A correspondent of Gardening Illustrated says: "Wash the cabbages well with strong soot and water, and on the first dry day dust the ground about the cabbages with quicklime, and pick as many of the caterpillars off as you can find; and during the winter gas-lime the land and leave it in ridges to catch the frost, and very few insects will trouble you again. The odors emitted from gas-lime are so pungent that neither moth, butterfly, nor mole will remain on land that is dressed with it."
