Fig. 78. round the trees in autumn, is not often adopted, and hence we have frequent inquiries, " What shall we do to save our mice- gnawed trees?" Fig. 76 represents the stem of a young tree entirely girdled near the surface of the ground. The tree will, of course, per- ish unless a connection is made between the two portions of bark. An easy way to repair this damage is represented in Fig. ^^

An easy way to repair this damage is represented in Fig. ^^. It consists merely in fitting into openings, made with a half-inch chisel, short pieces of round wood sharpened at both ends to fit the chisel-cuts. These cuts are made by placing the chisel, when making the lower cuts, nearly upright or slightly inclining outward from the tree, and then placing the point upward in a corresponding direction when making.
