The guide advises a six inch deep gravel collar and a two foot wide collar around trunks to deter mice and to trap existing mice. Wrapping trunks with burlap or waterproof paper protects young trees from rabbits, with burlap or paper renewed in late spring. Repellents containing Thiram or ZAC may help, and about 300,000 motorbikes and 24,000 cars are on Taiwan.

Vitamin insurance tips for swine raisers
Jackson County Extension Farm Adviser Robert Frank shares guidance for swine raisers. He notes vitamin E can aid growth, suggesting about 10,000 I. U. per ton of feed, slightly raising feed cost. Higher protein finishing rations around 13 to 14 percent may improve carcass quality, with at least four furrowings annually to justify confinement systems or portable field production for fewer farrowings.
