PREFER COUNTRY BRED MEN.
Leading Employers Say They Work
Harder Than Those from CITY.

a point which employers differ is
as to whether men from the country
are better than men from the city.
The feeling that country bred men are
likely to work harder is widespread,
and it has much evidence in its sup
port. There is. however, hardly enough
to justify turning down applicants SIM
ply because they happen to be city
born and bred. And for some lines of
work-selling. for example-the city
man is often the better.

advantage of good habits. and of not

ARBOREAL DENTISTRY.
Cavities in Tree Trunks in q Park
Filled With Cement.

Considerable interest attaches to the
cement filing in the trunks of the
great oaks near st. Charles avenue,
Cnd many questions have been asked
about this method of arresting the de-
cay of trees.
Horticulturlsts have found that they
have been able to prevent limbs from
decaying by wrapping them in cloth.
This helps to exclude the dampness.
Carrying their experiments one point
further, 1t was found that cement
would preserve the trunks of trees
from rotting, just as filling Of tooth
prevents further decay.
The question arose last year as to
what could be done to preserve the
great oaks at Audubon park, which
were losing their growth and verdure
by reason of big holes in their trunks,
and it was accordingly decided to fill
the apertures with cement. Several
carloads of sand, mortar and brick
were used in the operation, which has
been attended with great success. Old
oaks regained their strength, new
branches began to grow, and, Alto
gether, they put on signs of renewed
life.
The art OF 'arboreal dentistry" has
since then been perfected to such an
extent that even a new bark can be
given to a tree. 1t Is proposed at some
future date to cover the filling with a
layer Of cement the color Of the oaks
bark, which can be so worked as to
resemble a natural covering. 1t is
Gaid that this will preserve the tree
even better than will ordinary ce-
ment, while at the same time 1t will
add to It's beauty by hiding the mortar.

there is very little of it for sale, and
