An affected bird may live for long
time and sometimes even get well, but
it is seldom worth anything. The
treatment consists in killing the af-
fected birds and removing the cause.
Exposure TO cold and dampness is
among the chief causes. A dry, warm
house, especially one with a curtain
front to provide for plenty of ventila-
ton without drafts, is one of the best
preventive measures. The curtained
roosting apartment also helps to keep
the fowls from catching cold in severe
weather.
Lice and Mites.
The mcst troublesome parasites Of
poultry are lice and mites. These
pests are very different in their ha bits.
The lice remain on the bird all the
time, eating the feathers and skin.
They are not usually present in large
enough numbers to do any consider.
able damage. except to sitting hens
and small chicks. One Of the most
effective means Of combating lice is
the dust bath. This is simply con-
venient sized box filled with fine dust
in which the hens can roll. Lice and
other insects breathe through tiny
holes along the sides Of their bodies.
The dust fills these holes, and they die
of suffocati ton. A little turpentine add
ed to the dust bath makes it more eff
fective
The dust treatment is usually all that
is required to keep the lice in cheek.
Where they get unusually bad pyre-
thrum or tobacco dust blown in among.
the feathers is effective This pia:.
takes too long to be used extensively
however. Lice frequently make their
way from the hen to the chicks at
Matching time and often cause the
death of many Of them The best way
TO prevent this, of course. is to see
that the hens are free from lice be
fore the chickens hatch. One of the
best remedies is to dust the chicks
with insect powder or paint them
around the neck and under the wings
with sulphur and lard mixture.
Mites are much worse pests than
lice They live in the crevices in the
walls and roosts. attacking the fowls
at night. They do not eat the skin
but bore through it and suck the blood
Mites are so small that they car

The distribution OF the water is an
important part OF supplementary irri-

loss must be reduced to a minimum.
The canvas hose. made by stitching
together the edges OF a strip Of cam

practical and economical method OF
distributing limited water supply.
The slip joint pipe is also a good
method but the first cost is the chief
objection to IT,
The method of irrigation most COM

set and seed planted along the edge

The flooding or sprinkling method
requires more cultivation to keep the

SUCCESS ON DRY LAND FARM
"ost important Factor Is Supplement
tary lgation-Practice Linn
tied to Water Supply.

CBy w. II. LAUCK, Irrigation Investiga-
ton. United States Department OF Agri-
culture)
There are many things that make
TOT success on a dry land farm and
nome The most important of these
Is supplementary irrigation. This
does not conflict in any way with the
dry land work, but rather assists by
utilizing one of the resources which
nature has provided. However, the
extent to which the practice may be
applied is limited to the water supply
available.
One of the first and most important
things for the dry land farmer to as
certain is whether a water supply can
be developed from the underground
water, or stored during the torrential
rain storms.
Where a water supply cannot be de-
veloped, the homesteader soon be-
comes discouraged and he abandons
his claim.
The proper location for the well can
often be decided upon by studying the
wells in the immediate neighborhood.
Where the distance is too great for
/ this method, test holes may be put
down with two or three-nch auger
and light derrick, made of 2x4-inch
timbers.
The points desirable to know are:
% Depth to water level; (2) material
encountered in sinking test well; 60
amount the water lowers in the WILL
during pumping; and ca kind Of well
most desirable. whether drilled. bored
or dug.
With this information. some idea OF
the amount of water which can be ex
pected in the locality can be formed
thus deciding to what extent irriga
ton can be practiced.
After water has been located. the
method for making the well must be
decided. Where competent well drill
ers can be obtained, the drilled well II
the most satisfactory. especially II 4
is necessary to go to any great depth
The most important thing to ascer
tain in a drilled we'll, as in other meth
DDS. is the size of perforations in thu

This can be determined in the ties

ANGRY FISH BITES ANGLER
Brooklyn Man, the Sufferer, Sends
Head to Pasteur Institute, Fear
Ing Rabies.

Whether a fish can have hydro
phobia Is a question that Fred
Henry of Hancock street, Brooklyn.
would like to have settled, and for
that reason he has sent TO the Pas
teur institute in New York the head
OF a pickerel that bit him at Swarts-
wood lake recently, says Newton On.
j. correspondent of the New York
Press. Henry was fishing in a boat
that was trifle leaky and he took off
his shoes and socks His first catch
was pickerel weighing three pounds.
When he yanked the fish it Topped
around in the bottom OF the boat in
lively fashion.
AS Henry was batting up again he
felt sharp pain in one Of his feet,
and, looking down, saw that the pick
erel had made a jump and fastened
its teeth in his toe. He tried to kick
the fish away, but the pickerel held
on and Henry had to use the handle
Of his landing net 10 pry open the
fish's jaws before he got free of 1t
The toe started to swell where the
teeth had punctured it, and Henry be
came worried. He says he thinks il
possible that the pickerel may have
had hydrophobia and, as precaution
airy measure, he sent the head to the
Pasteur institute.
