To take tea stains from white silk
stretch the stain part over basin,

To prevent the iron from sticking
when ironing starched things rub it
over with little wax Take any odd
pieces of candle you may have and tie
them up in square of white cotton
rag. If the iron is quickly rubbed
over with this there will be no danger
of sticking and the wax will help to
give the linen a good gloss.
Wet boots or shoes which have been
worn in wet weather and are thor
oughly soaked should be carefully
dried, to prevent the leather from
hardening or cracking. On removing
shoes wipe off all the wet or mud
with soft cloth, and while still wet
run with paraffin oil, using the woolly
side of flannel. When partly dry
rub them again with paraffin, and put
them in warm place.

Palisade Avenue Improvement
For the surface of Palisade avenue,
$4,000 had been set aside for it's re-
newal. Oiling would begin in a week
or two, too. Care should be used to
see that there was no conflict. En-
Gineer McClave reported that County
1,oad Commissioner Thayer would be
in the borough this week to represent
the county and state interest in the
matter; So all in all, with the tarvia
reinforcement and the oiling, an ideal
strip of road on Palisade avenue from
the Hudson boulevard north to Gorge
road and Anderson avenue would be
the result.

"Palisadian" reporter was a witness
this week to performance by two
boys who did this trick successfully.
One o. these days, however, a small
boy who takes his life in his hands
in this dangerous fashion is going
to have his attention called to some
thing else at the moment of his run
ming across the track, and biff! slam!
bang! trolley has stopped to pick up
a mangled form, and flowers will be
ordered. Parents who read this

below. In the case of the experiments at
the Maryland Agricultural College a care
full count showed that between July rs
and October / about 10000 larvae were
killed in this way.
This, however, does not include the
number that were picked up from the
basin by sparrows or poultry. Altogether
1t is estimated that during the warm
weather the efficiency of the trap was
probably 80 per cent. Later, when the
temperature was lower, the traps success
was not so marked. This was accounted
for by the fact that when the air is much
colder than the manure heap the larvae
will not attempt to leave the heap and
therefore will not fall into the basin.
Another difficulty experienced arose
from mosquitoes using the water in the
basin and the cistern to breed In. This
was overcome by cleaning out the basin
at regular intervals and by s~prinkling a
little oil over the surface of the water in
the cistern.
Properly constructed, such a trap offers
no obstacles to the convenient and eco
nomical handling Of manure. It is essen
tial, however, that each days addition to
the heap should be sprinkled with suffi-
Gent water to keep the manure moist,
but not enough to cause teaching.
The details of the construction Of the
trap are contained in the bulletin already
mentioned. This particular trap was de-
signed to hold the manure produced by
three horses for three months, but there
is no reason why larger quantities should
not be treated in the same way, by build
ing larger traps or by building several
Of smaller size.

Cold Storage Holdings Of
Apples Less Than in 1913


A CCORDING to a statement Just is
"A sued by the office of markets and
rural organization, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. it would appear that
the cold storage holdings Of apples in the
states on April / were 1876 per cent less
than two years ago, although the supply
In 1928 was less than this year. The
estimate Is based upon the reports of 1875
firms for April l, 1915, and April /, 1918.
Two hundred and sixteen firms reported
their apple holdings for December /, jan
uary I, February 1, March I, and April 1.
According to the statement of the office,
the progress of movement from these
storages during the season, estimated
upon the basis Of total holdings, Deem
Der /, was 1917 per cent in December.
III per cent in January, 21.9 per cent
in February and 24.1 per cent In March.
Analysing the movement separately for
boxes and barrels, 1t Is found that up to
April /, 1873 per cent of barreled apples
and 68 per cent of boxed apples were
marketed. The total decrease since De-
cember / appears to have been 1913 per
cent, or in other words, there remained
on April 1 to be marketed 26.2 per cent
of the total quantity Of apples placed in
the coolers last Fall.
