COMBAT POULTRY YARD FOES
Some Essential Measures Outlined by
Expert PouItrymen for Control Of
Insect Parasites.

Insect parasites are the cause of d
great deal Of annoyance and loss to
poultrymen. Some essential measures
as outlined by George M. Turpin for
their control are:
Have the poultry houses separated
from all other farm buildings.
Have all the interior fixtures of the
poultry houses, such as roost-poles,
nest boxes, feed hoppers, dropping
boards, etc, removed so that every
part of the interior can be readily
cleaned and sprayed.
Keep good dust bath to which the
fowls may have access at all times
of the day. Common road dust with
fine ashes and powdered sulphur or
air-slacked lime added is excellent.
The road dust should be gathered
during dry weather for use during
the winter.
Spray the coops and fixtures with
a good whitewash twice each year
adding two pounds of salt and one
fourth gallon of crude carbolic acid
to every so gallons of the spraying
mixture
Setting hens should have access to
a good dust bath such as mentioned
above. If lice are found later on the
chicks, rub lard in the feathers OF
the head and throat, and In bad cases
also under the wings.

By LAVILLA WRIGHT MACOMBER.)
Having discovered, after several sea-
sons of experience, that large sized
sets yield better than the small ones
and occupy no more space. we sort
out our small, even sized sets in early
spring and sell to the stores, retain
ing all the medium or large left over
onions to set for marketing.
Often grocers who have q large
amount of grown onions left over in
their cellars are glad to get rid OF
them for little or nothing and they
make the best of sets even when the
sprouts are spindled, for they soon
straighten out of doors and have near
ly a week the start of those not al
ready sprouted.
We set our onions just as soon as
the ground can be plowed andproughly
leveled, leaving enough space between
the closely set rows to cultivate with
a weed hoe. A cold snap or light

SHIPMENT OF BABY CHICKS
Little Fellows May Be Sent Long Dis
tances by Express Without DAN
ger or Discomfort.

One Of the most interesting branch
es of the poultry business is the ship
ping Of baby chicks hundreds. even
thousands, OF miles, and yet have them
arrive in good condition for further
growth and development. BY ship
ping direct from the incubator when
the chicks are one day old, advantage
is taken Of that period in the life of
the chicks when nature intended that
they should be without food. and they
can therefore without injury or dis
comfort be sent long distances by ex.
press under any conditions of climate
Chicks when first Matched require
neither food or drink. Indeed, such
is harmful. During the first seven
ty-two hours the chicks life Is sus-
tanned by the assimilation Of the yolk,
for the embryo chick is developed
from the white OF the egg. and just be-
fore Matching the yolk is drawn up
into its system and furnishes all the
food any chick should have for the
first three days of it's life 1t is dur
ing this period that chicks can be
shipped as far as express can take
them.

HEN MANURE AS Fertilizer
Has Greater Value Than Any Other
Kind Used on Farm-ShouId
Be Well Taken Care OF.

Hen manure as q fertilizer has
greater value than any other fertiliz-
er on the farm. 1t Is generally sup
posed by some poultrymen that the
manure will pay for taking care Of
the hens, but this depends much on
how it is kept The dropping boards
under the roosts should be kept COW
cred with some absorbent to preserve
the strength OF the droppings.
Land plaster or South Carolina rock
is good Never use wood ashes or
lime with the poultry droppings. The
ammonia or nitrogen would be set
free, and part of the value Of the fer
tilizer lost. The droppings should not
be applied on growing crop, or COW
cred soil. Use 1t on corn by putting
a handful on each hill at the time of
last hoeing. II should be kept under
cover until used

These onions are not uniform In size
but the quality Is excellent. Some

snap does not hurt them except to
retard growth and we find that the
sets must be placed in the ground
and pushed along for the market at
the earliest possible date to meet
the first demands, which, before town
gardens begin to bear, are brisk.
Our onions are placed on the
market as soon as the bulbs begin
to show slightly rounded bottoms and
our customers prefer them at that
stage rather than when the bottoms
are nicely rounded and the onion
flavor more pronounced. The extreme
tips of the bunch only are clipped to
give a heater appearance and they
are tied we'll down onto the tops that
the string may not cut into the tender
white part.
AS our orders are usually sent in
the day before, the onions are pulled
in the evening and left standing bot
toms down in tubs Of water over
night. The water loosens the rotten
outside skins, which may be easily
slipped down and the roots clipped
mot too closely or the cut ends will
curl back with stout sharp knife.
The soaking over night is a valuable
labor-saver especially when large or
ders must be delivered for the early
morning trade.
Our onions are sent to market in
lots of dozen punches each, wrap
ped in plain wrapping paper and tied
loosely with stout cord, to prevent
dust from settling on them in tran
sit. The yellow Danvers variety is
our favorite for green onions, be-
cause of their quick and uniform
growth, fresh white color and mild
flavor.
Unquestionably 1t pays to be parti-
cular when preparing vegetables for
market, for those Of the freshest and
neatest appearance are always sought
for while the careless peddler, who
brings In half cleaned, uneven
punches sometimes none to fresh
and covered with dust, has some to
take back.

Destruction Of Rats.

There are three methods which may
be employed in the destruction OF
rats: % Hunting, (2) trapping, (3)
the use of poison or rat virus There
Is not much to be said about the first
Of these methods. Most residents in
the country are acquainted with the
rafting instinct Of terriers, and with
the employment of ferrets and a
knowledge Of the practice can better
be obtained by experience than by
description. AS regard traps, the
spring trap which kills the rat at once
when the spring is released is the
best. Another good kind is the wire
trap, on the eel basket principle,
which the rat can enter easily when
attracted by the bait, but cannot
leave.
