The Mosquito Mystery and a Civil War Dispatch
The article ponders why the mosquito bites and its alleged medical role. It notes experiments on appetite and survival without food, humorously dismisses a defender’s theory, and ends with a colonial-era dispatch about Forbes delivering news of a battle, the telegraph run, and impressions of Lord Lytton. it closes with California Ocean Queen sweet potatoes used as hog feed and potential sugar beet replacement.
