PREVENTING MITES.
'"'i""' ways by which Poultry
hraisers Aim TO Accomplish
This Difficult Task.

Keep your chickens healthy and
your success is assured. Keep them
free from mites and there is little dam
ger that they will not remain healthy.
There are many remedies, all more or
less successful. but the best remedy il
prevention. The first great problem
is TO keep the roosting places and the
nests free from the pest. 70 do this is
oiten problem. One farmer of nv
acquaintance had perches that could
be easily removed. Every little while
he would remove them and pass them
slowly through a brisk fire. Another
treats the perches. nests and inside of
the coop with mixture of coal oil
and water, applied with n force pump.
still another swabs off the percbes
with tar water. Another keeps n dust
ooX for his fowls to wallow in. This
box contains a mixture of road dust
wood ashes and sulphur. ANY or all
OF these are good. The idea is to keen
me mites away. One lady in n neipb-
boring county raised chickens bv the
thousands every year. She was asked
how She kept her chickens free from
mites. This was her methods: She /
kept her perches wound with old RAGS
ana every few days saturated them
with kerosene and water. Mites never
.rouDled her chickens. nor did any Of
he poultry diseases that follow in the
wake OF these pests She did NOTHING
