Kerosene Emulsion.

Kerosene emulsions may be made by
various emulsifying agents, but the
most satisfactory substances and those
most available to the average farmer
and fruitgrower are milk and soapsuds
In each of these cases the amount Of
emulsifying agent should be one-half
the quantity of kerosene. Following is
a formula approved by the department
of agriculture.
Kerosene. ..............2 gallons t67 per cent?
oil soap soap =. "n.o pound 1873 per cent?
wafer. .......'....... Bitllon
Heat the solution of soap and add it
boiling hot to the kerosene. Churn the
mixture by means Of force pump and
spray nozzle for five or ten minutes. The
emulsion, if perfect, forms a cream
which thickens upon cooling and shoyld
adhere without oiliness to the surface
of glass If the water from the soil is
hard or has a large percentage of lime,
add a little lye or bicarbonate of soda,
or else use rainwater. For use against
scale insects dilute one part of the emul-
sion with nine parts of cold water, For
most other insects dilute one part Of the
emulsion with Is parts of water: For
soft insects like plant lice the dilution
may be carried to from 20 to 20 parts of
water The milk emulsion is produced
by the same methods as the above.

HucKABAoK DARN1NG.

Perhaps the most durable and
effective work at present in use is the
huckaback darning The material
used is the ordinary hdckaback which
comes at twenty cents a yard, and is
from twelve to thirteen inches wide
The silk used is the Roman floss, and
is very effective if used in black. Al
most anything can be made, from
laundry bag to a sideboard scarf, or a
gentleman S tie.
For "A scarf or bag, have any coz
ventional design stamped, such as
santiowers, or daisies, and outline or
work them in long or short, and then
fill IN the remainder Of the material,
round about them in any of the pretty
darning stitches. Your ingenuity will
suggest to you many new and fancy
ores, and new ones for this durable
material. Any article made in this
work, and using these materials will
last as long as anyone could desire,
and will allow of being washed any
number of times.
A pretty piece is sofa pillow, with
wreath of leaves done in long or
short stitches with the Roman floss
in pale green. Another pretty one
was seen in pale yellow, the design
being buttercups
