Some Harmful External
Parasites of Poultry

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-External parasites frequently
cause heavy poultry losses, and poul-
trymen should quarantine their flocks
against them. Special methods are
required for the control of the various
kinds of pests, but certain general
measures are often advisable.
One of the best general methods is
fumigation. While not very effective
against many of the external para
sites, it should be employed for its
great sanitary value. 1t is conven-
iently applied by slipping a tent that
has been treated with linseed oil or
carbolineum over the colony chicken
house and weighing down the sides
with little dirt. The fumes are then
applied, after which the tent is re-
moved to the next house, and so on.
An account Of the special methods
for most of the common poultry para
sites is given in College Bulletin

try" written by DR.. II. E. Ewing, re-
search assistant at the Oregon Agri-
cultural college. Free copies may be

Swat the Hen Louise.

If hens are not mighty busy rustling
feed and laying eggs it would be well
to see whether they are not bothered
with common hen lice. This parasite
is pale straw color, which helps to
distinguish it from the larger biting
poultry louise. 1t is only about one
twentieth of an inch long, has an oval
body with small thorax and large ab-
domen, and its legs are somewhat
stubby. 1t annoys and Injuries the hen
by its tickling movements over the
skin and among the feathers. In
small numbers it is merely disturbing,
but in large numbers it is a serious
pest. 1t is especially damaging to
young chicks and sometimes causes
their death. They seldom leave their
hosts, feeding on barbules of feathers
and laying their eggs. The eggs
hatch in a day or two, and the young
become fully grown in about month.
They may be controlled, says DR..
Ewing, o. A. c. parasite specialist,
by applying kerosene or slaked lime
and sulphur to the poultry. The fol-
lowing mixture is good: Crude car

CHARACTER IN THE NEcKTIE
Here ls an Explanation Of the Deprav.
lty Undoubtedly Evinced at Times
by the Neck Adornment.

The man was trying to tie his
necktie In satisfactory manner, and
was succeeding only to the extent
OF much profanity and many extra
trials. The man who was waiting for
him was taking 1t almost as seriously
as he was.
Il guess" he said sympathetically.
I'VE all have necktie troubles more or
less. know do. But now that l
have discovered what is the matter
with refractory tie simply throw 1t
away and transfer my trouble else
where by giving it to any man who
laughs at me because can't tie It,"
The other man ceased his efforts
long enough to ask what the trouble
was.
1T is purely psychologist the visit
or explained. you see the tie was
made by some woman or other who
was either cranky or had a disposition
you couldn't get along with to save
your life. She being Of much temper
or temperament put her character in
her work, and though 1t looks all
right and would easily pass the deal
er, 1t won't work at all with the con-
sumer unless he happens to be the
kind Of man who could get along with
that kind of woman.
II know this to be true, because /
have traded one of my refractory ties
with friend for one he could not
handle, and we had no trouble with
them after the exchange. Now and
then. though you come across one that
simply will not tie right, and neither
you nor any man can succeed with
1t. That kind, / fancy, is made by
some crank of an old maid who Is an
old maid because she has such dis
position that even the matrimonial tie
can't properly adjust itself to her."
The man before the glass took of
the tie and passed 1t over to his
psychic friend.
Suppose you see what you can do
with It," he said.
The visitor was accommodating, and
behold, he tied 1t as smoothly and
nicely as though his best girl had
made 1t for him.

Moss-Ridden Lawns.

The serious inroads made by moss
on lawns is best controlled by sowing
special shady-lawn mixtures in those
hooks and corners of the lawn that are
densely shaded. The ordinary lawn
grasses lose their vigor under these
conditions and are crowded out by
winter MOSES that flourish there. The
moss dries up later and can be raked
of and burned. Light applications of
air-slacked lime are recommended by
Professor A. L. Peck, landscape gar
den specialist at the Oregon Agricul-
tural college. This treatment Is not
expected to kill the moss, but IL in
vigorates the grass which is thus en-
abled to struggle successfully against
Its enemy.
