PoKE-RoOT FOR DESTROYING IysPc-s
d. f. c. Renner, of Frederick COUNTY
Md, writes to the Department Of AgricuL
ture that several years ago he collected
some poke-root lphytofacco dscaadral for
medicinal purposes, and placed it at van.
Gus places about the house to div. After
several days he observed that there ws-s
many cOckroaches lying dead, aud up7B
examination found that they Lad been psr.
taking freely of poke-root. Some Of tie
root was placed near their haunts. and The
result was that it lid the premises Of those
insects. Since then lie has communicated
the remedy to others, who have tested it
with satisfactory results.
How TO APP..Y LIfE.-Ye think lima
should never be plowed under. as it sinks
rapidly in the soil when placed on top. and
1t needs the action of the atmosplege 10
produce the best result Nj J. ! Gaa.
oi tins State. says he has plowed up line
from the bottom of the burrows ten to hf-
teen years after sowing it upon the surface
on grass. This showed a rapid sinking,
and that, if plo we'd under, it would 90 be-
low the reach of the plow. Mr.. @. regards
1t AS of great importance in bringing up a
poor soil, and says that many of the fields
formerly the poorest upon his farm, as
now the most productive, and made 50
from tcp-dressing with lime, at the rate u
fifty to five hundred bushels to the acre.
We should recommend to slake the line
with brine made Of refused salt before top
dressing.
