Good Root Beer.

For the benefit of your correspondents
who wish to know how to make good root
beer send my recipe make 1t all the year
round for my family. For each quart of
warm water allow two %saped tablespoons
OF sugar, add the extract in the proportion
OF small Tablespoonful to five quarts and
half cake Of compressed yeast dissolved
in warm water. Bottle through a strainer
and stand in pan of warm water or in the
sun for twenty-four hours. q usually allow
thirty-six) Then cool in the ice box. The
shoppers OF the bottles must be kept tight
by putting in strips Of rubber when they
loosen The directions on the bottles of ex-
tract call for too small quantity Of yeast.
Failure may result, as with bread, from the
water in which the yeast is dissolved being
hot instead Of warm. sI sent to the Corner
some time ago an offer from. my husband
Of iris bulbs. Of which he has many varie-
ties. This is the time to put them in the
ground. L. J. p"
This recipe will be welcomed by the lovers
OF root beer. and am glad to be able TO
supply the correspondents who have asked
for the directions. The flower lovers will
note the advice about the bulbs.

mend J. G. W."
Personally know of nothing better than
a sirup Of sugar and water to which has
been added a little tartar emetic, put into
saucers on the pantry shelves or anywhere
else that the ants may gather. They will
eat the mixture greedily and it proves
fatal. Be careful to put the saucers where
children are not likely to get at them.
Let me say in connection with this plague
or ants that you cannot hope to get rid
OF them as long as they have any food to
encourage them Crumbs, drippings from
dishes, anything Of this sort will attract
them and you must be vigorously careful to
keep all food out Of their reach, even IL
you have to set the feet Of your safe and
table into pans of water to guard them from
the attacks Of the enemy.
