THE BUFFALO MOTH.

Several readers of Good Housekeeping
have written Of the annoyance of the
buffalo bug, and asking for suggestions
for exterminating them. Ihave been We
ry much troubled by them for several
years past; not a place in the house be-
ing free from their inroads. l have even
foundt them In a box devoted entirely to
paper patterns. l tried everything in the
form of insect powder, camphor, tar pa
per. in fact everything that could be used
in such cases. Finally 1 got ten cents
worth of corrosive sublimate, and half a
pint of alcohol Git is not soluble in wa

bottle and after it was thoroughly dis
solved applied with an old varnish brush
to every crack and corner of the room
for the distance of about twelve inches
from the sides. My experience with the
bugs has proved that they rarely pene-
trate further from the edge of the room
than this, for they must have air.
In every place where l have used the
mixture, it has proved effectual and the
bugs have not yet returned. When the
carpet was ready for lacking, l touched
lightly the edges that came in contact
with the baseboards with the wet brush
to ''make assurance doubly sure" Great
care should be used by the person using
the sublimate, for it is poison; gloves
should be worn and a person with deli
cate throat or lungs should tie a hand
kerchief over the nose and mouth, as the
fumes sometimes induce coughing. Per-
haps this suggestion may assist to light

WHAT SALT is GOOD FOR.

When you give your cellar its spring
cleaning, add a little copperas-water and
salt to the whitewash.
For relief from heartburn or dyspepsia
drink a little cold water in which has
been dissolved te%aspoonful of salt.
Ink stains on linen can be taken out If
the stain is first washed in strong salt
ana then sponged with lemon Juice.
For stains on the hands, nothing is bet
ter than salt, with enough lemon juice to
moisten it, rubbed on the spots and then
washed off in clean water.
In a basin of water, salt, of course,
falls to the bottoms; so never soak salt
fish with the skin side down, as the salt
will fall to the skin and remain there.

each, followed with sweet oil, melted
butter or milk, is the antidote for Fow-

is appreciated only by the few. We do
not scruple to add. that a better farm and

public an epitome of them; we hope that

If they have any doubt on this subject
hereafter, they may add, by all admirers
of good stock in general and the Ameri-
can Agriculturist in particular. Why it
is that our farmers are so careless in the
breeding of good horses we cannot di-
vine; for a superior carriage horse al
ways commands a handsome price and is
of quick sale. We have looked over sew
era hundred pairs of horses brought to
this city for sale within the past six
months, and there were scarcely ten re-
ally prime ones sixteen hands high
among them. These brought from 500
to $500 the pair readily, and 5000 is the
very lowest price on an average that may
be expected for them. The dealers usu-
ally calculate upon an advance of 5000
for breaking, and risk an expense of
marketing, which, considering the many
mishaps which occur, is none too much.
Estimating the average price, then, of
good carriage horses at 5000 per pair, and
deducting 5000 for marketing, it leaves
$500 to the farmer, which makes it a fair
business and well worth his bestowing
more attention than he now does on the
blood and rearing of this most service

BREAD.

In the composition of good bread there
are four important requirements; good
flour, good yeast, thorough kneading and
proper baking. Flour should be white
and dry, crumbling easily again after
being pressed hard in the hand. If it is
in the least mustv or sour, the chances
are ten to one against your having good
bread. Next in importance to the flour
is the yeast. This should be light in
color and lively, effervescing easily when
shaken and emitting an odor like ammo
MIA. If dull or sour, it is bad. Knead
your bread faithfully. Do o work
the dough over without spending any
strength. A half hour is the least time
to be given to %kneading a baking of
bread. Young housekeepers, and often
those who should have learned better,
frequently fall into a mistake in the con-
sistency of the dough. 1t should be
mixed as soft as it can be handled. The
dough should be set in a moderately
warm place, and kept at al ven temper
allure. If it is too cool, the fermentation
is arrested. and the bread fails to rise ;
if it is too warm, the work goes forward
too rapidly; and the bread is puffy and
strong. The former difficulty may be
remedied by more heat, and the latter by
a little soda dissolved in water and
worked thoroughly into the dough.
While rising it is much better to over
with a cloth or paper, as that keeps the
cold draughts from it.
The oven should not be too hot, for
too much fire at first and then cooling off
forms a hard crust and leaves the middle
undOne, or what Is termed "slack-baked.'
The heat should be uniform in all parts
of the oven, as this prevents the loaf
from cracking open, or one side rising
lighter than the others. When the loaves
are baked lay them on a cloth and battle
with sweet milk, and put a cloth closely
over them. This keeps in the steam, and
the milk makes the crust soft and tender.
Some of the best cooks think that laying
a cloth over hot bread Injuries its flavor,
and prefer to leave the crust hard to COW
ering it.

THE EFFECT OF THE TARIFF ON
WOOL

The New York Tribune publishes a
chart which shows in a very graphic and
striking way the influences of protection
and free trade upon the wool trade in the
United States and in Great Britain res
pectively. In 1859 the American wool
growers produced 60, O00, 900 pounds of
wool, and in the same year the British
wool growers produced 14O, zoo, 900
pounds. In 1883 the American wool
growers produced over 300, OOO, 900 pounds
and in that year the British wool grow
ers produced only l32,410,OOO pounds.
That is to say, under "a years of pro-
lection the American wool product in
creased five fold, while under the same
period of free trade the British produc-
ton actually fell off between seven and
eight million pounds. This statement
ought to interest American free-trade pa
pers like the Springfield Republican,
which pop up every now and then and
want to know why the United States has
not as many sheep to the square mile as
Great Britain.
So also as to the manufacture. In 1859
the British manufacturers consumed
23S, 900, 900 pounds of wool, while Amer
lean manufacturers used only about one
third of that amount, or $4,000, 900
pounds. But in 1882 our manufacturers
consumed 353, 900 900 pounds, while the
British manufacturers in the same year
used only 33s, 900, 900 pounds. Since the
changes which were made in the tariff in
1888 there has been some decline both in
w~ool-growing and manufacture. Our
product of wool in 1887 was 265. OOO. 900
pounds, and our consumption 364, 7O3, 127
pounds, against 3SS. 524,4O4 pounds in the
year previous and 400, 642, 549 pounds in
1885, which wa the highest figure ever
reached. Whoever compares this record
of a quarter of a century in protective
America and free trade England will see
little reason to Justify us in abandoning
a system under which we haye made
great strides in national prosperity in
order to adopt that under which England
has fallen behind.

A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING.

The Importance of having a place for
every tool and article about the farm and
never failing to have that place filled is
only realized by that man who has OBJ
served that habit closely for sufficient
time to calculate upon the saving thus oc-
casioned. To drop a tool where it is last
used is a habit sure to result in serious
injury. 1t is told of a certain man. as a
fact, that coming home late one evening
he took the harness off of the horse in the
yard and threw it IN the ground. He put
the horse in the barn, left the carriage
out-of-dOors as usual, and went to sleep,
perfectly sober, but very tired. During
the night a storm came and the snow
blew into great heaps. When it was nee
essary to ride out the sleigh was found in
another corner of the yard (the only car
riage house on the FARM, the uncombed
horse brought from the barn, but search
revealed no harness, and it could not be
remembered when it was last used or left.
An old harness was brought into use and
it was not until spring suns had melted
the snow that the harness was discovered
where it rested during the winter. The
bars are down on this farm and every
where one stumbles over something that
remains near the place where it was last
used. The farm is an eye-sore and if put
on the market today, though in an excel
lent location, would find it difficult to get
a purchaser.
Another farmer is recalled, by way of
contrast, who started with poorer pros
poets than the one just considered. He
kept an orderly tool house and each child
or employee was strictly charged to see
to it without fail that a tool when used
was promptly cleaned and restored to its
place. He was an indulgent father, and
the children feared but one thing, the
misplacing of any tool, which would be
certain to incur their fathers displeasure.
This habit has its beneficial results. 1t
has saved time, and today if the farm,
though but ordinarily situated, was an
nounced for sale, it would bring a high
price. "Order is heavens first law and
the sooner the farmer or any other per-
son puts himself in harmony with it the

wool that it will be ''all things to all
men," The report accompanying the bill
assures the manufacturer that the object
is to enable him to obtain his woods
cheaper and assures the grower that it is
to ''put wool on the free list to enable
the manufacturer to import foreign wool
to mix with his and thus enlarge his
market and quicken the demand for the
consumption of home wool" How the
