both are close students of educational

Keep On Fighting the Lice.

I.-When chicks droop and appear
sick without cause, especially in sum.
mer, look for lice(not the red mites)bnt
the large grey body lice on the heads
and necks.
IF you find them, use few drops O.
grease of any kind. A teaspoonful OF
oil of pennyroyal to cup of lard is
excellent.
3.-LOok under the wings for the red
lice, but use only few drops of lard
4.-Never grease the bodies of chickens
unless lightly, as grease will sometime
kill them.
5.--Never use kerosene on chicks. un-
less it be teaspoonful of kerosene to q
teacup of lard, as it is irritating.
g. Keep the dust bath always read
Use dry dirt or sifted coal ashes. Add
carbonate of lime, Persian insect pow

ITO rid the house of lice saturat,
with kerosene(coal OILY, or the kerosene
emulsion, everywhere-foors, walls,
roosts, yard, roof inside and outside

S.-Dust insect powder in the feathers
and be sure it is fresh and good, for
little chicks.
9.-Put insect powder and tobacco
dust in the nests. Never pour grease
in the nests. Clean them out every
week.
1O.-Even when no lice may be pre-
sent. use the sprinkle of kerosene at
least once a week; and keep the roosts
always saturated.
1.-THE easiest and best way to
whitewash is with force pump. They
are now made to force water from the
pail
12.-When your chicks have bowel
disease look for big lice.
13-Air Stacked lime, freely busted
everywhere, is cheap and will destroy
lice, gapes and roup.
l4.-The kerosene emulsion, made
by using ten times as much water as
kerosene, may be used as bath fol
fowls, dogs, cats, or anything that is
infested with lice and feas.
15.-The odor of oil of pennyroyal
is always disagreeable to'vermin.
16.-Use only the fresh Dalmation

cents per pound. The California
