TO KEEP LICE FROM POULTRY
One Of Most Difficult Problems That
Confronts Chicken Fancier-
Proper Procedure.
(By R. G. wEATHERsToNE.)


One of the most difficult problems
which the poultry keeper has to meet
is that Of keeping his poultry houses
and stock reasonably free from lice,
mites and other external parasites.
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.
In using any kind of lice powder on
the birds themselves, it should always
be remembered that a single appli-
cation 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 first appli-
cation of powder with second at an
interval of four days to a week. If
the birds are badly infested at the
beginning it may be necessary to make
still third application. To clean the
cracks and crevices of the woodwork

Again the Poor Fat Man.

Among the passengers on down.
town car the other evening were fat
man, lean man, who proved to be
deaf, and couple Of giggly girls. On
one of the side streets German band
was engaged in making life miserable
for the residents of the neighborhood.
The fat man shifted uneasiIy in his
seat and remarked sarcastically to the
lean man in low tone, "Music."
The lean man put his hand to his
ear and said, "Eh?'
Music" repeated the man in loud
er tones.
beg pardon, | am not able to hear"
said the lean man.
Music" yelled the fat man, so loud
that the passengers all Uttered and
the little giggly girls all grew red in
the face.
"Oh," said the lean man as he
turned around and looked about him.
The little German band was out OF
sight by this time, and the passengers
laughed immOderately at the vain at
tempts Of the unfortunate man to find
the object of the fat mans comments.
Fat men are proverbially good ma
tured. and by that time the oddly Of
the situation had dawned upon this
particular fat man.
Hum" he said, you folks needn't
laugh. Our friend saw fully as much
music as you and heard"

OF houses and nests of lice and vermin
liquid spray or paint Is probably the
most desirable form of application.
A splendid lice powder may be made
at cost of only few cents a pound
in the following way: 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. 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 pow
der having fairly strong carbolic
odor and a rather less pronounced gas
oline odor.
Do not use more plaster in mixing
than is necessary to blot up the liquid.
This powder is to be worked into the
feathers of the birds affected with YER
min. The bulk of the application
should be in the fluff around the vent
and on the ventral side of the body
and in the fluff under the wings. It's
efficiency, which is greater than that
of any other lice powder known to
the writer, can be very easily demon
strated by anyone to his own salts
faction. Take bird that is covered
with lice and apply the powder in the
manner just described. After a lapse
of about minute, shake the bird,
loosening its feathers with the fingers
at the same time, over a clean piece
of paper. Dead and dying lice will
drop on the paper in great numbers.
Anyone who will try this experiment
will have no further doubt of the Won
derful efficiency and value of this
powder.
For a spray or paint to be applied
to rOosting boards, nest boxes or walls
and floor Of the hen houses the follow
ing preparation is used:-3 parts of
kerosene and l part crude carbolic
acid. This is stirred up when used
and may be applied with any of the
hand spray pumps or with brush.
In both of these formulate it is highly
important that crude carbolic acid
be used instead of the purified product
Be sure and insist to the druggist on
getting crude carbolic acid. 1t is a
dark brown, dirty looking liquid, and
its value depends on the fact that II
contains tar oil and tar bases in adj
dition to the pure phenol (carbolic
acid).

Natural Tlmeplece.

There is no need for clocks on the
Aegean sea any day when the sun Is
shining. There nature has arranged
her only timepiece, one that does not
vary though the centuries pass. This
natural time marker is the largest SUM-
dial in the world. Projecting into the
blue waters of the sea is large pro-
montory which lifts its head 5000 feet
above the waves. AS the sun swings
round. the pointed shadow OF the
mountain just touches one after the
other a number OF small islands,
which are at exact distances apart
and act as hour marks on the great
dial.

There are disciples without number
who feel they are called to preach the
gospel of good roads. They know lit
tie or nothing Of the subject, but the
desire Is strong and impelling. 1t re-
minds one of The young divinity stu
dent with very little aptitude for the
profession he proposed to adopt and
from which the bishop was trying to
disuade him because he regarded him
as wholly inapt. The man maintained
he was called to preach and therefore
he was to obey the summons. The
bishop asked him in what manner the
call had come. He said he had Lad
dream in which he saw outlined in
the heavens clearly in letters of white
"P. c." which he interpreted to mean
to go and preach Christ. The bishop
told him he had no doubt he had seen
the vision as stated, but he had misin-
terpreted it, and that the letters "P.
c." in his case meant to pillow corn.
1t is so with the good roads advocates,
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1911-07-06

many Of them doing more harm than
good.
One enthusiast, who has been much
In evidence, is telling the people how
they can get good roads without
money. He might as well try to boost
himself over fence by pulling at his
boot straps.
The good roads question is a ire
mendously big one and must be han
died in a big way. No one can mas
ter the subject in short time. The
writer has spent Is years digging into
It from every angle and he feels that
there is yet much to learn. Some good
roads enthusiasts have proposed the
building of great national highways
connecting all the capitals of the
states, or great trans-continental
roadway from Boston to San Francis
CO, or from Chicago to the gulf. Such
roads would be tremendously expen-
sive, and about the only thing that
they could be used for would be as
speedways for automobiles. These are
not the roads that the public needs.
In the building of highways there
are two great questions involved. One
is the economic advantages to be
gained from the transportation view
point, and this means good rocds from
the farm home to the market town,
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1911-07-06

over which the food supply OF the
world must be moved. The other
question is one of the social and edu-
road construction.
Fortunately it is true that the same
highways that would give the largest
returns from an economic standpoint,
are the roads best suited to give the
highest advancement. Hence the need
is not these great, broad, expensive
highways, extending hundreds of miles
in any given direction, but a network
of good roads, nine to twelve feet
wide, covering the main highways Of
the country and centering in the mar
ket towns upon the railways. The
wagon roads are the veins of COM
merce the railways the arteries. The
largest public good will come from
such a condition that there will be a
free and uninterrupted movement
upon both the highways and railways
throughout the year.
Among the economic advantages is
that it enables the farmer to keep in
close touch with the market and
make his deliveries when In his judg-
ment the best price can be realized.
There is no doubt that large per-
centage-the major portion-of the
farm produce for the last so years in
the Mississippi valley has been sold
and moved with road conditions as
the determining factor 1t is, "Hooray
boys, we must get this grain to mar
ket because the roads are good" and
not necessarily because the price is

QUAKE SHOCKS IN FRISCO
Most Severe Since Great Disaster
Terrify Inhabitants.

San Francisco and large part OF
Central California and parts of Ne
vada were shaken by the most severe
earthquake shock since the big shake
Of five years ago.
There were two distinct shocks,
separated only by second OF calm.
The first shock was comparatively
slight but in the second there were
two violent wrenchings of the earth
which caused tall buildings to totter
ominously. A chunk of the granite
cornice of the Bank of California
crashed to the pavement but for
tunately no one was in the way. The
coping of the Hall of Justice. one OF
the few buildings to survive the

cracked by earth wrenchings of the
afternoon and a good deal of vain
scoting in the building was split.

PUTTING 1T RATHER NEATLY
Piece Of Humor That Lifted Diffident
Professor to the Highest
Summer of Joy.

1t Is told that after Professor Ay-
toun had made proposals of marriage
to Miss Emily Jane Wilson, daughter
Of Christopher North, he was, as a
matter of course, referred to her ia
Their. AS the professor was uncom-
monty diffident, he said to her:
Emily, my dear, you must speak to
him for me. / could not summon
courage to speak to the professor on
this subject"
Papa is in the library" said the
lady.
Then you had better go to him,
said the professor, land l will wait
here"
There being apparently no help for
it, the lady proceeded to the library.
"Papa's answer is pinned to the
back of my dess," said Miss Wilson,
as she re-entered the room.
Turning around, the delighted sutton
read these words:

Success.

at its best. This hurrying OF product
to market swamps the railroad COM
panies and they are unable to move
the freight and enables the shrewd
dealers in the city to manipulate
prices, pushing them up or down, and
to reap rich harvest out of the farm
er on the one hand and the consumer
on the other. Colossal fortunes have
been built up through the grain ex-
changes. The principal factor that
enables them to do this is bad and at
times impossible roads.
If good roads advocates will confine
their talk and recommendations to the
highways that will serve the people,
and such highways as the people can
afford to build, much greater progress
will be made.
In some instances good roads can be
built with gravel at hand at from $500
to $1,000 a mile. Where the gravel
must be shipped some distance the
cost will be double. When crushed
stone is used and must be shipped
by train, the expense will be any
where from $4,000 to $4,000 a mile.
Even at $4,000 a mile it would pay
well to build good roads upon the
