FUMIGATING is employed for the de- 

 struction of certain insects ; the inhaled 

 vapour or smoke arising from some sub- 

 stances being fatal to them. Tobacco is 

 the usual substance employed ; and it 

 may be ignited, and the smoke impelled 

 upon the insect by bellows; or the ignited 

 tobacco may be placed under a box, or 

 within a frame, together with the affected 

 plant. The vapour of spirit of turpentine 

 is destructive to the scale and other in- 

 sects, employed in this mode. Mr. Mills 

 has stated the following as the best mode 

 of fumigating with tobacco. According 

 to the size of the place to be fumigated, 

 one or more pieces of cast iron, one inch 

 thick, and three inches over, are made 

 red hot (pieces of old tiles, such as are 

 used for covering smoke flues, would pro- 

 bably answer equally well) ; one of these 

 is placed in a twenty-four sized pot, on 

 which is put the quantity of tobacco con- 

 sidered necessary to charge the structure 

 with Asmoke sufficient to destroy insect 

 life. To fumigate an ordinary sized eight- 

 light house, use three heaters, and three 

 twenty-four sized pot*, which are best I 

 placed on the front flue or walk; on* 



pound of strong tobacco is put on the 

 three heaters in equal parts, and this is 

 found sufficient to fill the house, so as to 

 destroy all the kinds of insects that perish 

 by fumigation. The system bas these 

 advantages: the tobacco is so quickly 

 consumed, that the house is completely 

 filled in a very short time, and but little 

 smoke can escape before the insects are 

 destroyed ; the pure heat from the iron 

 heaters prevents injury from gas, and as 

 no blowing is required there is no dust, 

 it being only necessary to put the tobacco 

 on the heaters and leave the house. A 

 better mode is to soak the tobacco in a 

 strong solution of saltpetre, and when, 

 dry to ignite it. The combustion is so 

 complete and instantaneous that a smaller 

 quantity is sufficient. The best of all 

 instruments for fumigating with tobacco 

 is Browns Fumlgator. 



To fumigate with sulphur , paint the 

 hot-water pipes with some sulphur mixed 

 with whitewash; or put this mixtuie 

 against the side of the flue furthest from 

 the furnace ; or put some sulphur on a 

 hot-water plate, and keep the water iu 

 this boiling by means of a lamp.
