NEW YORK, December 1.-Yes, the

There is.

Melted Tallow to Exterminate Lice

Regarding the determination OF mites
o. w. Mapes, the Middletown. n. T.,
poultry sage, gives few interesting
points. He read a paper at the meetins
OF the Connecticut Agricultural College
Storrs, Conn, in which he said:
"A serious problem that confronts the
beginner in the summer Is horde OF hen
lice or mites, as they are generally called.
What shall we do to rid our hens from
their tantalizing and profit-destroying
operations? I refer to the kind that crawl
upon the hens at night, suck good red
blood. and then retire to the nearest
crevice and spend the day.
There are many substances that Will
kill them. but most of them have to be
applied every week or ten days to keep
the mites within reasonable bounds. Like
the bedbug and the house fly, mites are
either dead or dormant during the winter
season. but enough usually survive the
winter in some way for seed. You can
build house out OF clean. new LUMBER
and stock it with cermin-free hens, but
with the advent of hot summer weather
they are apt to appear.
Where they come from, or how, do
not know, but do know that they usual
ly make their first appearance In some
crack or crevice in close proximity TO
on perch or nest. These are points to
guard most carefully.
Grease of any kind is fatal to most
insects, and it occurred to me some five
years ago that If those exposed portions
of the house could be wet with kerosene
every morning in some way there would
be no mites to get a foothold in the
house
From this it was but a short step to
reason that some other form Of grease
that would not evaporate or liquefy and
run out would not need to be applied so
frequently. A little experimenting soon
demonstrated that plain tallow. either
beef or mutton, is just the ticket, as the
saying is. Since that time l have painted
all my perches with melted tallow once
year. with complete freedom from
pests. The nests are closed for the night
SO that the hens cannot perch upon them.
81 never try to hatch with hens of
late. but judge that a nest that has been
painted with melted tallow would be
safe place to set a hen, using tobacco
stems for nesting material. A hen sitting
on a creased perch at night is as safe
from attack by mites as is a ten-dollar
bill tackled on top of creased pole on

CORN Club ROW IS laid
TO MISUNDERSTANDING
Secretary Houston of AgricM-
turaI Department. Explains
Ohio Boys Incident.

Secretary Houston of the Department
OF Agriculture today issued a formal
statement IN explanation of the criticism
Of him made by the Ohio State Grange
IN which 1t was said that he had refused
TO receive the boys and girls of the Ohio
corn clubs.
According to this statement. the whole
matter was a misunderstanding. About
100 of the corn club boys called and We're
received Secretary Houston said he was
IN his office and would have been glad to
receive the others had they come.
Mr.. Houston's Statement.
The statement says. in part:
Prior to the visit of the Ohio boys to
Washington there was correspondence
in which the Secretary of Agriculture
was asked TO receive the corn boys and
address them. Mr.. Houston replied that
he would be very glad TO receive these
boys In his Office, and no answer TO this
letter was received.
Later he stated orally TO his secretary
that he thought the boys and girls
would enjoy their visit to the depart
nent and profit far more from it II.
instead of listening TO a formal speech
by him, they should see the Secretary
and the assistant secretary IN their OF
ices and spend their time visiting the
laboratories and seeing the work being
carried on by the departments corn and
other specialists. The printed program
fixed the time Of the visit 10 the depart
ment at am. December T. Later
Mr.. Houston was asked TO receive the
boys at $50 am. on that day.
He at once notified I. P. Riddle OF the
Buckeye corn special tour that the
buildings of the department would not
be open until am, and it would be
better if the boys came at O'Clock,
when he would be glad to receive them
personally as a preliminary to their trip
through the laboratory. This was APP
parently assented to- and Mr.. Houston
was in his office at am. December 4
TO receive the boys, and did receive
