KILLING OFF MOSQUITOES.

Drainage and Stocking Ponds with Fish
VIII Do Much to Destroy Them.
A distinguished scientist has been tell
ing his brethren how he disposed of the
mosquito plague about his dwelling.
"On the 5th of July" he says, II no
ticed for the first time II few mosquitoes
on the porch OF my cottage on Onteora
mountain, near Farmersville. Green
county, n. Y. The elevation of this cot
tage is about 2 800 feet, and mosquitoes
have hitherto been rare visitors. The
month of June, however, was very wet,
and as | had noticed several pools of
surface water in the immediate vicinity
the presence of these mosquitoes caused
me some anxiety. as | feared that they
would continue to breed through the
summer and prove a serious annoyance
later in the summer.
Zone of the surface pools mentioned
was situated upon my own grounds, and
upon first noticing the mosquitoes |
walked out to this spot. 1t was about
dusk and dozen or more female mos
quitoes were found buzzing about the
surface of the water. | Immediately
sprinkled four ounces of coal oil upon
the surface of the pond. Upon the fol-
lowing day carefully measured the lit
tie pool and found that it contained sixty
square feet.
From day to day until the 18th OBJ
servations were made. Some transforms
occurred on the Sth and 10th of the
month. and after the LIST of July the pool
lost the CLASSY, iridescent surface effect
given by the almost continuous and in
fnitesimally thin layer of kerosene.
Nevertheless the insecticidal effect of
the latter did not seem to diminish, al
though | could not perceive any coal oil
odor. Many dead insects were found
floating upon the surface of the water
the next morning after the application,
and these increased rapidly. The pool
which on the evening of the 5th had
been teeming with animal life contained
no living insects during the following
ten days. The tenth day after the ap-
plication of the kerosene careful count
of the dead insects floating upon the
surface of the water showed that there
were $40 mosquitoes, besides many
moths and other insects"
The scientist who made this discov-
cry believes that with the drainage Of
swamp lands, the introduction Of fish
into ponds where they are not found,
and by carefully watching tanks and
rainwater barrels and treating them
with oil before the female has a chance
to lay her eggs, the mosquito nuisance
may be greatly lessened.-New York

Floral Hall Prize Winners.

Ms. Stewart Fleming took the
largest number of premiums in the
Foral Hall and will receive the $50
stove which was offered for the leader
in this department at the Fair. This
is is not the first time Mrs. Fleming
has distanced all competitors. She
secured thirty-four premiCms this
year. Mrs. w. S. Fleming came
next in the number of premiums and
Miss Minnie Bently third. There
were a number of ladies next in the
list who were very near each other
in the number of their exhibits, and
the value received was not strictly
governed by the numker of premi-
Hms. Some ladies received more
prize money than others who took a
larger number of premiums.
There were more articles entered
this year, by something over a hun
dred, than there were last year, but
the Hall was not so snowy, because
only two or three merchants made
any display this time, whereas in
years they have been in the habit OF
occupying the larger part of the hall
space.
