Make a frame, say three feet square (or any suitable size),

 allow the stem or trunk of the vine or plant to enter, the frame 

 to be covered with muslin cloth. On one side of the open- 

 ing tack a piece of cloth wide enough to cover the space not 

 already covered. Saturate the cloth with kerosene and place 

 the frame on the ground under the vine or plant ; cover the 

 opening with a loose cloth, tlicn jar the vine or plant ; any in- 

 sect falling upon the saturated cloth will die. This is used at 

 night or in the daytime, according to the habits of the insect 

 to 1)6 destroyed; or a frame in the form of a i)arallelogram, 

 covered with cloth, may be used (of any length required), one 

 placed on each side of the vine or vines, etc., provision being 

 made for covering the open space. This mode of warfare may 

 api)ear as a tedious operation, but for destroying the larva* of
