Trimming Trees.

This is the annual season
when people without sense man
gle their trees. A foolish idea
was obtained that the proper
way to trim d tree is to cut off
the top The soft naples suffer
the most, but now some idiots
are attacking the elms in the
same way. This tree in its nat
ural condition is graceful and
feathery, and to chop off its top
is to rob it of it's beauty and
ultimately destroy 1t. There
are hundreds of soft maple
trees that have been mutilated
In this way and even the vitali.
ty OF this tree is not sufficient to
prevent the decay OF the uncov.
cred stump. The only thing
that seems to profit by this mu-
tilation are the woodpeckers,
who bore holes in the unprotect'
ed portions of the tree and nest
in them. Otherwise the prac-
tice is barbarous, foolish, de-
structive, and the man who
practices It ought to be fined.
