Exterminating Ants.
Ahts are a pest and otee they get
in the garden and house it is difficult
to get rid of them.
Ants always invade the pantry and
kitchen. Attraction in the way of
food and food preparation exists for
them. 1
Ants dislike moisture, and the fre-
quent and liberal use of soapy water '
upon woodwork, window sills, door
frames, mid so forth, svill do much to
keep the pest at bay,
When 'ants have established them-
selves, however, strong measures must
be taken against therm
One that is effective is the use of
keresene. This is, in many ways, ob-
jectionable inside the house, especially
where there is food to bmome tainted;
the penetrating odor of this kerosene
is not a pleasant thing to have around
the pantry. Still it is a killer and a
certain banisher where ants STA con-
cerned.
Turpentine is another good thing to
put on pantry shelves, for no insect
ean live through it. Frequent appli-
cations by means of a paint brush
upon any part of the house that is
attaeked by ants will prove efficacious
in keeping them away.
Close up all cracks in floors if your
house be old, for in jest such dry
spots they breed, and the most im-
portant point to be mated is that the
ant seeks something in it state of ery
rot to build its neet, So kill the eggs
