Bordeaux and Lead.

Most of the garden plants may be
guarded against disease and at the
same time protected from attack by
eating insects by spraying at intervals
of two weeks with d combination of
Bordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead.
Other methods of protecting plants from
the larger eating insects are to pick the
pests by hand or knock them with a
stick into a pan containing water on
which a thin film of kerosene is floating.
Insects collected by hand should be de-
stroyed promptly. Young plants may be
protected by setting over them wooden
frames covered with mosquito netting
wire mesh or cheeSecoth. Cutworms
may be kept from plants by setting tin Or
PAPER collars into the ground around the
stalks.
Sucking insects, such as plant lice, can
not be killed by poisoning the surface of
the leaves and fruit, since they feed by
puncturng the plants and extracting the
internal juices. Poisons which will kill
by contact or substances which envelop
and smother the pests are. therefore, en-
pIoyed against the sucking insects The
principal remedies of this sort are nico-
tine solutions, fish oil and other soap
solutions and kerosene emulsion.
