From my experience, says George Webster, 1 am satisfied our fruit and forest trees may be preserved from that éreadful insect, the caterpillar, in a In the year 1305, the large elm at my corner was pearly stript of its leaves by smail cat. erpiflars Various modes to destroy them were made use of, such as cover- ing the body with tar, fish cil, and purping their meats, but without any good effcct., Some day in the: month of July, I was standing at my door, when a gentleman from Niskayuna was passing by. He accosted me in words like these—¢ George “tis a pity to tose so fine a tree.” In answer, « we bave made use of various aricles to destroy them, but without success.” — Send,” says he, * and get a lle! sulphur and bore into the tree about six inches, and fill it with sulpbur,;and my word lor it, not a caterpillar shall be seen after forty-eight hours”) « Will you stay and see it done” «1 will,” said be.” The bole was bored, the sulphur pat in, and a piece of wood the size of acork drove in very strong. t i t j loosing out.

Hints to Farmers.~—Receipts to des- troy insects on plants :—Tie up some four of sulphur in a piece of muslin or fine linen, and with this the Jeaves of young plants should be dusted, or it may be thrown on them by means ol a common swansdown puff, or even by a dredging box. been received of the powerfal influ- ence of sulphur agaiost the whole tribe of insects and worms which ip- fest and prey on vegitables.

It has been like. wise observed, that the verdure and |! other Lealtliful appearadces were per) ceptibly increased, for the quantity of] pew shoots and leaves formed subse. quently to the operation, and having no sulphur on their suifaces served as a kind ol comparative index, and point- ed out distinctly the accumulation of health.
