OF SHADE TREES Pruning and Treatment of | Wounds to Prevent Decay (U. S. Dept. of Agriculture.) Wash. Feb. 21—The best time to attend to several important opera- tibns connected with the proper care of shade trees is during the late fall or early winter. This work may be | done at this season of the year, how- eveér, when weather conditions permit. Large dead, decaying, or unsightly limbs may be removed. The best way to do this is to saw one-quarter or one-third through the limb from the under side, at a point 6 inches or a fQot beyond the point where the final cut is made. A second cut on the upper side should be made a half inch or more back of or beyond the first one. The sawing on the upper side should be continued until the limb falls. The first cut on the upper side is to stripping of the outer wood and bark @#s the limb falls, something which almost invariably happens when a heavy limbs is removed by a single cut from the upper side. This leaves & stub several inches long which must now be sawed off close to the trunk, or close to the larger supporting limb, as the case may be. The stub should be held in place until completely sev- ered. The final cut should be made so thut its surface will conform as near- ly as possible with the shape of the supporting limb or trunk. No pro- jecting stub or stump should be left, | as this interferes with the rapid heal- ing of the wound. Preventing Infection of Wounds. 1f the wood expo is healthy and there is no trace of decay or disease .it should (as soon as the surface is dry) immediately be p#inted with shellac, good lead paint, tar, or asphalt, in order to prevent the entrance of decay-producing or- sanisms. Without some such precau- tion, organisms of this sort are prac- tically certain to gain entrance and cause serious damage to the tree in later years. From the point of view of rapid healing, shellac is the best of ie coverings mentioned above, but It is much less durable. On the other hand, asphalt is the most durable when properly applied, but probabiy A Beauty Secret 40 have clear skin, bright eyes and a healthy appearance, your digestion must be good—your, bowels and liver kept active and regular.

BABCOCK AGENT FOR NEW BRITAIN interferes with the earlier stages of normal healing to a greater extent than any of the others. However, as the rapid healing of large scars is usually of secondary importance to that of preventing infection, asphalt is recommended in preference to the | others, when facilities for properly applying it are available. The asphalt should be applied while hot; consequently it is necessary to have some apparatus for keeping it melted. A brush of broom corn or rope should be used, as the hot asphalt will usually destroy bristles. Because this method can not ordi- narily be handled conveniently by most people, coal tar has come to be the most generally used preparation for covering large pruning wounds, while good lead paint is a close second. One advantage of paint is that it can be obtained almost any- where and in colors that will conform to that of the normal bark, and thus | be less conspicuous than either tar, asphalt, or shellac when applied to a | wound.” A mixture of about three | parts coal tar and one part creosote | has proved very efficient, and is easily 'plied with an ordinary paint { brush, but in many cases it is ad- visable to repaint with clear coal tar | after a few days, in order to make a | niost lasting waterproof covering. ; Antiseptic Wash, | Prior to painting, tarring, or as- phalting a wound many persons apply an antiseptic wash of one part of cor- rosive sublimate in 1,000 parts of {\‘n'er, or a moderately blue solution | of copper sulphate (blue stone, blue | vitriol) or creosote. A special anti- septic wash is not necessary, how- ever, when the tar and creosote mix- ture, mentioned above, is used. A preliminary antiseptic coating should always be used when decayed mat- ter has been removed, or when decay was known to have been preserit only - a short distance from the final cut; also when the tree is susceptible to a contagious disease which is known to be in the vicinity. Care of Trees After Pruning. Many people remove limbs from shade trees and properly treat the wounds, but neglect to keep watch of the work from year to year. In a single season cracks or checks will often appear in the painted area, especially if the wound was not care- folly covered in the first place. When cracks appear they should immediate- 1y be filled, and the whole surface re- painted (with tar, paint, or asphalt) in order to prevent, as far as possible, the entrance of decay-producing | germs. One of the best, though little used, methods of counteracting the danger arising from such cracks is to cover *he pruning wound with sheet metal in addition to the wusual treatment. This can be done by following the brief directions tabulated below, in the order mentioned: (1) Trim the wound so that its sur- face will be approximately a straight line lengthwise of the limb or trunk. Crosswise the surface may be flat in small wounds, or curved in large ones to conform with the general contour of the limb or trunk. (2) Paint the edges of the bark and adjoining wood with shellac im- mediately after making the final cut, or at least as soon as the surface is sufficiently dry. (3) Apply an antiseptic wash to the remainder of the exposed wood. (4) Trim a piece of tin, thin sheet iron so as to fit closely over the wood of the wound, though not sufficiently large by a sixteenth or an eighth of an inch on all sides to reach the thin layer of living tissue (the cambium) between the bark and wood. (5) As soon as the shellac is dry, paint the surface of the wood that is to be covered by the sheet metal with hot asphalt, taking care to cover thoroughly every part of it. Do not at this time paint over the cambium and bark, as the unpainted portions will serve as a convenient guide for placing the sheet metal, the inner sur- face of which should also be painted. Tar or paint may be substituted for the asphalt, if desired. (6) Tack the sheet metal over the surface of the wound by means of slender brads or tacks, placed about a half inch apart close along the mar- gin. See that the margin of the metal does not overlap the cambium at any point, and particularly be careful that the cambium is not bruised during any part of the operation. (7) Taint the surface of the metal and the exposed margin of wood and bark with hot asphalt (or tar or paint), so as to make the edges air- tight and waterproof and the surface inc, or rustproof. | D!
