Diseases of Poultry.
LICE.

Vermin are a serious drawback to fowls.
There are four kinds of chicken lice. /.
The scale louise, that lives on the feet and
legs. =. The "red mites or ''red SPIDERS
which are bloOd-suckers. 8. The body
louise, which is a scavenger. 4. The large
head louise, which is Il murderer.
The scale louise is incapable of doing
serious injury to the health Of a fowl. 1t
produces the trouble called scabby-legs.
The little mites of lice burrow between
and beneath the scales of the feet and
legs, producing the scabby incrustation.
The scabs consists of the dead bodies of
he insects themselves and the debris they
leave as O. result of their work The
trouble is contagious and will spread like
the itch, 1t is an eye sore. and 8. disa-
sreeable one, but it is esily cured. A few
applications of coal oil and sulphur or
,arbOlc ointment, if attended to at once,
will destroy the acari and remove the
scales. The application is to be well
rubbed in with an old toothbrush or some
such thing. The mites are found in the
nests and on perches. These are to be
cleaned and coal-Oiled and the scahby leg
nuisance will disappear.
The red mites" are nocturnal ia their
habits of feeding, and are the knd that do
he most mischief. They may often be
seen in immense numbers. They attack
he fowls at night, and then creep into
cracks and crcvices for the day. They
tlsO prey upon sitting hens. When these
small vermin have once established them
selves they are pretty hard to dislodgc.
they multiply with great rapidity.
The third species of poultry lice are
larger and lives upon the bodies Of the
fowls. They are scavengers as to diet and
10 not draw blood. Their presence il not
% injurious and annoying as that of the
red mites or spiders.
The fourth species are still larger and
liiicrent in shape and habits from any OF
the others. They are sometimes called
icks. They are seldom seen on adult
birds. but select the heads of young chicks

NEWSPAPER CHANGES. than three
months ago The STATESMAN predicted that at
least four Of the up country papers would
either suspend or fall into the hands OF some
other newspaper Spectator. The Spokane
77raes having changed hands the past week
fills out our prediction. The people OF this
country. after paying dearly Tor their whis-
tie. have at least come TO their senses and
new point blank reuse to patronize such
aborii,ns as are issued every few weeks.
THIS is the way the thing IS managed; some
printer either too dishonest or too lazy 10 be
employed in de ;ent office announces he Is
about 10 start paper, little clique OF
rogues like himself think they cal use him
AMI by giving him a dollar down and
promising him a hundred more, encourage
him; advertising patronage Is then solicited
and after running few days or weeks, as
the case may be, the advertising patronage
is scld on. for Il mere song and the poor
thing runs on until it dies natural death
But the last dodge is the best of all in towns
Of any size; every old established newspaper
like other businesses have collection day on
the first OF the month but the new ones
make the middle their collection day in or
der that the natural digust of the business
men may be lessened and by bringing in
their bill in the middle instead OF at the first
OF the month tie chances OF a continuance OF
the advertisement are somewhat increased.

remunerative rates. You may remember
that Mr.. P brought home with him some
specimens Of Oregon and Washington wheat
which turned out to be very good, and which
he says may be mixed to advantage with
Dakota wheat in manufacturing the patent

could be produced in Oregon, etc. if the
farmers would be careful in selecting their

when Minneapolis will use great deal OF
Pacific Northwest wheat.

Across THE LINE-The following from
the Weston Leader fully explains itself and
the course the STATESMAN is now taking in
regard to the division of Umatilla county I:
Two Years ago the ". W. STATESMAN ad
vocated the division Of this county. 1t spoke
from experience in its own county, of the in-
cOnveniencts and unnecessary expenses con-
nectei with the municipal government ex-
tending over so much territory. 1t even
went so far as TO advocate the election Of tie
division ticket. But the democrats, partic-
ularly p J. Kelly, informed the STATESMAN
that the democracy would do all in its pow
er to secure the desired division. With this
understanding the STATESMAN advocated the
election OF the straight democratic ticket,
prefsrring not to injure the party prospects
as long as the result sought for could be ac-
complished without so doing. Like many of
the voters Of Ur.atilla county it placed too
much confidence IN the specious promises OF
those whose only object was to defeat divis-
ION. As we all know, those same promising
people We're successful-they did defeat di-
vision. In cOmmon with others, the STATES
MAN has had its eyes opened.
