For some years snails or slugs have
given me considerable trouble. The
foliage of early peas and other plants
was found badly eaten in the morn

first l could not imagine what animals
had done this damage, When dis
covered that slugs were the culprits L
soon found means to get rid of them
Salt is the sovereign remedy for them,
but lime is just as effective, and so is
wood ashes and kainit and muriate of
potash ! would fill mp my knnpsack
sprayer with salt water or with lime
water, and then go to the patch where
knew these slugs to be at work, usu-
ally at or after dusk, and give the
plants good spraying. That treat
ment will kill every slug touched by
the spray. In the morning only grease
