 and cauliflower plants, and also for cu- 

 cumbers and melons.

 cucumber growers in this vicinity with 

 satisfactory results. The past season we 

 had opportunity to have a thorough test 

 made of our Tobacco Dust on chicken 

 lice, not only through our own experience, 

 that we have found it to be the best 

 insecticide for henneries, under setting 

 hens, etc.; we have had it tested by a 

 number of poultry men, who pronounce 

 it to be the best agent against poultry
