You will hear all kinds of "hobbies" as to how a tree should be "pruned"; but, the fact is, when a branch has to come off entire, there is but one correct place to make the cut. Turn again to photo 4. In the left-hand specimen the saw has been run in and a piece of paper is placed there. About 2 inches to the right of the paper is a prominence, which is what we call the " shoulder." At this place nature always makes a vigorous effort to heal. This is a very strong point that connects the limb with the trunk of the tree. It answers to the "socket" of the arm. If you look at the middle subject, in that photo, you will see what an effort nature made in one year to heal at this shoulder, but could not, because the dry stub was in the way. Look still farther to the right-hand one, and see what a desperate attempt was made to close in after the decaying piece that stood in the way and conveyed the air, water and frost down the wood fibre, where it wrought such destructive work!
