TO ERADICATE LICE
 FROM THE FLOCK
Advice from Storrs Colleee-Remedy
 Must Be Used with Care.

With the approach of spring the lice problem will soon be more serious to contend with than it is through the winter. writes the management of the international egg laying contest at StorrS. The customary way of holding lice in check is to dust the hens with some sort of lice powder, many va rieties of which have been developed and are on the market and almost any of which will keep down the lice fair ly well if applied often enough. The objection, however to the ordinary lice powder is that 1t does not as a rule destroy the eggs so that while hen may be entirely freed of lice by the use of the powder such eggs as are left will hatch out in the course of ten days or less and the bird is lousy again.
 While the Storrs Agricultural station has not had an opportunity to try out experimentally the formula suggested below it is known that q few commer- cial breeders. that is poultry who have large foCks, are using Mercurial Oint- ment advantageouSly. It must be un derstood of course that this ointment, sometimes called blue ointment, is very poisonous. The method of procedure is to mix blue ointment and vaseline equal parts. Then take on the end of finger an amount of this mixture equal in size to a. small pea or large grain of wheat; then burroW into the skin about an inch below the vent. It is of course, well known that if there are any lice on a hen they can be found in this region probably because they are seeking moisture. The eggs of the lice are deposited in this same region, viz: just below the vent hence a little of this vaseline-blue ointment treat ment applied there destroys the future crop. The life of the Iouse is not very long so that if the eggs are disposed of the biFd will soon he rid of the nest It is claimed that a hen freed from lice in this way will remain uninfested for a long time. It is especially rec commended that any who have not tried this remedy and care to investigate should at first make the application on only d few birds to be sure that too much is not applied at one time, and that it is put on ths right place or else the hens themselves may be des- troyed by mercurial poison.

UTILIZE SHADE TREE LEAVES
Leaf Mold Is Especially Valuable for
Increasing Moisture Holding
Ability of Soils.

CBy B. o. LoNGYEAR. Colorado Expert
ment Station)
In most towns and cities autumn
brings with it the pungent odor Of
burning leaves, the smoke of which
settles like choking pail over the
streets and homes. The yard clean.
ing days of spring are likewise
marked with the incense Of smoking
vegetable matter that Is being cre-
mated along streets and alleys. In
stead of smudging themselves and
their neighbors, the inhabitants of our
towns who own shade trees can often
make far better use Of the fallen
leaves by composing them The high
degree of fertility usually noticed in.
newly cleared lands which have been
covered with forests of broad-leaf
trees is mainly due to the abundance
of leaf mold which the soil contains.
This material Is especially valuable
for increasing the moisture-holding
ability of light soils and for improving
the texture Of clay soils. Florists use
leaf mold, where obtainable, for mix
ing with their potting soils, and 1t is
of equal value in the flower bed, the
vegetable garden and the field.
In our semi-arid regions, leaf mold
does not readily form without little
care being given to the matter. The
leaves may be stored in large bin
In some shady or secluded corner of
fha In nil dnO n
earth. They should be packed In
tightly and kept moist by an occa"
sional wetting with the hose, or, IL I'M
q pit, from the irrigating ditch. They
may be spaded or plowed directly into
the garden.
Tor straw in bedding the horse and
will add to the value of the manure
Tor fertilizing purposes.
In case none Of these uses can be-
made of the fallen leaves. some local
market gardener or farmer who
knows their value may be given the
privilege of hauling them away to
use on his fields or in the compost
heap.
The older nations Of the world
have learned to utilize every bit OF
waste vegetable matter in some such
way, and although intensive agricul-
ture is perhaps not yet SO imperative
N this country, this utilization of dead
leaves is in line with the growing
sentiment for the conservation Of soil
fertility.
