CUMBEREAND AND WESTMORELAND, 
A late Number of the Carlisle Journal, has 
the following observations on the means of 
destroying, the slugs which infest young tur- 
nips: as the season In which the slug which 
is so destructive:to young turnips is approach 
ing, we shall give an aecount of some of the 
Cumberland and Westmoreland. 
[ May I; 
means recommended and practised by expe= 
rienced farmers. This slug is of the white 
snail species, and attacks the turnip after it 
has escaped the fly, which latter insect feeds 
on the slender leaf as: soon as it makes its 
appearance. ‘The slugs quitthe earth in the 
night time in immense numbers, and com= 
monly devour the wholeturnip, both leaves 
and root, The dispersing different substances,. 
sucn as vegetable ashes, lime, and soot, in 
the state of fine powder, over the. turnip 
crops by the hand, has been tried and recom= 
mended by some.. The sprinkling tobacco 
juice over the leaves has been recommended 
by others; and the sowing barley chaff over 
the whole field has been also strongly re- 
commended. Rolling over the ground with- 
a heavy roller in the night, when the slugs 
have left the earth and are feeding upon the 
plant, answers a remarkably good purpose. 
An experienced agricultural gentleman in 
this neighbourhood adopted a method which 
we beligve was entirely new: he procured a 
number of young ducks, which he humo- 
rously called his young rangers, these were 
put into the turnip field; and ranged regu- 
Jarly up one ridge and down the next; till 
having traversed the whole field they did- 
net Jeave one slug in it; and by the time 
their labours were completed they were 
grown exceeding fat and fit for the-cook. 
A school is now open at Carlisle, on the 
plan of Mr. Lancaster. The distressed state 
of the trade xt that place makes this measure 
the more acceptable for the children that are 
no® idle and out of employ. The young 
master is sent down by Mr. Laneaster. Mr. 
Eell’s plan was tried in Carlisle, and totally 
failed of success. ; 
A weekly newspaper will shortly be pub- 
lished at Kendal, called ‘* the Westmoreland 
Advertise and Kendal Correspondent,)* be- 
ing the first published in this county. 
Kendal hes undergone considerable im- 
provements within the few last years by the 
widening of the streets and taking down old 
buildings; the manufactories also have 
greatly increased so as to render a weekly 
paper a desideratum.
