The piece which- was only sprinkled, I found as well preserved as any of the rest. It resembled very much beef which had been jerked, and was uninjured in its flavour. I next tried the solution: on, various kinds of insects, which, ! found were speedily killed by being immersed in it, worms, bed bugs, &c, were driven ofi or destroyed by the solution of the Chloride of Lime. Supposing by anal ogy, that if it killed one kind of inseet, that it might destroy any, 1 next tried it on the zotavil in wheat. For this purpose, 1 dissolved one ounce of the Chloride ot Jblme in about one quart 01 water, arid sprinkled it all on two bushels of vvheatr and piled it on- a sneir m a room vvnere there was 50 or 60 bushels of clean wheat, full of weavil. I let it remain for two days, at which time I exaniined it, and found not a sin gle weavil in it, although alive with themf when I applied the solution. To prove the matter more fully I again re peated the experiment, early in. September past, r again dissolved the same quantity of the unioride 01 Liimc, m me same amouni qi water, as above, and -sprinkled 10 bnshels of wheat with jt, taken tro theesarae pile ift the same room,; and which-was at the timet full of weavil, the weather being both warm- and danm.

But the chief difficulty attend ing its application, as a preventive oi this dis ease in Cotton would arise from the extent of cotton, to which it would have to be applied to do any good. I have merely thrown out the above hint, that farmers may profit by it; should it on experiment be found of any ad vantage to them. Since the above experiment, 1 took from a field two nearly grown green pods of cotton, on each of which were one or two smalt specks or punctures, so well known as the incipient stages of putrefaction or rot in cotton. One bole I dipped in a solution of the Chloride of Lime,, the other , I let remain as it was, and placed them by in a warm but ventilated room, f he rot never progressed any farther in-the bole to which the Chloride of lime was appli ed, the rind of tho bole became! hard and .it opened and presuteftrgood-wjjitetop;.. I the other bole lidwerer, it continued to in crease, until the whole bole became entirely rotten, involving all the enclosed cotten.
