Hints for Mosquito determination.

Put fine netting or wire screens
over all water barrels, cisterns,
wells and tanks of water in every.
day use.
Treat all catch basins or other
sewer openings which contain
standing water with petroleum
every two weeks and after rains.
Places in which it is undesirable
to put oil, such as watering trOughs
for stock, lily-ponds, etc, can be
kept free of the wrigglers by put
ting in small sunfsh, pumpkin
seed) top minnows or gold fish,
but the edges Of the water must be
deep, so that the fish can get at
the eggs and laryee.
See that the plumbing about the
place is in perfect order. Prevent
leakage of pipes or clogging of
caves. Inspect all cesspools and
that the covers are absolutely tight
and vents screened.
First do away with or treat all
places where mosquitoes are known
to breed, and then begin work on.
places where they might breed.
Clean away all weeds, grass ahds
bushes about bitches, ponds and
other possible breeding.places,
these afford hiding places for the
adult mosquitoes. Clean up va
can't lots and back yards and keep
lawns cut.
Kill mosquitoes which get indoors
by fumigation with sulpher, form
aldehyde or insect powder. The
insects will fall to the floor, and
should be collected and burned.
Pyrethrum powder will stupefy
them, and even when burned out
doors its smoke will keep mosqui-
tos away from the vicinity. Par
ticularly get rid of them in the
late fall or winter, for the malaria
carriers often hibernate in house.
cellers, ready to produce broods in
the spring.
AS a citizen OF your community
you should feel personal respon-
sibility for the destruction of the
mosquitoes in your district, and
seek to cooperate with your neigh
bors in the work of doing away
with breeding places. Relief in
any community depends entirely
upon the cooperation of the mem
bers of the community and the
public authorities. IA. B. G. bull
