Judged from the experience Of San Diego,

About this time many discover that
their young orchards have been girdled
near the ground by mice working beneath
the soil during the winter time. Our old
readers will hardly find this trouble, as
they have mostly adopted our suggestion,
several times given, TO tie piece OF pa
per around the stem, and then put gas tar
or strong grease on the paper, when none
of this class of vermin will touch 1t. Be.
sides keeping off mice and rabbits, itkeeps
out the apple-stem borer, which is al
most as destructive to apple culture as
the injuries which result from girdling.
But the increase in the circulation Of the
Weekly Press has brought with it a new
class Of readers, who have not profited by
what other older readers have learned.
These have girdled trees, and what are
they to do with them? OF course every
one knows that when the bark is taken
off all the way round the stem the trees
die, Many preserve them by grating
piece of stem SO that the upper bark and
the lower bark forming the edges Of the
girdled part are brought together Some
times three or four OF these pieces are
used. 1t is very easily done. The edges
of the connecting pieces are shaved
wedge-shaped, and Sits are made in the
bark of the tree, above and below the
girdled part, TO admit Of the wedge
shaped ends of the connector fitting
tightly. The connecting pieces are made
father longer than the width to be con
nected and fitted so as to bow outward o.
little Then piece Of Irvine wrapped
around draws the connecting pieces
toward the stem, and makes sort of
spring, and thus keeps the pieces tightly
in place until they grow.
Sometimes the damage can be remedied,
where the injury has been done on large
scale, by putting few wheelbarrowfuls
of earth around the tree, covering the
injured part, and giving the tree the ap.
pearance Of growing on small mound.
Young roots will push from the barked
places, and, although the tree will not
grow as vigorously for year or two as
before, in time it will come to be as good
as ever.
The best plan, though, is, as we have
said, to guard against this necessity by
examining the trunks near the ground
some time during the summer, take out
the worms from the wood, and put the
tarred paper round. One tarring and
paper lasts three Forney's Weekly
