PYRETHRUM AS AN INsECTICIDE continued. !.
Prof Riley remarks as follows upon Nodes Of
Application: Pyrethrum can be applied, 1, In dry
powder: 2, As fume; 5, AS an alcoholic extract !;
4, By simple solution of the powder in water; 5,
AS tea or decoction.
The following recommendations are based on
repeated experiments in the field:
/. Application Of Pyrethrmm as dry po,cder
This method is familiar to most housekeepers
the powder being used by means Of a small pair
of bellows. 1t is then generally used without
diluent, but if it is unadulerated and fresh, it
may be considerably diluted with other pulver-
ized material without losing its deadly effect,
the use of the powder thus becoming much
cheaper OF the materials which can be used as
diIuents, common flour seems to be the best, but
finely sifted wood-ashes, saw-dust from hard
wood &c-in short any light and finely pulver-
lied material which mixes well with the pyreth-
rum powder, will answer the purpose If the
mixture is applied Immediately after preparation
it is always less efficacious than when left in a
perfectly tight vessel for about "a hours, or long
er, before use. This has been proven SO far only
with the mixture of pyrethrum with -four, but
holds doubtless true also for other diluents. In
experiments made On the cotton worm it was
found that one part of the powder to eleven parts
of -four is sufficient to kill the worms (only
portion of the full-grown worms recovering from
the effects of the powder if the mixture is ap-
piled Immediately after preparation; but if kept
in a tight glass jar for about two days, one part
of the powder TO y parts Of -four is sufficient to
kill all average-siZed worms with which the mix
ture comes in contact. For very young cotton
worms a mixture of one part of pyrethrum to 80
parts of -four and applied one day after prepara-
tion proved most effective hardly any of the
worms recovering.
An ordinary powder bellows will answer for
insects infesting dwellings or for plants kept in
pots in rooms or single plants in the garden, but
it hardly answers on large scale out doors, be-
cause it works too slowly, the amount of powder
discharged cannot be regulated, and there is diff
Guilty in covering all parts of large plant: An
other method of applying the dry powder is to
sieve it on to the plants by means OF sieves, and
this method is no doubt excellent for insects that
live on the upper side of the leaves. For large
more shrub-like plants with many branches, and
lor insects that hide on the underslde OF the
leaves this method will be found less servlceable
a very satisfactory way Of applying the powder
Oh large plants, In the absence of any suitable
machlhe or contrivance, is to throw it with the
hdhu dter the manner of seed-sOwing. This
heUnou Is more economical and rapid than those
mehIioheu ABOVE, and it has, moreover the adj
vantage, that, II the plants are high enough the
powder can be applied to the underside of the
leaves.
The modes Of applying pyrethrum will be fur
