tion of a handful of lampblack will help 

 to darken the mixture and relieve the 

 whitewashed look which the vines would 

 otherwise have. Besides, if any insects 

 are left they can more readily be seen 

 on the dark surface than they would be 

 if the surface were left white. This 

 mixture can be painted over the buds 

 without injury, and we find it advan- 

 tageous to give the vines two coats, as, 

 no matter how carefully the application 

 may be made, there are usually some lit- 

 tle spots left after the first application. 

 These can be readily seen after the 

 material has dried on the vines, and run- 

 ning over the second time makes sure 

 that every part is covered. It is hardly 

 possible to eradicate the pest in one sea- 

 son, but we have seen badly infested 

 houses entirely free after this mixture 

 had been used for two seasons in suc- 

 cession, when the work was thoroughly 

 done and the woodwork of the house 

 either washed or painted, so that none 

 would be left lurking around in the 

 crevices. To make sure, it is also neces- 

 sary to remove about two inches of the 

 surface soil from the floor of the house 

 and replace with fresh material. 



I will write an article on grape forc- 

 ing in the near future. Wm. Scott. 



FORCING CHICORY. 



Chicory is of very easy culture. Seed 

 sovni in spring will produce strong roots 

 for forcing the succeeding winter. In 

 forcing it we use a dark, warm cellar. 

 Anyone desiring to force it, who has not 

 a cellar from which light can be ex- 

 cluded, should pack the roots in boxes 

 of sand and earth and invert a box over 

 the one containing the roots. In a warm, 

 dark cellar, the roots can be planted in 

 earth on the floor or on a raised bench. 

 After cutting the first crop the roots are 

 usually thrown away and more housed. 

 A second crop of smaller shoots will be 

 produced if the roots are left in. There 

 is a very fair call for chicory in winter, 

 and all the high class fruit and vege- 

 table firms carry it. W.
