also tends to carry away more waste
material.
Pimples and black-heads show that
the waste material is not being car
ried away properly but is being left
to clog the pores. Sometimes this ac-
emulation of waste material is due to
lack of cleanliness. The waste ma
terial is left on the skin and clogs the
pores so they cannot perform their
work. Sometimes the fault is due to
poor circulation or to diseases of the
excretory organs. If one organ is in
capable of performing it's work, the
other organs must of necessity do
more than their share in trying to aid
1t. If the kidneys and bowels are not
carrying off their share of the waste
material of the body, the skin Is bur-
dened with an extra amount to be dis
posed Of. Sometimes 1t is unable to

to being fancy gardener. Indeed
the owner of any wooded land who
desires to preserve the mature forest
growth is all but compelled to delve
into the lore on this subject if he
does not want to employ a profess
sional forester, and the farmer who
wants to preserve the priceless herit-
age of the stately trees that surround
and shade the ideally-placed farm
house must do likewise.
One phase of tree doctoring that
the layman can undertake almost as
successfully as the professional is
that embraced in preventive meas
ures. With trees, as with all other
growing things, the policy of the
ounce of prevention is a wise one
and moreover there are some wealthy
men who own large estates in this
country who employ tree doctors as
the Chinese employ physicians-to
keep them well rather than to cure
them after sickness has set in. This
Stitch in time" policy as applied to
trees is particularly serviceable in the
case of the insects, etc, which play
such havoc with tree growth if left
to carry on their depredations unmo-
Tested. 1t is always preferable and
usually simpler to bar pests of this
kind from the cherished trunk and
branches than it is to Danish them
once they have gained a foothold.

with any Of the larger whales, the

variety of ways, but perhaps 1t is
most often chopped finely and eaten
raw with vegetables, dressed with a

braced in the minsterng to our sylvan
treasures. There are numerous different meth
DDS OF circumventing the caterpillars and other
Objectionable invaders, and there are like
wise any number of prescriptions that may be
tried out if the pests have taken possession of
trees ere the alarm is given. Prominent among
these latter remedial measures are the various
forms OF tree spraying for which special ap-
paratus is now provided and apropos of which
extensive experiments have been carried on to
determine the most effective formula to be in
roduced as spray Another branch of tree sur
gerry deals with the intelligent removal of dead
or diseased limbs of trees and the repair of dam
age done by fire. lightning, high winds ETC. And
finally we come to the true surgery which In the
case of trees, with people, involves the re-
moval of portions of the vital tissue; the termi-
nation of decay or disease; and the substitution
of other substances-in the case of trees con-
crete being a favorite medium for closing wounds
and fostering the healing process.
1t might be supposed by many readers that
tree doctoring would be restricted largely to the
country and suburban districts, but such is very
far from being the case. Indeed 1t would seem
as though the residents of our towns and cities
prize their trees more highly and are willing to
do more to preserve them than are the farmer
class-and perhaps, this is natural considering
that tall, stately trees much rarer in cities
than in the rural districts. At any rate most of
large cities employ tree
doctors to look after the trees in their parks and
the shade trees streets and boulevards,
whereas it is becoming almost imperative for
man who aspires to the position of head gardener
on any large private estate to have enough
knowledge of ailing insect-infested trees to
cope with the situation.
