good one, but passing a loop around a 

 tree and using blocl<s to prevent con- 

 tact of tlip wire witli tlie tree is better 

 tlian rescrtins; to tlie use of duplicate 

 poles anc' props. In many cases it is 

 unnecessary to attach wires from 

 ])Olos to trees, since the poles can be 

 imbedc'ed in Portland cement and held 

 firn,ly in place, which would prevent 

 much injury to trees. It should be 

 liolnted t:ut, liowever, that there is al- 

 ways a risk in attaching wires in any 

 way to trees, as lightning discharges 

 are likely to pass from the guy wires 

 to the trees and damage; them, and a 

 great deal of disfigura.tion is caused 

 by live wires coming into contact with 

 dead onet. 



No authentic cases are known of an 

 alternating current, of whatever po- 

 tential, killing trees, and tlie injuries 

 from this current are restricted to 

 burning r.nd disfiguration. High ten- 

 s-ion cunents are more dangerous than 

 tliose of lew tension, conseqaeutly 

 more attention must be given to thj 

 matter of insulation. There arc au- 

 thentic cases of a direct current, how- 

 evei, such as employed by electric rail- 

 ways, killing trees, and there is also 

 evidence to supjjort the idea that trees 

 may be injured or killed by bein.? 

 connected by guy wires with this 

 s.vstem. 



y.:~ny more trees are injured by gas 

 than formerly, which is due to the 

 fact that gas is used much more ex- 

 tensively, is conveyed in larger pipes 

 and the system of calking the joints 

 is quite different from that foi-merly 

 employed. 



Occasional injury is brought about 

 by at;nn:-piieric gases — the result of the 

 combustion of coal. This is more 

 likely to occur in places where large 

 amounts of soft coal are burned. 

 Evergreens are poculiavly susceptible 

 to gas poisoning, and often die from 

 its ttfects. 



Injury is sometimes caused by the 

 use of crude petroleum or kerosene. 

 These are frequently employed for 

 spraying the trunks of trees for the 

 woolly aphis and other in.sects, but it 

 is never safe to apply them ev3n when 

 mixed with water, and many of the 

 banding substances which have been 

 used in connection with the suppre.^- 

 sion of the gypsy moth are extremely 

 injurious to trees. 



Much attention has bpen giving to 

 filling tr«es in recent years, and by 

 this practice the life of a tree is un- 

 doubtedly prolonged. There are two 

 methods of treatment, one consisting 

 in cleaning tiie cavities t'!orou,ghly, re- 

 moving all decayed tissue and treating 

 the interior with tar or paint. The ori- 



fice of the cavity is then covered with 

 tin and i)ainted. In the other method 

 the tree is filled with Portland cement 

 after it has been thoroughlv cleaned 

 and disinfected, using the same pro- 

 liortions as are ordinarily employed 

 in construction work. One of the dith- 

 ciilties in the use of Portland cement 

 for this work is the cracking of the ce- 

 ment in large cavities when the tree 

 swa,ys, which allows fungi to enter in 

 and reinfect the trees. Much more at- 

 tention is given to the care of trees 

 ihan formei-ly, and there are several 

 reliable Pims which are doing excel- 

 lent work at the preseni; time.
