Tree Burgeon Is tho customary tltlo of tho expert who devotes himself to ministering to Blck nnd In whether "tree doctor" would not be much ns In with trees es with huma clan than tho surgeon that Is need Tho tree doctor Is, perforce, a spe be added thnt the subject Is n much first thought, siinpect, and Is well w llfo work nnd tho Ufa study of tho that, "tree doctoring" within a limit ties of any farmer or other' private Just as gardening may bu made a sue to being a fancy gardener. Indeed, tho owner of nny wooded land who desires to preserve tho mature forest growth Is all but compelled to delve Into the loro on this subject If ho does not wnnt to employ a profes sional forester, and tho farmer who wants to proservo tho priceless herlt ngo of the stately trees thnt surround and shade the Ideally-placed farm house must do likewise. One phaso of tree doctoring that the layman can undertake almost as successfully as the professional Is that embraced In preventive meas ures. With trees, as with all other growing things, tho policy of tho ounce of prevention Is a wise one and moreover there are somo wealthy men who own large estates In this country who-employ tree doctors as the Chinese employ physicians to keep them well rather than to cure them after sickness has set In. This "stitch In tlmo" policy as applied to trees Is particularly serviceable in the case of the1 Insects, etc., which play 'such havoc with tree growth If left to carry on their depredations unmo lested. It is always preferablo and usually simpler to bar pests of this kind from tho cherished trunk and branches than it Is to banish them onco they have gained a foothold. Speaking of' ths responsibility in tree doctoring directs attention to tho exceedingly varied 'activities- that are em braced in tho ministering to our sylvan treasures. There are numerous different meth ods of circumventing the caterpillars and other objoctionablo invaders, nnd there nro llke wiso any number of prescriptions that may bo tried out if tho pests havo taken possession of trees ere tho alarm Is given. Prominent among uioho inner jemeuiai measures are tno, various rmsor tree spraying for which special ap- paratus is now provided and apropos of which extensive experiments have been carried on to determine tho most effective formula to be in troduced as spray. Another branch of tree sur-. gery deals with the intelligent removal of dead or diseased limbs of trees and the repair of dam age done by Are, lightning, high winds, etc. And Anally we come to the true surgery which in the case of trees, as with people,1 involves 'the re-' moval of portions of the vital tissue; the termi nation of decay or disease1; and the substitution of other substances jn the case of trees, con crete being a favorito medium for closing wounds nd fostering tho healing process. It might be supposed by many readers that tree doctoring would be restricted largely to the country and' suburban districts, but such is very far from being the case. Indeed, tt would seem as though the residents of our towns and cities prize their trees more highly and are willing to do more to preserve tbem than are the farmer class and, perhaps, this is natural considering that tall, stately trees are much rarer in cities than in the rural districts. At any rate most of our large cities now employ one or more tree doctors to look after the trees in their parks and the shade trees on streets and boulevards, whereas it is becoming almost imperative for a man who aspires to the vpoil tlon of tfead gardener on any large prlvato estate to have enough knowledge of 'ailing or insect-infested trees to cope with the situation. - v The'U. S. Department of Agriculture and the tate governments In many of our leading spates In the world Is thin doctoring dono co thor oughly na In the United 8tatea. Tho Invention of special spray lug apparatus began nti eaily UK tho 18S0, nnd that tlmo yi-nr 1ms tho advent new and year bIiico ench been of tin- WrFLUGfNT PRUNINQ Or TffttJ I .PO their attention to' the problems presented In this field. In tho caeo of Uncle Sam's Hureau of Entomology the activities arc not confined to in ducing good health In trees but extend to all Borts of investigations and experiments regarding injurious insects affecting field crops, fruits, Binnll fruits and truck crops ns well as tho for ests and forest products. This research institu tion has devoted much time and money to the introduction In the United States of beneficial in sects that is insects which prey upon those creatures that harm the trees and is all the while carrying on tests and experiments with Insecticides and insecticide machinery. Not the least Important function of this government insti tution Is the identification of insects for anybody who applies for such information. Dy this means a farmer or' householder discovering an unknown bug on his trees may ascertain the record of the mysterious visitor together with hints as to bow to get rid of him in case he is an undesirable. Probably the most extensive and most costly project in tree doctoring in the history of the world Is that which has been in progress for some years past in the state of Massachusetts. The object of this prolonged battle is to exterminate or hold in check the gypsy moth, which, with other kindred species, has threatened to destroy the trees throughout the Old Bay State, if not, indeed, throughout New England. In this fight millions of dollars have been expended, the ex perts employed by the state of Massachusetts working band in hand with Uncle Sam's experts, headed by C. L. Marlatt, perhaps the greatest authority In the world. It is probably a trifle early to say that the fight has been won, but cer tain it Is that much headway has been gained and doubtless the damage will be restricted to its present area. Tremendous suru are expended every year in spraying for orchard Insects. It is estimated that not less than $5,000,000 Is thus expended each' year' In, holding. In check the codling moth and an equally large sum is devoted yearly to now maintain special departments tnati devote ' treatmerita against ,the San Jose scale, Nowhere proved apparat us.

Whore the rolson charged liquid employed for sprny lng must be hauled Rome distance It Is custom ary to resort to outfits of liberal tank capacity, and many of these ran go from 150 to 300 gallops. For spraying high .trees t it Is neces sary to uso an elevated tower or flntform built upon a wngon nnd with one man on the tower and two men on th,o ground spraying may be carried on -with I the greatest possible degree of efficiency. Of course, a good length of hose is essential one-half lndh being a popular size, and It should be cnpable of standing 200 pounds' pressure per squtio Inch. Trees In towns and cities are naturally much more liable to such injuries ns will later require the practice of treo surgery than nro those In the country districts. The piling of building material ngalnst trees, the attaching of guy wires and the grading of streets or ronds nro all causes pro ductive of injuries. Overcrowding by other trees, horse bites and girdling by wire labels aro other sources of trouble. One of tho worst of nil, how over, is improper pruning or treo butchery. As a matter of fact, Intelligent, systematic pruning and treo surgery aro very cloLely related. Pruning requires a previous Intimato knowledge of tho habits of growth of trees, whereas surgery on the other hand requires in addition a knowl edge of the best methods for making cavities air tight nnd preventing decay. Tho principle is much tho samo ns that employed by tho dentists who fill cavities in tho teeth of human beings, nnd this caring for the cnvltles in trees Is the only means of preserving affected specimens and snving to this and future generations some of the noblest specimens of woodland growth. The favorite mixture for filling cavities Is composed of one part Portland cement to three parts of clean, sharp sand. After all decayed or decaying matter has been, removed from the cavity the whole cavity Is filled with this thin mortar, and then, when this has had time to become stiff, but not bard, there is applied a surface coat made of one part sand and one part cement and the surface Is so faced as to exclude all mois ture from the opening of the cavity. It should be noted In conclusion that Provi dence has provided us with the best tree doctor In the form of that familiar and unappreciated bird, the woodpecker. The woodpecker is easily the most useful of all the seven hundred varieties of birds to be found in the United States and it is largely because of his constant search for and warfaro against the four hundred different varie ties of insects that prey upon our trees. The woodpecker is not merely a tree doctor, but is actually a tree surgeon because his most ener getic quest Is for those Insects that Injure the tree Internally and to which access can be gained only by means of the unique equipment with which nature has provided the woodpecker and from the employment of which he derives his name. As a rule the woodpecker makes only shallow holes so that his work may properly be dignified as tree surgery that leaves no scars, which is not the least of its advantages. THE SKIN AND COMPLEXION "Oh. wad some power the glftle Rive us To see ourielvee as Ithera sea 'us." , t Burns.

'Pinching or riibblngl the skin tends to draw a greater supply oft blood to the parts massaged. This Increased circulation brinks extra nourishment with It and also tends to carry away more waste material. Pimples and black-heads show that the waste material Is not being car ried away properly but is being left to clog the pores. Sometimes this ac cumulation of waste material is due to lack i of cleanliness.

Tho eating of tho king's food would bo a break ing of the Jewish law as to food, and thus be a repudiating of tho religion of the true God. Tho dietary would almost certainly comprise articles of food, such as tho flesh of swine, hares, etc., which the law Interdicted to the Israelites. The young men were greatly favored by having a fpiend at court. God had brought Daniel into favor and tender love; had made him to And kindness and compassion. God had made Dan iel lovable, giving him attractlvencsi of person and wisdom of mind; more over, the Holy Spirit had doubtless moved directly upon tho heart of Asbpenaz, turning b'.m toward Daniel.
