The Department of Agriculture Is continually getting out bulletins for the farmer, concerning various topics of interest. Among the recent bulle tins waB one prepared on the sub ject, "Facts About Malaria." The disease, known as malaria, is caused by parasites that enter the blood, and feed on the red cells. Warm climates are peculiarly conductive to malaria, and it is chiefly in such climates that malaria is worse. These paraistes multiply very rapid ly and in a short time millions of them are in the body. It may hap pen that after having been treated a person thinks he is free from the dis ease, and has killed out 'all but one of the parasites, but this one may multiply and give him fever again. The fever itself is not so dangerous as is the fact that It weakens the body, leaving it an easy prey should death approach in another disease. The way these parasites are car ried about is chiefly by the ano pheles mosquito. This mosquito having fed upon a person 'already in fected with the malarial parasite, gives this parasite to every other person he bites. This mosquito sel doms bites before sundown and there are two ways of distinguishing him; by the way he holds himself uuou the wall, usually the body of a mos quito Is paralell to the wall upon which ne is standing but this mosqui tos* body leans away from the wall at an angle; then the wing of this special mosquito Is spotted. These mosuitoes seldom travel more than half a mile from their breeding place, and that is why some regions are said to be malarious. There are three different ways to fight this malaria. First, by me chanically protecting yourself from the mosquito by screens, nets etc. In Italy, where the disease ' was especially prevalent several years ago, it became a rule that persons had to wear veils and gloves in some district. By this means of mechan ical, protection the malaria rate was reduced from 65 or 70 per cent down to 14, but here it remained. The second method Is that of extermi nating the mosquito. Take care that all cans of water, pools of stagnant water, and even the backwater of a (running stream, be watched and guarded. There are many ways of killing the mosquitoes, two Blmple ways being to pour oil or throw lime on the waters where they are breeding. The third method of fighting malaria is that of systemati cally treating, the malarious Infected district, usually with quinine. In Italy, free quinine was distributed by the government, usually prepared i in some chocolate or other sweet confectionery. By this method the malaria rate van reduced to 4 per cent. Dr. Ronald Ross, the dis coverer of the relation of malaria with the mosquito advises that an adult patient take five grains of sul phate of quinine every day for four months, together with whatever de tails of treatment the attending phy sician should direct.
