PARASITE OF POULTRY
Blood Thirsty Pest Causes Great
Loss to Industry.
Hens Attacked by Common Chicken
Mite Cease Laying, Become Poor
In Flesh and listlesa In Action
Remedies for Eradication.
(By II. c. PIERCE.)

\by H. Z. PlERCE)
The worst parasite of poultry
against which the poultryman and
farmer have to contend is the com.
mon chicken mite or red chicken
mite" There are other species OF
mites which attack poultry, but they
do much less damage. This blood.
thirsty pest causes great loss to the
poultry industry of the country by
killing adult fowls and chicks and cut
ting down egg production. 1t not only
attacks poultry but horses and even
man as we'll
Hens which are attacked by mites
cease laying, become poor in flesh,
dumpish, and listless in action. The
head and comb become pale and the
bird presents a sickly appearance.
These symptoms are caused by the
irritation and loss of blood due to
nightly visits of hordes of these
hungry parasites. 1t seems hardly
believable that fowls could be killed
by such small pests, but they are so
many in numbers that their total
capacity for blood is enormous. Their
ravages are most pernicious on sitting
hens, as here they may have access
to their host at all times, causing a
rapid loss Of blood. Attacks upon sit
ting hens often result In the hen
leaving her nest or in her death. spoil
Ing the hatch in either case. Even II
the hen does withstand the ravages Of
the mite, the newly-hatched chicks are
attacked as soon as they emerge from
the shell and are often killed In a
short time.
The best remedies for mites are
cleanliness, sunlight and spraying
with disinfectant solutions. The poul-
try house and fittings should be so
built as to be easily cleaned The
walls should be smooth and as free
from cracks as possible. Nests, roots
and dropping boards should be easily
removable to allow spraying of their
entire surface and the walls beneath
them. There are several preparations
for the eradication of mites of which
two good ones are here given:
Shave or chop one 10-cent cake of
laundry soap into one pint of soft wa
ter. Heat or allow to stand until a
soap paste is formed. Stir In one
pound of commercial cresol and heat
or allow to stand until soap paste is
dissolved. Stir in one gallon Of kero-
sene. For use, dilute with fifty parts
OF water. which will make a milky
colored solution.
Commercial cresol is coal tar by
product and may be obtained from
the druggist at about thirty cents per
pound. Care should be taken not to
get any of 1t upon the hands or face
as it will cause intense smarting.
Shave or chop one-half pound OF
hard soap, add to a gallon of soft wa
ter place on fire and bring to boil
to dissolve the soap Remove from
the fire and stir in while hot two gal
Ions of kerosene. This makes a thick,
creamy emulsion which may be kept
be kept as a stock solution. For
use dilute with ten parts of soft wa
ter. 1t is better to apply it hot if pos
sible.
Extreme care should be taken that
these mixtures do not come in con-
tact with eggs that are sold for
table purposes. Eggs sprayed with
cresol soap solution taste of carbolic
acid

On the farm Of Vincent Repp there
still stands today the old log house In
which Father Weninger gave their first
mission to the little flock. At length,
in 1866, q tiny chapel was built.
Years passed and an addition had to
be made to the small chapel. This tenn
porarily sufficed, but the families were
increasing in number and were grow
ing larger and the parish was becom-
ing more prosperous with every year.
Hence the modest Church Of st. JOS
eph's became more and more made
Quate to the parish needs.
In 1900 the new st. Joseph's church
was founded. In a day of haphazard
church architecture it is a peculiar de-
light to find here a beautiful example
Of pure Gothic art. The church Is built
of cleaning white stone. and from a
front 60 feet wide it extends backward
120 feet. 1t represents 4 cost to the
parish of $4,000.

"Flush." So the F1oersch family and

In the early SOS a little band of Ger

before the Union Pacific had thrown it's
silver ribbons across the west, and
their meager possessions were brought
overland by oxen-drawn wagons from

Of those hard, early days.

idly spread over a larger area, as

from the vaterland. They found, too,
they had made a wise choice for their
settlement. The soil was fertile and
well watered by a timbered stream. A
ready market was furnished them for
their products by the fort at Riley.
