Strengthening Young Trees.

nounced, II may prove necessary to at.
tach a second forked stick (as shown
by the dotted line). This one should
press against the curved side of the
tree; while the upper fork would pull
the top of the tree over and straighten
the trunk. The fork may be nailed
or wired Tor both) securely to the
stake driven into the ground, and tied
to the tree with a soft cord or rag.
string. At the point where 1t comes in
contact with the tree, it should be
wrapped well with some kind of soft
material to avoid rubbing the bark.
In Fig. we have a method which.
while requiring little more time and
labor than in Fig. /, is more substan.
tial and effective. Three strong stakes
are driven in the ground near the tree.
A hoop from barrel is nailed secure.
ly to the stakes. A stiff stick is laid
across this hoop and fastened firmly to
a couple of the stakes with nails. At
the point marked tx" in the illustra.
ton this stick is wrapped we'll with
some old cloth or paper, and the tree
tied securely to it. Another stick fas-
tened to the hoop crosswise to this
one, and tied to the tree at *" would
prove still more substantial.
This device not only prevents the
tree from weaving about when the
wind blows, but 1t is a fine arrange
ment for Strengthening and keeping
straight the young trees. Further, to
furnish ample protection from rabbits,
mice, ETC., one has but to tack some
fine poultry netting on to the stakes.
