MOSQUITOES
No fewer than sixty species of
mosquitoes are known to occur in
'Canada, and a considerable 'pro-por-
av,). elf 'them attack warm-blooded an-
imals and men. In various parts of
the Dominion different species are
dominant and as the duration of 'the
life -stages, the habits and breeding
places vary considerably, it is of im-
porrance in outlining conte"ol meas-
ures to know the species involved,
Some species may migrate several
miles, others remain in the vicinity of
',their breeding pools. Some mosquit-
oes inhabit open prairies and others
do not venture from 'the .shelter of
the deep woods. Same are persistent
in entering houses and others are ne-
ver found indoors. Sonnebite in the
daytime and other: at night.
The most common species belong
to the ,genus "aeries" and have only
bite generation each year, They breed
largely tin temporary bodies of waster
such as snow and rain. pools and riv-

horse, it should be dome gradually;

Morse should never be struck when
he is tied in his stall. There is ono
other case besides that of a 'ba@king
animal in which a whip should Inver
be used, and that iS when yen are
drivin4 with a Mose rein. More
horses fall from Lhaa cause than from
any other.
You aboald never strike a horse
without first speaking to him or 'with-
out first drawing the reins tight. Ii
a horse traveling under loose reins is
sudden'iy struck by the whip, he is
store to jump and often to make a
misstep that will bring hint to his
knees. d0nr the same reason he shntild
never 'be started with the whip; nor,
unless it is impossible. to do othet•-
'5-100, should he be pulled too sudden-
ly to a standstill.
The things just mentioned are
faults by which careless or ignorant
drivers spoil or injure horses, :But
they are mistakes rather than inten-
tional cruelties, and a boy who loves
horses twill keep in mind -what they
are and avoid then'.
