To KILL THE BoRER.

The owner of ounce orchard OF
5000 trees keeps the borer from them
by going through the orchard and
killing the borers with sharp wire.

had by protecting the trunk from an
inch or two below the surface to the
hel8ht of twenty inches or two feet
The main thing, be says, is to prevent
the beetle from depositing its eggs.
For this purpose he procured stout
cloth and had it cut in fifteen-inch
squares. These he dipped in hot gas
tar and pitch mixed, and when coated
he wrapped piece around the trunk
OF each tree. The prevention was
perfect. He found afterward that
paper would do as well. He explained
that the borer, which enters some dis
lance above the ground, differs from
the ordinary variety. 1t is called the
fat-headed borer, which does its mis-.
chief near the ground, even below the
surface in the roots OF trees. -Chicago
