DESTROY LICE IN
POULTRY YARD
A VERY EASY THING TO DO
Poultry and Lice Can Not
Thrive in Same Quarters.

The busy housewife who tries to
care for her own poultry often
finds it a nonpaying investment
because she does not have the time
to work much with them and does
not know how to quickly rid them
of vermin, and a lousy hen never
pays for her feed. Here are SIM
pie methods that require very little
time or expense and have been
throughly tried and found truly
successful.
Mites harbor about the roosts, so
apply to all parts, with stiff
brush, pine tar diluted with coal
oil. This will forever settle the
mite question. AS a protection for
the feathers Of the fowls paper will
adhere nicely to the tar One light
application is sufficient and you
will never find other mites on the
roosts.
Now, lice live on the body of the
fowl, so take a headless barrel, tack
strong cloth near the top of the
fowl to stand on, have old carpet
to cover the barrel closely, except
a small opening on the side where
the fowls head is placed for fresh
air. Place under the barrel a YES
sci containing live Goals and a
handful of sulphur. In about five
minutes every louise on the fowl
will be dead. With ext "a help two
or three can be smoked at one time.
If your flock is large lice kill
ing machine can be procured at
small cost that will fan insect
powder into the feathers: the
powder adhers to the skin and IS
sure death to the lice. A dozen
can be famed at one time.
With these hasty, inexpensive
and effectual methods you can get
rid and keep rid of vermin. Then
by giving careful thought to hous
ing and feeding you will find your
poultry paying as we'll in winter as
in summer.

HOW TO MAKE

WHEN PROPERLY CARED FOR

Attention Given Poultry.

Being the wife of a renter l have
to use most any old building called
henhouse for my chickens.
However, believing where there
is a will, there is a way l select
the best covered outbuilding l can
find. First have it throughly
cleaned and a few rails put over
head as for loft. This is covered
thickly with fodder also around
the wall, where the roOsts are
placed. Have roost room for four
ty or fifty hens in the warmest part
of house, with dropping board I'M
derneath, thereby giving all the
floor space for scratching room.
Cover the floor with forest leaves
or straw. In this on bad days corn
and wheat are fed, enough to keep
the chickens busy thorugh the day.
Water and oyster shells, with a
beef head. occasionally, are kept
before them all the time. On warm
days they are allowed the full range
of the farm. For my trouble l am
we'll paid in nice fresh eggs for my
table, with S. to $40 in cash each
