One of the most d1fhcult ana Trying
problems which a poultry keeper has
to meet is that of keeping his poultry
houses and stock reasonably free from
lice, mites and other external para
sites. There are many proprietary
preparations on the market designed
to accomplish this end in one way or
another. Most of these preparations
are, in proportion to their efficiency,
very expensive. Many, of them have
been tried at the Maine Experiment
Station. The station has finally, how
ever, come to follow the procedure out
lined in a recent bulletin, having found
it extremely satisfactory. Indeed, 1T
may be said that vermin on the poul-
try or in the houses no longer cause
any appreciable annoyance in the
work of the station plant.
Formulae for the preparations which
are in use at the station were in the
first instance given the writer of this
bulletin by Mr.. r. G. Lowry of the
poultry department of Cornell Univer-
sity. These formulate have been pre-
scented by Mr. Lowry to his classes
for number of years. The poultry
department of Cornell University has
very kindly given it's consent to the
Maine Experiment Station to publish
these methods for the benefit OF those
interested in poultry in Maine.
Sources of Trouble
In keeping a poultry plant free from
lice there are two points of attack:
One, the birds themselves; the other,
the houses, nest boxes, roosting
boards, etc. For the birds themselves
experience has shown that the best
way to get rid of the lice is by the use
of a busting powder to be worked into
the feathers. In using any kind OF
lice powder on poultry, whether the
one described in this bulletin or some
other, it should always be remembered
that single application of powder is
not sufficient When there are lice
present on a bird there are always
unmatched eggs of lice (nits) present
too. The proper procedure is to follow
up the first application of powder with
second at an interval of four days
to a week. If the birds are badly in
tested at the beginning 1t may be
necessary to make still third applica-
ton To clean the cracks and crevices
of the woodwork of houses and nests
of lice and vermin liquid spray or
paint is probably the most desirable
form of application.
Remedies Recommended
The lice powder which the station
uses is made at a cost of only few
cents pound in the following way:
Take three parts of gasoline; one part
of crude carbolic acid; mix these to-
gether and add gradually, with stir
ring, enough plaster of Paris to take
up all the moisture. The liquid and
the dry plaster should be thoroughly
mixed and stirred so that the liquid
will be uniformly distributed through
the mass of plaster. When enough
plaster has been added, the resulting
mixture should be dry, pinkish brown
powder, having fairly strong carbolic
odor and a rather less pronounced
gasolene odor.
Do not use more plaster in mixing
than is necessary to blot up the liquid.

For broilers quick growth is desired,
but for laying and breeding stock reg
ular, continued growth is what is
wanted.
Little chickens confined in close
quarters take on flesh and fat at the
expense of bone and frame. Such birds
invariably are understood and will be
a failure as breeders and egg yielders.
Chickens are animals of habit and
they will always come for feed to the
place where they are regularly fed
On account of this habit, do not feed
them near the dwelling, or they will
always want to come to the dwelling
for feed, making litter about the house
and causing much annoyance. Move
the feeding vessels onto new grounds
frequently for sanitary reasons.

Work Done to Prevent ErrOFs That Crept Into Former Similar State DOcuments-Onicials
 iu City.

Henry B. Gray, president of the State Senate. and A. H. Carmichael Speaker of the House. were in Mont gomery yesterday, and both attached their signatures to the completed Journals of the respective houses for the extra session which has just drawn to an end. With the signing, the session becomes history.
 Since the close of the session. Aug ust "A, the clerks of the two houses, each with two assistants. have been busy with the compilation of the jour nals. After they had been completed. Attorney General Garber, at the re- quest of the Governor, checked them. to prevent the occurrence of errors which brought the Senate journal of the 1907 session into disrepute, and which was the source of invalidity of many statutes which had been enact- ed.
 The two journals are thus, proba- ply, the most carefully compiled doc- uments of record In the possession of the NState. When signed, they were turned over to Secretary of State Frank N. Julian, as official records.
 Both President Gray and Speak CT Carmichael reached Montgomery yes- terday morning from Birmingham. and repaired immediately to the Cap itol to sign the journals. They left during the afternoon.

 Erection of a New One.

Mayor Teague yesterday returned to the City Clerk the signed ordinance recently passed by the council open ing Lee Street
 At first the Mayor hesitated to sign the ordinance, believing that the meas ure as passed would close up Moulton Street simultaneously with the open ing of Lee. On investigation MT. Teague found that a former city coun- ell had passed an act closing Moufton Street and that the Lee Street ordi- nance is in no way affected.
 The L. and N Railroad Company has agreed to move that portion of It's freight depot which obstructs Lee street and a building will be put up by the company on the Frank Stol- lenwerck property between Lee and Moulton streets on the site of the old compress.

Marengo County People Are Gueuuing Over Plans of Engineering Corps-News of the

Selma. Sept. 7.-(special )--Rumors concerning contemplated railroad im- provements in the western and south- ern parts of the State continue to be heard here, and if these rumors devel- op. considerable railroad building will be under headway within the next year.
 From the Myrtlewood neighborhood In Marengo County 1t was reported to- day that recently a corps of engineers had been there running line from the terminus of the Louisville and Nash vile there on to Meridian. There were a number of men in the party. 1t was stated. and they did their work very fast and soon got out of that section.
 It Is not thought here that the Louis vile and Nashville would derive much benefit by the extension of its line out of Selma bya Myrtlewood and on to Meridian. On the other hand 1t is thought that the engineers are working on proposed line from the Birming- ham district by Selma and through to Mobile or Pensacola which road 1t Is said will be built by the Illinois Gen. traL

party of four hunters who were
out after buffalo and other game
in the year 1871. At that time
he says there were no settlers
in this part of the country. the
nearest habitation being over
on Spillman creek, and they be-
ing very few in number The
party was preparing to go into
camp for night, when Mr. G.
took his rifle and started down
the creek in search of game.
He walked directly down the bed
of the creek, which was dry at
the time, and had not proceeded
far when he heard the neigh of a
horse. He crept up the bank
and peering through the bushes
discovered a skulking party of
about twenty Indians. He lost
no time in rejoining his compan-
ions and warning them of his
discovery. The party pitched
their camp in the advantageous
position to be found, and pre-
pared for a possibly attack, be-
lieving rightly that the Indians
were following them for that
purpose. Being a hunting party,
all were well armed and with a
good supply of ammunition.
