Lastly, the Apple Tree Bo>•ers.' Borers in, tipple trees—and in most other trees also—tire caused by, or, to put it more exactly, are the young of certain beetles, which, from May until July, lay their eggs upon the bark of tbo tree. Il'ronl these, eggs hatch in a week or ten day's, certain very small grabs which, according to their instinct, bore at once into the bark of the tree mid begin their tunnels up, down and around the trunk. There are a large number'. of these boring beetles, but the most common and destructive species are known as Saperda Candida, which is the parent of the round -headed borer, more commonly found in the lower part of the' trunk, and Chryso- bothrus femorata, the parent of the ilat•1)eaded borer, which works in the upper part of the trunk and in the large branches, To prevent the beetles:from laying their eggs upon the bark and to kill such young larvae as may be hateh. ing, it is advisable to paint the trunks of the trees two or three times dur- ing the summer with one or the other of the following washes: (1) A very strong solution of soft soap --one quart soap to two anger —to which washing soda is added to stiffen it to the consistency of paint. Apply with large paint or whitewash brush or with a swab of cloth attach- ed to a stick. (2) Solution of soap to which is ad- ded to every gallon one table spoon- ful of carbolic acid and one-fourth pound sulphur. Apply as above. A lady who has used this receipt for years, and those trees are remark- able for their beauty and vigor, as- sured Ise that only one application, early in June, was needed to i'epel the beetles and to kill such of the minute grubs as had already hatch- ed. Where these precautions have been taken and evidence of borer work has been found, the orchardist should arm himself • with -a sharp pocket knife, a bit of wire pointed and curv- ed into a hook at one end, and a •small can of turpentine. The situation of the borer can be detected by. small sawdust -like parti- cles here and there on the bark.
