How to Get Rid Of Ants

hOW I'D G6b 1lU OF Anus
During a recent visit to Mr..
Human, in Ostheim, / had an
opportunity Of becoming ac-
qusinted with a very successful
method OF getting rid Of ants,
which are so troublesome in the
apiary.
One takes small bottles, ellis
them half full of syrup or swee-
tened water and puts them in
the places where the ants have
their passage ways in such man
ner as the necks of the bottles
lean against a wall or board, in
order that the ants may easily
fall into the trap and down.
BY means Of camphor, ants
may be driven from rooms where
honey i stored.
In gardens lime-dust operates
very dcstructively upon them.
Their hills, after being scratched
open, are sprinkled with lime
dust and then hot water is pour
cd on them.
To render jars or preserved
fruits inaccessible to these in
sects, place the jars in chests
whose bottoms have been previ-
Gus covered with ashes or pull
verified chalk.

Information from Washing
ton relative to this seasons TO-
bacco crop is to the effect that
in twelve of the largest tobac-
co growing states there is con-
siderable falling off as COM
pared with last year. The to-
bacco yield of Connecticut Val
ley is the only one that shows
an increase. The falling off is
not attributed to any failure in
the crops, but to the fact that a
small area was planted. Owing
to the agitation of the question
Of the reduction of the tax on
tobacco, during the last session
OF Congress, tobacco was stored
away and not sent to the manu-
facturers, and consequently the
greater part of last yeass' crop
is still on hand.

To Correct Bad Tastes in
Butter.

The disagrceable taste given
to butter when the cows are on
turnips may be effectualIy corr
itcted by the use Of little COM
mon uitrc, Tor saltpetre), but. the
common mode Of using this pre-
veRtiye is not the best. It has
been usual to put a lump of salt
petre in the milk pail. 1t will
sometimes happen, however,
that. the niire remains undis-
solved and the miiks retain the
objectionable flavor. Instead
Of this make a strong solution
OF saltpetrc say a pint of boil
ing water upon an ounce OF salt
Ictre--and when thoroughly dis
solved, put in a bottle and stand
In cool place. Before milking
put into the milk-pail a spoon
ful Of this solution, or more, ac-
ccrding 10 the quantity Of milk
expected, and adj turnip flavor
will be destroyed. The sub
stance will, also, in a great de-
gree, destroy the bad favor Civ
en to butter by the yellow crows
foot or butter cup. This has
been tried and found servicea-
ble. Another plan, equally, if
not efficient, is to scald the
cream after the saltpetre has
bee:s inserted.

THE DUTY on SPUN SILK YARN.
. ths Edttor Of The Tribune.


SIR: The writer proposes to ask question
about spun silk yarn, and also give answers to this
ouestlou with view OF setting forth such facts as the
peope who are directly and indirectly interested IN the
subject should know, in order that our Government may
abolish altogether or least greatly reduce, the present
duty this material
why ought carled, waste spun silk yarns In skeius
to be admitted free OF dutyi Because 1t is ma
terial aud needs good deal Of labor upon 1t before
IL is ht to use Now single spun silk is just about as
far advanced in process OF manufacture as ordinary
raw silk not far advanced as re-reeled raw silk
Ordinary raw silk OF usually large reel is admitted free
OF duty but single and twoold spun silk is taxed 80
rer cent The rereeled silk has mad labor expended
upon it equal to at fifty cents per pound and yet
that comes In free also. Many OF our American silk
manufacturers have this re-reeng done In Europe, in
Japan China, to prepare t as fully as possible
for their machinery before 1t here. Throwing
this rereeed silk, in other words twisting 1t and
doubling it into tram and organzinc 1.-THE former for fill
ing aud the latter for warp costs on an average, say
eighty cents pound but if this is done abroad the tram
and the organznc is taxed 35 per cent duty when IL
rlyes here. when looks at the difference between
eighty cents and 80 per cent upon pound of tra cost
ing say $5 per pound about nnetyye cents, he has
90 further FOR reason why no tram ana organzhe
This throwing" process certainly gives employment
on aud orgRnZlue benefits Us somewhat, even II 1t
affords revenue to the Government.
This consideration, however, Will not hold good In
favor OF taxing spun silk yarn 30 per cent for the re-
tnat only moderate quantity OF IL Is spun here
Manufacturers anxious 10 use ~, Dut IL cannot DO
had except from abroad, aud the tax 80 per cent rem
dcrs 1t too expensive to Tho most excellent under
wear is made In Europe from spun SILK and this unde
wear comes to this country and pays go per cent duty
Our hosiery manufacturers able to make just as
good underwear the foreigners, aud anxious to do
| II as they have the yarn free. Why don't
they silk that does come IN free Because raw
silk IA not suitable for knitting and spun silk is
Not hosiery manufacturer in this country Is making
kpun silk shirts drawers and stockings, though the
| son is that they cannot do It, but that the
raw material SO heavily taxed Give free spun silk
yarn and silk uudershirs, drawers and socks OF Ameri
can manufacture will be plenty and cheap The same
remarks apply 10 mixed dress goods fOulards,
etc. etc Manufacturers Of these want to employ spun
silk largely, bat cannot One OF the largest silk manu-.
facurers in Paterson remarked few days ago that II
the Government would only abolish the duty spun
| silk yarns, he would double his mill capacity at
once and use very largely OF it in his looms. Goods
made spun silk yarns ought TO be plenty and cheap

In each case the interest Of the loan 10 be made pay
ablo in gold. That is tho bait TO the hook. without
desiring TO attribute to these municipalities any greater
want of rectitudc than that which to bo generally
dfused through the Western atmosphere, should like
10 put two questions
First Let us suppose that through the successful efforts
OF the Western inhaonsts aided by the Eastern allies
they have picked up succeed in again reaching that
happy condition OF things when one dollar in gold Is
worth two paper does any suppose that in such
a conIuncture the interest these bonds now to DO
placed would be paid in gold, as now proposedi
Second Suppose that the bloated bondholders should
be SO rasping IA demand anything unreasonable
and should rely Federal Courts to sustain their pre-
tensions, does any suppose that Judge billions would
he wanting 10 protect Western debtors ! That dis
tngushed juris recently informed Eastern suitors who
before him plaintiffs that IL useless
endeayor 10 prosecute claims for interests where the
bonded principal exceeded 10 per cent Of tho assessed
value OF the municipality that issued such bonds. He
refused q mandamus, and gave the plaintiffs till noxt
term TO consider proposals TO scale and reduce the
claim And this was from Judge or the United States
