matter and food rich In protein. One
of the best and most common protein

1t is claimed by the best Of authorities
that skimmilk is more valuable as food
for poultry than il is for hogs or calves.
IL skimmilk could be given In liberal
allowances the results obtained would
be quite satisfactory.
Wheat, which is rich in protein,
should also be fed in liberal quantities

ration containing goodly portions Of lin

Changing Fowls Feed.

When hens are fed dry mash from
hoppers and have grain scattered in
deep litter there is little danger OF their
becoming too fat, yet 1t is not well to
adopt this method of feeding when hens
have been accustomed to moist mash.
rs the change is likely to upset them.
When it is desired to change from a
wet to a dry mash and the latter Is to
be kept before the hens all the time
they should be heavily fed on grain 80
some will be left in the litter when
they go to roost. Keep this up for
several days. when the dry mash may
be placed before them and the grain
ration reduced

KILLING POULTRY LICE.
Msreuriai Ointment an Effective Rem
edy on Mature Birds.

edy on Mature 6iroe.
Prepared by poultry division, United
States department Of agricultural
The modern and most effective meth
ID Of killing lice on mature poultry Is
by the use Of mercurial ointment One
part Of ointment is mixed with two
parts of lard, aud portion about the
size OF pea is rubbed on the skin Of
the hens body below the vent. A space
not larger than the size of quarter
dollar should be creased. as when a
larger surface is treated the mercury
win be absorbed and the hens egg pro-
duction decreased. A short time ago
lois single comb White Leghorn hens
were treated In this way, and after
ward not single louise could be found
on any of them.
The advantage of using the ointment
lies in the fact that 1t is necessary to
apply 1t only once in six weeks. The
lice are attracted by the moisture and
appear to flock to the spot treated
with the ointment. This method is
preferable to busting hens with insect
powder or dipping them in germicidal
solution. 1t is simpler, cheaper and
more effective. However, the mercu-
rial ointment must not be applied TO
baby chicks or to hens sitting on eggs
for Matching. The use of insect pow
der before sitters are placed on eggs
and twice during the hatch is the best
and safest way for sitting hens.
