OH VS.. Insects.

Many years ago We were interested In some
experiments made By some medical students
on pile destruction OF insect life by oil. The
slIs htest drob of sweet oil, put on the back OF
Saornet, beetle, bee or similar thing, caused
It's instant destruction. We were told the
breathing pores were closed by the oil.-and
life was literally smothered out. 10 after life
greacy water was always a tavorit mode with
Us OF destroying insects,-and we have re-
peatedly urged 1t upon the readers OF this
Journal. Yet we are astonished to fud how
little the hint has been acted upon. Almost
every cay we meet people who ask how to
destroy this insect or that,-and our drawer
Is filed with similar inquiries and to all, the
idea of greace or oil seems as new a one as if
We had kept the matter most profound Sc

OF millions Of people in the United States,
how few are there who would not 'give any
thing," as they say, to know how to keep
away the cabbage lily from their seed beds, -
yet a0out a tablespoonful of coal oil put in a
common garden waterproof of water, sprinkled
over the seed bed, when the little jumping
beetle is noticed as having appeared, will in,
stantly destroy the whole breed.
A correspondent of this Journal recently
gave US an article on the virtues of coal oil
IN killing scale insects. We have repeated
the experiment on some Daphnes with entire
success.
In short we have no doubt that coal oil
we'll diluted with water, is death to all kindi
of insects, and there is no reason why 1t shoult
not be- in as general use as tobacco is for kill
ing aphidss-more valuable in fact because il
can be applied in SO many cases where smok
cannot.
One great point in favor of coal oil is tina
