' After the land is ploughed for" turnips, and 

 ' when the feed is harrowing in, let feme large 

 ' branches of common elder, with the berries on, 

 < be fixed in the harrow, fo as to rub on the ground. 



* The fridion of the leaves and berries will leave fo 



* ftrong (and to thefe infeds, fg difagreeable) a uinc 



* or odour on the foil, as will probably prevent 

 ^ their alighting on fo unpleafing a fpot, or make 



* them fpeedily leave it, if they can be fuppofed to 



* have been there before the feed was fown. The 



* cffeds of the effluvia of elder are much greater, 



* and more lading, with refpeft to thofe infe6ls, 

 ^ than would at firfl be imagined, or even credited 

 f by the bulk of mankind.'
