 them besides hand pickiny .' We liavo a 

 hard dos<> of these cutworms, finding; 

 them by the hundreds .and almost by 

 the thousands, both in the <ire(>nliouses 

 and otitdoors. They ;ire doiii>j .yreat 

 damajie to the tomatoes and idirvsan- 

 themuins, and hand ]iickint; is an end-

^\'hile haml-pickinu -wliicli lias to be 

 done at iiiyht to be of any A'.'ilue, as 

 these pests are niyht mar;iuders — is a 

 jiartial remedy, it is a slow and tedious 

 one. The best way to destroy larjie 

 numbers is to make a poisoned mash 

 and scatter it each cxcninLr about theii' 

 h.aunts. T(i a biislnd of fresh shorts, 

 add sullicient Paris oi-ci'ii to coloi' it.
