fennel (every farmer knows what dog-fen-
mel is), pound it well down with wooden
maui until your barrel is about one-third
full; make strong soft-soap suds, using
about half gallon of soap to each barrel;
have your water hot, and pour your suds
into the barrel While hot. Let it stand ten
or twelve hours When cold take COM
mon sprinkler such as are used in stores or
gardens, sprinkle well every hill of corn
that is infested with the bug; where the
bug has got between the stalk and the
blade it will be necessary to be particular
so as to get the liquor in contact with
the bug; two dressings will generally
vanish the enemy. If you have no coal
oil barrel use about half gallon of coal
oil for each barrel You can fill your
barrel twice without putting in any fresh
fennel, stirring up the fennel when you
put in fresh suds. If you want to save
your corn lose no time in trying the
above remedy. The same will effectually
destroy the potato-bug.
