TO KEEP LICE FROM POULTRY
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 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 bird
there are always unmatched eggs of
lice Cnits') present, too. The proper
procedure is to follow up a first appli-
cation of powder with a 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

METHOD OF. KEEPING YOUNG
Remarkably Sound Advice for the
Woman Who Has Some Years
of Life to Her Credit.

The way to ward OF old age Is not
to fear it, not to allow ones self to
be oppressed by the dread of advanc-
Ing years. Use only legitimate pre-
ventives and avoid trying experiments
with preparations not Endorsed by
physicians. Do not wear toilettes in
tended for young girls, they only add
years to the appearance. Keep up
your interest in the young, but do not
envy them. Retire with dignity from
the struggle, do not pose as your
daughters rival. Above all, surround
your life with sweet. true affections
which prevent the heart from growing
bitter. Do not lose interest in the
growing events of the day; do not fall
behind the times and do not harp on
other and better days. To those who
come to you for advice be always kind
and sympathetic. AS you advance in
years preserve carefully your personal
appearance, for once lost it may not
be regained, save by strenuous effort.
Your costumes should be simple and
unpretentious, yet graceful. These
rules, carefully and sensibly followed,
will keep you young and attractive

COMMON DISEASE AMONG PIGS
Thumps is Caused by Overlooking and
Lack of Exercise-Best Plan
Is to Prevent Disorder.
(By W. II. UNDERWOOD

Thumps is a common disease
among pigs and is caused by over
feeding and lack of exercise The dis
ease is easily prevented by careful
feeding and seeing that the pigs get
plenty of exercise Unless promptly
dealt with when pigs are first seized,
the disease is pretty certain to harm
them seriously. In quite a number of
instances they die. The most promi-
nent indication of thumps is a jerky
motion at the TANKS in connection
with their breathing The nerves of
the diaphragm are affected, hence the
trouble is sometimes called spasms of
the diaphragm. In some instances
there is wheeling. The affected ami
mails soon lose thrift and even though
they recover they are more or less
stunted for good long time, suhse-
quently. Medicines cannot do much of
any good for pigs affected with
thumps. The best plan is to prevent
the disorder. and this can be done by
feeding no more than the pigs will
eat up clean, and see that they get
exercise. In winter pigs are inclined
to remain in bed, and in such cases it
is we'll to compel them to exercise by
chasing them about with a switch.

SANITARY EARNS FOR SHEEP
Need Not Be Built for Warmth, but
Must Be Dry and Well Ventilated
Drafts Are Fatal

Sheep barns are not as expensive
as those for cattle, horses, or hogs
Tor the simple reason that they need
not be built for warmth. Let them
be dry and well ventilated and the
mock will thrive in the coolest of win
ter weather. That dampness is fatal
was amply demonstrated on a farm
near Madison, Wis The owner te,e-
phoned to the university that his
sneep were dying, and that an expert
should be sent out to determine the
cause. The instructor no sooner
stepped into the barn and got his
shoes filled with water than he jumped
back and said, Il know already Wa
ter"
The barn had been built against a
s1dehiU and no attention paid to the
drainage. AS result, the heavy thaw
ing OF spring caused the moisture to
just seep through one Of the founda-
ton walls in streams, covering the
floor four inches deep. Pneumonia
then wiped out the flock in very
short time
Sheep barns should not be built on
low or marshy tracts, but on high
elevated areas SO that the water may
drain away. They should be set in
such manner as to form wind
break against the prevailing cold
winds from the northwest A yard
should always be connected with this
Wlndbreak, as sheep should be driven
out Of doors every time the weather
permits.
The ventilation must be perfect
The King system is probably the most
convenient yet devised, although

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 a few cents 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 a 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 a bird that is covered
with lice and apply the powder in the
manner just described. After lapse
of about a minute, shake the bird,
loosening it's 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 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 a 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 It is
dark brown, dirty looking liquid, and
its value depends on the fact that it
contains tar oil and tar bases in adj
dition to the pure phenol (carbolic
acid1.
