SCARES are but very inefficient protections for fruits, 

 as birds soon sit on the very branches which bear the 

 maulkin. To frighten them effectually, it is best to 

 employ boys for the short time scaring is required. Over 

 seed-beds a net is the best protection ; but threads 

 tightened across the beds are very effectual.
