DAMPNESS IN POULTRY HOUSE
Modern Building Usually Depends
Upon Ventilation to Prevent 1t From
Becoming Uncomfortable.

tBy A. c. SMITH. Minnesota Experiment
Station0
\ prolonged period OF unusually
damp weather is always trying ex-
perience for poultrymen
The modern poultry house usually
depends upon ventilation to prevent it
from becoming uncomfortable from ex-
cessive humidity, which is an exceed
ingly difficult thing to do during a
prolonged period OF damp weather.
Litter is usually of such material that
it absorbs water readily and at such
times as mentioned above becomes in
tolerably damp. Because of the fowls
close and constant contact. damp lit
ter causes more colds and cases OF
roup than extremely low temperatures,
and is on that account most damaging
TO the health of the fowls, which can
endure dirty litter almost to the point
of filthiness with less harmful effect.
Remove the damp litter at once.
even though 1t has just been put in.
No litter at all would be better than
the damp litter. Occasionally one
must expect to find the weather
against him. Even poultrymen can.
not expect to find 1t all sunshine. Make
the best OF it and supply new and dry
litter at trifling cost, rather than
sustain big losses in fowls or egg pro
duction. probably both.

d3y T. L. HACKER. University Farm.
St Paul. MinnD
From careful investigation we nnd
that our common COWS are capable OF
producing a much larger yield than is
secured from the average common
COW in the state During the past
decade we have always had at the
minnesota university farm, in tho
dairy herd, a number of common
cows; that is. cows with no dairy
heredity. The average yield from
these common cows. for % yearly
records. is 5000 pounds of milk, and
222 pounds of butter; which last,
valued at 27 cents per pound. is equal
in round numbers to SEQ for butter
alone. The average receipt per COM
mon COW in the state is $46.40; which
shows that the average COW is yielding
$l4 less per annum than she might
easily yield If given the same care and
feed as are given the cows at univer-
sity farm.

The thorough screening OF all win
dows and doors of stables has been
found successful and desirable. When
barns are screened care should be
taken to brush the flies from the ami
mals when they are about to enter, by
means of nets over the doorway, or
with sacks. Little can be done to
protect range stock from the flies. On
hog farms freshly plowed trench Of
fers considerable protection to swine
The sides of the trenches may be
smeared with petroleum which is
rubbed off on the animals and acts as
repellant.
Destruction of Immature Stages and
Prevention of Breeding.
Since straw stacks have been found
to be the principal breeding places
or the stable fly in the grain belt, the
proper care OF the straw is by far
the most important step in control.
The straw should be stacked more
carefully than is ordinarily done when
1t is desired to keep it for protection
and food for live stock. This may be
accomplished by making the sides OF
the stack nearly vertical and rounding
1t up on top. in order the better to
shed the rain
SO far as is possible, all straw which
Is not required for winter food for
stock should be dis Dosed of Immediate
ly by burning or by scattering it over
the land soon after thrashing, and
subsequently plowing it under. or
by burning the stack. The plowing
under of the straw is the most advis-
able method of procedure. as by this
practise large amounts of humus are
added to the soil Oat straw is most
generally used for feeding purposes,
and it is this straw which forms the
principal breeding grounds for flies.
1t Is, therefore, important that all the
oat straw needed for seed purposes or
bedding be baled and stored under
cover. and that the remainder be-
promptly burned or scattered All
straw stacks not consumed by stock
during the winter should be promptly
disposed of in the early spring. as
these stacks furnish flies continuously
during the spring and summer.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The stable fly is regarded by the
department of agriculture as a men
ace, not only to domestic animals, but
to human beings, and this is the sea-
son OF the year when means for ex-
terminating and controlling the pest
should be adopted. In this connection
the department recommends, among
other things, the Hodge fly trap, a sim
pie. easily constructed contrivance. as
one OF the most effective meas
ures In destroying the fly. The flies
frequently attack mankind, and during
severe outbreaks men engaged in field
work are often annoyed by them.
In the southern part of the United
States the stable fly is a source Of
great danger to live stock, and to
the welfare of the community practi-
cally throughout the year In the
Northwest the fly seldom becomes suf-
hciently numerous to cause annoyance
except during the latter part of the
summer and early fall The most Sc
rious damage caused by the fly, how
ever, is in the grain belt.
Practically all warm blooded ami
mails are attacked by flies, while mules
In general seem to be more annoyed
than any other animals. Horses and
cattle are severely attacked. while
sheep and goats are prey for the fly,
which attacks them on all parts OF
the body not protected by the wool.
particularly the legs, and hogs are
subject TO annoyance by the pest, es-
pecially when they are in pasture.

as to catch flies both as they attempt
to enter and leave windows. 1t con-

The Success Label.

Upton Sinclair, commenting in Bal
tmore on the enormous fortunes now
existing in America, said
I'm no other place the world over
are such fortunes to be found. One
reason is that our laws regulating
financial transactions are less strln-
gent than those of other countries,
and another reason is that even where
we have laws our magnates forget
about them.
In fact" Mr.. Sinclair concluded
with laugh, "the histories OF some
of our largest American fortunes show
clearly that on the door of success is

three rows of openings leading to the

One opening is a space one-half inch
wide between the floor of the trap and

These openings admit flies directly

This is covered by a roof of screen

er up the sides are two rows of open

wire inward and upward to form two
horizontal folds running across the
window.
A series OF small holes are also
punched along the inner edge of each
OF these folds. Thus there are three
rows of openings on each side of the
trap, one at the bottom leading direct
ly to the bait and from there through
the holes in the ridge to the interior
OF the trap. The two above this are
openings through folds of wire which
lead directly to the interior OF the
trap. These openings higher up on
the sides provide way of entrance
to the trap even If the flies caught

openings in the ridge covering the

Protection Of Live Stock From the
Fly.
A mixture of fish oil Zone gallon)
oil OF pine tar 1.-TWO ounces), oil of
pennyroyal (two ounces), and kero-
sene (one-half pinD has been found
to be very effective in keeping the flies
off live stock when applied lightly but
thoroughly to the portions OF animals
not covered with blankets or nets.
Work animals may be largely protect
ed from the pest by means OF cover
ings. One type found very effective
and inexpensive during an outbreak
OF the pest in Texas consisted of a
blanket made OF double thickness OF
burlap so arranged as completely to
cover the back, sides and neck OF the
animal. The legs are then covered
