may have the run of the
orchard. To wrap the trees with old
newspapers and tie these securely will
be a safegnatd against. the rabbits and
mice, but hogs and sheep should never be :
permitted in an orchard except when
the woriny fruit is falling. and then thev

A lat-lilac for [telling Snow.
The London Time" directs attention to
a system of snow melting devised by Mr.
F. Lyon. of London. “'htn It isoolr

wide amounts to 3,866 cubic yards. the
impossibility of removing it promptly by
means of horses and carts is st once s.

vent:on is that no snow can be dealt
with in the roads on which it ialls when
it is in a light and tleecy condition, and
