Show Watering Trees on Lawn. One of the shade trees in front, of our lawn was so badly rubbed by a horse that the leaves wilted and the trees seemed to be going to die, but it was saved by a heroic Irrigation treatment. treat-ment. A pail of water was tied to a limb of the tree and a twig about the size of a lead pencil Inserted in the water, after having the end cut off, say a writer in an exchange. The water wa-ter was absorbed by capillary attraction, attrac-tion, and after a week's treatment tha tree was as fresh as ever. In hot dry weather I afterwards tried the same plan on all trees on our lawn, and found It to be by far the most effective effec-tive method of watering them. |
