KIDDING POULTRY OF MITES
Insect Powder Used With Success by
Maine Experiment Station and
at Cornell.

The following formula for Kidding
poultry of mites and other external
parasites has been used with great
success by the Maine experiment sta
ton and in the Cornell university.
This powder is made at cost of only
few cents per pound. Take three
parts of gasoline and one part of crude
carbolic acid. Mix these together and
add gradually, with stirring enough
plaster Of paris to take up all the
moisture. Stir so thoroughly that the
liquid will be uniformly distributed
through the plaster. The resulting
mixture should be a dry, pinkish-
brown powder, having a fairly strong
carbolic odor. Work this powder into
the feathers of the affected fowls. If
one application is not enough, a Sec
ond should follow at an interval of
four days. If birds are badly infested,
a third application may be necessary
A spray, or paint, to use on nest boxes,
walls, floors and roosts of hen houses
is made of three parts gasoline to one
part crude carbolic acid. 1t is abso-
lutely essential that crude carbolic
acid should be used.

which shows that in 1910 nearly $751;
100000 was spent in the fight against
tuberculosis, as opposed to $8,000,000
spent in 1909 The largest item of ex-
pense in 1910 was for treatment in
sanatoria and hospitals, $11, 376,5 800 be-

The statement declares that the
most significant fact in the survey Of
the years work is the increase in the
percentage Of public money spent.
While in 1909 53.5 per cent. of the
total expenditure was from federal,
state, municipal or county funds, 62.6
per cent. came from public appropria-

public money spent in tuberculosis
work this past year was S9,267 800, or
