Trim Trees Arbor Day.

A bulletin issued by the Indiana Forestry Association, from its Indian-, apolis headquarters, says that tree’ planting will not only be in order on Arbor Day, April 17, but it will also be a timely occasion to trim old trees which are already ornamenting public parks, streets and home lawns. The bulletin says that care should be exercised in pruning trees as well as in planting them, and the association strongly opposes “butchery” of the kind that is often indulged in. The association says that every two or three years shade trees should bo carefully gone over, for these trees need attention as much as an orchard. Where have been at work, the tree should be painted with a broad band of “tangle foot.” All broken or decayed limbs should be removed. Where a limb is cut out, care should be taken not to break the bark of the trunk. This can bo avoided by sawing the limb to some depth on the under side before cutting on top. The limb should be cut close to the tree and the scar painted to keep out decay, when the bark will heal over the cut. Where disease has attacked a tree, or a hollow has resulted from any cause, the cavity should be thoroughly cleaned of decayed wood and then filled with a rich mixture of cement. Neglect may within two years ruin an elm or other shade tree that is fifty years old and they should be closely watched for caterpillars and other eneipies, for the trees along an entire street may be destroyed by pests before the attacks are known, unless the trees are under watchful eyes.- / .
