J. H. Fennel communicated the fol lowing successful mode of preventing insects ascending the trunks of fruit trees: Let a piece of India rubber be burned over a gallipot, into which it will gradually drop in the condition of a viscid juice, which state, it appears, it will always retain ; for Mr. Pennel has at the present time some which has been melted for upward of a year, and has been exposed to all weathers without undergoing the slight est change. Having melted the India rubber, let a piec...e of cord or worsted be smeared with it, and then tied sev eral times around the trunk. This melted substance is so very sticky that the insects will be prevented, and can be captured, in their attempts to pass over it. About three ORDER IV. MOTHS AND BUTTERFLIES. 179 penny-worth of India rubber is sufficient for the protection of twenty ordinary-sized fruit trees. " These are about all the directions necessary to give for preventing the ravages of insects injurious to our trees ; and, if they are carefully and perseveringly followed out, will be effectual, in saving many a fine orchard from desola tion and decay.
