"A. H.," in the January issue, page 18, wishes to know of some efficient remedy for the destruction of thrip in his grapery. If "A. H." gets the water in his pipes to nearly boiling pitch and then paints them over with sulphur mixed -with milk or water, at the same time damping paths, walls, etc., keeping the heat up in his pipes for two or three hours, he will find a complete destruction of both thrip and red spider, unless very badly affected, when a second or third application may be necessary. This operation however must not be performed until after the fruit has passed the size of ordinary peas. If the fruit has reached the coloring stage sometimes a slight sediment may be seen left upon the berry, but this will disappear without causing any injury. If "A. H.'s" house is heated by a flue great caution is necessary, as sulphur applied to any over-heated flue emits fumes fatal to vegetation.
