Remedy for Mites.

The Poultry Gazette publishes the
following as a remedy for mites. If
it is effectual it is certainly an easy
and cheap method of getting rid of
Them
In an article that appeared in the
Gazette some time ago, J. E. Wilcox,
Rock House. Ark. referred to rem
edy all his own for ridding poultry
houses of mites He says that it is
a complete success and as numerous
parties have written him for the for
mula. Mr.. Wilcox has sent it to us to
be published for the benefit of poultry
people who are bothered with mites
in their poultry houses. The formula
for this remedy is as follows: One
quart of tallOw, one pint coal oil,
four ounces of sulphur, one ounce of
carbOlic acid. Melt tallOw and mix;
apply with paint brush. If perches
are nailed fast. loosen them and paint
every crack and crevice. especially
the under side of the perches. Also
paint the posts and cross pieces and
everything within II or IA inches of
the perches. In speaking of this rem
edy, Mr.. Wilcox says: ''This is harm
less also, healthy and stays on long
time. 1 painted my perches last year
and there is not a mite to be found
and tell you they were bad last year.
1 have not painted them this year,
but it ought to be done once a year
at least l think when it is on fresh
it will kill the lice also, as the fumes
rise For this reason it ought to be
used Oftener."

Charcoal for Fowls.

There is one thing which nature
does not supply, and which civiliza-
ton renders necessary to fowls. 1t is
charcoal. But charcoal made of wood
does not answer the purpose; it has
no taste of food, is not attractive to
fowls, and is seldom eaten. But if
any one will put an ear of ripe corn
into the fire till the grains are well
charred and then shell off the corn and
throw it to his flock, he will see an
eagerness developed and a healthy
condition brought about. All pale
combs will become bright red, the
busy song of ''craking," which pre-
cedes laying, will be heard, and the
yield of eggs will be greatly Increased
British Fancier.
No practical pOultryman will ques-
ton the value of parched or charred
corn as a most desirable and health
producing food, and we are pleased to
note that our English cousins are pIac-
ing more value on corn or maize than
they did formerly. The real value of
our Indian corn is just beginning to
be appreciated ON the other side of the
pond, not only as an excellent article
of food, when properly prepared, for
the human race, but for brute creation
as well.-The American Fancier.

Dry Food Method for Poultry.

Who shall decide when doctors dis
agree? Many writer's about poultry
keeping are very particular in their
directions about the way that things
shall be done in poultry yard. Ex-
perience has shown that while it is
true that these are good methods, they
are not the only route by which sue
cess can be obtained.
A writer, i'm the New England Farm
er, tells how he found a new way
which proved to be as good in every
way, and much better in some:
After a lifetime of experience among
animals | have been forced to the be-
lief that there is more easy money to
be made from poultry than from any
other livestock, provided one has the
discrimination to decide upon the right
things to do instead of the wrong
things. l think it is a lack of this dis
elimination that fails nine out of ten
pOultrymen. There are a few very i'm
pOrtant details to be attended to, and
there are a thousand other things, that
are advocated as being important,
which it would be better for us never
to have heard of. 1t must be borne In
mind that it is the labor account which

Stubbs Raises Buckwh eat.

Have any of our readers ever tried
buckwheat in Florida? If so, what
was the result? We see no reason
why it should not be grown here, as

wheat said Mrs. Stubbs, ''it does not
pay to buy all the grain to feed the
hens when one can just as well raise
some themselves
Stubs could not truthfully deny
this. Wheat kernels are no doubt the
best thing for hens to scratch for in
winter, but there is one disadvantage
the expense. Buckwheat in the
kernel answers a very good purpose
for one of the articles fed.

Proof That Poultry Pays.

Mrs. o. w. Brockway, the champion
poultry raiser in the vicinity of Ran
dOlph, VT, has sold from 80 hens in
the last year poultry to the amount of
$125.69 and eggs that brought in
$13O.23, making total receipts of $225.-
81 Out of this sum she paid $SS.97
for feed, which left her a net gain Of
$166.95. She has ON hand 80 pullets
to take the place of the hens, and four
cockerels, and out of her supplies has
furnished eggs for the family use and

increasing the expense of cutting and
threshing.
An addition of ashes or bOnedust to
the land seems to lessen the lodging of
the rOp-althOugh, of course, adding
to the expense of raising. Buckwheat
usually succeeds ON well fitted and fer
tilted land, but sometimes an early
frost spOilS it.

An Indiana poultry breeder, who
kept record of his flock for the year
1905, shows the following interesting
results: He had nearly 25O hens,
largely of the brown LeghOrn variety,
and during the year he gathered 3d.
:357 eggs, and sold %, 1888, for which he
received $32346. The eggs were
gathered daily. In addition he used
64 dozen for eating and setting pur-
poses. Each hen laid an average of
1O1 eggs during the year, the income
from which approximately was $1.4O.

A Natural Hen Brooder for Late
Hatched Chicks.

Poultry Journal. writing from winter
Park. Fla. gives his method of rails
ing chicks:
When warm weather begins, which
with us i'm Florida is very early in the
season, we find no trouble in running
the incubators, though they then re-
qr1ire much more careful attention,
but to properly ventilate and heat the
brooder while not impossible, is almost
if not quite, impracticable.
After much thought and experiment,
we now, after April 1st, use only hens
for incubating and for brOOding.
The hens are set so that four will
hatch at the same time. Care is taken
to place them i'm as cool a place as
possible and to keep them free from
vermin.
We are fortunate in having most of
our chicken farm covered with
heavy turf of Bermuda grass. On one
side of the cleared grass covered part
adjoining a shady wood lot, space
5Ox1OO feet has been fenced in with
four foot wire. and divided with wire
of the same height into runs 5 feet
by 30 feet Twenty-Five feet being on
grass sod and % feet in the shade of
the woods.
These very narrow runs, with hlgh
fences. give perfect protection from
hawks, for in circling down for d little
chick they are sure to hit the wire and
are frightened off.
When the division fences were COM
pleted. a small coop was put in each
run. This coop has removable roosts,
fIo ia1-S In. T.On
enough they may be put in place and
the hen early teach her babies to go
to roost ''high and dry
In each yard also is running water,
furnished by a windmill. This saves
much labor and keeps the fiocks In
better health Drinking too warm
water is a fruitful source of trouble
amongst little chickens.
When the four hens have completed
their hatch. we select the two who
are least nervous for mothers and
return the other two to the laying
yards. The little chickens are divided
between the two mothers and are
then put all together into one of the
small cOOps in a run. Trad1tlOnaliy
the hens should fight and kill most
of the little ones but we find they are
as friendly as possible. AS neither
of the hen knows which is her chicks
as they are all always of the same
breed, the little ones stand double the
opportunity of being ''mOthered' or
fed with bugs, according to their
wants at the time.
If either hen insists too early on
leaving the brood the remaining one
will take care of all. Then, too, two
hens together can brood successfully
more chicks than the two separated
can.
These young chicks, and the hens
with them if possible, are kept in
these runs until large enough to go
into colony houses.
The colony houses are at some dis
tance from each other, scattered
throughout an S-acre orange grove.
The pullets are separated from the
cOckerels and are put into the house
which is to be their future home.
The cOckerels are prepared for
market, excepting the best specimens,
which are placed in runs prepared for
them.
