Take
a
quantity
of
cabbage
leaves,
and
either
put
them
into
a
warm
oven,
or
heat
them
before
the
fire
till
they
get
quite
soft;
then
rub
them
with
unsalted
butter,
or
any
kind
of
fresh
dripping,
and
lay
them
in
places
infested
with
slugs.
In
a
few
hours
the
leaves
will
be
found
covered
with
snails
and
slugs,
which
may
then,
of
course,
be
destroyed
in
any
way
the
gardener
may
think
fit.

To
Destroy
Slugs
(2).
Slugs
are
very
voracious,
and
their
ravages
often
do
considerable
damage,
not
only
to
the
kitchen
garden,
but
to
the
flower-beds
also.
If,
now
and
then,
a
few
slices
of
turnip
be
put
about
the
beds,
on
a
summer
or
autumnal
evening,
the
slugs
will
congregate
thereon,
and
may
be
destroyed.

To
Exterminate
Beetles.
i.
Place
a
few
lumps
of
unslaked
lime
where
they
frequent.
ii.
Set
a
dish
or
trap
containing
a
little
beer
or
syrup
at
the
bottom,
and
place
a
few
sticks
slanting
against
its
sides,
so
as
to
form
a
sort
of
gangway
for
the
beetles
to
climb
up
it,
when
they
will
go
headlong
into
the
bait
set
for
them.
iii.
Mix
equal
weights
of
red
lead,
sugar,
and
flour,
and
place
it
nightly
near
their
haunts.
This
mixture,
made
into
sheets,
forms
the
beetle
wafers
sold
at
the
oil
shops.
