BARK BOUND TREES. American Agri-
cu!lurist rdcues the idea of sWing the bark
of trees with knife, as is very common with
many persons. when tree is considered bark
bound, with view of making it grow. 1t says
you might, with the same proprety' slit the skin
Of bony, half starved calf, in turning II ou' TO
pasture in The spring, in order to ado 10 lis
growth. Sap to plants is what blood is to ami
mails Instead Of this course it advises US TO
Gig about and cultivate the roots of trees
scrape off The moss, aud wash the stem or trunk
with soap suds. ley or chamber slops- and the
bark will take care of ilsseIf. This is all M
doubt true, as experience and philosophy prove
and on what safer grounds can we go!
