they jjrefer climbing’ to flying-, for they are seldom 
to be seen on the wing, and therefore I dare say, 
rather than fly to obtain possession of the ti’ee, 
they will travel on foot elsewhere to obtain pro- 
vision. If the trees should be in their possession 
before the tar is applied, after it is done the tree 
must be well shaken, to force them to the gi’ound. 
For Wall trees allurements of Bean straw's, or a 
narrow board or boards may be laid close to the 
w'all, flat, or nearly so. Should they be on the 
tree, wisk them oft’ with a fine soft wisk, so as not 
to bruise the leaves. When they are in their 
harbours, after this operation, either late in the 
evening or early in a morning, pour scalding 
water upon them. Similar steps may be taken 
for those infesting vegetables, or other plants 
as directed on Rasps and Peas. 
Seedlings, such as Thyme, Sweet Maijoram, 
and various other plants, which appear to waste 
while in their seed leaf, should be carefully at- 
tended to, to discover the depredators, as it will 
often prove that the damage is done by some of 
this genus, and probably by some that are so 
minute as to be scarcely visible to the naked eye. 
Lures as on Peas may be formed in the alleys and 
the beds should be watered with the Mixture 
(No. 7), on a dry day, which will destroy the 
small kinds it falls upon, and banish those not 
destroyed to harbour in the lures, where they must 
be destroyed w'ith scalding water.
