USING CEMENT
TO SAVE TREES
Former Method Was Never Sue
cessfuI for Several Reasons.

The former method of working in
successful for several reasons. One
was that the cement seldom IL ever
adhered to the wood, so the swaying
by wind of the tree very generally
made larger the treated crack be-
tween it and the wood.
Water penetrated beyond the filling,
so the decay increased rather more
rapidly than before attempting a
remedy.
The improved idea is in removing
from the interior all of the rotting
mass. There remains only living
she'll of sapwood and bark, and into
this cavity a steel brace is nicely in
serted and bolted in place.
The next important step is TO cut
watersheds-preventing any moisture
from entering. There are deep
grooves cut about one inch inside the
edge and opening out to the ground
below. Cement is packed tightly into
grooves. forming a channel down
which the water flows.
The cavity is afterward wired
throughout thoroughly.
The cement Is worked moist, and
built out in the tree shape. Any bark
that is cut away for an inch or two
in order to prevent bruising as the
filling is in progress will soon cover
the filed spot SO passerby can
scarcely detect the wound at all.
In very large cavities the opening
Is covered by utilizing large strips Of
zinc.
Nature helps in this kind of new
work in trees. for the place soon heals
over.
