Result. — On 27tli, not over 2o per cent, of worms were destroyed. 
Living worms abundant, showing- no effects whatever. 
ExrEiUMENT 27.— SOLUBLE PINOLEUM. 
Solution the same as in experiment 2G. Placed larvae on a leaf, 
thoronglily spraying the same. 
Eesult.— The larvai, with the exception of two small ones, survived, 
and devoured the leaf. 
Experiment 28.— SOLUBLE PINOLEUM. 
Solution, 5 parts insecticide to 100 parts water. Sprayed on plants in 
garden, September 2. 
Result. — On 4th, a large number of larvse of various sizes were alivo 
and active, about 40 per cent. api)arently having been destroyed. 
Before further experiments could be made the larvae began to die 
from effects of disease, and it was impossible to carry on the experiment 
and get definite results. 
Experiment 29.— KEROSENE EMULSION. 
An emulsion consisting of equal x>'irts of kerosene, molasses, and 
water, was dilated with tliree times its volume of water. Syringed 
plants on September 7. Rain during night. Sprayed with same mix- 
ture again, September 10. 
Result. — September 8, 80 per cent, of all worms exposed were de- 
stroyed. The result of second application could not be definitely de- 
termined, as many were d.ying from disease. 
I do not think younger iilants would witiistand emulsion of this 
strength, but it would probably not be required for younger larvae. 
Experiment 30.— CARBOLATE OF LIME. 
Dusted plants thoroughly with carbolate of lime, using the Woodason 
bellows. 
Result. — Two days after, both large and small were still on the plants, 
with no dead to be found. 
Experiment 31.— HAMMOND'S SLUG SHOT.* 
Dusted insecticide thickly over the plants with powder bellows, Sep- 
tember 11. Kain fell on 13th. Dusted again on i4th. 
Result. — September V2, (juite a nuniber were found dead. 
NoctuidsandFieris. The solution in tlu'se pntpoi'tionswill kill these lurvai in IVoniouo 
to two minutes. Plant-lico it will kill insrantly. Tried several Hpecinions of the 
larviB of Sphinx quinqneiiincitlata, and lonnd to my surprise that not, even the solution ia 
full 8tren;;th would kill them. I think the j)in(>lenni will be useful as an insectieido, 
but not if mixed with so mneh water as the proprietors tlirect." — C. V. R.
