PERMANENT GRAss.-Water meadows

PINE TREES A PREVENTIVE AGAINST
CANKER WORMs.-An Intelligent friend
in Bedford, who has given considerable
observation to the localities infested by
canker worms, feels justified in the theory
that they will never frequent loo, lities
where pine trees grow; and hence the con-
sideration is naturally awakened whether
the use of pin boughs might not be effic;l-
cious in keeping off these orchard pests
In East Bedford, where pines generally
abound. there have been no canker'worms
except upon the outskirts, ut Thomas
Saw err S where there are no pines. On Mr..
kilam's side, near, by there are pines and
no worms. Starting thence in general

Ipswich and turning north, on the left will
be found pines and no worms, and on the

Newbury and Georgetown on the right
will be found worms and no pines, and on
the left pines and no worms. From
Georgetown going westward worms and
no pines will be found on the right, and
pines and no worms on the left. Running
thence near Boxford, and keeping to the
west to GrOveland, ut the south part Of the

and in the other part, worms and no pines.
Turning southerly an goinc toward An
