A strong, enough spray can be' made economically by soaking one pound of pyrethrum (insect powder) in one gallon of kero-sene (coal oil). The in sect powder should cost 45 cents wholesale or 75 cents retail per pound.- The coal oil should cost about 15 cents per gallon. Some of the powder will not dis solve. But if you shake up the mixture occasionally the poison will all have gone, into solution in the kerosene af ter a few .days. This -poison is called PJ^rcthron. It is harmless toymen and to all warm blooded animals but will kill worms, insects, frogs and all cold blooded animals.. Pyrethron is decom posed by water. Pyrethron pow’der must be kept dry until dissolved in the kerosene. • W L Pet s.
