Bugs, on Squash, Cucumber and Melon Vines—Kept oft with Cayenne;
also the Worm from Cabbage. —A farmer by the name-of Lynn, writes to one of the papers, that he has succeeded for many years in driving away cucumber and squash bugs from his vines, by dusting cayenne pepper upon them while wet with dew in the morning. He repeats the operation once a week, and finds 5 cents worth sufficient to keep his cucumber, melon and squash vines free during the season. He recently tried it upon the cabbage worm with success. I have no doubt a few tastes of the cayenne would be enough for them. See remarks, also about boxes,
