These multiplied by the generations

our efforts to destroy their breeding
places. Should we fail in our efforts
we will be annoyed by their buzzing
and by their biting and by an in-
crease of malaria fever, and should
yellow fever ‘be introduced to our
sores it would make for a serious epi-
deme. ow ud ch
The battle must begin at once. If
we have to use rain barrels for our
water supply, they should be care
fully netted so that the mosquito can-
not reach the water and lay its eggs.
If fresh pools exist about our places
they should be filled up or drains be
laid to carry away the rain water and
not permit it to collect and become
stagnant. If our swamps are too large
to 'drain and fill up they should be
treated with petroleum, so that the
oil will prevent the larva of the mos-
quito from reaching the atmosphere
to breed. It will then drown for the
want ‘of oxygen. ’ h
In country places ducks, particu-
larly mallards, will do much to keep
down mosquito pests, as they are very
fond of the larva and pupa.
Tomato cans, sardine boxes, broken
cups—any vessel that will hold rain
water will afford favorable breeding
places’ for mosquitoes. One tomato
can half full of water will be suffi-
cient for the rearing of thousands
of mosquitoes.
The saucers under the flower pots
in and around our houses offer favor-
able breeding places. Water ves-
sels that are set out for birds
and animals are often found full of
mosquito arvae. Thereore such re-
ceptacles ought to have the water
changed daily, so as to destroy any
eggs that may be laid in them. Wa-
ter pitchers in rooms that are only
occasionally used have often been
found fertile breeding places and
where houses were well screened they
were filled with mosquitoes, owing
to the fact that may be one or two
female mosquitces had found access
to the water in these pitchers of a
spare chamber.

ALL HUNTING FOR PROFIT
IS PROHIBITED
For the information of sportsmen
throughout the state the Wild Life
Leagie of Pennsylvania gives the
following summary of the new game
code, ‘Known as House Bill, No. 119
which became a law last week.
The sct is considered the most ad-
vanced and comprehensive game pro-
tective legislation ever enacted in
this state, striking at the last vestige
of market hunting by forbidding the
sale of rabbits and squirrels killed in
the state and forbidding the ship-
ment of game except when accompa-
nied by the shipper. It forbids the
ownership, transfer, sale or transpor-
tation of ferrets except under license
which only be granted by the game
commission for good reasons.
It forbids the taking of bear in any
way except by the use of rifie or gun,
shooiing only one ball and forbids the
, trapping of bear in any way. It pre-
vents hunting for hire by making it
illegal for any man paid as a guide or
in any other way as a hunter to give,
sell or present game of any kind to
his emploeyr and similarly forbids
, the employer receiving game from
! such employe or guide. It fixes the
game season as follows:
Squirrels of all kinds,
woodcock
golian ring-neck or English pheas-
ant, blackbirds or Hungarian quail,
i October 15 to November 30 inclusive. |
Rabbit and hare Nov. 1 to Nov. 30.
