The report that the Rev. Father
Adrian Rabeyrolle, pastor Of the I'm
maculate Conception church Of Las
Vegas, is in France, where the gov
eminent is trying to force him into
the military service to take part in
the present war, has been received
here with much interest as the well
known priest was formerly stationed
in this city. He was pastor of the
Church Of Our Lady of Guadalupe
and has many friends in Santa Fe.
Father Rabeyrolle, according to the
news sent Las Vegas, has cabled
friends in Las Vegas to assist in ex-
pediating the issuance Of his natur-
alization papers so that he may es-
cape military duty in France. This
indicates the strenuous state Of af-

BAD FEATHER-EATING HABIT
Chief Cause ls Undoubtedly Presence
OF Depluming Mites-Make tho
Hens Work for Feed.

There are two chief causes for the
loss OF feathers from the head and
neck, feather eating and depluming
mites. The latter is undoubtedly the
chief cause, and often leads to the
former habit.
These mites live on the epidermal
debris at the base OF the feathers and
cause the feathers to break off at the
surface OF the skin. These mites will
also be found around the rump of the
iow. where the feathers are also lost.
For the control OF these mites the
following ointment is good: Flowers
OF sulphur, one dram; carbonate of
potash, 20 grains; lard of vaseline,
haif ounce. The flock is usually in
tested by the introduction of one or
more birds having the mites. II will
spread quite rapidly through the
flock.
The feather eating due to this mite
is caused by the irritation they cause
the birds. They will start picking
their own feathers, and later the
feathers OF others. The ordinary habit
OF feather eating can be checked by
making the hens work for their feed
and furnishing them a well-balanced
ration.
