About Lice and Mites.

It is an easy matter to keep the
poultry quarters free of lice and
mites. if you go at it right. On the
other hand, it is a very difficult I'M
dertaking to clear hen house of
mites after they once get good
start.
If there are none, as yet, they may
he 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.
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 well soaked in
the oil and some dry dirt thrown in
the bottom of the box, with new,
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 or.
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 good soaking with coal
oil
To those who have pest of mites
already started in the hen house, we
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. B,
Geer.

Feeding Value Of Soy Beans.

The following question and accom-
panying answer from the Southern
Farm Magazine contains much valu
able information:
"Please give me some information
concerning the value of soy beans
for hay and grain production. Kindly
state the composition as well. Are
sofa and soy beans similar or entirely
different"
The soy bean and sofa bean are one
and the same thing. 1t is legume,
and, in our opinion, will yield more
grain per acre than the cowpea.
Some varieties of it, such as the
black, which mature comparatively
early and do not grow so vigorously
as the Mammoth Yellow and the Me-
dunn Green, will make fine quality
of hay, and one which is easier to
cure than that from the cowpea.
When planting for grain you will find
the two varieties just mentioned
among the best to plant for large
yields. The black is an excellent
variety of soy bean for general Gull
tivation. The grain can be fed to a
great variety of live stock, but being
rich in protein, it should be mixed
with corn or other concentrates. The
hay will be readily eaten by all
classes of live stock. Farmers in the
South should cultivate the soy bean
extensively. 1t makes much richer
hay than timothy and can be fed I'M
der rational conditions as a substi-
tute for a portion of the grain now

WHAT'S THE USE?

my brother was in the habit of

Leghorns VS.. MongreIs.

The West Virginia Station reports
the following summary of an interest
ing experiment: /. Fifty white Leg
horns were compared with fifty mon
grels for one year as to cost OF food
and egg production, ordinary care
and attention being given them such
as they would receive on the average
farm. 2. In addition to skim-mllk
used to moisten the mash the Leg
horns consumed sixty-One pounds OF
food costing $50 cents, and the mon
grels consumed 668 pounds of the
same materials costing 92.1 cents, 3.
During the year the Leghorns laid
1865 eggs, worth $2.24 per hen, and
the mongrels SCI eggs, worth $1.78
per hen. 4. The Leghorns gave a
profit over the cost of food of S1.39
and the mongrels profit of eighty
six cents. 5. The mongrels gained
in weight one pound per head more
than the Leghorns. If 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, jan
uary and February. During these
four months the mongrels laid only
364 eggs and the Leghorns 1929, or
practically three times as many.

fed to beef and dairy cattle 1t will
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 or more pounds Of
nork per acre. Soy beans contain an
average Of 29.6 per cent. of digestible
nrotein as compared with 1873 for
cowpeas, Is to 16 for bran, and 37.2
for cottonseed meal. You will see
that 1t is one of the richest food
stuffs the farmer can grow, and will
aid in balancing up rations in which
corn predominates.

THE FRANK PERSON.

We all know-and respect-ant
avoid-such persons; the world is
full of them-too full for the gener-
al comfort of it's other inhabitants.
And frequently what they call the
truth is not abstract truth at all, but
is merely the expression of their own
particularly land frequently errone-
ous) opinions. Yet as they utter it
they glow with spiritual pride and
feel themselves in the same boat as
the Christians of the Catacombs and
the rest of the noble army of mar
tyrs; never realizing that their cause
is no tenet of an inspired creed, but
merely an embodiment of their own
pet prejudices; and their sacrifice on
its behalf is neither their own life
nor wealth, but merely the feelings
and the sentiments of other people,
says Woman's Life.
Such persons are very fond of re-
marking that they owe it to them
selves to say exactly what they think;
it never seems to occur to them that
they likewise owe it to others to con-
ceal what they think, if such thoughts
be inimical to the general pleasant
ness and we'll being of society at
large; yet surely they have never
been taught that their duty to them
selves comes before their duty to
their neighbors.

this device is operated by hot air

duce 1t in localities where the electric
fan'is not practicable, but 1t is assert
ed that it costs less to run one than an
electric fan, and hence it ought to COM
pete with the latter The hot air which
drives the engine is generated Dy a
kerosene lamp which holds about one
quart of oil, that amount being suf-
ticient to keep the fan running for
over twenty-four hours. To the lamp
is attached a small glass chimney
which fits into larger metal chimney
connected with the engine. Upon the
top of the engine is hung the fan,
similar in shape and size to the ordi-
nary electric fan, whose speed is gov
erned by the size of the flame; that
is, to reduce the speed the fame is
turned down, and to increase it the
fame is turned up. The whole outfit
weighs about thirty pounds and sets

desk 1t is fitted with handles, and
can be easily moved to any portion
of the room or house desired.
