Safe Gasoline Storage.

Experiment has shown that gaso-

Martini and Huenecke have made
storage and distribution practically
safe by providing an underground
reservoir, with a special double de-

Tons of Insects Caught by Lure Of
Light.
The fight of Massachusetts, against
the gypsy and browntail moths has
been going on for years, and large
sums have been expended for spray
Ing trees, destroying eggs and expert
menting with moth parasites. These
methods, however, have proved clum-
BY and Inefficient. They have en-
phasized' the need of a real and
economical exterminator, and thus
long sought boon seems to have been
discovered at last in the remarkable
electric light trap reported from Zit'
tan, Saxony. This apparatus in
portable form should be able to free
large area from pests of moths and
caterpillars at comparatively small
cost. The trap includes two power
full searchlights, and these are ar
RANGED over powerful exhaust fans
which suck the air into a deep recep-
tacle. In the first trial the trap has
been placed at the top of the nunicip-
al electric station. The reflectors at
night throw two great streams of light
upon the wooded mountain sides a
half mile away, and the effect has
been amazing. Lured along the
great white ways the moths have
come in fiuttering armies. At GER
tain distance from the reflectors the
draught from the fans catches the
dazed victims, which are then whirled
into the pit beneath. The first nights
catch of three tons should mark
new era.

BORAX IN THE DAIRY.
A Matter of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and Dairyman.


The problem of keeping sweet all
the utentils used in connection with
milk and cream selling, and butter
making. has been a serious one with
the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest taint or hint of staleness
left in can, tin or churn may ruin
a whole output; that the taint which
is left is in the form of bacteria
which grow and multiply in milk or
butter, producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learned that hot
water won't rinse away the greasy
residue in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves a
residue of its own which is, IL any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
there has been a constant clamor for
a dairy cleanser and sweetener tina:
will meet modern requirements.
A few of the largest creamery es-
Establishments have called experts into
consultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon a
product of nature which exactly fills
the bill-borax.
Scientists have long known borax
as a cleanser, sweetener and an
antiseptic destroyer of bacteria and
germ growths. Destroys all that Is
harmful and promotes and preserves
freshness, sweetness and purity, re-
lieving the dairyman and dairy house
wife of drudgery and of needless
work and worry.
Its cheapness and value should gi-e
1t first place in the necessities Of
every dairy.
The cows udder is kept in a clean,
healthy and smooth condition by
washing it with borax and water, a
tablespoonful of borax to two quarts
of water.
This prevents roughness and sore
ness or cracking teats, which make
milking time a dread TO the COW and
worry to the mixer.
The modern cleanser of all dairy
utensils consists of-one tablespoon
full of borax to every quart Of water
needed. Remember tablespoonful
equals four teaspoonfuls.

"THE PALE GIRL"
Did Not Know Coffee Was the Cause.

In cold weather some people think
cup of hot coffee good to help keep
warm. So it is-for a short time but

action is to cause more chilliness.
There is a hot wholesome drink

was the same as poison to US.

CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS.

Don't be afraid to scrub the plants

tobacco every leaf and stem should be
scrubbed to remove insects. The bath
