Neither does it play the game, and make its attacks when your hands are free to ward it off, but just when you are carrying a couple of pails of water from the well or milking the cows. Before the mosquitoes came I used to have to go and drive the 36 A MANITOBA CHORE BOY cattle home in the evening, for they were greedy for the first green grass and reeds along the sides of the sloughs; but now they will come racing up, followed by clouds of mosquitoes, and we make smudges of damp straw and gras...s, to choke off the blood-thirsty little wretches. There is nothing in the least incidental or casual about the mosquito's method of attack. He alights on your forehead, or neck, or nose — the tenderest and most inviting spot — a thin, leggy, anaemic-looking gnat. He proceeds to unroll his proboscis, like the hose of a water-cart, and makes an in- cision, swift and deep, like the dentist's preliminaries to extracting a tooth without pain, and equally painful. Withdrawing his needle, wiping it carefully, and putting it away in his instrument case, he then screws the nozzle of his nose into your flesh, and pro- ceeds to pump blood.
