TO KEEP ANIMALS OUT.
The problem of keeping horses, cats and dogs out of flower beds and shrubberies is a recurring oue with many country and suburban gardeners. The difiiculty, it is believed, has been been solved by spraying with a diluted nicotine sulphur spray. Even when the application is thin, it is so repulsive to animals that it keeps them away from the area sprayed. Nicotine sulphate is procurable in commercial preparation and is usually a 40 per cent. solution. It should be used at the rate of one and a half teaspoonfuls to a gallon of water. The spray evaporates and should be rene\^ed after rain and once every two weeks in fine weather.
