THE GRUB.
TO THE K MITCH. Sik, Agriculturists troubled with grub will find the following a complete remedy. After trying various experiments [ have found that a mixture of soot and salt is death to tin grub. As for lime they laugh at it, but the smell of soot and salt is enough. It seams to give them in liuenza. Just try a pinch with a cannister of soil, and not a grub will be found alive next morning, that is, if you prevent their getting out.—Yours, &c., Francis Franks. [This is nothing mare or less than an advertisement for the Eclipse Manure, but at the same time it would be interesting to try the thing. If direct, we shall all go in for smokey chimneys, and start soot-culture.—Bn.]
