Destroying Insects.


The following advice as 20 the best
methods of destroying injurious insects
was given by Mr.. +. G.. SANBoRN in a
lecture before the Massachusetts, State
Board of Agriculture;
If caterpillars are attacking trees,
remove and burn the eggs, on thor
oughly soap the trees to prevent their
being laid, kill them if already laid,
or hang bottles Of sweetened water
about the trees to entrap and destroy
the perfect moth.
If borers arc in the trunk or branch
es, soap the bark. Soft soap made
coid is, perhaps, the best preparation,
and if mingled with strong decoc-
ton of tobacco it will not be less effec-
tive. Dig out the borers with knife
or gouge, or pour boiling water, or
petroleum, into their holes, making
sure that it reaches the insect.
If insects are on the leaves or fruit,
syringe the trees with any of the prep
arations previously recommended,
soap-suds, tobacco-water, etc. Jar
them frequently, giving the pigs and
poultry chance to pick up and deyour
those which fall
Hang pieces of cloth or paper dip
ped in kerosene, in the branches,
renewing them every few days.
For insects upon roots and bulbs,
sprinkle petroleum along tho rows, or
water them with strong soap-suds !;
for onions, mingle common SCOT, or
pyroligneous acids with the solution.
For squash and cucumber vines,
etc, scatter paper-rags, saw-dust, or
other absorbent materials, soaked in
kerosene, about tho hills, sprinkle the
leaves with road-dust, air Stacked lime,
ashes, or powdered herbs known to be
offensive to the insects. The Persian
insect-powder, which has proved quite
useful of late years, is composed of
the pulverized leaves and blossoms of
fever few, the Pythethrsm ed,Team,
closely allied to the common camomile.
1t would DO really worthy of expert
ment to collect, dry and powder the
flowers Of our common ox-eye daisy,
or white weed, so common through
the country, and ascertain the effect
upon insects and slugs which attack
our broad-leaved plants, as well as
upon the moths which infest furs and
wooden cloths.
Chloride of lime, freely scattered
.upon the ground among growing veg
etables, gives off gas which is ex-
tremely noxious to most insects, with
out injuring the plants. Coal tar is
also quite serviceable in some cases.
For field crops, the most feasible
plan is, by rotation, to starye out the
destructive millions that prey upon
one variety, devoting the land to some
other crop for two seasons before re-
turning to the original one. Small
fields of wheat rye or oats may some
times be saved from immediate injury

A CLEAN SE1L.-A shrewd country
man was in town the other day, gawky,
uncouth, and innocent enough in re-
atty with his eye teeth cut. Passing
up Chatham street, through the Jews
quarter, he often was encountered with
opportunities to buy. From almost
every store some one rushed out IN
accordance with the annoying custom
of that street, to seize upon and try
to force him to purchase. At last,
one of them caught him by the arm
and urged him to become one Of his
customers.
"Have you any fine shirts 2" in
quired the countryman, with a very
innocent look.
"A splendid assortment, sir. Step
in, sir. Every price, sir, and every
style. The very cheapest, sir"
Are they clean ~ q r
"To be sure, sir. Step in, sir"
"Then," resumed the countryman,
with perfect gravity, "put one on, fol-
you need it."
The rage Of the shopkoeper may be
imagined as the countryman, turning
upon his heel, quietly pursued his
way.
