Lnte* August is the time to watch your valuable old shade and fruit trees Watch for the hollow trunk, the bro ken limb or the exposed wound where fungi may enter and ruin the stately aid friend. From any wound remove all the de rayed wood, with a chisel and adz. to ;he sound, hard wood, and smooth ofi the edges of the cavity to allow the free growth of the inner bark. After the cavity has been thoroughly cleaned out. disinfect it with corrosive sublimate, creosote or even paint. Creosote is better, as It penetrates far ther Into the wood. The cavity should now be filled with concrete, one part portland cement to two parts sand. Make It thin, so that it can be poured In at the top of the opening. When the cavity Is large It Is necessary to re-enforce the concrete by placing iron bars across the Inside. It is also best to drive large nails part way in around the Inside, and this enables the con crete to adhere better to the trunk. As the filling shrinks considerably In large cavities the walls should be first coated with a thick layer of tar. This expands and fills the shrinkage crack, making the cavity air tight. There Is Sow no chance for any disease to enter nnd get In Its work. After the filling lias set ft little the surface houkl be smoothed off even with the inner bark. In a few years the cambrlum will completely cover the filling, making a good looking tree. Practice With Wooden Legs. Of the five cases in the accident ward that were pronounced cured at the same time three remained in the hospital more than a week after the other two had gone home. “They had to stay." said an Interne, “to get used to their wooden legs, it takes some time to learn to manage wooden legs, and most men who will have to (»eg along with them for the rest of their natural lives stay in the hospital several days after they get well to practice stumping around on their new legs. Of course they can learn outside, but the man who has just acquired a wooden leg feels so awk ward and is so likely to fall down and break tlie other leg or an arm or maybe his neck that we prefer to keep him here so he can take his first les sons under our supervision.” — New York Times.
