Here is a sure, not too hard, cure. Get, fresh from the butcher shop, a couple of pounds of beef liver (fresh meat) and cut into pieces two and one-half or three inches long by one inch thick. Work into this liver with a knife about one-quarter ounce of either arsenic or Paris green to the pieces. The latter is best, and hang up out of the reach of cats and dogs, by a wire, somewhere around the apiary, or near the honey-house. The yellow jackets do the rest, and, as a rule here, do not bother for a couple of years; then another dose. It seems to clean out both the flying and embryo jackets, as they are meat eaters and will work for nearly a week on one baiting. CHAS. F. SCHNACK, Escondido, Calif. Paste to Stick Labels to Tin or Glass The following formula by W. C. Raymond, in Gleanings, will do it: Half an ounce of silicate of soda (or, rather, common water glass), 1 ounce coin starch, \l/2 pints of water. Add the starch and silicate of soda to the water and stir till uniform; then place the dish in another vessel of water and heat till the starch is gelatinous. LEROY FLOYD, Caywood, N. Y. UNITED STATE
