TO PREVENT WINTER-KILLING 59 
mole’s track, do not fail to tread the soil back in

Rabbits will sometimes eat the bark of vines 
and other plants during a very heavy winter, 
when they cannot very well forage. This causes 
the vines to die slowly the following season. 
There is not much to be done to prevent this 
beyond wrapping the base of the plants with tar 
paper in the fall.
