Protection Against Mosquitoes and Flies.

Quassla water is, according to cores
pondent OF Nature, protection to peach
trees against insect blight The first wear
the trees bore well and the new wood was
elbow length or more. next tried quassia
in the winery. Instead of me-washing the
walls to get nd Of the green ty, one water
ing with quasaia dismissed them in a dav.
My head gardener, who had previously much
experience III nursery grounds. wondered
that he had never heard of it before. He
now uses it in all cases as protection from
flies and blight. The dilution goes long
way: One pound Of chips Of quassia wood
boiled and reboiled in other water until he
has eight gallons Of the extract for his gar
den engine. He finds il nadyisable to use
it stronger for some plants. This boiling
makes the quassia adhesive, and heing prin-
cipally applied to the under-leaf, because
most blight settles there, it is not readily
washed off by rain.
Quassia is used in medicine as a powerful
tcnic, and the chips are sold BY chemists at
from sixpence 10 shilling pound, The
tree is indigenous to the West Indies and TO
South America.
And now as to gnats and mosquitoes.
young friend of mine, severely bitten by
mosquitoes and unwilling TO be seen so dis
figured, sent for quassia chips and had boil
ing water poured upon them. At night,
after washing, she dipped her hands into the
quassia water and left it to dry on her face
This was perfect protection, and continued
to be so whenever applied.
At the approach Of winter, when flies and
gnats get into houses and sometimes bite
yenomously, grandchild ,of mine, eig ghteen
months old, was thus attacked. / gave the
nurse some of my weak solution of quassia
TO be left to dry on his face, and he was not
bitten again. 1t is innocuous to children,
and 1t may be protection also against bed
insects. which have not had the opportu-
nifty of trying. When the solution OF quas-
sia is strong it is well known to be an active
fly poison, and Is mixed with sugar to at
tract nies, but this is not strong enough to
kill at once.
