Then lime, which hns been thoroughly slaked, should be mixed with the blood, stirring it until aliout the thickness of whitewash. A little sulphur may be added. To apply to trees, take au old white wash brush and cover all parts which the rabbits can reach with the mix ture. They will not trouble a tree treated in this mauuer.
