dew; or clear water, often applied, will have the desired efl'ect. The Earwig, (Forfiruia 
Auricularia) are not very numerous around us, but when they attack the fruit, place 
lengths of bean stalks in the trees, in which they will shelter, and if they are blown out 
every mornintr, and killed, you will speedily reduce their numbers. Should the JVood- 
louse, (Onisciis Assellus) be prevalent on the walls,- to ei-adicate them, see extract from 
Gardener's Magazine, inserted in our Register for July, page 16.

Agrestis) which may be destroyed by quick-lime being thrown upon them when disrovered , 
or laying it round the roots of the plants they infect, will in a great measure prevent their 
depredations,
