In cracks and crevices during the day
They appear red when gorged with
blood, or white when there Is little
blood in their bodies.
To kill the lice we must treat the
hens or chicks body. as the lice live
there practically all the time. There
are several kinds of these lice, but
they all yield to the some treatment,
namely, good busting. The dust
fills up the breathing pores in their
bodies, and thus suffocates them. A
good insect powder may be made from
equal parts OF fine ground tobacco
and powdered sulphur. Snuff Is also
used. There are. a number OF insect
powders on the market and most Of
them prove very satisfactory. The
essential thing is finely pulverized
substance that will go through the
feathers.
Having carefully busted the chicks
(and hens, IL the chicks are running
with them) clean the houses and re-
move to clean ground. A good dust
bath should be arranged SO that the
hens and chicks may help keep them
selves clean. An excellent dust bath
is made by drawing a load of chip.

dust, land plaster or coal or wood
ashes answers very well. A mixture
of sand and land plaster seems ia
please them more than either one
alone. Some use wood ashes alone
but mixture Of wood ashes and
road dust, or fine sand, makes q
heavier bath and therefore more ef
fective in cleaning the lice out of the
feathers.

ASTOLICE ANDMITES
Don't Board Them.

Other foes of little chicks are ex-
.ernal parasites, lice and mites. We
frequently find lice even among win
er brooder chicks. Lice on the head
are most troublesome. They fasten
themselves to the back of the chick
head, near the base of the brain and
gradually kill the chick. 1t is a pitt.
hui sight to see the little chick
scratching the back of its head try.
ng to dislodge the pest. Good re.
Iults are usually obtained by greasing
he head of each chick with five per
cent. carbonated vaseline. Kerosene
ind lard, equal parts, prove equally
affective. The chicks can be rapidly
treated and should be attended to as
loon as there is any suspicion OF
head lice. The louise may be seen
'eadily by means of small magnify
ng glass. 1t can also be detected
With the naked eye If one is very care
hui to examine the fright place, al

lee it.
To kill mites, clean all coops and
,rooders perfectly. then apply thor
,ughly, either whitewash, kerosens
Ill, or some OF the prepared insect
tides. Be sure to fill all the cracks
ind crevices as these are the places
where mites will be found hiding dur

with pump and then smoothed ovel
with brush, doing rapid and effec

ice in that they suck the blood from

biting mouthparts and live on thu

sheepskin tannery operated by MI.
Adolph Uber and one OF the smaller
but prosperous industries of this
Mace was practically destroyed by
FIRE. The loss is heavy one, as "A

known groups of citizens began to
gather in the streets.

to the Jail and asked the marshal to
bring the prisoners out. He refused
and general attack on the building
began, the crowd trying to force its
way in. At last the door was opened
by one of the constables and the mob
was admitted, but by that time the
prisoners had been safely removed
and were on their way to Sioux City.

Little Falls Woman Victim Of Assault
by Tramp She Was Giving Food.
Little Falls, Mimi, June 10.-Yes-
terday morning a tramp came to the
front door of the home of George
Terrell in this city and asked for
something to eat Mrs. Terrell, who
was alone in the house, left the inner
door open and the screen door hook
ed and went to the kitchen, bringing
back sack containing food. AS she
was about to unlock the screen door
to hand him the food he said:
mo decent woman would ask a
man to eat in the rain"
AS he spoke he made a quick
movement with his hand. which was
resting on the side of the door, and
threw a quantity of carbolic acid
through the screen and into the WON
ans face.
The man fled as soon as he had
committed the deed, and no trace of
him could be found, though within
thirty minutes the police and posse
of citizens were securing the city and
the woods east of the Terrell home
for some trace of the man.
1t was found that no acid had en-
tered Mrs. FerrelPs eyes, although
the lids are badly burned. Her fore
head, face and neck are also severe
ly burned. The woman is suffering
considerable pain from the burns, but
aside from the scars, which probably
will remain, nothing serious will re-
suit.
