It bucume established in J America about 1882, and lu.s already caused much injury in the vicinity of NYw York City ami Huston.

An oidluarv machinist's oil can will greatly facilitate work with this insecticide. . The hickory hark hurrr, deadly clientv of : valuable forest and shade tree, has dvsrmycd thousands of magnificent trees in th- central part of New York State, and is now killing mam hickories in the Hudson Valley, especially in rh. vicinity of New York City. The small, brown 1 1 black beetles, only about l inch long. ap|H-:>t from the last of June co tin* last of July, and bore into young twigs, terminal buds, and green nucs, frequently causing the wilting of leaves and the deacn of twigs. They also excavare umk-i the bark of the trunk and the larger branches, a longitudinal gallery an inch or more m length, about | inch in diameter, and easily rccugm/.ed by the small, transverse lines or galleries arising orv either side, increasing gradually in size, and ar a little distance diverging in a somewhat fan shaped manner. These galleries are made by the grubs, in the inner bark, and whenever abundant practically girdle the tree and cause its speedy death. AH such infested trees or portions of trees should be cut and burned prior to the ap pearance of the beetles the following summer. It is particularly important to detect the trees injured the previous seasun. since they are the ones containing grubs likely to mature and con tinue the destructive work another year. Gen eral cooperation along this line Is necessary if tin* best results are to be secured. Highly prized trees on lawns might well be sprayed about the middle of May with arsenate of lead, using 6 to 8 pound.co 50 gallons of water, and ta kmc special pains re cover the twigs and the base of tbs leaf stalks. The tioo-lined chestnut btittr, 2 native xpecii-s which in the past has been very injurious u chest nut and oak >n different sections of the country, is destroying oaks at the present time on Long Is land. It is possible that rhis outbreak is an indirect result of the widespread devastation bv chestnut blight, an affection which has destroyed nearly all the chestnut trees in the vicinity m New York City. Manyof the affected oiicswcrc undoubtedly injured also by borers. With thr elimination of the chestnuts. These borers haw- been compelled to turn to adjacent oaks.
