No one can tell just how much

ponds on various conditions, not the
least of which are the energy and
good judgment that the poultry keep
er puts into his work, says the
Farmers Wife. Cases are on record
where several dollars per hen have
been made annually for some years by
women who have produced the finest
quality of poultry and sold it at the
highest prices for exhibition and
breeding Many women make from

eggs.
A lady in Iowa not only paid for
her farm, but sent her children to

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 its very rough, tile-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 a 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 few weeks.
These lice breathe through very
small tubes or pores, and by covering.
these with oil or filing them with
very fine powder breathing is pre-
vented and the lice are smothered. On
account of the hens long feathers, 1t
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.

It is generally supposed that more
grain is required to grow a pound OF
duck than TO produce a pound Of
chicken, but this is not the case, as
carefully conducted experiments show
that 1t takes from 1926 to s.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 a l11 experiment, fifteen run
ner ducks we're Matched May 2 and
fifteen on May 6. AT ten weeks Of
age they we're marketed, weighing
1873 pounds and brought 20 cents
pound. They had been fed 40s
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
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 handsome profit. illinois Farm

but short-haired furs, not so bulky,
are invariably this season cut either
narrow or wide.
In passing, 1t may be mentioned
that furs must rot be cut with scis!

maker may CIT them satisfactorily by
marking q line with tailor's chalk on
the skin side of the pelt and cutting
along this line with razor blade. In
sewing seams two edges are held to-
gether and overcast. Furriers use a
triangular needle, and 1t is far easier
to sew skins with than the round
