It often hagpeus that, either by in- tention. u in pruning, or by accident, trees are wounded in’ various ways. A common preczice is: to cover large wounds with coal tar; but this is ob- jected to by some as injurious to thei tree. Experiments made in the orch-f ards and gardens of the Pomological Institute, at Ruthlegen, in Germany, go to show, however, that its true use is not injurious; but that, on the con-f trary, a caucus readily forms under‘ the tar, on the edges of the wound, and ; that the wounded part is thus protect-I ed from decay. There is, nevertheless, another objection, for if the tar is apâ€" plied a little too thick, the sun melts it, and it runs down on the bark of the tree. This can be obviated by i ixing and stirring and thus incorpor- 1 a: ing with the tar about three or four I times its weight of powdered slate, A known as slate-flourâ€"tbe mixture be- V 1d by a crop secures.
