PROTECTION FOR THE TREES
In Fastening Wire for Fence II h
Best to Place Strip Of Board Be-
tween Tree and Wire.

It often happens in erecting wire
fencing that one or more valuable
shade trees are found to be in direct
line with the posts, thereby necessi.
tating a fastening of the wire to the
tree. Ordinarily. II the tree is of only
little value, the trunk Is hewed slight
ly and the wire Is fastened directly
to the tree, but as this method Of fas-
tening is very damaging to the tree.
1t is seldom used where the value of
the tree is considered.
Wire fastened directly TO the tree
soon becomes overgrown with bark,
and this not only damages the tree.
but the wire coming in contact with
the acids of the tree, is also dam
aged. This can be averted by using
a strip of lumber between the fence
and the tree. Nail a strip OF lumber
about five inches wide to the tree
and fasten the fence to this. This
method of fastening does not injure
the tree or the wire, and when the
fence is removed the wire does not
have to be cut at the tree. as when II
is fastened directly to the tree ant
overgrown with bark.
