 of them, that while a twig remains, no other plant will be 

 touched, and though eat to the ground every winter, they will 

 fpring with additional vigour the fucceeding fummer, and con-

 lings worth of feed, properly raifed and diftributed, will furnifli 

 plants enough to prote6l 500,000 other trees. Many expen- 

 iive and laborious experiments have been ineffe^lually tried to 

 prote6l young plantations from thefe rapacious enemies : Here is 

 a cheap and no lefs certain remedy; and, however fimple the dif- 

 covery may appear, the effedls of it will be of the higheft c onfi- 

 deration to every planter who puts it in pradice.
