CHICKEN MITES.

An experiment made by the editor
of Progress to destroy and prevent
chicken mites on setting hens, has
proven so satisfactory that we give it
to our readers:
We set four hens in contiguous
nests on March 4th, 9th, 9th and 10Th.
When the last hen was set we noticed
that those set on the first two dates
were literally covered with mites and
that the third had begun to breed
them. We bought ten cents worth of
earbolic acid and saturated four pieces
of blotting paper about 3x5 inches.
One piece of this saturated paper was
placed in each nest, under the straw,
next to bottom Of nest box. In TWEEN
ty-four hours it seemed that every
mite was fighting for the highest po-
sition on the hens back. We then
quietly removed the three hens and
Amounted the heads and backs with
a mixture of lard and sulphur. The
fourth hen, set at the time the expert
ment was made, has not as yet sim
gle mite, though she has now been
on the nest eighteen days, and imme-
diately contiguous to the infected
nests, until they were Matched out.
| am convinced that if the straw is
thoroughly impregnated with the odol
of carbolic acid at the time the hen
is set, the insects will not breed.
In greasing hens already infected
be careful that no grease comes il
contact with the eggs. Kerosene oil
is dangerous remedy. The writer
once killed forty three chicks in three
hours by using kerosene on theil
heads for lice, and a setting hen wal

the same cause, but finally recover

KEEPING DUCKS FOR PROFIT.

But few farmers make a speciality
Of keeping ducks for market. That
is while large majority of farmers
keep few ducks yet they do not
give them the attention that is some
times devoted to hens. The duck is
an industrious forager and is able to
pick up large portion of its food,
but in winter it often goes hungry
for the want of feeding, and hence
does not lay. Where ducks are right
ly managed they lay more eggs than
hens, and the price of such eggs is
higher. The mistake made in sell
ing ducks, however, is in keeping
them too long after they have attain
ed maturity. There is an old maxim
that "the duck grows very fast and
should be sold soon" and it is true.
No adult ducks should be kept ex-
cept only enough to produce the
eggs for Matching the young ones,
and two brakes and ten females will
lay eggs sufficient for Matching out
over one thousand ducklings. The
duckling may be Matched by hens or
in incubators, and should be forced
from the start. They are enormous
eaters but grow accordingly, for Of
the large breeds they can be made to
weigh FIVE pounds each when ten
weeks old, at which period they do
not not increase very rapidly after
reaching that weight Exchange.

Mr.. P. P. Dodge, conductor on the
Georgia road, lives on Frazier street
in Atlanta, and has a back yard 40
by 80 feet. The yard is divided into
pens. Each pen is filled with fancy
bred poultry, From this yard last
year he gathered 500 dozen eggs
which he sold at 50 per dozen, thus
realizing $1,000. He has seventeen
varieties of chickens. He has tested
the various breeds and then tests
different foods. He experiments with
incubators, with broods and with de-
vices for packing and preserving
eggs, with diseases of poultry and
their remedy. He has for seven
years worked at odd times at poultry
breeding, and now has a gold mine.
