DENTISTRY FOR TREES.
interesting Work Done NowadayS to
 Preserve Trees From Decay.
From the Cement Age.

From the Cement Age.
 The practice of filling cavities with ce- ment has long been in use, but when carried out along the usual lines 1t only serves to add to the original trouble. The method of sealing up the decayed sec tion simply increases the decay. Many examples may be seen where the bark at the side of the cavity was cocered by the cement, no regard having been paid to drainage or the subsequent healing of the wound.
 As the cement did not stick to the wood and the swaying of the trees by the wind often enlarged the crack between the wood and the filling, water penetrated behind the cement and decay went on even more rapidly than before.
 The tree grows in girth by the deposit of a thin layer of new wood between the wood and the bark. There are three lay CTS in this coat-the middle one being composed of thin forming tissues known as the "canbium." The inner side of this layer forms a new wood, the outer new bark It Is this new layer and the lay CTS of the four or five previous years which are known as sapwood. and form

 Tt cost me-" he said, just S3200, and never while was paying for it did I put in more than $25 a month. How did manage 1t? You see, I was never much of hand to save until got in the notion of getting married, when just shit off on everything until had $40( ahead. Then I be- gan to talk to tie girl about furniture and house rent I figured on paying about $20 month, although I was getting only so. But the girl said she would rather start buying home than put the money into furniture So we talked and talked, and finally bought this bt-s800 was the price $50 down. TEen got builder to put up that back end; just two rooms downstairs, living and bed room. That cost $350; t was just set on cedar posts, you mow.
 Well, we managed to get a little furniture and started that way, rent free, and ve always had few dollars for clothes and theatre ticket now and then. A year later we finished the two upper rooms and made payment on the lot, and we lived on in that way for five years longer, just putting aside $25 each month as if it was rent. At the end of that time had paid for lle lot and had nearly s900 in the bank. Then I got the front part of the house built. That cost $500 and put me in debt again for 5000, and that cleaned up in four years more. have been ten years paying for it, and could get $4000 cash for 1t tomorrow.
