Fig. -Acid generators showing resld'ue remaining because of careless emptying. (After Pierce, P. C. Jr. Ent.) around is often paced, but careful fumigators use a tapeline, which is certainly the only procedure to be recommended. The tapeline should be numbered in feet on both sides, the numbering of each side being opposite so as to admit of the use of either end without subtraction. A small, light snap is usually sewed to each end, to be fastened to the ring at the top of a short iron pin stuck in the ground to hold the loose end while the tape is carried around the tent. DOSAGE SCHEDULES. These schedules are printed on fairly stiff paper so that they may be tacked upon a board for the use of the cyanide man. The figures are black and large enough to be plainly seen by the light of a torch or lantern on the darkest night. Half and quarter ounces are omitted, because of the difficulty in reading the small fractions at night and because few scales are made to register these small amounts Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original California.
