Simple .Hethod Of Destroying Me Hessian Flu

valuable anu obiging correspondents TO publish the
fonowIng directions for destroying it.
The Hessan fly deposits on the wheat car be-

10 the naked eye but may be very distinctly Will,
a microscopes sometimes one grain of wheat will be
observed TO have several OF these eggs OIL it. They
are attached to the wheat by glulnous subst ance
deposited around them, by the parent Nv by which

destructive effects visible by the wheat becorn-
ing withered and blighted This accounts for the fact
That wheat, which is attacked by this destructive in
sect, presents healthy appearance until the onth
OF June, the period IT which tins embryo fly begins
to- use food.
Now it is evident that ifthe eggs of this y can be
destroyed on the seed wheat, by any process that will
not also destroy the vegcave quality of the grain
The ruinous effects will be avoided This can be done
by The following very simple process
soak the seed wheat in water for twelve hours:
spread 1t out on the barn floor, allow the SUI
peraOundant water 10 escape then take fresh Stacked
lime, and mix 1t among the wheat in quantity sufficient
10 nave every grain covered with The lime taking
care to stir the wheat well with shovel So that no
particle may escape coming in full contact with the
Iilne, which, when thus applied, will in a short
time destroy the eggs and consequently preserve the
grain from destruction"
Our correspondent assures us that the egg, which
before the application of the lime appears clear and
transparent, afterwards becomes opaque and puts on
the appearance of an added egg. The efficacy of the
above remedy has been established by severn! expe-
rments' one OF which will here relate Wheat sun
posed TO be infected with the Hcssan hy was taken
one halt OF the quantity treated with lime and
the other half was in the soil with the pre-
pared seed IN alternate drills the result was that eve
ry stalk from the prepared seed, maturity and
was productive, whilst the alternate drills which had
been sown with unprepnred seed almost totally
destroyed.
The above remedy, for so serious evil, cannot
be too widely circulated-we would recommend its
translation into the French papers, and we think the
Cures Of the country parishes would confer benefit
OH their pnrshonersi by having it made known at
their respective Church doors, after divine service.
