The wasp-like moth of the peach borer, Egcria exitiosa, will be busy during the present month, depositing her eggs on the bark of the trunks of the Peach trees ; then as soon as the eggs hatch, the young grubs Avill begin to eat their way to the inner bark, where it is difficult to reach them. Much good may yet be done, either in preventing the motlis from laying their eggs, or, if laid, in destroying the young larvae, by brushing the trunks and main \. f- branches of the trees with soft soap, reduced with lye to about the consistence of paint. Fig. 8 respresents_.^both sexes of the 2. ^ moth ; I is the female, 2 the J'iy- t=- male. It will be observed that they are very unlike each other, so much 'so that they may readily be.
