NAILS ~ FRUIT TREES.

Asingular fact, and one worthy
of being recorded, was mentioned
q few days since by Mr.. AlcXan-
der Duke, Of AlPcrmarlr. He
stated that whilst on a visit to a
neighbor his attention was called
to u large peach orchard, every
tree Of which was totally destroy
ed by the raYagcs Of the worm.
with the exception Of three, and
these were the most thrifty and
hourishipg peach trees he ever
saw, The only cause Of their SUI
pcriority known to his host was
an experiment made in consc-
oucncc Of observing that those
parts Of W~Qrm-catcn timber INTO
which nails had been driven were
generally sound. When his trees
were about u year old he drove y
tcnpcnny nail through the body,
as near the ground as possible
whilst the balance Of his orchard
had gradually failed, and finally
yielded entirely to the ravagcs Of
the worms, tbcsc trees, selected
at random, treated precisely in
the same manner, with the cXccp-
ton of the mailing, had always
been healthy, furnishing him at
the very period with the greatest
profusion Of fine most luscious
fruit, 1t is supposed that the
salt Of iron afforded by the nails
is offensive to the worm, while it
is harmless, pclh p even bencii-
,cial, to the tree.
4 chemical writer on the sub
.ject says: "Ihc oyydatidn qG r0s-
ting Of iron by the sap, evolves
ammonia, which, as the sap rises,
