however
pretty,
are
the
worst
enemies
one
can
have
in
a
garden;
a
single
insect
of
this
kind
may
deposit
eggs
enough
to
overrun
a
tree
with
caterpillars,
therefore
they
should
be
destroyed
at
any
cost
of
trouble.

Birds.
To
prevent
destruction
of
fruit
buds
by
birds.--Just
before
the
buds
are
ready
to
burst,
and
again
when
they
have
begun
to
expand,
give
them
a
plentiful
dusting
with
chimney
soot.
The
soot
is
unpalatable
to
the
birds,
and
they
will
attack
no
bush
that
is
thus
sprinkled.
It
in
no
way
injures
the
nascent
blossom
or
leaf,
and
is
washed
off
in
due
course
of
time
by
the
rain.

Wasps.
Wasps
destroy
a
good
deal
of
fruit,
but
every
pair
of
wasps
killed
in
spring
saves
the
trouble
and
annoyance
of
a
swarm
in
autumn.
287.
Cure
for
Sting
of
Wasp
or
Bee.
A
little
ammonia
applied
to
the
puncture
will
speedily
relieve
the
pain,
and
so
will
the
juice
of
an
onion
obtained
by
cutting
an
onion
in
half
and
rubbing
the
cut
part
over
the
part
affected.
It
is
necessary,
however,
to
be
very
careful
in
any
attempt
upon
a
wasp,
for
its
sting,
like
that
of
the
bee,
causes
much
pain
and
frequently
induces
considerable
swelling.
In
case
of
being
stung,
get
the
blue-bag
from
the
laundry,
and
rub
it
well
into
the
wound
as
soon
as
possible.
Later
in
the
season,
it
is
customary
to
hang
vessels
of
beer,
or
water
and
sugar,
in
the
fruit-trees,
to
entice
them
to
drown
themselves.
A
wasp
in
a
window
may
be
killed
almost
instantaneously
by
the
application
of
a
little
sweet
oil
on
the
tip
of
a
feather.
