LOUISE is SOURCE OF WORRY
Energy Fowl Uses in Fighting Para.
site Uses Up Feed Intended for
Production of Eggs.
(By A. C. sMITH.)


The body-louse crawls rapidly
around the body Of the fowl, irritating
the skin with it's very rough, flle-like
claws and is consequently very annoy
ing to the fowls, and very expensive
to the poultryman, for the energy that
the fowl expends in fighting lice uses
up feed that should be used for
growth, the accumulation of fat. and
for egg production.
When a hen has access to q bed of
road dust, fine dry loan, sand, or
sifted coal ashes, she will rid herself
of many body lice, but she cannot
get rid Of all of them without the aid
of some destroying agent applied
regularly at intervals of a few weeks.
These lice breathe through very
small tubes or pores, and by covering
these with oil or filling them with
very fine powder, breathing is pre-
vented and the lice are smothered. On
account of the hens long feathers, it
is easier to dust with Dalmatian or
Persian insect powder, tobacco, sui
phur, or air-slacked lime, than to try
to reach the louise with oil or grease

COST OF DUCK PRODUCTION
Fifty TO One Hundred Of Birds Can
Be Raised on Almost Every Farm
at Handsome Profit.

1t is generally supposed that more
grain is required to grow pound of
duck than to produce pound Of
chicken. but this is not the case, as
carefully conducted experiments show
that 1t takes from 1875 to 3.75 pounds
OF grain to produce one pound Of
chicken, whereas it takes only about
3.15 pounds of grain to produce one
pound of duck.
In 1911 experiment, fifteen run
ner ducks were Matched May z and
fifteen on May 6. At ten weeks of
age they were marketed, weighing
1913 pounds and brought 20 cents a
pound. They had been fed 403
pounds of material valued at two
cents pound, making the cost of one
pound of duck 6.3 cents. Add to this
the cost of labor, etc., and the net
cost per pound is not more than ten
cents, leaving a net profit of ten cents
a pound.
We do not advocate extensive duck
growing for the average farmer, but
we do say that so to 100 ducks can be
raised annually on almost every farm
at a handsome profit.-Illinois Farm
ers' Institute.

CHINESE MAKE GOOD COOKS
Kettle Is the Favorite Utensil with
the OrientaIs, Both at Home
and Abroad.

Families having Chinese cooks are
glad to acknowledge that, in most
instances, they make splendid serv-
ants and excellent cooks. Yet the
Chinese, in his native country, is I'M
acquainted with the American means
of cooking. No stoves or kitchen
ranges are manufactured in the great
Tientsin district of China says a con-
sular report. Stoves are in use, OF
course, but they are by no means the
ranges to which we are accustomed.
The Chinese, however, are beginning
to manufacture small cooking stoves
patterned after imported models. The
stores at Tientsin carry line of Ger
man and American stoves. The Chi
aese use very primitive cooking ap-
paratus. The little open air eating
houses found everywhere along the
streets of the native city, and along
the wharves, have the simplest kind
of furnace supporting a kettle. Chi
nese cooking is either stewing or boil
ing, and this kettle answers all pur-
poses. In the Chinese houses very
thin cast iron kettle is placed over
the fire, and everything which the
family eats is cooked therein. The
kettle method of cooking has been IN

ATTENTION FOR SHEEP FLOCK
Animals Are Dainty Feeders and Win
Not Touch Hay That Other Stock
Has Mussed Over.

Shep are dainy feeders. They will
not eat hay that other stock have
mussed over, and they will refuse
grain taken from a ratty crib. Sheep
should have a we'll ventilated shed,
high and dry. In dry weather, says a
writer in the Practical Farmer, they
should be allowed their freedom to
run out and in at their will. Nothing
will feel or show neglect as quickly
as sheep.
Place the unthrifty ewes by them
selves, and give them a little extra
feed. Perhaps they are suffering
from the greed of the bosses in the
flock, and are not getting full ra-
ton. Oats, wheat, bran, llnseed meal
and clover hay should be provided
for ewes Dip the sheep Immediately
after shearlng, and again in about
three weeks, to destroy the ticks that
may have escaped at the first dip
ping.
