Many amateur gardeners will be surprised to learn that the large striped slug sometimes known as the tiger slug, on which they rage rtothles.s war, and which appears such a voracious enemy of growing plants, is in reality a very good friend to the gardener. Mr R. W, Ro'che stated in a lecture at New Plymouth that this slug was a cannibal and ate large numbers of small slugs. He had never seen one of the slugs touch a vegetable, but he had often seen them eating young slugs and s,nails. He had often seen a tiger slug with its head buried in a snail which had previously been killed' with lime. When putting lime on slugs in the garden at night he always took care to put the tiger slugs to one side well out of reach of the lime. Mr Roche also added that the common practice df putting a ring of lime round a plant to protect it from slugs was. quite useless. Even if the lime we,re uhslaked it became slaked immediately on coming in contact with the damp earth, and slugs would be crawling over it by next morning. The only way to kill slugs with lime was to put unslaked lime directly on them. Satisfaction assured' fl* you purchase a Wallace Milking Machine. Every thing of the best. Get particulars.*
