Sometimes, to fill the cavity to the top, it is necessary to bore a hole from above and to pour in the wet concrete. After the filling is in place care- fully paint over any exposed wood, especially where it comes in contact with the cement.

A newly finished job, however, may be protected from several degrees of frost by tying a heavy blanket or some old sacking over it. Do not let the cold prevent your cleaning out and painting the wounds now. In the spring, after further treatment if required, the filling may be put in in a few minutes. How to Mend a Split Next to decay, spUtting from wind or ice or over-fruiting probably causes more damage than anything else. Besides the breaking apart of limbs there is usually more or less injury to the ad- jacent bark. In cases of this kind the limbs should be put back into their proper position as soon as possible by tying heavy chains or ropes round them—protecting the bark with old sacking or slats of wood—and twist- ing these tight with an iron or stout wooden bar. To hold the damaged Hmbs in place permanently it is well to have made iron rods of the right length, with ring bolts at each end. Extra large washers, which may be shghtly countersunk into the outer surfaces of the limbs, should be used for the bolts. AU injured parts should be cut away and the surfaces painted thickly just before the pieces are drawn tightly into place, as shown in the drawing on this Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance
