KILL THE POULTRY INSECTS
Several Remedies, If Properly Applied,
VIII Eradicate Mites-Few Ef-
fective Formulas.
(By c. NJ. WELLSO


Several remedies. If properly ap
plied. Will kill the mites. The eggs
remain. however, in every part of the
nouse-in the roof, the cracks. the
nest boxes and roosting places. So
you must paint every part of the
mouse, not forgetting the inside roof.
and there are many effective formulas
lor this. | reproduce some, and which
one is the most convenient for you to
use accept It:
Take one gallon of coal tar "a by.
product from any gas plant). four
ounces OF carbolic acid or four ounces
OF creoiin and one quart of kerosene.
MIX well and apply with a paint brush.
One most easily made and obtained
is one gallon Of ordinary whitewash
made OF lime. one-half pound Of sui
phur and four ounces of either creolin
or carbolic acid, to be mixed and ap-
piled with paint brush.
Either of these formulas will kill
the eggs and you should not have fur
ther trouble in six months.
The insects that infest the grass
and weeds are troublesome for the
fowls. There are ticks and gnats
which may cause sores on the head.
put an ordinary salve rubbed on the
affllcted part will cure 1t.
The chicken lice remain on the
fowls at all times and must be suffo-
Gated with dust of some kind or by
dipping the fowl In disinfectant
which is not poisonous to the fowl.
Many people dust their fowls month
ly with a powder, and the formulas
following are probably as good as any:
or one pound of flowers of sulphur
and four ounces of coal tar camphor
(naphthaline flakes) use four pounds
OF very fine plaster of paris. Mix
thoroughly and keep dry In a closed
vessel Use by busting among the
feathers.
Another mixture is made of one
pound of air Stacked lime, one pound
of snuff and five pounds of road dust.
Mix thoroughly and use as above d.
rected.
One of the most effective ways OF
giving the fowls comfort is keeping a
dust bath box about four feet square
and six inches deep filled to within
two inches of the top with wood ashes
Ito which Is sometimes added pound
of sulphur). The fowls will dust them
selves and practically rid themselves
of lice. The old methods are some
times entirely effective, and they are
certainly simple. The fowls enjoy
them, and you are saved much extra
work

METHOD OF RAISING SHEEP
Economical and Profitable Manner Is
Described That Seems About az
Practical as Any Other.

A neighbor Of mine has q way OF
handling sheep which seems to me to
be about as inexpensive and as profit
able as any, though some of your
sheep experts may criticise it. says a
writer in the National Stockman.
Each year he breeds so good feeced
Merino ewes to a Sou.hdown ram.
He saves bluegrass pasture all fall
for these ewes and they run In It all
winter, with hay either in rack or
stack for them to run 70 at will. He
feeds little grain In the latter part
of the winter, corn and oats mixed.
and he estimates the quantity at
about half bushel of the mixture for
each eve. The ewes lamb with early
grass and the lambs are sold in July
without any feed. He averages one
lamb per eve and, Of course. the
price depends on the market. The
ewes have been shearing about 50
worth Of wool in recent years and the
lambs selling for SO to $4 apiece.
These figures he regards as satisfac-
tory considering the small amount Of
labor and grain involved. have
thought that his lambs might be made
to bring more money with some feed
ing, but he says 1t would require more
time and attention during the busy
part of the year and be prefers his
present plan. 1t would not work we'll
everywhere, but 1t is all right where
the winters are not too severe and
good bluegrass pastures can be had.
The fine-wool eve Is an excellent
mother for one lamb, and the South
down Merino eve Is easy to keep,
hardy and produces good fleece, but
sometimes 1t is hard to buy the right
kind for this work.
