Repair Shade and
Ornamental Trees
Suggestions on Proper Meth
DDS to Follow in Mending
Damage of Winter.
PrepaTed by the United States Department
OF Agricultural


prepared by the United States Department
OF AEricuitureD
The extensive injury and destruction
OF trees Of all kinds during the winter
season has brought many inquiries to
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture regarding the proper methods
to be followed In repairing the damage
done. The following suggestions arc
made by the department
The first thing that should be done
is to remove such large broken
branches as are now, or may become
menace 10 life and property; this is
usually best done by cutting at the
point where broken. Attention should
then be given 10 injuries on the main
trunk. If limbs have been split, or
pastially split, from the main trunk,
all splintered wood about the wound
should be removed with a sharp gouge
and mallet if not so situated that
II can be sawed off. The scar should
be SmOothed In the manner indicated
In Farmers Bulletin 1873, Tree Surg
cry, and treated as an open cavity,
or as large surface wound, as the
case may necessitate.
Repair Larger Branches.
Attention should next be given TO
repairing the injuries on the larger
branches in a similar manner, ana
last OF all to the smaller branches.
Sometimes when limb is broken
away the tree is SO weakened at the
point Of breakage that II may again
break in severe wind, and to Obvi-
ate this the top must be pruned back
more or less severely. In case of
split crotches, the advice given in
Farmers Bulletin ITS should be fol-
lowed regarding the general treatment,
including boiling through and above
the crack
In cases of estates where a great
amount Of injury has occurred, and
only q comparatively small force is
available for repairing the damage,
the final cutting of long stubs can be
conveniently left for time, but
wounds or breaks on the main trunk,
or close TO it. should be attended to
promptly, in any case before warm
weather arrives.
Leave Cavities Open.
1t is not necessary TO fill cavities.
II is better in most cases TO leave them
open All final cuts should be i'm
mediately covered with some good an
tlseptic and waterproof paint. 1t will
not be necessary to specially treat the
ends of long stubs that are to be re-
moved close to the trunk later in the
season.
In no part Of repair work should
climbing spurs be used on tree. Spur
marks cause injuries through which 1t
is possible for disease and decay germs
to enter and cause damage, In some
cases more severe than would have
developed from the original simple
break. For details Of treatment of all
scars and wounds send for a copy Of
Farmers Bulletin ITS. which can be
obtained from the Office Of Publica-
tions, Department Of Agriculture,
Washington, ID. c.
Remember that prevention is Detter
than cure. The open wound Of today
becomes the decayed spot of next
year and the deep rotten cavity Of
ten years from now. 1t is better to
spend few days or dollars In care
ful repair work now than hundreds
OF dollars for extensive tree surgery
In 1880.

Journeying in Alaska Under Diff
CultieS,

j. j. Harris is in receipt Of letter
from Jack Little. who used to be cash
Ter of the Harris Bros. bank. but who
has been in Alaska for many years. In
the letter was few pages of The
Tranquilian. a small paper published at
count of trip Mr.. Little took from
Iditarod to the upper Kustokwin valley
in 1908.
As he could not rent or buy horse
he was forced to make the journey on
foot and carry heavy pack. Instead
of travelling by the main trail he
choose near cut, but after following
it for day in the rain it became so
foggy that he realized that it would be
impossible to keep on the trail 50 he
journeyed to the main travel road. On
reaching the road bright idea struck
him. The road followed stream of
water and he conceived the idea of
building raft and floating down the
river instead of trudging along the
road carrying heavy pack. He sue
ceeded in completing and launching
the raft but the rains had swollen the
stream and before the end of the first
days travel the raft along with his
pack. grub and axe was lost and he
reached the bank with only pocket
knife, compass. match box and a few
bites of lunch.
He had yet over hundred miles to
travel and while he had no pack to
carry the food problem had to be solved,
and in order to find berries he had to
leave the trail and make his way along
the hillsides where the berries grew.
He travelled eight day before he reached
settlement and during that time he
had nothing to eat but reindeer moss
and berries. One night he built fire
on the bank of stream and lay down
beside it to sleep. In the night his
clothes caught fire and he had to jump
into the river to save himself, and
spent the rest of the night drying his
clothing which were so badly burned
that he had hard work keeping them
on during the remainder of the journey.
In his journey he had to ford streams
which were swollen by the heavy rains.
He would hunt up small log free of
limb, and placing it in the stream
lay down upon it and swim across One
day in making his way through thicket
he came out on the bank of a stream
face to face with large brown bear
that was fishing. Both he and the
bear were startled, but little bluffing
put the bear to flight and there wasn't
any pursuit. He finally reached the
settlement where he was welcomed and
given food and his clothing repaired so
that he could continue his journey to
his home twenty-five miles farther on.
