Lime-sulphur Barrels for Cider 
Can empty lime-sulphur barrels be used 
for cider? It is almost impossible to buy 
cider barrels, and if the lime-sulphur 
could be cleaned out so that we could use 
them for cider, it would help. We will 
have many bushels of drop and cull ap¬ 
ples. How many can be used safely for 
horse and cow feed? r. a. y. 
Rockland Co., N. Y. 
We would not attempt to use the'lime- 
sulphur barrels for cider. It is doubtful 
if they can be cleaned. The usual way 
to clean barrels is to take out the head 
and scald the inside with hot lye. Then 
put the barrel over a steam jet and thor¬ 
oughly cook the inside for half an hour. 
We have had questions about barrels 
which have held tar, oil. denatured alco¬ 
hol or lime-sulphur. We doubt if any of 
them can be made fit for cider. The ap¬ 
ples may safely be fed to all kinds of 
stock by starting with a quart or two 
at a time, and slowly increasing the quan¬ 
tity. It would injure a cow to start feed¬ 
ing heavily, but by gradually increasing 
you can safely work up to a peek or more 
at a feed. 
Cleaning Flour Sacks 
Can you suggest a successful method 
that will remove paint printed on flour 
bags? I have tried many ways, but have 
always been unsuccessful. These bags 
contain one yard of the very best un¬ 
bleached muslin, and can be bought at 
almost any of the bakers’ shops for 10 
to 15 cents each. They are splendid for 
kitchen use and use on dairy farms, and 
reduce the high cost of cloth. 
New York. MRS. d. e. g. 
We have had several statements about 
this from farm women who make good 
A Barrel Fly-trap 
use of these bags. The following was 
printed some years ago, and is as good 
as any: 
I make them into pillow cases and 
kitchen towels. I soak them first in 
kerosene for one or two nights, then soak 
them in the water left from washing two 
or three times. Then I get a can of 
chloride of lime and make Javelle water 
(directions on can) and put this in the 
washtub half fnD of water and soak bags 
in this for an fcsur (one can of lime is 
enough for two dozen sacks'). Take a 
stick and lift them out of this, put into 
the washboiler (do not wring them) put 
soap in and then boil. Rinse well after 
rubbing them. Y'ou will now have sacks 
as white as snow, and not a mark left. 
A Big Fly Trap 
The article telling about the dangerous 
Japanese beetle, pages 1G97 and 172S, has 
produced a profound impression on me. 
For several years I have been trapping 
flies, also some moths, including codling 
motlis, out of doors. First I used old 
sugar barrels. Later I used oil barrels. 
I took tlie ends out, hammering the hoops 
down, so as to make a tight barrel. Thou 
I went to hardware store and purchased 
enough wire screen to make a cover for 
the top of the barrel and inverted funnel 
in the bottom of the barrel. To make 
the funnel I found the diameter of the 
barrel, and using it as the radius I made 
a half circle pattern on the wire. When 
cut out and folded I had funnel that could 
be easily tacked onto the edges. I put 
the edges of the funnel together with 
large pins. 
When this wire funnel was tacked into 
the barrel we set it in a favorable spot 
on throe bricks, put some tempting bait 
under it and let it do its work. My first 
catch was so much that when fed to the 
chickens (50 in flock) they could not eat 
them all in 10 minutes. This is a great 
way to catch flies. Possibly it would 
work to catch some of those beetles; 
nothing like trying, geo. c. kieiim, jk.
