Having \v*ttchni carefully the different stages of tiie tn-ect ftom Ju vein her 2, when I dise vend a fe.v of the applet in my garden inferttii, to the pretint date, I am in a ■'o-i o i to ■ flhr a few suggestions upon the eradication . f the moth Tom the Colony. If those itile:o-ted will take the tioulde to follow niv ndve-e, they will get rid of the pest i i about tv. i years :1. From the beginning 1 f October jut lighted lanterns, say four to t‘e acre, and .mug under the largest trees, with a rout d dish underneath, sav 18 inches in nia’i.aUr. near y filled with water; with ’■ii'fq ini of vinegar and Jib treacle well mixed. Examine every morning, and I will oar..;.tec if there are any moths in the gar-■i-n y. u vi 1 tied M ine i f them in the dt-h. Continue the lantern system if your ap|lss ne mfi- cted, occasionally, until the middle ■ I January 2. Examine your apples from November 4. once a week, nud if you find (he insect on them pick them i fit and destroy them hy boiling, and give to pigs if you have any. or throw on the dunghcap. By that means the moth that has escaped the lantern and (ays i.is eggs can he trapped. If your trees ne oi l and very large, and that you cannot i xamine properly, and the insect comes to maturity, which lie will about the middle of December. he will seek for a hiding place after

eaving tbe apple. 3. Ii» st'ipe of matting ■ r gunny bags, nbont 8 indies wide, around il e Morns of the trees a Kw inches from tbe ground. and cx miioe once R week, as if any !i mo escaped from tbe apple you will find them. Description of tbe moth, as I have moved from bunging it from the first stage in tbe apple to iiiaiuuiy, under a bell glass, until it came forth a fa 1 blown moth ;—Dark ve'.low colour, small brown touml spot at back 1 br ad, blown stiipe acioss midd e of wings like a square, edge of wiugs fiiuged with brown, very email minute brown spots ell over tbe wings (to examine pioperly it inquires a magnifying glvs) ; three eighths of rn inch long from tip of nose to tip of wings, md one-eighth across as the wings are closed. Lbfoie it goes into the chrysalis state it is a pinky color, therefore it is very small. When I piowd the identity of the insect it struck m-forcibly that it c-nld be caught by the lantern s'stem. I tried two lanterns on December 3rt, and caught 23 first night, Blst ciuglit ill, and Jai uary 1, caught Ifi in the di-b without the lantern that night, evidently ittiacted by the smell of the vinegar ami tieacle . January 2, caught -10, January 3. ' aught it, ai d January 4, caught 3.1!); that night was \eiy warm and close ; evidently ihev Jon t re ish cold weather. 1 heret'ore, if I han known the identity of tbe moth from tbe beginningof the season, I am certain I wvuld not h.w a ... li. in the garden long before this lime.
