Use for Tin Cans.

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer advises the placing of old tin cans on the fire until the solder melts and they can be pulled apart. Then take the large pieces of the can and wrap them around the fruit trees it is desired to protect from mice, pressing the edge of the tin firmly into’ the ground. The mice yill be discouraged by the tins, and will turn in another direction.
