MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



On destkoying Woodi.ick. — How am I to destroy, most effectually and 

 readily, woodlice, with which I am pestered in my greenhouse aud frames to an 

 enormous degree ? 



Alpha. 



[Cold boiled potatoes put into small garden- pots, aud covered with a little 

 loose moss, and placed where most likely to be found by the insects, is the best 

 method we have tried. The insects are fond of the potato, and remain concealed 

 under the moss. The pots require examining early in the morning, aud the 

 insects destroyed ; when requisite, replace with fresh potatoes. We have used 

 ingredients, poisonous, which, mixed up with other things, effectually kill the 

 insects partaking of it ; but as danger attends such a mode of destruction, we 

 do not recommend its adoption. — Conductor.]
