Locust Trees. — It is well known that this 

 species of shade trees is very subject to be de- 

 stroyed by the " Borer," a worm which hores 

 into the trunk. We are informed that Dr. Free- 

 man Edson, of Scottsville, has preserved his lo- 

 custs when attacked in this way, by boring seve- 

 ral holes with a small auger around the trunks of 

 the trees, and filling them with a paste composed 

 of sulphur and oil of wormwood. The holes 

 are to be closely plugged .after filling. It may 

 be worth while to try so easy an experiment. —
