FILL CAVITIES WITH CEMENT.

Cavities and hollow trunks. which mean certain obstruction tO the tree in time. are easily remedied and with almost sure success if the work is carefully done. All decayed or decaying portions of the wood should be removed from the cav- ity. A sharp eouge is best for this work. Cut away until soupd heartwood is ex- posed
 Before moisture or other injurious in- fuences can act upon tiis newly exposed wood fill the cavity with mortar of a fairly thin consistency. made from one part cement and three parts c'ean. sharp sand. In the case of very large cavities. some gravel or broken stone may be in- cluded as in preparing concrete.
 After the mortar has taken it's initial set. but before it is hard, apply q thin finishing coat of mortar. made of one part cement and one part sand. Trowel this surface coat to pleasing lines. and in sIch way as to exclude all moisture from the opening Of the cavity.
 Tree surgery of this sort is not unlike dentistry. The cavity must be thoroughly cleaned ou. and there must be no cracks left in which subsequent decay can start Some opera tors treat the surface of the cavity with a copper-sulphite solution af- ter the diseased wood is removed and be- fore the mortar is applied. This solution
 is made from one pound of sulphate to fve or six gallons of water. Its purpose is that of a disinfectant.
 In the best practice. after the exposed wood is treated with a germicide. it is first coated with some tar product 10 act as preservative.. before the mortar is applied. In the case of very large cavi- ties provision must he made for the ex- pSasion and contraction of the cement in l the form of expansion joints.
 Trees in danger of splitting at the crotches can be safeguarded by band ant I'chains. In fact. trees must he in very wretched shape if they cannot be sal
