DESTRUCTION OF SLUGS. 



Scatter cabbage leaves about at night ; the slugs 

 will take shelter under them and may be destroyed next 

 day. Dressing the land with salt and lime is also de- 

 structive to these pests. 



WORMS IN PATHS, &c. 



Worms are often troublesome in lawns, garden 

 paths, &c. Mix some lime and water, not very strong, 

 and water the grass or gravel path with the mixture. 

 The worms will soon appear at the top, when they may 

 be destroyed.
