Peach Trees.

The premature death Of the Pcati
Trees is subject of almost general
remark ami regret. The caHse bas
been traced 10 two more species o.
W orm and ca'terpiIlars-the former
o. whi"h prey upon the bark Of the
root and lower part Of the trunk. The
juices Of the tree exude from the
wounds caused by these worms, and
thetr dies for the want of that nu-
lriment which It is accustomed Il
draw from the root. In order then
to destroy these worms, lift the sod
which is around the trunk of the tree.
as far as the largest rosts of it ex.
tend, and throw common wood ashc,
over il, the lye of which will sink
down. and, as il is said, kill these
perniciOus worms.
To destroy the caterpillar. you need
only place fresh sod (sod side up) ir
the largest crotch Of the tree, below
the nest. and in a few hours you will
find their camp in confusion--in two
days they will be all in cluster AT
the top OF the nest--the third day
they will disappear-and the fourth day
their nest will be like a honey comb
all in shivers, and not one TO iIe seen
