THE MosouITo A HOME BODY

THE MOSQUITO HOME BODY.
The secret Of success of individual or
communal warfare on the mosquito lies
in the scientifically proved fact that the
mosquito invariably lives. buzzes and
bites very near the place of its birth, un-
less, of course, j, is carried away by a
strong wind. q should say, the place
of her birth, for only the female sucks
blood; the male is a strict vegetarian.)
Therefore, IN order to wage a successful
war of determination ON the mosquito.
it is necessary only to discover the breed
ing place or places-always standing or
stagnant watcr-and to remove them en-
tirely either by draining and then filling
in the dcpressions, or, if that is impos-
siblc, or imprscticablc, by coating the sur
face of the water with kerosene.
Right here let it be known that the
search for stagnant water must be thor
ough, If relief from mosquitoes is to be
obtained. They breed in the most unsus-
pected places-in old tin cans, rain7hlled
hollows Of trees well up from the ground,
erotehcs of trees and hollow stumps,
broken bottles, hidden by grass or top
ping stone walls as ornament; pitchers
of the pitcher plant, closed sewers, the
female entering and leaving through the
perforated traps; flower vases in which
the water is not changed daily, jars OF
water insulating the legs of rcfrigerators,
roof leaders that arc not properly graded.
Obvious breeding places are uncovered
rain-water barrels, open cisterns and
wells, the pits of outdoor water closets,
ground dcprcssions, unused household
water reccptacles, still water along the
edges of streams, pools formed by under
brush, pools fed by springs, water along
the edges of swamps and in the swansps,
watering troughs infrequcntly used, and
the pools formed underneath by drip
pings.
In brief, the varieties of mosquito that
give the greatest trouble-barring the
salt water gcnus-will breed anywhere in
anything holding standing or stagnant
water. These varieties are the culex pun
gems, or inland mosquito, the most COM
mon of all the two hundred odd species /;
the stegomyia,. or yellow fever bearing
mosquito. which is found pretty generally

these the female anopheles delights to de-
post her eggs.
Among the very few bodies of water
about a house that can not conveniently
be treated with kerosene are cisterns.
These, however, as well as open wells,
can be screened, and in this way kept
from the mosquito. If you are averse to
putting oil on the water in rain water
barrels, fit them with tight covers, with
screened holes in the center for air, and
draw out the water from the bottom by
means Of n spigot.
There is no need to put oil in wa
tering trough in daily use. The animals
noses. if nothing else, keep the water well
stirred up. and it is an entomologically
proved fact that if standing water. in
which there are mosquito larvx. is stirred
