should be lapped or battened. The sides need not be either lapped or battened 
and are set on edge, thus giving a face, fronting the wind of 5 x 8 and sides 
extending 8 feet back and 5 feet high. The tree occupies the north-west end in 
this enclosure, Just touching with the tips of its branches the upright side. 
The fire is placed as near the tree as may be without scorching the leaves, 
and it need not be large. The air currents act as they do with the triangle, 
carrying the smoke and heat forward, through the tree, against the north-west 
side and up over the top, and back with the direct current of air through that 
art of the tree which may be above it, if the tree should be higher than the 
tice or north-west side.

I like this style of protection because it is effective, easily managed, and 
cheap. The re-sawed material—about 2th of an inch thick—should not cost 
Sih above 5 dollars per 1,000 surface feet. The sections are quickly made 
up, and, if properly eared for, are durable. It is easily set up and quickly 
removed. With proper bracing—one good stick for each section and a tie 
across the south-east end of the sides—is safe against hard blows, and there is 
not enough shading of the tree to cause injury.
