Wherever you go, you hear complaints that these valuable trees are dying, and numerous receipts to preserve them have all proved useless. I feel it therefore, a duty owe to our country, to give publici- ty to simple remedy which have proved efficacious for many years.

Let it be done close to the body, & then with a sharp broad chisel, pare it smooth' ht- tie rising in the middle, then apply com pound of boiling tar and plaster-parls or brickdust, with about one fourth part hne- ly pounded charcoal-the last however IS not essential. This must be so th'cK' when hot, as to spread like plaster over the part. and the young bark will continue to grow under it, until finally it throws all of, and leaves no trace of amputation.
