MISCELLANEOUS HINTS 75 



WASP AND BEE STINGS 



Apply a poultice of saleratus water and flour, or 

 rub the place where stung with a little strong 

 ammonia, which is a very effective cure. 



WEED KILLERS 



Handweed, and then on a dry day in spring time 

 dress the walks with salt. One of the most efficacious 

 and simplest ways is by pouring boiling (scalding) 

 water over the paths, which kills any insects that may 

 be about. 



WOOD LABELS, TO WRITE ON 



Wipe them over with a rag moistened with 

 thick white paint, rubbing it in well, and leaving 

 very little on. Write on them while still wet, 

 and the writing will last as long as the wood.
