Bridge grating. the use of scions

bridge grating The method also is
useful when large areas of bark have
been killed by sun Scald and other in
turieS.
Effective Grating.
To be effective, bridge grating
should be done in the spring before
growth starts, though sometimes it
can be done after growth starts If
dormant scions for the purpose can
be secured.
Prepare the wound In the tree by
cutting away all dead tissue and thor
oughly cleansing the injured parts. If
possible, sterilize by washing with a
solution of bichloride of mercury, cop
per sulphate, or some other anttseptic.
The irregular edges of the bark above
the girdle tract or wound should be
cut back into an even edge, far enough
from the wound to make certain that
healthy cambium is under the bark

are only a year Old. The sciOns should
be little longer than the space which
is to be bridged. so they will arch
slightly over the central part of the
wound.
Bevel the scfons at each end on the
same side of the scion with a long
sloping cut so that the wedge-shaped
ends thus formed will be relatively
thin and permit their being thrust
well under the bark without danger of
separating 1t unduly from the CAM

placing of the scions will be facilitat-
ed If the bark at the margins of the
wound Is slit for short distance at
the points where the ends are to be
inserted.
importance of Uniting Cambiunn.
In placing the scions 1t is of the
greatest Importance that the cambium
of the scions which is exposed in the
sloping cuts at the ends be brought
into intimate contact with the cam
blum that lies under the bark at the
margins of the wounded area. The
union of scion and tree can occur only
where the cambium layers of the two
come together. The scions may be
secured In their proper positions, If
need be, by driving small nail
through each end into the trunk. This
will aid in drawing the cambium OF
scion and trunk closely together.

Where the bridged portion is below

Bridging From the Ground.
Where the wound is so large as to
make ordinary bridge grating impos-
sible. another method of bridging may
be used. Two-year-old trees are
planted about the base of the injured
tree and their tops grated into its
trunk above the girdled space, which
has first been cleaned as in the other
method. AS the tops of the small
trees are too large to manipulate
readily In the manner described for
scionS, FShaped vertical grooves eX-
tending through the cambium are cut
just above the wounded area in the
bark OF the tree to be treated. The
tops of the small trees are shaped to
correspond with these grooves. The
two are then accurately fitted together
in such a manner as to bring the cam
blum of one into contact with that OF
the other. Small nails may be driven
through the tops of the trees into the

Fertilizer On Grass Lands

TO keep up the organic matter of the soil and

TO keep moving field until the yields of hay are
no longer profitable and then pillow up the sod for
some other crop. If field is to be mown more
than once year it should be fortified each year
after the first with either manure or commercial
fertilizer. Nothing is better for top-dressing
than manure. which may be applied when weather
