ANGOUMOIS MOTH. ils: 
(for recipe, see Index) can be mixed, this would probably do more 
good as a washing or syringing than any other application. There is, 
however, so much difficulty, both here and in America, where it is so 
greatly used, in permanently blending the soft-soap wash and kerosine, 
that (as unless this is done properly, much damage is caused to leaf- 
age) I have found a very similar mixture sold by Messrs. Morris, 
Little & Son, of Doncaster, to be a good substitute. This is very 
similar to the American emulsion in ingredients, but is sold ready 
mixed in semi-fluid state, so that it only needs diluting, and I can 
speak from personal experience as to it answering well where I have 
known it to be used for getting rid of Aphis on Cabbages. 
Some amount of difference in the spread of attack may be made 
by burning infested plants, and also by destroying wild plants on 
which the ‘‘Plant-lice’’ are feeding, as, for instance, ‘‘Charlock” 
(Sinapis arvensis) and ‘‘ Shepherd’s Purse” (Capsella bursa-pastoris) ; 
but these arrangements are hardly practicable except in garden culti- 
vation or on small plots.
