[Footnote 22: That the above application would be beneficial, is rendered still more worthy of credit from the following experience:—In the Dhoon, the white ant is a most formidable enemy to the sugar planter, owing to the destruction it causes to the sets when first planted. Mr. G.H. Smith says, that there is a wood very common there, called by the natives Butch, through, which, they say, if the irrigating waters are passed in its progress to the beds, the white ants are driven away.

Assuming Liebig's formula of Proteine, namely, C-48 N-6 H-36 0-4 the results stand thus:—
Nitrogen. Proteine compounds. Per cent. Per cent. Maize meal (unhusked) 1.73 10.72 Plantain meal .88 5.45 Cassava meal (juice expressed) .36 2.23 Ditto from the sliced and dried roots .78 4.83 ]
