  Another 
  note 
  gives 
  a 
  cheap 
  remedy 
  against 
  insect 
  pests, 
  suggested 
  

   by 
  A. 
  Stuptchenko 
  in 
  the 
  Journal 
  " 
  Sadovod 
  i 
  Ogorodnik 
  " 
  

   (Horticulturist 
  and 
  Market-Gardener), 
  who 
  recommends 
  collecting 
  

   wormwood 
  when 
  it 
  is 
  still 
  young 
  and 
  after 
  drying 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  sun, 
  cutting 
  

   it 
  into 
  small 
  pieces 
  and 
  boihng 
  for 
  some 
  time 
  in 
  water. 
  For 
  the 
  further 
  

   use 
  of 
  this 
  decoction 
  two 
  recipes 
  are 
  given 
  : 
  (1) 
  27 
  gallons 
  of 
  the 
  

   decoction, 
  with 
  10 
  lb. 
  of 
  green 
  soap 
  or 
  10 
  lb. 
  of 
  rye 
  paste 
  added, 
  are 
  

   mixed 
  with 
  a 
  further 
  27 
  gallons 
  of 
  water 
  and 
  this 
  mixture 
  provides 
  an 
  

   excellent 
  remedy 
  against 
  aphids. 
  (2) 
  27 
  gallons 
  of 
  the 
  decoction 
  are 
  

   dissolved 
  in 
  twice 
  that 
  amount 
  of 
  water, 
  to 
  which 
  27 
  gallons 
  of 
  poultry 
  

   dung 
  dissolved 
  in 
  water 
  is 
  added, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  about 
  10 
  lb. 
  of 
  paste 
  or 
  

   molasses, 
  to 
  give 
  it 
  the 
  necessary 
  adhesiveness. 
  This 
  recipe 
  is 
  very 
  

   efiective 
  against 
  caterpillars 
  and 
  aphids, 
  which 
  are 
  said 
  to 
  perish 
  in 
  

   a 
  few 
  minutes 
  after 
  spraying.

  Against 
  the 
  Coleopterous, 
  Lepidopterous 
  and 
  Hymenopterous 
  larvae 
  

   which 
  attack 
  rose 
  bushes, 
  spraying 
  with 
  quassia, 
  Paris 
  green 
  and 
  other 
  

   insecticides 
  is 
  recommended. 
  With 
  regard 
  to 
  pests, 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  

   which 
  live 
  inside 
  the 
  stem, 
  such 
  as 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  sawflies, 
  Monophadnus 
  

   elongatulus 
  and 
  Tenthredo 
  linda, 
  L. 
  (bipunctata), 
  spraying 
  is 
  useless. 
  

   These 
  pests, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  Argyrotoxa 
  (Tortrix) 
  bergmanniana 
  and 
  allied 
  

   species, 
  can 
  be 
  successfully 
  controlled 
  by 
  cutting 
  away 
  and 
  destroying 
  

   the 
  shoots.
