POISONED SIRUP GOOD
FOR DESTROYING ANTS
Greatest Precautions Should
Be Used With Bait.

Prepared BY the Uritsd States Department
of Agriculture)
An efficient remedy for household
ants, according to the bureau of en-
tomology Of the United States De
partment Of Agriculture, is sirup
poisoned with arsenate of soda, II 1t
can be used safely. The greatest pre-
cautions should be taken in preparing
this sirup and in safeguarding it
afterwards from human beings or do
nestle animals. Ants will carry the
mixture to their nests, so that not
only they. but the stay-at-homes are
reached by the poison.
The formula for the preparation of
the poisoned sirup is as follows: One
pound of sugar dissolved in quart OF
water, to which should be added 125
grains of arsenate of soda. The mix
ture should be boiled and strained,
and on cooling used ON sponges The
addition of small amount of honey
Is said to add to the attractiveness.
The first step-in the control Of ants
In the house Is the removal Of all at
tractive substances wherever prac-
teal. Ants like sweet. starchy food
materials especially cake. bread.
sugar, preserves. sirups, and even
meat. By cleaning up promptly all
food crumbs scattered by children,
keeping all shelves and corners clean,
and storing food supplies in ant-proof
glass or tin containers. or in tightly
| oil hA NJ MN a,
be largely limited. Daily supplies only
Of foods likely to attract ants should
be purchased
Entomologists Of the department
have found that most of the repellents
considered effective, such as camphor
and naphthalene flakes or powdered
moth balls, are of little benefit. If the
nest Of the ants can be located by fol-
lowing the workers back to their
point of disappearance, a number Of
the ants in the nest may sometimes be
reached by injecting little disulphid
Of carbon, kerosene or gasoline into
the opening by means of an oil can
or small syringe. These substances
are inflammable and should never be
used near fire. II food and other con-
ditlons continue to attract ants and
favor their continued breeding in the
house, such control measures are of
only temporary avail.
The collection of ants by the use OF
attractive bats Is frequently recon-
mended, but unless the bait Is pol.
soned as previously described, 1t is of
doubtful benefit Small sponges
moistened with sweetened water will
attract many ants. The sponges can
be collected several times day, and
the ants swarming on them destroyed
by immersion in hot water. The use
Of sponges moistened with borax and
sugar dissolved In boiling water tc
poison the ants is also sometimes rec
commended, but has not been found
effective. The distribution of swee,
bats which do not actually kill the
ants often results in increasing theIl
numbers.

When Used as Vegetable
Celerioc Is Best Liked

Celeriac Is known also as "knot eel
cry" or "turnip-rooted celery" the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture states. The roots, which are
about the size Of white turnlp, and
not the stalks are eaten. They are
more often used as vegetable than
as a salad. Prepare the celeriac by
pairing and then cutting 1t into thin,
narrow slices or dice. Put into cold
water. Drain from this water and
drop into boiling water and boil thirty
minutes. Drain and rinse with cold
water. Make white sauce with one
tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoon
full Of -four. one-half teaspoonful of
salt, and one cupful of milk. When
smooth and well cooked add the
celeriac.
