THE TROUBLESOME MOTH.
How to Deal with This Destroying In
sect In Furniture and Carpets.

How to Deal with This Destroying In
sect In Furniture and Carpets.
Furniture is one of the favorite hid
ing places of moths. The worms seldom
attack the covering, the hair consti-
tuting much better food. Benzine and
liquids of q like character are frequent
ly used to drive out the pests. This soft
ems the hair and is at best uncertain.
Upholstered furniture should be treated
each spring with mixture of borax and
powdered tobacco leaves. By removing
n few tacks from the bottom covering a
half ounce or so of the powder is easily
busted in. This will effectually preserve
the hair from attack. The outside COW
ering of furniture not in use during the
summer is best protected by being dust
ed with borax and then completely COW
cred with old newspapers. Furs, being
worn only during part of each year, are
exceedingly subject to destruction by
moths. A cedar closet or chest is usual
ly considered proof against attack. 1t
is, however, Of little avail if the moth
eggs have been deposited in an article
previous to its packing away. Beating
ruins fur and does comparatively little
toward removing the eggs, which are
laid at the root of the hair, where the
natural grease of the animal is most
abundant.
Hot, dry air is the most effective
means Of destroying moth eggs. Mate
rails to be treated should be hung on
chairs in small room heated by fur
mace or steam. Windows and doors be-
ing closed, the drafts are turned on full
force. From "a to 4S hours of this treat
ment will be necessary, according to
the temperature and dryness of the air.
/ BY the end Of that time embryo insects
will be dead. The eggs may then be re-
moved by brushing. If cedar chests are
available, the furs must be sprinkled
with borax, wrapped in newspaper and
packed in tight trunk or box, which
should not be opened again until all its
contents can be removed
Whenever possible, carpets should be
subjected to the purifying influence of
heat and dry air, then sprinkled with
finely powdered tobacco and borax. 1t
is well to cover them with crash during
the summer. II this is DONE the pow
der may BIO left on. If covering is i'm
practicable, the mixture should be
brushed Off lightly after "a hours.
Enough will remain in the nap to prove
an effective safeguard. Curtains, por-
there's and other hangings may be treat
ed in u similar manner.
