ANT, {Formica.) To drive this in- 

 sect away, sprinkle flowers of sulphur 

 over its nests and haunts. To kill it, 

 pour over the nest at night a strong de- 

 coction of elder leaves. To trap it, 

 smear the inside of a garden pot with 

 honey, invert it over the nest, and when 

 crowded with them, hold it over the 



lier trees, by tying a piece of wool round 

 the stems and the supporters.

ANTHOMYIA, a genus of fly, very 

 injurious to the gardener. 



A. brassicce, cabbage fly, says Mr. 

 Curtis, " is found on the wing through 

 the summer, and is the parent of a mag- 

 got which has been known to lay waste 

 whole fieldsof cabbages by diseasing the 

 roots, in which they feed, as well as at 

 the base of tlie stalk. Successive gene- 

 rations are feeding until Noveml)er; the 

 latter families lying in the pupa state 

 through the winter, and most probably 

 some of the flies survive that season, 

 secreted in holes and crevices. 



"When the Cabbage-leaves assume a 

 lead or yellow colour, and droop in mid- 

 day from the effect of the sun, such 

 plants being diseased should be taken 

 up, carried away, and burnt, and brine 

 or lime put into the holes. Gardeners, 

 in some instances, have collected large 

 quantities of the pupa; from the roots, 

 by drawing away the earth; and as these 

 insects are exceedingly rapid in their 

 transtbrmations, it is very likely that it 

 may have a very material effect in check- 

 ing their increase, and giving the suc- 

 ceeding crop a better chance of escap- 

 ing the fate of the preceding one. 

 " The male of A. brassiccE is dark 



steam of boiling water. They may be . 



kept from ascending standard and espa- 1 bright grey, with black bristles ; there is
