NSECTICIDES. [In gardening these may be 
eribed as preparations which destroy animal pests 
erally, and not insects only, as the name would at 
t sight seem to suggest. They vary greatly with the 
ts under consideration, and the universal Insecticide 
yet to be discovered. With some plant-feeding 
mals the employment of Insecticides is practically 
less, owing to the peculiar habits of the pests—shoot- 
trunk-infesting kinds, which feed protected, like Wood 
ypard and Goat Moths, Currant-Shoot Moths, Leaf 
isters (Tortrices), Case-Makers, &c. 
‘efore any Insecticide can be used effectively, the 
dener must determine how the pest feeds, as on that 
*h depends. A poisonous Insecticide that would be fatal 
u chewing insect, like the caterpillars of Moths, &c., 
id be harmless in the case of a sucking insect or 
xr animal, which, before taking any nutriment from 
leaves, first bores throngh the poison area, Then,
