TurniD FJV.— A. E M Winchester : In dry seasons the Turnip Fly (Aphis 

 rafir) ofteri i proves most destructive to turnips, and even in ordinary seasons it will 

 ,&r) often pr fa an app^a^ if a week or two of dry, bright weather 



prevails. It varies in appearance, the wingless female 



being green or yellow in the summer, and dull red in the 



autumn ; while the winged female is brownish black. A 



wash prepared by adding twenty-eight pound of soft soap 



and a pint of tobacco juice to a hundred gallons of 



water is a good remedy ; but the most efficient is water 



to which paraffin has been added at the rate of two wine 



glassfuls to three gallons of water. To ensure the mixing 



of the paraffin oil with the water, add one part of soft 



soap to eight parts of water, and when brought to the 



v boiling point add the paraffin, which will then 



/t , \ thoroughly amalgamate with the water and soft soap.

fine rose has been affixed or by means of a syringe.

 for when used together, they are remarkable in their effects upon disease. No matter how 

 stubborn the symptoms may be, they cannot lon£ withstand these remedies. All sufferers, whom 

 other treatment has failed to relieve, should try the celebrated Ointment, which will strengthen and 

 cure them. The Pills recommend themselves to the attention of all sufferers. # No injurious con- 

 sequences can result from their use ; no mistake can be made in the r administration. In indigestion , 

 confirmed dyspepsia, and chronic constipation, the most beneficial effects have been, and always 

 must be, obtained from the wholesome power exerted by these purifying Pills over the 

 digestion.— [Advt.]
