RE.tlEDY FOR CANKER WORMS. 



I'he subscriber having obtained letters patent for his cir- 

 ar metallic trough and roof for preventing canker worms 

 ilher insects from ascending fruit or other trees, now offers 



services to apply the same to any extent that may be 

 nted. They were put on to three orchards belonging to 

 lathan Dennis in Portsmouth, R. L, in the autumn of 

 7, and exterminated the canker worms so completely 

 t some of the trees hang so full of apples as to render it 

 essary to prop them, although they have been eaten by 



worms for a number of years previous, notwithstanding 



application of tar. The public are invited to examine 



orchards above referred to- The trough and roof is 



de of lead and bent to conform to the shape of the tree, 



I the ends soldered together and made enough larger than 



tree to allow the trees to grow ten years before it will fill 

 : space Ttie space between the trough and the tree is 

 |ed with hay, straw, seaweed, or any substance that is easily 

 Inpresseil by the growth of the tree ; the trough is kept in 

 I place by three nails driven into the tree below it ; when 

 ; tree has grown so as to fill the space, the trough may be 

 arged by putting in a short piece so as to answer ten years 

 ►re. A little cheap oil is sufficient to fill the troughs and 

 iog them three limes has been found to answer for one 

 jr, by stirring the oil once sometime after they are filled, 

 lose who wish to have their trees fitted, would do well to 

 ike early application to the suiiscriber, postage paid. For
