About Lice and Mites.

It is an easy matter to keep the
poultry STARTERS free of lice and
mites, if you go at it right. ON the
other hand, it is a very difficult un-
dertaking to clear a hen house OF
mites after they once get a good
start.
If there are none, as yet, they may
be headed off by the free use of coal
oil about the roosts and nests. In
addition, the oil should also be
sprinkled thoroughly over the floor
and on the lower parts of the inside
walls Of the house. 4
The roosts should be saturated
with the oil, and the old nesting ma
terial in the boxes removed and
burned. Then the interior of the
nest boxes should be we'll soaked in
the oil and some dry dirt thrown in
the bottom of the box, with news
clean nesting put in them. This will
keep the roosts and the nests free
of mites, and when there are no
mites about either of them, there Is
little danger of them breeding else
where.
The odor of the oil, if. renewed on
the roosts once or twice a week, will
free the fowls Of lice. And If the
nests for sitters are made up as above
suggested, they will also be free Of
both lice and mites. The coops for
the mother hens and their broods
should be treated in the same way
care being taken to not put any of
the oil directly on very young chick
ems, and to put some dry dirt in the
bottom of the coop after it has been
treated to a good soaking with coal
oil.
To those who have a pest of mites
already started in the hen house, W.
would say to them to locate the
source of them, and the places where
they appear to be the thickest, and
then, before using the oil, take wisps
of newspapers made up in the form
of torches, and lighting them one at
a time, pass the blaze quickly over
the boxes, roosts, sides of the house,
etc., where they are and thus burn
them out. BY moving the blaze
about quickly it will not FIRE the
wood, but it will burn mites by the
thousand. We have tried this plan
very successfully. In fact, it is about
the only way to get rid of the mites
in warm weather, after they have
once gotten a good start.-By H. 3.

Leghorns VS.. Mongrels.

The West Virginia Station reports
the following summary of an interest
ing experiment.: 1. Fifty white Leg
horns were compared with fifty mon
grels for one year as to cost of food
and egg production, ordinary are
and attention being given them such
as they would receive on the average
farm. 2. In addition to skim-milk
used to moisten the mash the Leg
horns consumed sixty-one pounds Of
food costing 1873 cents, and the mon
grels consumed 66.S pounds of the
same materials costing 92.1 cents. 8.
During the year the Leghorns laid
1865 eggs, worth $2.24 per hen, and
the mongrels 96.1 eggs, worth $1.78
per hen. 4. The Leghorns gave a
profit over the cost of food of $1.39
and the mongrels a profit Of eighty
six cents. 5. The mongrels gained
in weight one pound per head more
than the Leghorns. IT this increase
in weight is taken into consideration
then the Leghorns gave a profit Of
forty cents per hen more than the
mongrels. 6. The highest prices for
fresh eggs usually prevail during the
months Of November, December, JAM
uary and February. During these
four months the mongrels laid only
364 eggs and the Leghorns 1929, or
practically three times as many.

produce more pounds of beef per acre
when fed in the form of hay than
would be obtained from an acre of
corn. When grazed it should make
from 400 to 600 o. more pounds of
pork per acre. Soy beans contain an
average of 29.6 per cent. of digestible
protein as compared with 1873 for
cowpeas, 10 to 16 for bran, and 37.2

that it is one of the richest food

FOREIGN WHEAT DEMAND.
No Great Desire Shown, However, to
Lay IN Supplies.

Chicago.-Although wheat prices
declined As 05ascn net, followers of
the market are not sure that the time
has arrived for investment. There
was an increasing volume of wheat
received at primary centres, no ade-
quate compensating milling or export
demand, together with rapid progress
under favorable conditions of. the
spring wheat crop toward safe matur-
ity. Foreign buyers have not evinced
great desire to lay In supplies at the
prevalent prices-low in comparison
with those which have prevailed-to
make up for the big worlds short
age which has been so much talked of.
But there have been some signs that
the foreign demand is gradually in
creasing and millers' wants, it is be-
lieved, r due to show a healthy ex-
pansion.
AS to the spring wheat prospect,
there still isSchance for damage. Dis
aster might come which would start
the speculative fires afresh.
Spring wheat's condition, upon an
average for the entire United States,
shows q falling OFF of 7.5 points, as
compared with the condition Of the
cereal a year ago. Then the aver

United States, as a whole, also is four
points less than the ten-year average.

NEGOTIATING LAND.

The New York State Experiment
station committed itself last year to
reinstatement that the dried cultures
for iegume incubation, then on the
market. were worthless. This of course
reused much criticism by those who
were preparing and selling such CUE
lures: but Director Jordan finds his
view confirmed by results secured at
sixteen other stations; the tests agree
in showing the cultures 70 be OF little
or no value. 1t was claimed in de-
fenseo of the cultures that their failure
was due TO alternate moist and dry
conditions of Tie air in shipment and
storage; and that by sealing the pack
ages the germs would survive for at
least a year. Accordingly many OF
he cultures sent out in 1906 were
enclosed in metal tubes to prevent
access of air. This made new tests
desirable; and eighteen culture pack
ages were secured. OF which twelve
were in metal tunes. Careful tests
of these packages in the ba~cteriologi-
cal laboratory showed no living germs
in fourteen Of the packages and only
a few in two other packages. In two
of the packages, enough bacteria we're
living to give some nope of success
full incubation; but as many or more
germs of other kinds were also pres
emit. The dried cultures certainly can.
not be recommended.-Country Gen.

FASHION NOTES.

Hand-woven linen is an ideal ma.

Is never regarded as trivial by the
w~ell-dressed Parisienne, but this year
the amount which she feels obliged to

any extravagances of past years.
Colored leather, matching the dress
In tone, is an expensive matter where
many of the new fantastic shades are
concerned, while another extravagant
innovation is that of high boots OF

pie description.
Some of the daintiest examples of
boots are to be seen carried out in
fine gray lizard skin literally covered
with openwork embroidery, through
which the delicately embroidered
stockings below are plainly visible,
while an almost equal vogue is shown
for brogued shoes of grass-green mo-
rocco, which are designed to be worn
with gray or black and white gowns.
In spite of the fact that peacock's
feathers have more than earned a
right to disappear from the realm of
dress, raised silk embroideries of this
description are still to the forefront,
especially where opera wraps r con-
eerned.
