Canker-worm Remedy. 



Some gardeners have successfully employed Paris 

 green to destroy the -oanker-worm. The Paris green is 

 mixed with water at about the same rate as for pota- 

 toes, or about one tablespoonful to a common -si zed 

 water-pail. It is thrown on the trees by means of a 

 *>and-forcing pump, through a rose having two or three 

 dozen perforations a tenth of an inch in diameter. The 

 Paris green must of course be kept well stirred to pre 

 vent its settling to the bottom of the ^essel of water. A 

 convenient method is to place a barrel of water in a 

 wagon, with a pail for making the mixture, and a 

 supply of the poison ; and then mix and use as needed 

 \rhile driving through the orchard. The application 

 being made early in the season while the youiig fruit 

 is quite small, all vestiges are washed off by rains long 

 before the fruit ripens. 



Xomnto-worma. 



Hand-picking is the only effectual remedy.
