Moths in Furniture.
There are two species of moths which in
fest furniture. One is a largo - fly of silvery
white color ; the worm of the same is shap
ed like a chestnut worm, and is familiarly
known. It rarely infests furniture. The
other is a small fly of a dark drab color; the
worm is about one-fourth of an inch long,
and tapering from the head to the tail. It
was first observed by upholsterers abOut
thirteen years ago. This fly penetrates a
sofa or chair, generally between the back
and seats of the sofas, or under the seats,
where the vacancy among the springs af
fords a safe retreat. It n.ay make a lodg
ment in one week after the furniture is
placed in the house. If such should be
the case, in two months the worm will ap
pear; and the continual process of procre
ation in a few months increases the num
ber to thousands. This moth has no sea
son. It' destroys in winter and summer
alike, and it is kept in active life by the con
stant heat of the house. We find at the
same time, in the same piece of furniture,
the fly worm, and the eggs; thus showimg
that they are breeding and destroying all
the time. It does not eat pure curled hair,
but fastens its cocoon to it, the elasticity of
which prevents its being disturbed. The
inside of furniture'is used by it only for
the purposes of propagation. The worm
when ready for food crawls out and de
stroys the covering, if of woolen or plush
material; and falling to the carpet destroys
it. It rarely cuts through plush from the
inside, as it is of cotton back, but there
are instances wuere the worms have cut up
muslin on the outside back of sofas. There
is uo protection against them but continual
care. New furniture should be removed
from the wall at least twice a week at thi;
season of the year, and should be well
whisked all round, and particularly under
the seats, to prevent the fly from lodging.
This is an effectual preventive and the only
one known. Cayenne pepper, Scotch snuff
camphor, turpentine, and all other reme
dies for protection from the large moth are
of little or no avail against the furniture
moths. Saturation with alchohol will not
destroy them when in a piece of furniture.
If the furniture is infested, they may be
removed by taking off the muslin from un
der the seats and off the outside ends and
backs, whore they congregate most, and ex
posing to the air as much as possible.
Beat well with a whisk or the open hand,
and kill all the flies and worms which
show themselves. This done often will dis
turb them, and may make them have the
furniture, in their desire to be left in quiet.
When the furniture is free from moths and
is to be left during the summer months
without attention, it may be protected by
camphor in small bags of highly concentra
ted patchouli. The safest way is to have
the furniture well whisked twice a week.
If the moths attack the carpet, which they
will first do under the sofas and chairs,
spread a wet sheet on the carpet and pass a
hot flat iron over it quickly; the steam will
effectually destroy both worms and eggs.
If furniture is delivered in a dwelling free
from moths, the upholsterer's responsibility
end" — ".7M7r .— "l - 1•43 an a res s
keeper, as no tradesman can tell whether
the moth will attack it or not. There are
cases where the furniture has been in use
ten or twelve years before attacked. It
would be as fair to hold the tailor respon
sible for the safety of clothing from moths
as to hold the upholsterer responsible for
the safety of furniture.—Scientific Amer

The Farmer His Own Master,
If nothing else serves to render a far
mer contented with his occupation, this
should ; he is his own master, The farmer,
almost alone of the whole army of working
men, can say this with any sort of propri
eq." The march of improvement, as it is
called, during the past thirty years reduced
every mechanic to the position ;ifs servant,
a person who does the bidding of his master.
But the farmer, beitis acres — few or many,
is his own master and director of his ener
gies; more than the mechanic, more than
any professional man, he is at liberty to
gratify his peculiar tastes and to carry out
his own plans. He is allowed u wide
choice of occupations while being a farmer;
and without any serious break can change
from stock-raising to grain growing, from
bee keeping to vine dressing; and then, if
the change is found not pleasant or not
profitable, can in his middle life go back to
the one which he began. So, too, there is
no business in which the young man of en
ergy can so easily engage on his own ac
count. Even if he rents a farm he is vastly
more independent than the mechanic who
works all his life for an employer. But
with a homestead to be had almost for the
asking, there is no need of this. lie can
become the possessor of a home and farm
that a patriarch might covet, and thence
forth be among the most independent of
men.
Dissolving Bones,
The following is an English process, and
the fertilizer produced is said by the orig
inator, Lord Pusey, to be in every respect
equal to the superphosphate made by the
ordinary process. We do not vouch for
the statements made, but give the recipe
for trial:
"Collect the bones and break them up as
well as you can with a sledgehammer or an
axe. Place them in a barrel sufficiently
tight to hold liquids, depositing a little at
a time, and mixing in with them asyou go,
dried, finely pulverized swamp muck—
enough to fill all the spaces between the
bones, say one part of muck to four parts
of bones. Cover the top with a six or
eight inch layer of muck alone, after which
pour ou the urine of the premises from
day to day, keeping the mass moist. In
trom four to six weeks the bones will be
entirely dissolved, and ready for application
to the soil. The muck mixed is said to aid
in the decomposition of the bones, and the
thick mass of muck at the top is to act as
a deodorizer, and to prevent the escape of
Ammonia. If there is still an escape, as
shown by the smell arising, it may be stop
ped by throwing on a little more fresh
muck."
