Get the gum camphor; as soon as you can do without the furs, beat them, and put small pieces of camphor rolled in paper, in, and around them; sew them up tightly in linen, and keep in a cool place. Black pepper will not prevent the moths getting in, nor will it kill them.
TO WASH FLANNELS.
Wash them in clean suds as hot as you can bear the hands in; then in water of the same temperature, with a little soap in, but not so much as the first; rinse in hot water, and hang up immediately.
TO WASH WINDOWS.
Never put soap on the windows, but wash them off with a shammy, and then dry them with the same; if the shammy cannot be obtained, paper will answer, but it is not so good.
TO WASH BOTTLES BELONGING TO THE CASTOR.
Wash them well with water, with a little soap and soda in it, also some clean coarse sand or rice to get the marks out.
TO WASH CALICOES.
Wash out the grease spots before putting the dress in, as the spots cannot be seen after it is wet; wash them well through two suds; then rinse them, throwing a little salt in the water to set the colours; starch and hang them in the shade, as the sun will fade them. If the calico is black, make the starch water as blue as possible. Wash, and hang up quickly.
