I notice, however, recently that some care is being given them by some one who knows a good deal about txee-care. ; "The city's treeacould be greatly helped by having an expert tree-doctor" to make, the rounds and prescribe for thenvi'or instance, there havo been -countleaa-tHunberef-trees injured In this city by the laying of sidewalks and pavements, that can be put In- good con dition and their lives lengthened many years by proper treatment and care, ; Should B "Doctored." -" "From the standpoint of doctoring, trees require the same care as human beings In that they should be doctored, tiursed and cared for in the most scien tific way. f. The principle is the same. For instance, when a limb Is amputated, the Idea, Is the same as in amputating the leg or the ami of person. It should be attended to scientifically and not Just any old way. Tree surgery is a science and Us most important branch ' Is pruning. ' '. ""' 1 ' ' "" "The fundamental principles of prtn Ing should be, first to cut off a branch as close and parallel with the trunk as possible, for every stub left by a branch cut off at a point distant from Its or igin is. bound to decay and drop out, leaving a cavity that must at some time be filled with cement. ' -. "The second principle to be remem bered la that every wound caused by the removal of a limb or from being bruised should be covered with a good antiseptic paint that will penetrate in to the wood. - -Possibly tha most linporUnt princl: pie of pruning is to be as sparing and judicious in your pruning as possiDia, . Too Much. JPraaintT. . - "Too much pruning is bad; no branch should be removed from a tree except for a good reason. All pruning should commence at the top of the tree ana finish with the lowest limbs. Every shortened branch should terminate in a small twig, so that the leaves on the twig may draw- the sap to tha fresh wound and heal it over. When large branch is to be removed It should be cut off in sections so as not to strip the bark from the trunk, when tha heavy limb-breaks away, - . .v-,. :. 1 "Tree dentistry Is next in Importance to 'tree surgery however, if trees were properly taken cara of surgically there would be little need lor ne tree aeniist In other w'ofds, where trees have aVways been taken care of properly there will be no cavities to nil. in oia, negiectea trees, cavity filling Is only profitable where it can eliminate all moisture, and where all diseased wood can be removed before the filling Is put in.
