SPRAYING TO DESTROY
CHICKEN. MITES
By PROFESSOR J. G. HALPIN
WIJcsnsin Collage Of AerIculturs

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. NN;NXXMNNNXNNN
Chicken mites suck the blood of the
fowls and weaken them They live in
the house and lay their eggs in crew
ices. They suck the blood of the
fowls during the night. During hot
weather they multiply rapidly, each
female laying hundreds of eggs.
They can be killed by contact insect
icides. One of the best of these is
kerosene. This Is more effective than
kerosene emulsion, and although it is
a little more expensive to use, Is Is
much better especially in small houses.
1t should be applied thoroughly with
a spray pump, care being taken to get
1t in all of the cracks around the
spraying should be repeated in about
two weeks. Ordinarily two thorough
sprayings will rid the house of the
pest.
Another way to destroy mites is to
thoroughly whitewash the house and
work the whitewash into the cracks
with a broom or brush. Ordinary
whitewash to which two parts crude
carbolic acid has been added will give
the results desired. This is best ap-
piled with spray pump.
Most any of the standard coal tar
disinfectants will kill mites. A five
per cent solution should be used.
There are many of these products on
the market, Zenoleum, Crenolin, Creo.
sote, ETC., and they may be purchased
at most any drug store or poultry sup
ply house.

each side, the side pieces Of the frame
being held firmly together by three
fourths-inch rods threaded at each
end. These rods serve as ladder.
The concrete has to be mixed much
drter than for pouring, and is there
fore more difficult to handle. If blocks
could be given the full amount of wa
ter and then permitted to stand until
thoroughly set before removing the
forms, there would be no objections to
a concrete block, but as 1t Is, linn
tied use Of water Is necessary to OBJ
tain a dry mixture which will permit
of an early removal of the forms. The
common method Of block making is
to lamp the concrete into the form
with just enough water to dampen
the mixture. The bottom of the form
is independent of the side walls, max
ing possible the removal of these walls
as soon as the block is completed. The
block and bottom are then removed to
the curing floor and left to cure The
block should not be removed from the
process is carried on by covering the
blocks with slough hay or gunny sack
ing and sprinkling thoroughly once or
twice each day foE four weeks.
Concrete machines are more or less
expensive, but a home made form
which will answer every purpose can
be made by anyone who is handy with
tools. The form can be made Of wood
and galvanized sheet IRON An adj
Unstable clamp at one end permits
opening the form to release the block.
Such forms are inexpensive, and it is
decidedly advantageous to have three
or four of them, as this would per-
NIT leaving the blocks in the for,
longer time, affording a much better
opportunity for settling. The blocks
should be made as large as can be cas-
lily handled, the preferable size being
about "a by by s inches. The cores
used in making them should taper to-
ward one end to facilitate their
removal.

The concrete block silo has been in
successful use for several years. Many
have been built which have not been
entirely satisfactory, but this has re-
suited from a lack of reinforcement
or an insufficient amount Of cement. A
properly constructed block wall should
be equal to solid type in efficiency
and durability The paramount diff
ficulty has been due to neglect on
the part of the block builder who has
not used sufficient cement or reinforce
ment Block silos should be built
upon good foundations, special prep
arations being made for this by dig
ging trench two feet wide around the
bottom Of the excavation.
The blocks may be purchased or
made at home, hollow two piece blocks
being most satisfactory. Silage is
not liable to freeze In silos of this char
acter; in fact it has been preserved in
excellent condition in weather 20 de-
grees below zero. Of course, these
silos were well constructed, the doors
were never opened except at feeding
time, and a good chute connected the
barns and silos which further aided
in keeping the silage in normal condi-
ton,
The hollow block is the cheaper
method of wall construction, and
should be considered as the most de-
sirable for concrete block silos. This
method of construction will greatly re-
duce the amount of material and labor
in the building of these blocks. The
blocks should be laid in a good bed
of cement and reinforced with three
eighths-inch rods placed between
every layer of block for the first 10
feet above ground in silo Il feet
in diameter and Sc feet high. Above
this height the reinforcement should
be placed between every second lay
er. The doors may be continuous or
separate openings, but If of the former
style arrangements should be made so
as to insure a continuous reinforce
ment around the silo. This may be
accomplished by securing the rein

QUEER DISEASE IS
IN UNITED STATES
Many Here Afflicted With Odd
AiIment, Says Prof.
Munyon.
GREWS0ME CREATURES
VERY COMMON,
FINDS EXPERT.

Many people in the United States are
atnlcted with queer disease, according
10 statement yesterday by Professor
James M. Munyon. He made the follow
ing remarkable and rather grewsome
statement:
Many persons who come and write to
my headquarters at 6Sd and Jefferson
SITS, Philadelphia, Pa. think they are
suffering from a simple stomach trouble,
when In reality they are the victims OF
an entirely different disease-that OF
tape worm. These tape worms are huge
internal parasites, which locate in the
upper bowel and consume q large per-
centage of the nutriment in undigested
food. They sometimes grow to a length
OF 70 ty to sixty feet. One may have a
tare worm for years and never know
the cause of his or her i'll health.
Persons who are suffering from ono
of these creatures become nervous. weak
and irritable, and tire at the least ex-
ertion. The tape worms rob one OF am
bition and vitality and strength, but they
are rarely fatal.
''The victim of this disease is apt to
believe that ne is suffering from chronic
stomach trouble, and doctors for years
without relief. This Is not the fault OF
the physicians he consults, for there is
no absolute diagnosis thai will tell posi-
lively that one is not victim of tape
worm.
1.-The most common symptom of this
trouble is an abnormal appetite. At
times the person is ravenously hungry
and cannot get enough to eat. At other
There is a gnawing, faint sensation at
the pit of the stomach. and the victim
has headaches. fits Of dizziness and nau-
sea. He cannot sleep at night and often
thinks he is suffering from nervous pros
tration.
at have a treatment which has had
wonderful success in eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In the
course of it's regular action in aiding
digestion. and Kidding the blood. kidneys
and liver of impurities 1t has proven fatal
to these great worms. If one has a tape
worm, this treatment WILL in nine cases
out of ten, stupefy and pass 1t away. but
If not the treatment will rebuild the
rundown person., who is probably suffer-
ing from stomach trouble and a general
anaemic condition. My doctors report
marvellous sue, ess here with this treat
ment Fully a dozen persons have passed
these worms. but they are naturally retl-
cent about discussing them, and of course
we cannot violate their confidence by CIV
ing their names to the public"

The Crown for the Faithful.

The virtue of fidelity is not condi-
toned by great opportunities and re.
sponsibilities. 1t has nothing to do
with splendor of circumstances. 1t
needs no broad arena, no crowd of
spectators "He that is faithful in
that which is least is faithful also in
much The humblest task is to be
done as unto God. Our gift, our tai
ent, may be insignificant, but it is to
be used, not buried. What the world
calls success is often the shipwreck
of the soul The dominion of Gods
world is the blessing of those who
are "farIhful in very little" faith
full unto DEATH The crown is not
for success, not for genius, not for
position, not for greatness, but for
faithfulness. Lies WORK and warfare
are to test and train our fidelity.

Carp SEEMING UP to Governor.

NdIP 0CintH9 Up 10 SONCTtOF'
Both sides of the question oil
SEEMING carp in Wisconsin lakes
and streams were heard by Gov
ernor McGovern in the executive Of
fee in response to notice of hear
ing sent out by State Game Warden
and sportsmen took the floor against
further SEEMING, declaring that sein-
ing destroys the game fish without
effectually Kidding the waters of the
carp.
Mayor J. C. Schubert, F. w. Kar-
stems, E. n Warner, w. w. Warner
and other local men spoke. Assem-
blyman A. H. Long of Prairie du
Chen spoke in favor of further SEM
ing, to the end that carp may be
totally removed. Campers at Lake
Kegonsa and Waubesa were present
in considerable numbers to oppose
SEEMING.
C. NJ. Colladay of Lake Kegonsa de-
clared that II the lakes are not rid of
carp in five years the country will
face an epidemic worse than cholera.
Governor McGovern took an active
part In the discussions and asked
questions freely. At the close he
took the whole question under advise
ment.
F. W. Karstens said that Prof.
George Wagner of the University of
Wisconsin, who is connected with the
fish work of the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, declared to him that he
is much opposed to SEEMING and that
the practice can have no appreciate
effect in preserving the game fish.
Governor McGovern said the state
cannot be interested in the CONNER
cial aspect of the matter and that the
only question to be considered was
the effects SEEMING will have on the
destroying of carp and preserving of
game fish.
H. o. Jonas said that on a recent
investigation at Woodward's Grove he
found that the pickerel had been de-
stroyed and he saw thousands of
carp. He advised seining under the
supervision of the state game warden's
department.

Lauds New State Road Aid System.
Preaching the gospel Of good roads
and showing that with the state aid
provided under the new highway law,
the future Of good roads in Wisconsin
will be largely determined by towns,
counties and public spirited citizens,
for the power of initiative is granted
them, John A. Hardwood of Jefferson,
former state senator and chairman Of
the state highway commission, ad-
dressed the Dodge county board Of SUI
pervisors and others at Juneau on the
features Of the new state aid highway
law.
This address was part Of the pro-
gram adopted by the committee to
arouse interest in the new good roads
movement, plan similar to that
adopted by the industrial insurance
commission to explain the workings
Of the Industrial insurance act. 1t is
the plan of the commissioners to ex-
plain the law wherever possible. Mr..
Hazelwood said in part:
"This state has stood practically
still in the matter of building perma-
nent highways during the past decade,
while on the other hand, some IS per
cent. of the states of the union have
made marked progress. Central gov
ernments all over the world have gen.
orally employed the policy of state or
government aid. Most all of the
states in the United States have adopt
ed some form of a state aid policy.
