breeze. Sometimes even the mere
weight of the withered leaf causes,
it to drop off.
As a frugal farmer harvests his
crips preparatory to their winter
storage, so also do trees begin before
midsifinmer to make ready lor their
harvest of the precious life-giving
substance called cambium. It is
colorless and slimy in texture, and
I lies between the bark and wood of
I the tree.
t During the spring and early smji-
! mer the tree manufactures this im-
p riant cambium substance in its
laboratory and diffuses it out over
its network of leaves. As the summer
wanes and the sap ceases its upward
trend, starch making in the leaf
to brand Lodge, laboratory also declines. The tree
then begins its conservation pro-
gram by withdrawing the leaf pulp
before winter sets in. This substance
recedes first from the margin of
the leaves, and while doubtless
some of it is carried by the leaves
to the ground, the bulk of it reaches
Mon.
Trees are always attired from
crown to roots in perfect taste, and
they have their changes of costumes
too, Just as do humane. In the spr-
ingtime, summer, fall and winter,
th» trees of the forest present an
ever-changing attire: As different
nations of people are known by
their national dress, so is each
family of trees known by Its parti-
cular style of costuming. Hie Stal-
wart pine, erect'as liny soldier, is
well-groomed In a year-round grren
uniform, trimmed with handsomely
carved brown cone buttons. This cos-
tume is appropriately adapted to
the chill mountain heights where,
the pine likes best to dwell. Pines in
a row are like soldiers ill single,file
marching to double-quick time. And
In the deep pine woods they appear
as great companies of soldiers and
seemingly march in rhythmic step
With the music of the wind In their
branches, it is net difficult to ima-
gine the note* of? martial strains.
The sprightly sumac and the
flaming Spanish Oak are vivacious
Spanish-dancers who fling their
shaws of gold and scarlet with reck-
less abandon in thc mad Whild Of a
