the DEADLY MITE.
Sucks the Life Out Of Poultry end
Profit Out Of Owners Pocket.


The most deadly foe, of the farm
fowl IN the little mite, whose small.
ness Is made up for by the enormous
numbers IN which he appears In the
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. but thou
sands can. We have seen setting hens
killed by these mites. and there IL 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 q fowl.
Then they MI 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. tho little red mite" In their
natural color they are little noticed
on the roots and under the straw and
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 TO
remain. TIL the writer lost n setting
hen by the attacks OF these little vam-
pires he did not believe that II
WIS possible for such small things
70 Kill a large. strong vigorous setting
hen.
Having had no mites In his hen
house for years. the writer did not
believe that any existed there at the
time he set two hens In rather
dark nests. says Farmers Review.
Ia 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
lie took her from her eggs and care
fully examined her. but nothing was
discovered TO indicate the source Of
the trouble. or course the mites that
had been sucking her blood In tho
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 on
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 even
then suspect the cause OF the death
Of this hen.
Another hen was placed on the eggs
and In two or three days II was no.
ticed that her comb was also becom-
ing pale and that she was growing
weak. She was taken on the nest
and was almost too weak 20 move
about. The eggs were taken out and
the straw removed. when II was dis
covered that the bottom OF the rest
was one mass OF red. fat mites. every
one OF which had nightly Toasted on
the setting hens. They were destroyed
and new nest material put into the
nests. II was striking illustration
OF the deadly character OF the attacks
OF these mites.
There Is no doubt that. in addition
10 the damage these mites do In suck
ing blood. there Is another damage
they do that must not be lost 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.
