I. General Information about Deer

Deer are edge species, which means they pass much of their time along the border of forests and tree stands. There are two chief reasons for this. First, deer like to consume the young, supple shoots and sprouts that are seen at the perimeter of forests. When the land on which the larger, older trees had once grown is cleared, younger trees are able to grab some light and sprout up. These new outgrowths give abundant nourishment for the darling little deer.

The second reason is safety. When the deer are munching away on baby aspen, balsam or your ornamental plants and shrubs, they can make a quick escape into the dense woods if danger arrives. Clearly, a yard surrounded by trees is a convenient place for a deer to be in, since there is food within reach and cover nearby.

II. Deer as Pests?

Deer numbers have increased. Humans have razed the land so thoroughly and have created so much more edge that deer can't help but to go forth and multiply. More edge means more food, which means more fat Bambi fawns to feed.

Don't forget about the declining number of natural predators for deer. While making room for themselves, humanity also jostled aside wolves, coyotes and mountain lions - the deer's natural population controllers. Because so many habitats have been lost, deer numbers have accumulated.

Below are some ideas for not just getting rid of deer, but also softening their pest-like impact and learning to live with them. These tips will work for an assortment of deer species including the white-tailed deer, mule deer, black-tailed deer and elk.

III. Prevention through Landscaping

* Plant things deer don't particularly like: There is plenty of attractive flora that deer tend to steer clear from, including Allegheny spurge, poppies, lily-of-the-valley, wormwood, carnations, lamb's ears, forget-me-nots, ferns, alyssum, foxgloves, lavender, daffodils and black eyed susans.

* Don't over-fertilize: If the deer are eating your grass and not your shrubs, you're probably over fertilizing. Over-fertilized grass is big, plump and juicy; it makes the deer want to come back for seconds.

* Create a diversion: Pick some plants that are favorites of deer and plant them away from the plants you don't want them to eat. The idea is that the deer will just stay where the more delectable plants are. Try using dogwood, crabapple, viburnum, pyracanthus, burning bush, burberry or white cedar.

IV. Damage Prevention

* Put up a fence: You can't just use any fence, though, since deer are jumping machines, and they can easily hurdle short fences. An 8-10ft high monster fence with at least one foot buried underground can surely do the trick.

Then again, if the idea of the Berlin Wall in your backyard doesn't appeal to you, you can also try using an electric fence baited with peanut butter. Just remember not to put peanut butter on the fence while the electricity is turned on.

A little zap teaches deer a quick lesson. Be careful, though, so that your dogs, cats and children won't get accidentally electrified.

* Place tubes around the base of trees: This defends the little trees from getting munched on. Also, in autumn, deer try to shed their antlers, and they rub them energetically against tree trunks. While this works well for the deer when working those antlers loose, it wreaks havoc on tree bark and can lead to stunted growth or even tree death. The tubes stand guard when antler-rubbing season comes along. Many commercial tree protectors are available, or you can simply make your own by slicing some corrugated drain pipe lengthwise and wrapping it around the tree trunk.

* Protect plants with row covers: There are several kinds of row covers. Some are lightweight enough to just be draped over your plants, while others are configured to be suspended by hoops or stakes.

The Larger Forms of Musical Composition $24.62 TO MY DEAR FRIEND AND FELLOW-STUDENT EDGAR STILLMAN KELLEY PREFACE. And the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. Genesis, I, 2. Order is heaven s first law . ALEXANDER POPE. Passion, whether great or not, must never be expressed in an ex aggerated manner and music even in the most ardent moment ought never to offend the ear, but should always remain music, whose object it is to give pleasure. MOZART. 14 Inspiration without methods and means at its disposal will no more enable a man to write a symphony than to build a ship or a cathedral C. HUBERT H. PARRY. Evolution of the art of music. I have never believed it possible that any natural or improved ability can claim immunity from the companionship of the steady plain hard working qualities, and hope to gain its end. DICKENS. David Copperfield. The present volume is a sequel to the Homophonic Forms and Ap plied Counterpoint, and is similarly designed for the use both of the student of analysis, and the student of practical composition. It claims to be no more than a guide for the student through the successive stages in the evolution of the larger and largest forms of music structure. Therefore the classic point of view has been adopted Vi PREFACE. and illustrated, not only because that would appear to provide the most reliable basis of technical habit, but also because the thorough knowledge of these older forms must precede the inevitable and desir able advance into the modern ones. Without attempting any direct defence of conservatism, the author earnestly advises the young composer to master these classic forms by conscientious solution of each successive task given in the book. This willfurnish him with a basis, both technical and conceptive, upon which h. e can most safely and most fully realize his personal artistic impres sions and convictions. The classic designs are not lightly to be over thrown, for they are the cumulative product of a gradually dawning recognition of natures musical laws, steadily progressing and crystaliz ing through the gathering and eliminating experiences of master-minds during many past centuries. It seems reasonable, therefore, to assume that true structural progress cannot be achieved by abandoning these, but rather by building upon them. The student who desires to obtain a general view of this, structural territory, or to proceed more quickly, may limit himself to the paragraphs in larger type, which are continuous and complete. The additional elucidations in smaller type, and the references, are so ample that they, also, maybe partly omitted by those who prefer a shorter, though some what superficial, course. The analytic student will omit the given Ex ercises. The practical student must make faithful use of them. It is narrow-minded to assume that these exercises, and the persist ent application of rules, will hamper genius. They need not be executed coldly and mechanically. Subjective, personal, enthusiasm may course ju

A Larger Tapestry $19.07 Ruth M. Earn was born in Manchester, Ct. which was called "The City of Village Charm." In its early years, this village was the home of the Cheney silk and velvet weaving industry. These beautifully woven tapestries decorated many places, including the White House in Washington D.C. Unique is the fact that the Cheney weaving Mills were among the first to use the moveable cards of JACQUARD to weave material. This was the JACQUARD concept that led to the beginnings of the computer age. "My father, Ruth says, wove these beautiful Jacquard materials." One of her poems speaks of her father's work. This is what inspired her to call her poetry collection THE LARGER TAPESTRY.
