TO DESTROY INsECTs.-Hot alum
water is a recent suggestion as an
insectitude. 1t destroys red and
black ants, cockroaches, spiders,
chintz-bugs and all other crawling
pests that lnfest our houses. Take
two pounds of alum and dissolve it
in three or four quarts of boiling
water; let it stand on the fire until
the alum disappears; then apply it
with brush, while nearly boiling
hot, to every joint and crevice in
your closets, bedsteads, pantry
shelves, and the like. Brush the
crevices in the floor of the skirting
or mop-boards, if you suspect that
they harbor vermin. If in white
washing a ceiling, plenty OF alum is
added to the lime, it will also serve
to keep insects at a distance. Cock
reaches will flee the paint which
has been washed in cool alum wa
ter. Sugar barrels and boxes can
be freed from ants by drawing a
wide chalk line just around the edge
of the top of them. The mark must
be unbroken or they will creep over
it, but a continuous chalk line half
an inch in width will set their dep
relations at naught. Powdered al
UNI or borax will keep the chintz.
bug at a respectable distance, and
travellers should always carry a
package of it in their hand bags, to
scatter over and under their pillows
in places where they have reason to
suspect the presence ofsuch bed-fel-
lows.

Dickersonville, Mag. Co.. N. Y, Feb. ss,'71.
About one year ago L caught a
severe cold in the head, which ter
minated in a severe form of catarrh.
During the time alterations occur

came wholly deaf in one ear, with
partial deafness in the other. The
Inflammation had involved all the
delicate structures of the ears, and
l was in immediate danger Of per.
manent deafness. The discharge
became protuse and fetid, both into
my throat and from my ears. In

Preserving Milk.

The American artisan has an &C
count of a new process, the inyen-
ton of Mr.. L. F. Kirchofer, for pre-
serving milk. The object of this
invention is to subject milk to such
a treatment that, without altering
it's elements or taste, and without
the addition Of any foreign sub
stance, it may be preserved in its
natural state for several months
without changing, except the rising
Of cream, whether it is kept in a
state Of rest or subject to constant
movement, as in sea voyages. If
this object be accomplished, the in
vention is a most important one, as
condensed milk is not in favor with
most people when used directly as
an article of food, although it is ex-
oeilsnt when used iii cookery, Or for
tea or COTE. In Mr., Kirchoter's
process the milk, fresh drawn from
the COW, is placed in cans or bottles
which are filled as nearly full as
possible, and Immediately corked
tightly or Theoretically sealed.
The cans or bottles are then plac-
ed in bath of water, heated to the
same temperature as the milk, in
such a manner as to allow free
circulation Of water beneath and
around but never over them. The
temperature Of the water bath is
thus slowly raised to between 100
and i7Oo Fair. The water is KEEP
at this temperature for a greater or
less length of time, according to the
period during which it is desired to
preserve the milk. One hour will,
it is claimed, preserve the milk four
or five weeks. Five hours heating
is enough tor eight months or a
year.
The fire is then Withdrawn and
the bath allowed to cool down slow
ly, after which the cans are with
drawn and the operation is compile
ted. An essential condition Of sue
cess is that the vessels deigned to
contain the milk should be perfect
ly clean and sweet, and the milk it.
self pure and unadulterated. If the
temperature be'raised above the de-
gree indicated, the milk acquires a
cooked taste.

hot as can be borne; add hot water
after the feet have been in = few
minutes, as they will bear more than

In no ono thing do farmers more

A USEFUL SoAP.-The following
is commended by those who have
tried it for scrubbing and cleansing
painted floors, washing dishes, and
other household purposes: Take two
pounds of white olive soap and
shave it in thin slices; add two
ounces Of borax and two quarts of
cold water; stir all together in a
stone or carthorn jar, and let it set
upon the back of the stove until the
mass is dissolved. Avery little heat
is required, as the liquid need not
simmer. When thoroughly mixed
and cooled, it becomes otthe consis-
tency Of a thick jelly, and a piece
the size of 4 cubic inch will make a
lather for u gallon OF water.
