As an experiment at the New Jersey station, a quantity of air-slaked lime was mixed with the soil of two rows of a small plot of early cabbage at the time of setting the plants. As the season for the attack arrived it appeared that the plants of the plot were all suffering, and an examination made June 18 showed that 12 plants treated with the lime had 66 maggots, while 11 plants not treated had but 24 maggots, proving conclusively the entire ineffectiveness and uselessness of the application.

The Common Hoarhound in California assumes the form of a strong, perennial, nearly an evergreen shrub. Bee farmers consider it a nuisance, for where it is very common it at times flavors the honey with its peculiar bitterness, rendering it unsalable. But this » same bitter honey has been found to be a most excellent cough syrup, besides being very wholesome, and there is likely to spring up a great demand for it, while the flavor is preferred by some to all other honeys. When we know what the bitter is, we are not afraid of it, and soon learn to like it. - D. B. Wier.
