Methods for the DesiruSian of Caterpillars
TO THE EDITOR.,
Having heard and read of various means foT’
Sopping the ravages cf that deftruclive in:NS*
the Caterpillar, I think none will be found so
j efficacious, and so Ample, as the following, \vh;cft.
ha3 been fuccefsfully tried in France :—Take a
chafirg-ttith with lighted charcoal, and place it
under the branches of the tree, or buffi, whereup
on arc the Caterpillars : then throw a little brim
(tone upon the coals. The vapour cf the ful
i phur, which is mortal to these tnfefls, and the
fnffocating fixed air arising from the charcoal,
i will not only destroy all that are on the tree, but
! will effe&ually prevent the ffirub from being ev
er after infefted with them. A pound of lul
phur will clear as many trees as grow on several
acres. Another method of driving these infects
off fruit trees, is to boil together a quantity of
rue, wormwood, and common tobacco, (of each
cqttal) in cymmon water, The liquor
