TO GET KID OF VERMIN.
A French newspaper states that if a little cMoride of iime be placed on the soil rats, mice, and insects will at once desert the part. Plants may be easily protected from insect plagues by simply brushing over their stems with a weak solution of chloride of lime. It has often been noticed that the patch which has been treated in this way remains free from grubs, while the unprotected bods around are literally devastated. Fruit trees may be guarded from their attacks by attaching to the stems pieces of tow smeared with a mixture of chloride of lime, and hogs, land ants, and grubs then in possession will rapidly vacate their position.
