RINGING OF TREES.
Those Intended to Be Cut for Timber
Should Be So Treated.

Should Be So Treated.
Architects will remember that the
old books on building advise that the
trees intended to be cut for timber
should have a ring Of bark cut around
the trunk in the latter part of the winter
preceding the autumn season in which
they are to be felled. This advice seems
to have been founded on experience,
but so far as we know it is never fol-
lowed in modern times. Very recently,
however, NJ. Mer, of the great forest
school of Nancy, in answering an in
quiry as to the best means for preserv-
ing wooden telegraph poles from the
ravages of insects, explains the effect
of ringing growing trees in very
interesting manner.
According to NJ. Mer, tree intended
to be used for telegraph pole should
be cut in the autumn, and during the
preceding winter should have a ring cut
out of the bark, down to the wood, near
the upper part Of the trunk. If this is
done the ascent of the sap in the spring
is prevented, as it is well known that the
sap circulates just under the bark
the tree nevertheless grows, consum-
ing as nutriment the starch grains laid
up in the sapwood. When the seasons
growth is over, the starch in the sap
wood is gone; but, as fresh sap has not
been allowed to circulate, no new starch
has been deposited in its place TO supply
the next seasons growth, and when the
tree is felled its tissues C ontain no
starch, and consequently no food for
the insects, which feed upon wood, and
which, according to M. Mer, only eat
the wood for the starch which they find
in it. To inject wood with sulphate of
copper, as is often done, NJ. Mer says
helps to complete its protection, but
only on condition that the starch is
first removed as he suggests.-Ameri-

ABOUT ROAD BUILDING.

suggestions Submitted by q wen-Known
Canadian Engineer.
Country roads are commonly di-
vided into two classes gravel and dirt,
writes A. w. Campbell, C. Z. high
way commissioner for Ontario, in
farmers Advocate. The terms good"
and bad" are frequently regarded as
synonymous with these, and as our
roads are usually constructed, this in
terchange of words is to some extent
not without reason. The way to con-
struct q good gravel road is to first
build good dirt road from the nat
ural soil.
A good dirt road to those who have
driven through sloughs designated
bad roads during the past spring,
will seem an impossibility. And yet
these bad roads are chosen in June by
the teamster in preference to the
good" gravel roads. These latter are
now a collection of parallel ruts, with
rocks firmly set, protruding or rolling
loose under the wheels and the feet of
the horses.
The diseases being so perfectly
known, it is poor recommendation for
our inventive powers if we cannot pro-
duce the remedies. For dirt roads,
take the water out and keep it out;
for gravel roads, this and more. There
will be less moisture remaining in the
roads after the rains fail to assist the
disintegrating and upheaving action of
the frost. There will be less water to
be carried away in the spring, and more
ample means to do it quickly. dry
foundation for a road is as necessary
az for any other structure. We're the
benefits of drainage better known, our
system of roads would soon be vastly
improved.
Drainage must be secured at the sur
face of the road and beneath it,

ceptions-will accomplish more than
surface drainage. Where and how to
place the drains is matter regard
ing which no definite code of laws can
be formulated, since each mile or less
of roadway may lead to an entirely
new combination of circumstances.
Surface drainage is attained by round

slightly more, so as to draw the water
sharply to the bitches. Water al
lowed to follow the track Of the wheels
will wear them to ruts, and deposit a
softened mass Of mud at the foot of the

side will result. If possible place small
culverts below the surface, and cover
with earth, as they will be the less SUBJ
ject TO wear and will not interfere with
the smooth surface of the road. Make
culverts permanent. Avoid the use of
perishable material. See that proper
outlets are made for them and keep free.
Water which is allowed to stand in
them in frosty weather will destroy the
best material.
The surface of the road should be
kept smooth and free from ruts. Where
gravel or ether metal is to be applied it
is best to dig trench for its reception,
otherwise the crown will be too high.
Gravel is intended to perform the
double service of a roof to shed the
water and floor to resist the wear of
traffic and to lessen the amount of tIac-
ton required. A 10 per cent. greater
load can be drawn by a team over a
smooth gravel road in an equally good
state of repair. All the work should be
done on uniform plan in systematic
and permanent manner, with view to
its extension on the same plan in sub
seouent years: this in a short time will
secure a perfect system of finished
roads.

operated. is economical. The grader

better resist the load, prevents displace-
