woolens may be kept safely from moths
during the summer by brushing thor

eggs; then wrap them up in newspaper

Mango Ell following is safe and
most effective remedy: Whale (sperm)
oil, six ounces; oil of tar, three ounces;
lac sulphur, two ounces, The skin
should be thoroughly washed before
the remedy is applied. At the end of
the second or third day the animal is
again to be washed, and the remedy
re-applied, as it is very possible that all
the ova (of the mango insecD are not
killed by the first dressing. Mango be-
ing contagious disease, it is essential
that your horse should be kept from
other horses. The clothing is to be
boiled in solution of soap and car
bolic acid, and the harness, saddle and
grooming utensils washed with warm
water and soap, and dressed with So
luton of arsenic, or corrosive subli-
mate, in the proportion of ten grains to
the ounce of water. This may be re-
peated. Spirit Of the Times.
Durable or Cake Yeast.-Most good
cooks prefer liquid yeast, but as that is
apt to become Unexpectedly sour, espe-
cially in hot weather, prudent house
keeper will provide herself with sup
ply of that which keeps, and may be
found ready at any moment. Laying
prejudice aside, excellent light bread
can be made with this same cake yeast
and it is, at all events, well to know
how it may be prepared. Take half a
gallon of water to quarter of pound
of hops, and boil them together till the
water is reduced to one quart. Strain
and thicken it with flour, and boil it to
the consistency of common starch. Let
it stand till milk-warm; then put a tea
cupful of good liquid yeast to it, and
set it aside until well leavened. Then
stir into it Indian meal until it is stiff
enough to roll out into cakes or make
up into small balls. Dry them on a
board in the shade, turning them five or
six times in the course of the day. 1t is
better for them to be in place exposed
as much as possible to the air, or even
wind. When you use this yeast, take a
piece about an inch square, or as much
as will fill teaspoon when it is rubbed
up to powder, and dissolve in little
warm milk or water short while be-
fore you are ready for it. To this
quantity put quart of -four, made up
with half pint of milk or water. -
