PARK AND CEMETERY 
OBITUARY. 
Major Walter A. Donaldson, superin- 
tendent of the National Cemetery at 
Baltimore, Md., died February 7, of 
blood poisoning as a result of a slight 
wound in his hand. Since the Civil War 
Mr. Donaldson had been superintendent 
of national cemeteries at Antietam, Md., 
Marietta, Ga., Winchester, Va., City- 
Point, Va., and Beaufort, S. C. He was 
also a veteran actor, and had played with 
Junius Brutus Booth in 1853. 
Alfred H. Smiley, of Redlands, Cal., 
died at his home in Canyon Crescent 
Park, in that city, January 25, at the age 
of 75 years. Mr. Smiley was well known 
for his work in outdoor improvements 
in connection with development of Red- 
lands and summer resorts in the Adi- 
rqndacks, at Lake Mohawk and Lake 
Minnewaska, N. Y. He was born in 
Maine, and was first engaged in edu- 
cational work. He was prominent in 
church and charitable work, and widely 
known and highly respected in both East 
and West. 
"BODLIME" AND CANKERWORMS. 
William H. Spooner, Esq., Ex-Presi- 
dent of the Massachusetts Horticultural 
Society, writes as follows : “Last aut- 
umn I used Bowker’s ‘Bodlime’ on my 
elm, cherry and apple trees as a prevent- 
ive against the canker-worm and with 
excellent success. My trees have never 
been so free from depredations of this 
insect as now. I consider the experiment 
a success, and shall use ‘Bodlime’ again. 
As the material is applied to the tree 
without paper, it is much more conveni- 
ent to use than printer’s ink.” Shade 
trees at Hanover, N. H., have suffered 
severely in recent years from the attacks 
of canker-worm. Last year the village 
authorities decided to try “Bodlime,” 
manufactured by the Bowker Insecticide 
Company, of Boston, and Village Com- 
missioner P. R. Bugbee writes as fol- 
lows : “Answering your recent letter 
concerning the use of ‘Bodlime’ for pre- 
venting damage to trees by the canker- 
worm, I beg to say that we used over 
1,000 pounds on the shade trees of the 
village this spring. We found it very 
effective, and its thorough use is all that 
saved our trees from the ravages of the 
pest.”
