Oregon and Washington Specially Conditions

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 it's place of
hiding and crawls upon the fowl. 1t
will only stay upon the fowl, as a 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
attention of the attendant.
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 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
new fowl is introduced into the flock
it should first be examined well, and
if infested should receive a thorough
busting 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 rule is impractica-
BILE, for in order to fumigate the house
thoroughly it must be made air tight.
Burning with 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.

BACTERIA IN THE DAIRY.

suit of Use of Bacteria.
By DIR. E. G. Peterson, Oregon Agricultural

By DIR. E. G. Peterson, Oregon Agricultural

Creameries and dairies which are
run on any considerable scale now use
what is called starter. A starter
is simply growth of Tactic acid bac-
terra (bacteria which produce Tactic
acid from the sugar in the milk upon
some suitable food, as sterile milk, or
beef extract. The starter is added to
the pasteurized milk or cream to pro-
duce the right kind of change in the
milk or cream for butter and cheese
making.
Usually the right kind of sourine
occurs naturally, but it cannot be de-
pended upon. Very frequently the
product becomes ropy or stringy OF
bitter, or it tastes or smells in an un-
desirable way. 1t is to avoid these
undesirable conditions that cultures Of
the right kind of bacteria are prepar-

The following formula for mixing a
spray is given in bulletin No. 50 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 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 product called "Firolium."
This we spray upon the roosts and
sides of the house, and by applying it
twice year there is very little trou-
BILE with the mite question. '.''.

THE CHICKEN MITE.
By A. G. Lunn. o. A. C.

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 name we would suppose him to
be quite 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 onits 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
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
mems, Dut laying mems 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 shell 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
its 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

cream which has previously been pas
teurized in order to remove the unde-
sirable bacteria. The inoculated
cream is after incubation allowed to
ripen.
In the use of starter, to be sue
cessful the dairyman must be first of
all extremely cleanly. 1t is obvious
that it would be valueless to inoculate
milk with desirable organism and at
the same time allow by slovenly meth
DDS the entrance of other kinds of bac-
terra.
The work done by the right kinds of
organismsm would be offset by the
work of the others.
The culture is sent out in a small
bottle. A bottle of milk is pasteur-
lied and the culture added to the milk,
which is next set aside until it coagu-
lates, when it is added to cans of pas
teurized milk.
The principle back of the use of the
starter is that of replacing harmful or
useless bacteria by those with the
power to produce exactly the right
sort of chemical change in the cream.
1t is obvious therefore that method
which would destroy all the bacteria
in the bottles of milk which are to be
added to the cans for 'ripening pur-
poses would be most desirable.
For this reason there has recently
been put into use a method of steriliz-
ing instead of pasteurizing (pasteuriz-
ing, of course, destroys only certain
percentage of the bacteria present. J
The apparatus necessary in this oper-
alton is simple metal retainer of
some sort which can be connected with
the main steam supply of the cream
cry. A simple boiler is sometimes
used. A rather close fitting Hid on
this sort of steamer will allow tenn
perature Of 100 degrees C. inside.
Heating at this temperature for thirty
minutes on four successive days will
completely sterilize the milk in a
quart bottle. To this sterilized milk
is added the commercial culture of
Tactic acid bacteria, which of course
rapidly multiply and after an incuba-
tion of twenty-four hours may be add
ed to the cans of pasteurized milk.
In these operations loose cotton
plugs are used to prevent the entrance
Of the bacteria of the air into the bot
ties. In making transfers.. or if for
any other purpose the plugs are re-
moved, care must be taken to prevent
the plugs coming in contact with any
surface, which of course would result
in contamination of the milk when
the plugs are replaced.
This method of handling starters by
means of sterilized milk has met with
success, and is recommended to those
who have the facilities and inclination
for its use. 1t has been used with en-
tire success in the Corvallis creamery;
and results from outside the state, not
ably from Michigan, where it was
applied under the direction of the ex-
pertinent station of the state, justify
its recommendation. 1t requires only
absolute cleanliness on the part of the
operator and attention to the details
Of the operation.
The department of bacteriology of
the Oregon experiment station pro-
poses to publish bulletin on this SUBJ
iect which will give instructions for
.he use and results of the use of the
sterile method of handling starters.
