DECIDUOUS HEDGES. 



37 



hedges infested with lice, should always be kept on 

 hand. It is made by dissolving one pound of hard 

 soap in one gallon of hot water; to this add three 

 gallons of kerosene. Churn together with a force 

 pump for ten minutes, or until the materials are 

 thoroughly assimilated into a mass, semi-fluid, and 

 much like the best soft soap. Store this for usage, 

 and it will keep for several weeks or months. When 

 needed, use about one pint to a pail of water. If 

 this solution does not prove strong enough to kill the 

 lice, double the quantity of the emulsion. Let the 

 spray be applied as soon as the lice appear, and so 

 thoroughly, that the undersides of the leaves will be 

 well wetted. Use the McGowan nozzle, adjusted to 

 any good spraying pump.
