  "o. 
  See 
  that 
  jars 
  and 
  cans 
  are 
  a 
  little 
  below 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  

   ground 
  and 
  that 
  dry 
  dirt 
  is 
  kept 
  around 
  their 
  edges 
  and 
  also 
  around 
  

   the 
  edges 
  of 
  post-holes, 
  for 
  the 
  bugs 
  tumble 
  iii 
  more 
  rapidly 
  on 
  dry 
  

   loose 
  earth. 
  

  

  "4. 
  See 
  that 
  bugs 
  cannot 
  go 
  between 
  holes, 
  cans, 
  or 
  jars, 
  and 
  

   main 
  tar 
  line, 
  but 
  are 
  forced 
  to 
  fall 
  in 
  as 
  they 
  crowd 
  into 
  the 
  little 
  

   angles. 
  

  

  "5. 
  If 
  cans 
  or 
  jars 
  are 
  used, 
  fill 
  a 
  third 
  full 
  of 
  coal 
  oil 
  and 
  water 
  

   mixed 
  about 
  half 
  and 
  half. 
  Coal 
  oil 
  kills 
  the 
  bugs, 
  but 
  water 
  will 
  

   not. 
  

  

  "B. 
  Those 
  using 
  the 
  tar 
  say 
  that 
  they 
  freshen 
  the 
  lines 
  about 
  

   twice 
  or 
  thrice 
  per 
  day. 
  The 
  bugs 
  crawl 
  most 
  from 
  about 
  11a. 
  m. 
  

   to 
  4 
  p. 
  m. 
  : 
  if 
  the 
  sun 
  is 
  hot 
  they 
  crawl 
  earlier. 
  

  

  "'7. 
  If 
  you 
  have 
  not 
  time 
  to 
  make 
  post-holes 
  or 
  sink 
  cans, 
  you 
  can 
  

   dig 
  holes 
  two 
  or 
  three 
  inches 
  deep 
  along 
  the 
  lines 
  with 
  spade 
  or 
  hoe, 
  

   and 
  not 
  run 
  any 
  angles 
  from 
  them, 
  and 
  they 
  will 
  soon 
  fill 
  with 
  bugs. 
  

   Destroy 
  these 
  by 
  sprinkling 
  with 
  Coal 
  oil, 
  using 
  a 
  littU> 
  broom 
  or 
  

   brush 
  of 
  broom-straw 
  or 
  grass. 
  

  

  "8. 
  If 
  you 
  use 
  post-holes, 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  bugs 
  will 
  crawl 
  out 
  unless 
  

   you 
  cut 
  a 
  little 
  trench 
  around 
  the 
  hole 
  about 
  half 
  way 
  from 
  bottom 
  

   and 
  fill 
  trench 
  with 
  tar. 
  When 
  holes 
  fill 
  up 
  to 
  tar 
  in 
  that 
  trench 
  

   pour 
  coal 
  oil 
  on 
  them. 
  You 
  needn't 
  burn 
  them 
  in 
  holes, 
  as 
  the 
  coal 
  

   oil 
  kills 
  them."' 
  

  

  The 
  general 
  reports 
  of 
  the 
  result 
  of 
  this 
  procedure 
  were 
  highly 
  

   favorable. 
  On 
  one 
  farm 
  of 
  two 
  hundred 
  and 
  fifty 
  acres 
  a 
  coal-tar 
  

   line 
  ninety 
  rods 
  long 
  was 
  renewed 
  once 
  a 
  day, 
  and 
  killed 
  daily 
  about
