Moths In the House.

Moths In the House.
Moths are serious menace to furs,
feathers and wooden goods during
May, June, July, August and Septem-
Der. The chronological division of
the state department of agriculture
advises shaking or brushing articles
of clothing on which eggs, visible with
the naked eye, are found and then
storing them in air tight receptacles.
When carefully packed in such recep-
ticles put few ounces of carbon
bisulphide into a saucer-shaped dish
and set it on top of the goods, closing
the cover tightly. Don't open for sew
eral days. In week or ten days later
q second fumigation, may take place.
The carbon bisulphide vapor~is fatal to
insect life, but as its effect on the eggs
is not quite so certain two or three
such fumigations during the summer
are advised. The carbon bisulphide
vapor is heavier than air, will pene-
trate everything in the box, and is not
injurious to garments. It is explosive
and no artificial light or matches
should be used near it. It may be
purchased of druggists in pint cans.
Camphor, napthaline, moth balls and
cedar wood are only repellants. They
do not destroy insects nor eggs.
Closets, attics and other out of the
way places are prolific breeding places
Of moths. Clothing subject to attack
by moths should never be stored in
them.

Green Cabbage Worms.

A farmer at st. Vincent wrote to
the Extension Division for a remedy
for the Green Cabbage Worm. The
Entomologist of the Experiment Sta
ton suggests the following:
Paris green or arsenate Of lead in
water during the season as frequently
as occasion demands on cabbages.
Cabbages can be sprayed with any
arsenical up to within a few weeks Of
gathering. They are not easily in
jured by Paris green, and some grow
ers use it as strong as 3 pounds in so
gallons Of water. Arsenate of lead
could be used the same strength with
perfect safety, and it has the advan-
tage over Paris green of sticking long
er on the leaf.
A quart of soft soap, or eight quarts
OF strong soap-suds should be used in
every 50 gallons Of liquid to insure
it's spreading over the leaf.
Hand picking of the green worms
can be resorted to, and it is worth
while to pay children a little bit to
kill the white butterflies lowering over
the fields of cabbages and caulifowers.
The females of these butterflies lay
the eggs which produce the green cab
bage worm.
Experiments have shown that it is
perfectly safe to use Paris green on
cabbage up to within two weeks of
gathering.
