MITES nv POULTRY HOUSES.
Fest Can Only Be Kept Out by, Clean
Ilness and Spraying the Roosts.

An interesting bulletin has been Is
sued by the state entomologist OF
Minnesota in which the author dis
cusses the mite as found in the poultry
house The following extract from
Entomolgist washburn's bulletin will
interest our readers:
These nocturnal blood suckers, not
true lice, nor even insects, since they
belong to the class Arachnida, are
found during the daytime on the under
side OF the roosts and elsewhere in
neglected henhouse.
The mites. just visible to the naked
eye, have eight legs when adult, and
are whitish, brownish or red, depend.
ing somewhat upon the time elapsing
since the last meal.
They breed in nests, in hen manure
and in cracks and crevices- In the dirt
of neglected henhouses.
Roasting fowls are attacked at
night, and II these parasites are very
abundant serious results, follow. In or
dinary numbers even, they prevent
fowls from sleeping. Sitting hens, as
well known. are sometimes forced to
abandon their nests because Of the
presence OF these pests.
Cleanliness is all.imp0rtant. II
costs rest in sockets. from which
they can be lifted, allowing the yer.
min to gather in those places to be
killed. strong point is gained.
The writer has been in the habit
of spraying the roosts with strong
kerosene emulsion, taking particular
pains to drench the under side of the
same and all cracks and crevices In
the interior OF the house. Kerosene
alone will accomplish the same re
suits.
This treatment was followed by 9
thorough whitewashing. These pre-
cautions and the removal of all drop
pings should be resorted to frequent
ly to insure exemption from this pest
"On account OF these mites It is ,
bad plan to keep fowls In close prox
nifty to other stock; hens, for In
itance. should not be kept In the SAM
,uilding a. horses, nor should tn
zen house be built against the bari
Or the same reason.
Nests intended for sitting hen
,hould be most carefully prepared Il
;uch q way AZ to discourage the pref
nee Of this parasite.
The entomologist has used ashe
,r a mixture OF lime and ashes as
)asis upon which to place hay o
straw for the nest and has scattere
