Mr.. EDIToR.-I would warn your readers to
keep the ink renewed and soft. Soften by
little fish oil, rosn oil, lamp oil; even kerosene
oil will answer. Do not let it run on the bark
of the tree. But if the paper has absorbed the
ink, and the surface has become dryish, the
female moth may crawl over it and get high
enough mp to do her mischief. They are now
crawling up the trees in considerable numbers
in spite of our having had no frost, and l OBJ
served one in Spring street that had nearly
succeeded in getting over place in which the
ink had become somewhat absorbed by the
paper. H.
