these as shelter places. Small heaps of wet leaves or grass will 

 serve the same purpose. The pests will also collect under 

 pieces of board, which may be wetted on the under-surface. 

 All these traps should be regularly examined every morning. 

 The wood-lice may be destroyed by dropping them into a 

 vessel containing a little paraffin. 



Eradication of Bracken. — If the surface of the ground admits 

 of it, the best method of dealing with bracken on a large scale 

 is to run chain harrows over the ground at the time the fronds 

 are making their appearance. If this is done thoroughly and 

 persisted in the plants are greatly weakened. 



The Marsh Horse-tail. — This weed {Equisetuin palustre^ is 

 regarded as being poisonous to cattle. Marsh plants, such as 

 rushes and horse-tails, are indicative of soil that is wet and 

 sour. Complete drainage is the best remedy. If this is im- 

 practicable, something maybe done by removing the horse-tails 

 as far as possible, and keeping the water-courses cleared out to 

 allow of the free draining off of water.
