 The Plague of Ants.
 while ago l received a letter from d troubled housekeeper asking me what she could do to keep aunts out of her kitchen and pantry" While l had no suggestions looking to the annihilation of "aunts" I was glad to be able to tell her how she could rout an army of predatory black ants. Once a house is completely overrun with the black ant colony it takes anywhere from ten days to two weeks steady work to drive item out. The black ant thrives m cool damp weather, punctuated by days of fervent heat. When they come in colonies they not only destroy food but furniture, and the very house itself. If the haunts of the paving ant can be located, the first thing to do is 10 fill their hills with boiling water followed by q generous flushing Of coal oil An other remedy is to put quick lime near the mouth of the hole. then wash it in with boiling water. Cayenne is one of the strong odors that ants dislike. and generous sprinkling over the pantry shelves after they have first been well scald- ed and dried will .r much to keep them out This remedy may have to be repeated often. both on the shelves and the window sills across which they make their entry Other remedies advocated for their disper- ! sal are leaves of green wor1nwood i scattered here and there, salt or | srcng solution of London purple.

 To Drive Out Bedbugs.
