Controlling Household Insects 
The following article is reprinted in 
response to many inquiries: 
House ants—red and black—are com¬ 
mon pests. If the colonies of ants can be 
located, the usual treatment is to pour 
a tablespoon fill of carbon bisulphude into 
the ant hill. The active work of destroy¬ 
ing the ants is done by the fumes con¬ 
tained in the solution. These fumes are 
heavier than air, and have a tendency to 
Rottle down. By pressing the earth of the 
hill with the heel of one’s shoe the fumes 
are kept in longer than if no pressure is 
applied to the otherwise loose formation. 
Carbon bisulphide is used frequently in 
the extermination of insects in the house. 
It is inflammable, and while using the 
solution no tire should be burning in the 
house, nor should there be any smoking 
near it while it is being applied. 
When ant hills cannot be located, tartar 
emetic—three grains to four tablespoon- 
fnls of any sweetening agent—is the best 
standard remedy. Mix the material thor¬ 
oughly and smear over china, glassware, 
small bits of wood, and any convenient 
surface, and place on shelves where ants 
frequent. The ants carry the substance 
to their young, and often the pest will be 
destroyed in as short a time as three 
days. The tartar emetic should be 
weighed out in exact doses of three grains, 
for larger amounts somehow repel ants. 
Cockroaches are controlled by the use 
of one part of sodium fluorid to one part 
of flour, or sodium fluorid may be used 
straight. Scatter about baseboards, sinks 
and places frequented by cockroaches. 
This insect, though a dirty pest, keeps its 
feelers clean. In cleaning their feelers 
they may eat some of the poison and are 
killed. Cockroaches are in class with 
the fox and the crow. 
Cloth moths are a serious pest in 
Oregon, because the climate favors their 
existence. The following treatment is 
recommended for valuable furs and wool¬ 
ens: Hang the article out in the bright 
sunshine for half a day. Then beat the 
garment thoroughly and place it in a well- 
made, durable pasteboard box or carton. 
Seal the open joints carefully with 
adhesive paper tape. This will keep the 
articles in good shape as long as the seals 
are not broken and the packages remain 
entirely closed. Should the goods that 
are attacked by cloth ninths be part of a 
room's furnishings, such as curtains and 
rugs, get two pounds of naphthalene 
flakes and scatter under the rug and 
around the baseboard, preferably when 
the temperature is GO degrees Fahrenheit 
or over. Close the room up for 2-t hours. 
Then beat the rugs and sweep up the 
naphthalene for future use. The flake 
form of naphthalene is faster working 
than the same in bnlls. By scattering the 
flakes in bureau drawers the moths are 
repelled.

Possible Cholera 
Lac.t year about this time my hens sud¬ 
denly lost their appetite, shrunk 75 per 
cent'in laying in four days, and eggs laid 
were mostly very thin-shelled, and their 
droppings were gi'een and yellow ami thin. 
I laid this- trouble to feeding a pint can 
of spoiled sweet corn. 1 lost about 1- 
per cent of my flock and over a mouth of 
their laying. I doctored as best T could 
with various things, but am hot sure it 
did any good. Some of the hens that re¬ 
covered were never any good as layers 
after. They were in six pens, and all 
lost their appetites at once. This xveek I 
notice in two pens especially their drop¬ 
pings are green and yellow, their appe¬ 
tites poor, laying drop of 75 per cent in 
four days, many thin-shelled eggs. An¬ 
other thing which was the same last year 
is that a great many are going broody. 
Their appetites are getting poor. This 
recurrence, at about the same time of year 
makes me be Li eve it is not directly caused 
hy wrong feed. H. M. H. 
The trouble you describe is apparently 
one of cholera-like nature, though it. is 
doubtful if it is true cholera. A thin, 
watery gve^n and yellow diarrhoea, both 
colors being bright, is characteristic of 
cholera, but this disease is fatal and 
soiwxvhat rare. There are other intestinal 
diseases that resemble it. however, though 
caused by different organisms and less 
severe. It is unite likely that the disease 
was carried over in your flock by some 
bird. Or birds, that harbored the disease- 
producing organisms, ur.d that the pullets, 
not. having been rendered comparatively 
immune by previous attacks, suffered the 
most. Diseases of this nature are mark¬ 
edly communicable, and they are to be 
combated only by getting rid of the sick 
and those that, while they may not show 
marked symtoms, or may have recovered 
from an attack, are "carriers" of the 
germs. Having rid the flock of possible 
sources of Contagion, the next thing to 
do is to rid the premises of the germs 
that have been d ! stributed iu the dis¬ 
charges of the sic fowls. This latter is 
done by thorough cleanirg and disinfec¬ 
tion of quarters and utensils. Quarters 
should he made as dean as broom and 
hoe can make them, then disinfected by 
spraying with a coal-tar disinfectant and 
whitewashing. Utensils can be disin¬ 
fected with boiling water. As some of 
these disease-producing organisms are 
very resistant, thorough mess is essential, 
and pains must be taken to see that in¬ 
fection is not reintroduced by some sick 
or only partially cured bird, or by the in¬ 
troduction of the disease from some other 
flock. Treatment of the individual birds 
is uot practicable cr xvise. u. B. d.
