  Work

  the 
  use 
  of 
  lime-sulphur 
  mixture. 
  In 
  spite 
  of 
  

   the 
  fact 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  very 
  effective 
  against 
  Lecaniitm, 
  its 
  adoption 
  in 
  

   Hungary 
  is 
  not 
  likely 
  to 
  be 
  very 
  rapid, 
  because 
  (1) 
  its 
  preparation 
  

   is 
  lengthy 
  ; 
  (2) 
  it 
  does 
  not 
  always 
  succeed, 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  varying 
  

   nature 
  of 
  the 
  different 
  quicklimes 
  of 
  the 
  country 
  ; 
  (3) 
  its 
  preparation 
  

   is 
  not 
  carried 
  out 
  on 
  a 
  large 
  scale 
  in 
  Hungary, 
  nor 
  at 
  a 
  low 
  price 
  ; 
  

   and

  practice 
  of

  carbolineum 
  (15 
  lb. 
  

   of 
  carbolineum 
  to 
  10

  is 
  constantly 
  gaining 
  ground.

  Insects 
  may 
  be 
  divided 
  into 
  two 
  classes, 
  according 
  to 
  the 
  manner 
  

   in 
  which 
  they 
  pass 
  the 
  winter. 
  Some 
  are 
  in 
  a 
  latent 
  state, 
  either 
  as 
  

   eggs, 
  larvae 
  or 
  pupae, 
  while 
  others 
  lead 
  an 
  active 
  existence 
  and 
  

   feed 
  as 
  they 
  do 
  in 
  summer. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  case 
  with 
  a 
  fly, 
  

   Agromyza 
  abiens, 
  found 
  in 
  artichoke 
  and 
  cardoon 
  gardens 
  in 
  the 
  South 
  

   of 
  France 
  and 
  which 
  the 
  author 
  has 
  been 
  studying 
  for 
  some 
  time. 
  

   Its 
  larvae 
  are 
  very 
  voracious 
  and 
  cause 
  much 
  damage, 
  but 
  about 
  the 
  

   middle 
  of 
  January 
  last, 
  when 
  the 
  temperature 
  fell 
  to 
  6°F., 
  they 
  practi- 
  

   cally 
  all 
  perished, 
  and 
  examination 
  led 
  to 
  the 
  conclusion 
  that 
  their 
  

   death 
  was 
  due 
  to 
  cold. 
  This 
  species 
  does 
  not 
  hibernate, 
  and 
  is 
  there- 
  

   fore 
  unable 
  to 
  resist 
  rigorous 
  temperatures. 
  

  

  The 
  author 
  remarks 
  that 
  " 
  woolly 
  bears 
  " 
  (the 
  larvae 
  of 
  Arctia 
  caja) 
  

   will 
  be 
  less 
  abundant 
  this 
  year 
  than 
  last, 
  because 
  nearly 
  all 
  were 
  

   destroyed 
  last 
  season 
  by 
  Emfusa 
  aulicae. 
  On 
  the 
  other 
  hand, 
  it 
  is 
  

   very 
  doubtful 
  whether 
  the 
  fungus 
  Beauveria 
  glohidifera, 
  which 
  requires 
  

   a 
  mild 
  and 
  damp 
  winter, 
  will 
  have 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  kill 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  vine 
  

   flea-beetles 
  (Haltica 
  ampelophaga). 
  A 
  severe 
  winter 
  will 
  therefore 
  

   have 
  been 
  harmful 
  in 
  this 
  sense.

  Few 
  Papilios 
  are 
  of 
  economic 
  importance, 
  but 
  the 
  caterpillars 
  of 
  

   these 
  show 
  a 
  preference 
  for 
  the 
  hard, 
  shiny 
  leaves 
  of 
  citrus 
  trees 
  

   throughout 
  the 
  world. 
  The 
  African 
  Papilio 
  demodocus, 
  Esp., 
  lays 
  

   single 
  eggs 
  on 
  the 
  underside 
  of 
  a 
  leaf. 
  Many 
  eggs 
  are 
  laid 
  on 
  

   unsuitable 
  plants, 
  or 
  even 
  on 
  dry 
  wood, 
  but 
  always 
  in 
  the 
  immediate 
  

   vicinity 
  of 
  orange 
  trees, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  strong 
  smell 
  emanating 
  from 
  the 
  

   latter 
  is 
  supposed 
  by 
  Vosseler 
  to 
  provoke 
  oviposition. 
  This 
  species 
  

   increases 
  rapidly 
  and 
  does 
  not 
  appear 
  to 
  suffer 
  from 
  enemies 
  and
