Slugs
and
Snails
are
great
enemies
to
every
kind
of
garden
plant,
whether
flower
or
vegetable;
they
wander
in
the
night
to
feed,
and
return
at
daylight
to
their
haunts.
In
order
to
catch
them
lay
cabbage
leaves
about
the
ground,
especially
on
the
beds
which
they
frequent.
Every
morning
examine
these
leaves,
and
you
will
find
a
great
many
taking
refuge
beneath,
and
these
may
be
killed
by
sprinkling
them
with
a
little
lime
or
salt.
These
minerals
are
very
annoying
to
snails
and
slugs;
a
pinch
of
salt
kills
them,
and
they
will
not
touch
fresh
lime.
It
is
a
common
practice
to
sprinkle
lime
over
young
crops,
and
along
the
edges
of
beds,
about
rows
of
peas
and
beans,
lettuces
and
other
vegetables;
but
when
it
has
been
on
the
ground
some
days,
or
has
been
moistened
by
rain,
it
loses
its
strength.
