DESTROYING ANTS.

Ants do little harm In the garden
or on the lawn. Their nests are un-
slightly and 1t may be desirable TO des-
troy them. Boiling water is the SIM
pie way to destroy them. The United
States Agricultural Department rec
ommends spraying the lawn with
Kerosene emulsion or with a strong
soap wash, prepared by dissolving
common laundry soap In water. one
pound to a gallon Of water. Hot
water alone will usually be found all
hat Is necessary.
For larger ant colonies bisulphide
Of carbon. q chemical which can be
purchased al any drug store, will be
found effective. This substance can
be placed in the nest by means Of an
oil can or small syringe. the quantity
required varying from one-half ounce
for a small mes. to two or three ounces
or more for Q large one. An oil can
with a long spout Ii a convenient
instrument. as L can be inserted into
the nests and the liquid injected with
out It being brought close to the
operators nose. for tho fumes Of
bisulphide Of carbon. although not
poisonous, are nauseating. To facil-
itate the entrance OF the chemical into
the nest the ant hole can be enlarged
with a sharp stick or iron rod. After
the bisulphide of carbon has been in
jected the opening should be closed by
pressure OF the foot in order to re-
tain tho bisulphide. This will pene-
trate slowly throughout the under
ground channels Of the nest and Kill
all the inmates. II is important to
remember that while bisulphide is
perfectly harmless If kept away from
all fire. II IL very inflammable and
may explode when ignited.

pickers therefore must be instructed
to pick only sound berries. II the
patches are picked over noe q day
1t II much easier to enforce this rule.
II they are left unpicked two or thres
days there will be such a large pro-
portion OF overripe berries hat some
of them will inevitably find their way
into the cups intended for long dis
lance shipments. A soft berry will
not only 500 break down and decay
itself. but by offering an opportunity
for mould to develop will contribute
to the decay Of the entire cup.
With the best Of care. however. the
weather must remain Q very impor-
tan factor in determining the success
OF shipments. During wet. rainy
periods the berries become soft. very
tender and full Of moisture. In this
condition they break down readily and
are not suitable for long shipments.
Careful handling. however. does not
stop with the careful picking and
sorting Of tho berries. They must be
protected from dust and heat on the
way 10 the refrigerator car and only
wagons with good springs should be
used for hauling them. Moreover. the
crates should never be tipped on end,
as In this way tho berries are bruised
and mashed by being rolled around in
the cups. Prompt cooling or loading
in order to get the berries under the
influence Of low temperatures as
quickly as possible 10 essential.
Preceding when done promptly with
berries hat are In good condition is
Of great service.
Eastern berry growers will fnd that
careful picking, marketing the berries
in the best possible condition. will In
crease their receipts very materially.
