HOW ABOUT 'vERMIN, NOW +?

At this time. and for two months to come,
it must not be forgotten that myriads of hen
lice williaccumulate Within our houses, up
on the sides and bottoms OF the old nests, in
the crevices Of the buildings, and on or an
der the roosts-unless our oft-repeated adj
vice, given in The Poultry World, be follow
ed to guard against the enroachments OF this
pest of the poultry premises.
Old fowls are more subject to being infest-
ed with these parasites than are the rapidly
growing chickens. The massed plumage of
adult fowls forms a grand retreat tor these
insidious ''creepers - whdh are just now
enjoying their annual carnival. where the
birds have not been properly seen to, up to
this month. And we must be yigi4ant, now,

two,months, so that the old fowls will not
be- compelled to hudde together these hot
nights in August upon the old 'perches, it
will help wonderfully to keep lice at bay.

THE POULTRY YARD.
LATE CHICKENS THE BEST LAYERS.

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man writes: After repeated experiments
during the past twenty five years in hatch
ing chickens, l am fully convinced that
fowls hatched in the month Of July make
far better layers than those born at any 9TH
er season of the year. Early hatched chicks
commence laying in September. and continue
until cold January weather, when they dis
continue until spring. On the other hand,
when hatched in July or August, they be-
gin laying in February. and continue until
October. Ifind July chickens VIII average
so to Is more eggs yearly, than those hatch
cd in March. My method, therefore is to
hatch 100 chicks in August for my own use.
As soon as the cocks can be selected from
the pulets, they are converted into pot-pie,
giving the pullets all the room. The pnllets
are then we'll fed, and aresoon large enough
to care for themselves.
The Light Brahmas have always been
my most profitable and favorite fowl but
with great reluctance 'am obliged, after
three years trial to place the Partridge Co
chns at the head of the list. AS layers they
excel any Asiatic breed Ihave ever known,
and as market fowls they have no equal
They are very hardy, mature early and
make shortlegged, yellow:heshed, heavy
breasted fowls. My pulIets hatched last
August are laying now, as they have since
last February. They are superior sitters
and most careful mothers. am also breed
ing White Cochns for the first time this
season, and thus far am much pleased with
them.

MOULTING TIME.

We all know how critical period in the
lives of all domestic fowls is the season of
moulting, or annual Misunderstanding time.
Ordinarialy this change OF their plumage
does not fairly commence until the present
month, or afterward. This year, from soma
cause, many Of the Asiatics in New Eng
land are we'll through this change, already.
We believe that all through the spring and
summer thus far all the crops and all tho
vegetation have been earlier in growing and
maturing than common, anu that the wild
birdsh have hatched and matured their broods
from one to two weeks sooner than in aver
age years, and probably our domestic fowls
begin their moulting earlier this season, IN
response to the general climatic influences.
Be this lis it may, thousands of one and two
year old birds are now renewing their fall
plumage:
But thiSFis quite as well, and probably the
moulling will be concluded this year at an
earlier period, by some weeks, than has been
ordinarialy the case under our observation.
Fowls should be kindly treated, at this
critical time in their existence; and care
should be exercised regarding their diet,
While they are passing through this natural
but oftentimes dangerous ordeal Some OF
them will die All are sick, and '.out OF
tune" during,mouIting.
Give them plenty Of good clean drink. In
which few drops daily of rincture of Iron
is mixed This will assist digestion largely.
And look K'out that your breeding birds ara
not over-fed, to tattenihg, at such period.
They now need good food, but not too much
of this, or you easily surteit then,.- Poultry
