1T is a mistake that many Cooks make
to butter or grease the spider lavishly.
That Is why the villainous odor fllls the
kitchen and settles upon ones clothing. A
little block an inch square, of fht pork, on

week or longer. Rub IL very lightly over
the spider, too. .,..l .. i... boa urs

To Dry FREsft MEAT,-Cut the flesh
into slices of from two to six ounces In
weight; immerse a small portion at a
time in boiling water for FIVE or six fnihi

ty. Lay the meat 10 dry on open ftrellis
work in drying stove, keeping the tenn
perature at about 122 degrees Fahrenheit.

weight. Add a little salt and spice, es.
pecially coriander, to the liquor or souT

THE Housekeeper says; "To free winter
plants from insects take waste tobacco
stems and steep them in water Until tlt
liquid is of the color of strong tea; Will
this water syringe the plants freely twice
week. This will not only .effectballj
destroy the green fly, but will keep il
check most other insects that infes
plants. Where only few plants are KEEP
in rooms tie easiest way is to dip tn,
plants entirely in the tobacco water, NOV
ing them up and down in the liquid Il
wash the insects off it if they have firm
hold. The, 'red spider is another pes
to winter blooming plants, and whereve
it is seen you may be certain that the at
mosphere has been too dry, and very like
ly the temperature too hot, as it is rarell
found in cool, damp atmosphere. ThI
treatment of this insect in the green
house is copious syringings with water
but where but few plants are grown il
the house it is best to go over the leaves
especially on the under side, with a we
sponge. The red spider is so minute tha
it is hardly distinguishable by the nake'
eye, but its destructive effects are Quickl,
perceptible, as the leaves upon which
works soon become brown, and if tn
leaves are closely examined, particular,
the under side, the minute insect will b
seen in great numbers
