MOTH PREvENTIvE.-Mo can be
kept ont of carpets by having the floor
washed in strong suds III Which borax
has been dissolved at the rate of table,
spoonful toa pail of water, and after
busting black pepper on the edges tack
the carpet down again. BY this means
moths are kept away, and as corners and
folds are their favorite hiding place they
are searched out and destroyed. Ingram
and other carpets after being taken up
can be frightened in color by sprinkting
q pound or two of salt over their surface
and sweeping carefully. 1t is usual to
occasionally wipe off the carpet with
borax water, using wet flannel and TAX
ing care not to wet the carpet but only
to dampen it.
CREAM CANDY.-One coffee cup oil
white sugar, one or two tablespoonful
of water, enough to make it dissolve
nicely as its heats; boil without stirring,
in a bright tin pan, until it will crisp In
water, like molasses candy. just before
it is done put in a tablespoonful OF ex-
tract of vanilla and quarter OF table
spoonful of cream of tartar. When sui
| ficiently done pour into a buttered pan,
and when cool enough to handle, work
it as you would molasses candy, until 1t
is perfectly white-then stretch and lay
on a marble slab, or if you have to use
the molding board, put buttered papers
over it, and with chopping knife cuti
into mouthfuls and set IL away until II
creams, which it will do as it dries out
! If it grains before it is done, or before
you have chance to pull it, but it back
into the pan and pour water on 1t and
boil 1T over again.
A Coop AND CHEAP WHITEwAsH.-
Few people know how easily whitewash
is made and how valuable it is when
properly applied. 1t not only prevents
the decay of wood, but is greatly con-
| ducive to the healthfulness of buildings,
whether wood or stone. ut-buildings
and fences, when not painted should be
supplied once or twice year, with good
coat of whitewash, which should be pre-
pared in the following way: Take clean,
water tight barrel or other suitable cask,
and put into it about half bushel OF
! lime; slack it by pouring water over n
boiling hot, and put in a sufficient guam
/ tity of water to cover it five inches deep,
and stir it briskly till thoroughly slack
! ened; when the slackening has been
thoroughly effected, dissolve in water
! and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc
and common salt These will cause the
wash to harden and prevent the cracking,
which gives an unseemly appearance to
the work. If desirable a beautiful cream
color may be given to the above wash by
adding three pounds of yellow ochre, or
good pearl by lead, lamp, vine or Ivy
black. For fawn color add four pounds
of lumber, Turkish or American-the lat
ter is the cheapest-one pound of Indian
red, one pound of common lampblack.
