mashed potatoes three tablespoonfuls each

fuls of salt. To this add one pint ofboiline
hot potato water one quart Of boiling
water. and one quart of cold water. Stir
well, and when cool add two or three yeast
cakes according to strength. Let II stand
over night before using, or until white
scum rises to the top. When you want to
make your bread, take what fsur you are
likely to need and heat it thoroughly On
the stove, then use one pint Of yeast to
each loaf of bread you want. Work IN
plenty of flour, and make up into loaves to
bake. When light, put in the oven and

QUICK WAY TO GET RID OF MOTHS.
When moths once get into room it is
difficult to extirpate them. HarpsY's
Bd-ar gives, however, the following pro-
cess for destroying them, which is easy and
worthy of trial: Close all the windows and
all doors leading from the room about to
undergo treatment; open wide each drawer
and closet and hang the contents over
chairs or upon clothes horse brought into
the room for the occasion. Take piece of
gum camphor as large as a hazelnut for an
ordinary room Gas large as walnut for q
room 20 by l6) put it in an iron pot or
upon an iron stand. Set fire to the cam.
phor. 1t burns very fercely, so set it at
safe distance from the furniture and bang
ings; the middle of the room is the best
place for it, unless this is directly under q
chandelier, in which case it can be placed
more to the side, as the heat is apt to in
jure the gliding or bronze.
The dense smoke soon permeates every
nook and corner and snffocates every in
sect that inhales it. Canary birds and gold
fish are to be carried from the room before
beginning operations. and as soon as the
camphor begins to burn the operator may
leave the room, as, provided, she has taken
the above precautions, there will be no
danger of the fire spreading. The camphor
will burn from a quarter to half an hour,
but it can be extinguished at any moment
by placing over ii a stove lid or the cover
of the pot. Let the smoke remain in the
room about half an hour, then open the
windows wide, leave them so all day. All
the rooms can be treated in succession or
all at once, care being taken to guard
against fire.
