who saw Francis. for he was in a
smoking apartment, the window of

THE CUCUMBER LOUISE.
Pest That Nips the Blossoms and How
to Fight 1t.

Almost every one who has had any
experience in growing cucumbers is

blossoms falling from the vines.
Whenever we see the blossoms fading,

/ have found from long years of OK
perience that the insects are more
numerous during dry weather than at
any other time. The cucumber louise
is aided in his work of destruction by
small species of ant that seems to
harbor in clusters in the small crew

OF solution and composition has been
tried for the purpose of exterminating
this destructive insect. which has
wrought so much harm to all vine
plants. Lime has been used by

Spraying has been practiced to great
extent, but many report an utter fall

There is nothing which l have tried
which has proved so successful in de-
stroying insects as wood ashes, says
the correspondent of Country Gentle
man. One application of wood ashes
slightly moistened with kerosene has
done more for me in the way of ex-
terminating bugs and insects than all
other compounds combined. l save all
the ashes through the winter, storing
them in some dry place. This is very
essential, for should they once become
water soaked. they will lose much of
their value as an exterminator. When

plants. l dampen them slightly with
kerosene. just sufficient to moisten. 1
then shake small handful around the
stem of each plant and a sprinkle on
the leaves. One must exercise care
not to use large quantity of kero-
sene, for when applied itwould be in
