RE-tlEDY FOR CANKER WORMS. 



The subscriber having obtained letters patent for his cir- 

 cular metallic trough and roof for preventing canker worms 

 or other insects from ascending fruit or other trees, now offers 

 his services to apply the same to any extent that may he 

 wanted. They were put on to three orchards belonging to 

 Jonathan Dennis in Portsmouth, R. I., in the autumn of 

 1837, and exterminated the canker worms so completely 

 that some of tho trees hang so full of anples as to render it 

 necessary to prop them, although 1 hey have been eaten by 

 the worms for a number of years previous, notwithstanding 

 the application of tar. The public are invited to examine 

 the orchards above referred to. The trough and roof is 

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

 and the ends soldered together and made enough larger than 

 the tree to allow the trees lo grow ten years belore it wdl hll 

 the space. The space between the trough and the tree is 

 » filled with hay, straw, seaweed, or anv substance that is easily 

 compressed bv the growth of the tree ; the trough is kept in 

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

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

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

 merer .K little cheap oil is sufficient to fill the troughs and 

 filling them three times has been found to answer for one 

 year,°by stirring the oil once sometime after they are filled. 

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

 make early application lo the subscriber, postage paid. For 

 sale, State, Town and County rights by
