The Hessian fl, deposits its eggs on the wheat ear before it is reaped: the egg is sp small as to be invisible to the naked eye, but may foe very distinctly seen wilh a microscope sometimes one grain of ftheat will be observed to have sev eral of these eggs on it.' »They are attached to the wheat by a glutinous substance, deposited around them by th« parent fly, by which they are held so firmly on the surface, as not to be easily removed by the motion of rawing, threshing, &c Shortly after m4$eed begins to germinate in the soivthe genial beat the season brings the young fly from its egg in the form of a very small maggot, (as is the case with all insects') these little maggots deposite themselves at tbe root of the stalk, to the seed of which their egg has been attach ed between the stem and the lowest blade or leaf, where they may be discovered daring the month of May and beginning of June, quietlyreposing here they remain until the warmth of tbe season brings them to maturity, when they commence eating the substance to which they have been attached It is not until this period that their destructive ef fects are visible, by the wheat be coming withered and blighted Vhis accounts for the fact, that wheat, which is attacked by this de structive insect, presents a healthy appearance Until the month of June, the period at which this embrio fly begins to use food.

evident

that if tbe eggs

of this fly can be destroyed on the seed wheat by any process that will not also destroy the vegetative qual ity of the grain, the ruinous effects will be avoided Ibis can be done by the follown simple process:— "Soak the seed wheat in water for twelve hours spread it out on the bam floor, so as to allow the superabundant water to escape, then take fresh slacked lime, and mix it among the wheat in quantity sufficient to have every grain covered with the lime, taking care to stir the wheat well with the shovel, so that no particle may escape coming in full con tact with the lime, which when thus applied, will in a short time destroy the eggs, and consequently presei^e the grain from destruction

Our correspondent assures us that the egg, which before the application of the lime, appears clear and transparent, afterwards becomes opaque, and puts on the appearance of ao addled egg* 'The efficacy of the above remedy has been established by several experiments, one of which we will here relate. Wheat supposed to be infected with the Iies&ian fly. was taken, one half of the quantity was treated with lime and the other half was sown in the same soil with the prepared se«d, in alternate drills the result was. that every stalk from the prepared seed came to maturity and was produc tive. whilst the alternate drills which had beeu sowu with unprepared seed were almost totally destroyed
