CEMENT FOR CAVITIES IN TREES.

The subject of the preservation of trees
received attention III an article on page 25l
of the last number of the AgriceItm0 al NeaoS.
The additional information given below is
taken from the Guyden and Field for May
1912.
1t is only recently that very much atten-
ton has been given to the filling of cavities
in trees. This is now being done quite ex-
tensively, and better work is being accom-
plished in this line than heretofore.
The question has often been asked wheth-
or it is worth while to dig out a decayed ca
yity of a tree and fill it with cement or some
similar substance. We are free to confess
that we have never had an opportunity to
examine many trees whioh have been filled
for any length Of time, especially when the
filing was well done, and therefore have not
sufficient data to ascertain whether this me-
thod of treating trees always prevents fur
Their decay. Until we have an opportunity
to examine carefully specimens that have
been filed for many years, we cannot be
absolutely sure whether the types Of filing
now in vogue are successful III preventing
further decay.
We have observed sections of large trees
which have been filed for a few years, which
showed that decay was not arrested com
pletely, but it is hardly fair to assume that
the trees we examined represented the best
workmanship in this direction. We believe,
however, that If q rotten cavity is thoroughly
cleaned out and properly filled, the life of a
tree can be greatly extended, and that it is
possible to prevent further decay of such
cavities. The best method, however, of
treating tree cavities may not as yet have
been discovered. We believe that it is the
best plan to make all cavities wider at the
centre than at the exterior surface, so that
the filing substance will be wedged in, as
it were, and have 20 opportunity to fail out
or become displaced.
Of course, cavities after being thoroughly
cleaned are treated with some antiseptio,
such as corrosive sublimate, creasote, or
paint. Creasote possesses more pc netrating
power than o watery solution of corrosive
sublimate, aud probably for this reason it is
more e~ffeotual il reaching portions Of the
mycelium of the fungi which might be still
remaining in the wood near the chiselled
surface. Probably formalin at the rate of
2 to 4 parts of formalin to 100 parts of water
as we'll as many other substances, can be
used to advantage, bu, the use of such dis
infoctauts on trees is entirely in an expert
mental stage, and their value as antiseptics
is problematical. Agricultural Neacs, Aug.

SHAVING AMONG THE CHINESE
Barber Carries His Equipment About
the Streets on a Pole Look
ing for Customers.

Chinese people have very light
boards, and their practice for untold
years has been to patronize the ma
tive BARRIERS, who carry their equip
ment suspended at the two ends Of
a eoolie pole across the shoulder and
stroll about the native streets seek
ing customers. Comparatively few
Chinese have adopted the plan of
shaving themselves, and these con-
sist entirely of those who have i'm
bibed western ideas. With the aban-
donment of the queue becoming gen.
eral, the habit Of self-shaving, it is
expected, will be promoted, for when
a Chinese employs a native barber
the latter shaves the front part of
the head as well as the face, brushes
the hair, and replaits the queue The
shaving Of the head and the care of
the queue are things which a man
cannot well undertake for himself,
and with its abandonment the main
objection to self-shaving will have
been obviated.

PLUMLEYs BIG FISH STORY
Vermont Congressman Tells How He
Recovered His Gold Watch
and Double Eagle.

Fish stories are rife in May, and
under the seductive influence of
balmy spring new versions come to
light of the same old stories we
have heard since boyhood days. Con-
gresham Plumley of Vermont, of
portentously serious mien, asserted
to smiling group of colleagues that
a couple of seasons ago he lost his
watch and a $40 gold piece over
board while waiting by placid pool
for a bite. The next year, he de-
clared under oath, he caught fish
in that self-same pool--a "gold
fish," Of course and he found with
in the fnny armor Of that Vermont
bass his watch, the 500 gold piece
and 80 cents accrued interest.
Fish Commissioner Bowers in
sists that this is another result of
his labors to propagate thrifty hab-
its among gold fish. He says that
the monetary question has been SO
much discussed in Washington
that it has affected the spawn sent
out through the country, and if
these fish stories continue he will not
be responsible for results. AS the
party broke up it was agreed that
Congressman Plumley deserved the
plum Of the fish-story season.-Joe
Chapple's News Letter.

MONEY EATEN BY ANIMALS
Several Instances In Which They De-
voured Currency That Was Re
covered and Redeemed.

A farmer residing near Ogden,
Iowa, drove into, town one day,
stopped at the hotel, tied his horses
and went in to dinner, leaving his
coat in the wagon. When he came
out he examined the coat and found
six SIS bills missing. He accused a
passer-by of having stolen the mon
ey. The passer-by denied the charge,
declaring that the bills had been eat
en- by a. goat. He. pointed out the
goat and said that he would pay the
amount of loss if the cash was not
found in the animals stomach. 1t
was necessary, of course, to sacrifice
the goat, but sure enough an autopsy
disclosed the farmers ''wad," which
was forwarded to the treasury. A
stockman near Galveston, Texas,
sold bunch of cattle for $470. He
put the amount in a wallet without
folding the bills, so that their ends
stuck out. Later in the day, while
busy at something, he threw his coat
upon the ground in a COW lot. Prob
ably the wallet fell out. At all
events, soon afteward a yearling
calf was discovered in the act of eat
ing the money, of which it had al
ready swallowed all but S210. The
only way to recover it was to Kill the
calf, whereupon the $500 extracted
from the animals stomach was sent
to Washington. All of it was re-
deemed.
