WORK OF BIG CONVENTION

Ensley, April 12.-(Special.)-=J. A. Bur gin, more familiarity known as Bert" ," has his own ideas of enforcement of the law and getting even with the city, and believes that what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander. Not many days ago one of Mr. Burgin's mules strayed over into the city and was promptly mpounded by a watchfuI city official. Burgin paid the customary fee of $1 to regain possession of his wander ing Maud" but patiently hided his time and chance to get even, which came yes terday. Two of the fine animals recently purchased to do the sanitary work of the city strayed beyond their limits and inad- vertently "broke the close" of MT. Bur- gins property who promptly went into the ''pound' business on his own ac- count, opening up with as fine a team of mule flesh ever pulled sanitary or any other kind of wagon. The city off cials were not long in coming to a re- alization of the fact that they were shy just two hard tais,p and on investiga- ton found that those same animals had been caught, tried, convincted la Bur gin and were then serving their sentences. Negotiations were opened with the cap tor, who stated that the conditions of sur render should be the payment of $1 per each'' for the imprisoned animals. The representatives of the city at first de- murred to this, claiming that the city was a government" and as such not subject to the same petty requirements as ordinary mortals. They drew off, how ever for consultation, and decided that as the cleaning of the city must go on and as those same animals were abso- lutely necessary to carry on the good work, and as no time could be lost 1t was best to pay the extortionate charges demanded. which was done to the Sats- faction of all parties concerned.

THE DEADLY MITE.
Sucks the Life Out Of Poultry and
Profit Out of Owners Pocket.

The most deadly foe Of the farm
fowl is the little mite, whose small.
ness is made up for by the enormous
numbers in which he appears in tho
hen house. Without doubt the NUM-
bers. in an infested hen house, will
often run into the hundreds of thou.
sands and perhaps into the millions A
single mite can do no harm, bu, thou
sands can. We have seen setting hens
killed by these mites. and there is no
doubt that often their presence In
flock causes very great decrease
In the production of eggs by the
fowls.
These mites are grayish in color.
before they have Toasted on fowl.
Then they fill themselves with blood,
and this shows through the transpar-
ent skin of the mite. This gives them
the red color by which they are
known, The little red mite" In their
natural color they are little noticed
on the roots and under the straw aud
other litter in the nests. They null
tiply with great rapidity and by March
have filed every crack in poultry
house where they are permitted 10
remain. Till the writer lost setting
hen by the attacks of these little YAM
pires he did not believe that 1t
was possible for such small things
to kill n large. strong vigorous setting
hen.
Having had no mites in his hen
house for years. the writer did not
hnliaVn ut a
time he set two hens in rather
dark nests. says Farmers Review.
In about two weeks he noticed
that one OF the hens seemed to
be sick. though he was unable to de-
tect any particular trouble. Her comb
had turned very pale. almost black.
He took her from her eggs and care
fully examined her, but nothing was
discovered to indicate the source Of
the trouble OF course the mites that
had been sucking her blood in the
night had all left her by daylight, and
had taken refuge under the straw in
the nest Two or three days after that
he found the hen dead, half way off
the nest with her wings extended.
The little vampires had sucked such
quantities of blood from her that
there was not enough left for heart
action. Yet the owner did not oven
then suspect the cause of the death
of this hen.
Another hen was placed on the eggs
and In two or three days it was no
ticed that her comb was also becom-
ing pale and that she was growing
weak. She was taken off the rest
and WAS almost too weak to move
about. The eggs were taken out and
the straw removed, when it was dis
covered that the bottom of the rest
was one mass of red, fat mites, every
one OF which had nightly Toasted oft
the setting hens. They were destroyed
and new nest material put into the
nests. It was a striking illustration
of the deadly character Of the attacks
of these mites.
There is no doubt that, in addition
to the damage these mites do in suck
ing blood. there is another damage
they do that must not be lest sight of.
They spread disease from one bird
to another by sucking blood from one
bird and then from another The
losses from this cause must be very
great

Roller from Moving Machine Wheels


ends of the center shaft were inserted
in boxes in the two outside pieces
of the frame, which was made OF
four by four hardwood material. Four
two by eight planks were used for
the front and rear of the frame.
A platform was made on which the
seat was attached by taking an old
wagon tire and bending it in position
shown. Platform was placed on these
bars and an old moving machine seat
bolted for the rider. An old moving
machine tongue was used for the
tongue on the roller When a roller
is devised in this manner. says Prai-
rie Farmer, it is much easier for a
team to turn around than is the COM
mon log roller.
