They both come from egg laid by lx-e-tle. The beetle of the round-headed borer in alnjut three-fourth of an inch long, and ha two broad, creamv-white tripe running the whole lengtli of it Ixxlv. The beetle of the Hal-headed borer ia of a shining greenish-black color, with it under lide of a shining coppery color. Thi borer attack the whole trunk and often the larger branclien, while the former conline ita attack to the base of the trunk alinoxt entirely. The beetle lay their egg in the South in May and at the North in June and July. The lnelle of the round-headed borer generally lays it egg at dunk, ami ia bidden during the day. The Ixretleof the flat-headed Lorer ia' a lively fellow. He like the hot sunshine, and mm very rapidly up and down the bark in bright day, but inntantly take wing if an attempt ia made to capture him. Nothing can be done to kill tlie egg, but a good preventive i to coat the trees with oit (oap, planter of Darin and paria green during the time the beetle are abundant. The soap ia dintanteful to the beetle; the planter of pari makes it atick, and the paria green will ponton any young that may hatch from the egg. The 'only way to kill the inwx-t after they are' in the tree 1 by rutting them out or running a wire into their burrow. All tree ahould be looked over in the fall and (pring and have the borer re moved. r U KIMI Mil IT. fin ul Ik Mux! Important Problems He for Ik rowrs of Ta-aar.
