The following formula for mixing q
spray is given in bulletin No. 69 of
the Iowa experiment station: "Take
one-half pound of hard soap and shave
it into one gallon of soft water. Put
it on the fire and bring it to a boil.
By this time the soap will have dis
solved. Then remove the soap solu-
tion from the fire and stir into it at
once while hot, two gallons of kero-
sene. This makes a thick creamy
emulsion which is made ready for use
by diluting with ten volumes of soft
water and stirring well. 1t can be
used as a spray, dip, or wash"
The above spray will kill all the
mites and eggs it comes in contact
with in five minutes. However, there
will no doubt be some which the spray
does not reach. 1t will therefore be
necessary to repeat the spraying two
or three times. The Iowa bulletin
suggests that after applying the spray
two or three times, repeat the follow
ing day.
There are numerous preparations
upon the market which have given
good results. At this station we have
used a product called "Firolium.
This we spray upon the roosts and
sides of the house, and by applying it
twice a year there is very little trou-
BILE with the mite question.

found in the adjoining lofts, thus
showing their tendency to wander A
very common place for the mite to
hide is under the straw in nest.
When the chicken goes on the roost or
in the nest the mite leaves its place of
hiding and crawls upon the fowl 1t
will only stay upon the fowl, as rule,
long enough to obtain its supply of
food, which is the chickens blood 1t
then leaves the fowl and returns to its
place of hiding. Thus it escapes the

How Mites Are Carried.
There are various ways by which
mites may be introduced into a flock
of chickens. Probably the most COM
mon of these is by introducing of a
new fowl to the flock from a neigh
boris without first taking the precau-
tion in seeing that it is free from
mites. They may also be carried from
one farm to another upon clothes or
shoes of the farmer. Or they may be
tranported upon farm wagons or ma
chinery.
These are only few of the innum-
cradle ways by which the distribution
of mites is made possible. Every
precaution should be taken, and when
a new fowl is introduced into the flock
it should first be examined well, and
if infested should receive thorough
dusting before being placed with the
other fowls.
Getting Rid of the Mite.
There are great many methods of
destroying the mite. Some of which
would be fumigating, burning with a
torch, and spraying.
Fumigating as a rule is impractical
bic, for in order to fumigate the house
thoroughly it must be made air tight.
Burning with a torch is not to be ad-
vised, for not only is there danger of
fire, but it is impossible to reach any
of the mites but those upon the sur
face. 1t has therefore been found
that spraying is the best method, for
by the thorough application of the
spray it has been found possible to
reach most of the hiding places.

Much business is to come before the
delegates to the Oregon Development
League which meets at Astoria during
the Astoria Centennial pageant. The
convention dates are August IA, Is
and 16, and the men whose pictures
are printed here are the ones who will
map out the program Of work for the
assembled delegates.
While meeting at Astoria, the dele
gates will be entertained by the AS
toria Centennial committee and much
of the success of the work of the
league will be developed at this con-
vention in astoria, City of Lights,
at time when the ocean breezes are
most acceptable to sweltering human
ity.
The complete program of the con-
vention topics has not been announced
by Secretary C. C. Chapman as yet.

The CHICKEN MITE.


Of all forms of vermin which prey
upon poultry probably none are more
harmful than the chicken mite. This
little fellow is called by scientists
"dermanyssus gallinae redi." With
such a name we would suppose him to
be quite a large creature. However,
the mite is so small that in many
cases it escapes notice from the farm
er or poultryman, and thus may be
permitted to carry on its work of dew
astation.
1t has been noted that in some cases
where hens have been infested with
mites, egg production has ceased.
Often setting hens will die upon the
nest, and when examined they appear
to be literally covered with mites.
Death seems to be due to an impover-
ishing of the blood caused by the suck
ing of the blood by the mites. In
other cases it has been found that a
setting hen has left the nest, and
when the nest was examined it was
found to be alive with these mites.
Not only do mites attack setting
hens, but laying hens and young
chicks as well. AS high as 80 per
cent of young chicks have been lost
by the evil work of the mite. In such
cases the setting hen has been able
to withstand the attacks, but when
the chicks leave the she'll the mites
crawl upon them and suck their life
blood, leaving them in such condi-
tion that death results.
Habits of the Mite.
The term "robber" may be truth
fully applied to the mite, for most of
it's work is done at night or in the
darkness. Their hiding places are in
the cracks and corners, also under the
roosts and in any place where they
may be hidden from view. In these
secure places they lay their eggs and
hatch their young. Great masses
have been found at some distance from
the chicken house. For instance,
where the chicken house is built
against the barn, mites have been
