Many fine shade trees are every year

roads. All limbs should be cut rs
close as possible to the tree, and cuts
over one and One-half to two inches
in diameter should be painted with
thick lead, tar, Shellac or some such
substance to prevent decay.
Strictly horizontal cuts should never
be left, since they retain water and
rot is likely to result, and the cleaner
the cut the better it will heal. There
is, moreover, less chance for suisse
ouent rOtting.
Many of the cavities in the trees are
caused by leaving long stubs On the
trunk Of the tree. which become dis
integrated and fall off and the decay
follows back into the heart of the
tree.
1t is, therefore. essential that close
pruning and antiseptic treatment of
the wounds should be practiced in or
der to prevent this decay. The plastic
materials in a tree will not follow
up a long stump and form a callous
unless there are some branches left
upon it which bear leaves, and aVen
then healing Will take place only close
to the living branch on the stump.
Two cuts should be made in prun-
ing practically all limbs to prevent
peeling, and on limbs of any size it
j. necessary to make the incision on
the under side for the same reason.
(See cuts.) After removing the linn BIS
with a saw, q mallet and chisei may
be used to smooth up the cut surface.
This induces q better callOus growth.
1t is we'll to prune carefully at the
time Of t~ransplanting, when all street
trees should be trimmed up eight or
ten feet Or more. 1t is also often
necessary to cut back SOM Of the
branches in order TO balance the root
system, and when this is done some
Of the less desirable branches may
be SACRIFICED, and thOs3 remaining
may be cut back to some extent.
The practice of topping trees IS in
curious and should never be resofted
to except in special cases. All OF the

"Taft," King Postum, Licked

"
At the Bronx Geological Gardens,
New York. a new %anteater from
South America proved that he knows
his rights and can assert them. There
was no cage for his reception, and
he was put with the possums. He
found possum society in a state OF
abiect submission, an absolutism
pure and simple having been estab-
lShed. with one Taft as the unques-
toned monarch. "Taft' is a pos
sum of great size and beauty, which
was presented to the gardens about a
month ago by a friend Of the Presi-
dent o:elect and whose pleasure it has
since been to remind the other pos
sums of their lowly and plebeian
condition. "Taft'' surveyed the ant
eater with a glance Of superior dis
dain and undertook to show him his
place. The ~anteater took it quietly
enough until today, when Taft nose
him away from the supply of food.
The South American has long claws
which he doubles up like a fist wher
not engaged in raking anthills fol
breakfast. and he lost no time in en-.
terng the ring. 1t was a lively 60
lasting one short round, in whicl
poor Taft" went down under a be
wlldering shower Of blows. When i
was over the unthroned monarch
sought a very small corner and ownet
defeat.
