Second. — They can not increase in water 

 where there are pollywogs or fishes. 



Third. — Crude oil or even kerosene poured 

 on the pools kills the larvas and prevents adults 

 from laying eggs on the water. 



A barrel partly full of rain water, an un- 

 protected cistern, pieces of crockery and tin 

 cans which will hold water, are often sufficient 

 to provide a generous swarm of mosquitoes, 

 which in all probability will be persistent in 

 their attentions to the owner of such nuisances. 

 So cover your tanks with netting or kerosene, 

 and drain your sw r amps when possible. Then 

 you will at least have the satisfaction of know- 

 ing that mosquitoes which bother you are not 

 of your own raising. 



IN THE RASPBERRY FIELD 



A COUNTRY home that must pay its own 

 way, and every country home should 

 L certainly do this, ought to begin a gar- 

 den of berries at once, raspberries pre-emi- 

 nently, followed by blackberries, and in the 

 southern States by dewberries. The most 

 profitable at the outset, and quickest to make 

 cash returns, will be the red raspberries — in- 

 cluding the yellow and purple varieties. For 

 the last ten years the price of these berries has 

 gone steadily upward, in spite of increased 

 production. The wholesale price has climbed 

 from eight or ten cents per quart to eighteen 

 and twenty. In 1907 the market was far 

 from being well supplied even at the latter 

 prices. The reason for this is that the rasp- 

 berry enters more and more freely into con- 

 sumption, and in a larger number of ways, 

 than most other fruits. Those who economize 

 on every thing else desire a few raspberries 

 for jelly, jam and canning. The raspberry 

 can always be counted on to hold the local 

 market, because it can not be shipped to any 

 distance in the basket and crate without crush- 



Warmth for the Guest 



The guest sud- 

 denly arriving is 

 quickly, surely 

 made to feel "at 

 home" and the 

 cordial welcome 

 is much empha- 

 sized where the 

 home is equipped 

 for right living by

il Radiators *-* 



DEAL 



Boilers 



A turn of the valve puts uniform, genial warmth into a room — or 

 shuts off the heat in unoccupied rooms and saves fuel. Richest 

 furnishings and decorations will not put a warm welcome into a 

 cold house for either guests, callers or vacation-returning family. 

 Better, therefore, prepare early this Fall season to warm the home 

 by Hot Water or Low Pressure Steam heating. IDEAL Boilers 

 and AMERICAN Radiators bring no ashes, coal gases, dust, 

 smoke, grime or soot into guest chamber or other rooms. 

 Why, therefore, continue to pay the extra expense for labor, fuel 

 and repairs of stoves and hot air furnaces? Why lose in addition 

 all the comfort, convenience and healthfulness of our way? 



Made in sizes for cottages, mansions, stores, schools — all buildings — OLD or new — farm or city.

 rooms. Sales Branches and warehouses throughout America and Europe.
