Modification of Young orchards which are kept perfectly clean by cultiva-tion, are seldom injured by mice under snow. There aresome instances, however, where mice will attack those whichstand near the boundary fences or in proximity to grass; andsometimes a hard crust of ice or snow may be formed on thesurface, over which mice will travel beneath a second fall ofsnow, in committing their depredations. Many young orch-ards are more or less encumbered with grass and weeds, andthe trees are often found girdled in spring. A preventive thatrarely fails, that of embanking small mounds of smooth earth.
