Keeping the Mosquitoes Out.

Whether mosquitoes are the only
cause or carriers Of malaria Or not,
it is certain that those who keep free
from mosquitoes do escape from at
tacks of this diease For this reason,
as we'll as because Of the annoyance
which they cause, we should all do
our best to keep clear Of them. In
vestigatOrs have found that they will
breed in very small quantities of water
An old knot hole in a dead tree which
would not hold more than a pint OF
water was found swarm1ng with the
larvae Of the pestiferous insects. The
following is from the Southern Agrl-
culturist:
The time for producing mosquitoes
by the thousands is now at hand. The
farmer when he comes in from his
fields at evening is weary, and wants
rest, but the hungry mosquitoes will
not allow him a moments peace. Who
is to blame? Largely the farmer and
his family. 1t is not the springs of
running water that produce the mos
quito family, but the barrels at the
corner of the house, the old buckets
sitting in the back yard and the tin
cans scattered over the yard. Every
IdlI Ills lllOSC VCSSClo Will VAIL, a1lN
the next night from a dozen to fifty
mosquito eggs are deposited in each
of them. From these eggs, in ten
days, will come hundreds Of mosqui-
toes, to annoy the children and tor
ment the adults of that home.
Make it a rule to see that nothing
shall hold any water about the home
to harbor and breed wiggletails, ex-
cept the barrel that holds the soft
water for washing clothes. The wig
gletails and mature mosquitoes can be
killed in the barrel by pouring table
spoonful Of kerosene upon the water.
The oil will spread over top Of the
water in the barrel, and when the fe-
male lights upon the water to deposit
her dozens of eggs the oil will touch
her leggs and body, and she will pass
out OF existence The wiggletalls are
| bound to come to the surface to OBJ
tain fresh air, and the moment they
ascend to the top Of the water the
kerosene will close their breathing or
gans and they will die as quick as if
| they had been dosed with arsenic.
Heed this short talk and there will
be few mosquitoes to keep the family
from enjoying refreshing sleep.
