H. CAN SAYE MANY [lNE TR[ES BY [ASY METHODS O[ REPAIR Few Fundamental Principles Must Be Observed to Secure Permanently Good Results--Trees Should Be W~atchedl Closely and Repaired PrompItly-Ready to Give Advice. Triee surgery is comparatively simple and inexpensive and most per sons can, with a little ureliminary practice, undecrtake th- anpler types of tree replair work that will prove immensely profitable i saving fine trees. A fewv fundamental principles must be observed to secure permanen-. tly goodl results. (1) RemIrove the dead, dlecayedl, dlis easedl, Or injured woodl or bark. When on a limb this can often be done best bx -emoving the entire limb; on a large. limb or on the trunk it may mean at times dligging out the dlecay ed matter so that a cavity is formed. 2 Sterilize all eut, surfaces. 3 Waterproof 'all cut surfaces. 4 Leave the wvork in the most favor able condition for rapid healing; this will often mean filling or covering (deep cavit'es. 5 Watch the wvork from year to year for dlefects and if any appear at tendl to them imm!d iately. Removing Large Limbs. A large limb rarerly should be re movedl by a single saw cut from the upper side, as this usually strips the b~ark and woodl as it falls. A preli minary cut should he made from the under sidle, beyond the point for the final cut; andl a second cut on the up) per sideO an inch or more b)eyondl the first one. Then cut the stub close to thle trunk. A c'oat ot goodl shellac should be applied over the entire cut aera of the bark, other sapwood, and the cambium immediately. Creosote should1( he applied to the rest of the expousedl wood not already coveredl by the shellac, as a protection, and tihe e'ntire shellacked andl creosot ed surface should be finally water proofedl with thick coal tar or as; pihalt. G raIt ing wvax, particularly the thick l iqu id alcoholic k indi, is excell en t for wa terp roo fing sumall surfaces. A nother goo dImet hod of treating the scars is to cha r the surface with a gasoline or alcohol blast torch andl then qjuickly cover the hot sur'face with heavy tar, pi tch, or hot asphalt. The treated surfac es should be watch ed from year to year and roated as ON NI We nay Cash Pa or appr< policy cr one's ho of elimal which enabl Call and be D. necessary to preserve the waterproof ing. In removing small branches and twigs the cut should be made as close to the supporting branch as possible so as to leave no projecting stub. The pruning wounds must be sterilized- and waterproofed. For very small wounds shellac is handy. When a wound has been allowed to remain untreated for a year or more decay-producing organisms are al most certain to have started an area of decay and insect activity behind the exposedl surface. Such regions gen erally require excavation of dlecayed and diseased woodl and sterilizing andl~ waterproofing of the cut se 'Cs. T1he tools or<",arily requiaredl are two outside-ground socket--handled gouges (one 3-4 of an .ch and the other 1 1-2 inches), a knife, mallet or hammer, and an oilstone. Only keen edges should be used on the bark or near the cambium. Remove al Ithe diseased or insect eaten andl also all dliscolored or water soaked wood. In decayed areas of many years' standing there may be only a thin shell of healthy wvood aroulnd the cavity, in which case the tree must be br-aced or guyed, and it is often better r-emovedl and replaced b~y a healthy one., Do not leave a cavity so it will r tain water. In shaping a cavity that is to be filled with cement, etc, have the sides undercut if possible, so as to hold the filling more firmly in place, [rn-olled bark at the edges of the open ing should be cut awvay a ft-er the de cayed and dIiseasedI matter- has been completely excavated and the edges of the sap~woodl and bar-k adjoining the caimbium shellacked. The rema indeJ of the cavity also must be sterili-zed. Cresote is recommendled. Over this a Eruptions of ti If you are afflicted with an form of skin disorder, you are wel acquainted with the flaming, burn ing itching that these diseases pro duce. Skin diseases are caused by ai impurity or disorder in the blood and there is no real and genuini relief within your reach until suc1 impurities are removed.

IMD MANNNINi heavy waterproof covering should be applied. Filling the cavity is of much less importance. Often a cavity is bettei left unfilled. A cavity must be watch ed from year to year and any tenden. cy of the waterproofing to crack, split or blister should immediately be coun teracted by repainting. Where sheet-metal covering is used there should be a narrow half-inch ledge of bare wood around the edg to which the margin of the metal can be tacked. Trho cavity must be thorough ly steril ied and waterproof ed, and the sheet metal fittedl tight at the edges. If a long cavity is to be filled with cement or asphalt, it usually is ad.. visable to place one or more bolts through it to hold the wvood and filling more firmly together. Long cavities as a rule, should be bolted every 18 or 24 inches. l)'ANNUNZIO NOWV I NOPEN REVOLT TPriest, Nov. 1 2.-D'Annunzio's war ships have left, Fiume for an unknown destination, most probably D~almatia, Tlhe insurge!.t leader is in open revolt 8gainits the Italio-Jugo Slav agree ment. ie has seized the islands of Veglia aind Arbe, which lie a short dis'tanlce from F'iume.
