 The mosquito is hatchcd in water that has become stagnant by stagdigg in in cans, 'oucket tops, tubs, or other place for 2 few days. These mosquitOes are the cause of mataria spi eading from one member of family to another CT to neighbors.

Since they al ways breed on filth they can be elimi hated by abating the filth and allowing nothing of the kind about the place If we do this we will have no house flies.

A great many places are too nice for him to stay very long at one time, but no place is too dirty and filthy for him to live and enjoy life.
 Flies delight in the kitchen and dining room travelling over the food and depositing germs of all k nds Of disease thereon. In ten minutes the | fly may travel to the barn or water close, to the we'll, if there be one, and then to the dining room running over all cooked and uncocked foods all ddeposits thereon thousand gerrus.
