se Tree Surgeon
and His Work
BY NEWTON FOREST RUSSELL.

The tree doctor is a product of
modern conditions. In pioneer days,
when the country was covered with
original forests, there was no thought
of him; but now, when the entire
country Is becoming alarmed over the
rapid disappearance of our trees, he
has become an important parsonage.
The profession, however, is not over
crowded; in fact, there are yet many
sections of the country where he is
unknown. Not infrequently, the pro-
fessional tree doctor is called upon to
treat cases in which the cavity is
large enough to allow one or even
two men to stand upright in it. The
quantity of filling in such a case
sometimes amounts to several bar
rels. Fortunately, however, the fill
Ing used for trees is not as expensive
as the gold and amalgum used by the
dentist for filling teeth. That In the
most frequent use is cement, al
though in extreme cases, where a
large hollow is to be filled. rocks.
brickbats, and sand and cement may
be used as bed for the ton layer of
hlling. 1t is only recently that ten
tons OF such filling were required for
the preservation of giant tree in
New Jersey, and the famous Wash
ington elm IN Cambridge. Massacnu-
setts, now consists mainly of cement.
1t Is not, however. always neces-
sary to call in professional tree
surgeon, as most of the ordinary
cases can be successfully treated by,
an amateur after little experience

Ing. When a tree is already rotten
or diseased special treatment is re-
quired. Absolutely all diseased or
decaylng tissue must be cut out, no
matter how large wound is made,
because II any decay is left 1t would
be as bad practice as II a dentist
tailed to cleanse thoroughly a de-
cayed tooth before putting In the
fiiling. and the work would have to
be done over again In order to save
the tree.--Harper's Weekly.

For Loves Sake--John 8: 16-1s
Missionary.
Saint John outlived all the other
apostles. Somewhat late in his life he
sat in the dawning radiancy of the
eternal world soon to break upon him,
full of wisdom and of the Holy Spirit,
rich in the experiences of long life
of devoted service and worship of
Almighty God through Jesus Christ his
Son. He had before him the writings
of the first three evangelists, Mat.
thew, Mark and Luke, and of Saint
Paul. With the vision of a seer ano
the grip of a master conscious of the
then present and future needs of the
church he penned his Gospel, when

ship of Jesus Christ. "These are writ.
ten that ye might believe that Jesus
Is the Christ, the Son of God. and that
believing ye might have life through
his name" John 20: 81.
No other where in the Scriptures
do the realities of the spiritual world
come so near the surface and to so
perfect revelation as in Johns writ.

His kingdom is spiritual realm un-
seen but real. All men may become
citizens of that kingdom-sons of the
Most High God. The new birth IS
the gate Of entrance into that king.
dom. The bowling down from the
heavens of the eternal God through
Jesus Christ his Son is in order that
such citizenship may be possible. The
material and spiritual realms are sub
ordinated to the will and power of Je-
SITS. Life, eternal life, is for all who
will accept the divine bounty through
belief in Jesus Christ. Condemnation
and death is for all who reject the d.
vine bounty by refusing to believe in
"the only begotten Son Of God"
These are the high themes treated by
this Son of Thunder. the last of the
apostles of our Lord.

II You Drink Get "soused. Z"

who takes nip every day.
IF | wanted tc drink" said Mr..
Nichols. II would get 'soused' good
and then cut 1t out for a month. II
is not nearly so bad to roll in the
gutter as 1t is to take nip every now

stand either one. and especially the
latter.

Preventing Disease Among Hogs.

Cold weather is now at hand and
this is the season OF the year when
disease OF some kind is most likely to
break out among the hogs. The
changeabie weather and new feed
make II necessary TO watch the hogs
closely. while crowding them for the
market. As every farmer knows. II
Is much easier to prevent disease than
to cure It. There is perhaps no AMI
NAL upon the farm which succumbs
more readily to disease than the hog.
We have a little warning which
will allow us to doctor the horse or
the COW, but II Is not so with the hog

There is more profit in one high
