Cabbage "Worm, the Best Remedy, as Shown by the New York Experiment Station.
Common yellow hard soap, 1 oz.; kerosene, 1 pt.; water, 11/2 gals.; well mixed and stirred and applied by means of a watering-pot, proved the best of anything tried at the above station in 1883. They state that " it kills all the worms it thoroughly wets, and does not injure the plant. " They say "it must be kept thoroughly stirred while applying. Several applications may be needed. "
Remarks. —But if they will bring the soap and water to the boiling point, then stir in the kerosene, it will make a permanent mixture, like Prof. Cook's in reference to nearly the same for lice or scale bugs on trees.
3. Cabbage Plants, Best Manner of Setting Out. —In setting out cabbage plants it has been found best to pull off the largest leaves, leaving only the center, as they are then more certain to live and to do better, from the fact
that the large leaves often wither and die for want of a ready support from -one transplanting.
