that sore arms will be the order Of the

CHICKEN LICE ARE
QUICK IN MATURING
Insects Soon Spread From One
Infested Fowl Throughout
the Whole Flock.

The common hen louse is pale dull
yellow in color; rather slender and
about one-twentieth of an inch lorg,
and is always without wings. 1t is
provided with six legs, and the head
is broadly rounded in front.
The lice are very active, and move
about in the feathers of an infested
fowl quickly, apparently looking for
something new, as anyone who
handles an infested hen will soon dis
cover. They keep close to the host,
and complete their entire transforms
tions on it's body. During the night
they move from the body of one fowl
to another, so that they may soon
spread from one infested hen through
out the whole flock.
The eggs of the common hen louise
are small and oval and are laid in
small clusters or "nits." Each egg is
attached by one end to the vanes and
barbs of the feathers. They hatch in
about eight days under favorable con-
ditions. However, they may remain
unmatched for several months in q
cool place without losing their vital
fly.
The young lice Matching from the
eggs resemble the adults in most re
spects, except in size. Two or three
weeks are required under ordinary
conditions for the young louise to be
come mature. Under favorable con
ditions the lice NAV multinlv So ranid
ly that an uninfested flock may be
come badly infested in comparative
| ly short time.

RAISE THE HEiFER
CALVES FOR DAIRY
More Than Pay for Trouble in
Quality and Quantity of
Milk They Produce.

The large milk producers, having
summer pasture and forage crops, are
decidedly in favor of raising their
own cows. They may cost little
more, but they more than pay for the
expense and trouble of raising in the
quantity and quality of the milk they
yield.
The difference between an average
and an extra mixer is fully 1000
quarts of milk in season, worth fully
$50, or half the price of an extra
COW.
The calves to raise are the heifers
of your best mixers, sired by a
thoroughbred bull of good milking
stock This matter is so well under
stood that dairymen, who are good
judges of cows, will give an extra
price for a COW having record as a
first-class mixer.
1t is satisfactory and profitable to
raise ones own COWS and see the
steady improvement of the herd by
careful selection, good feeding and
management. This is much the best
way to build up a profitable herd.

LIME is NOT A FERTILIZER
Applied to Soil to Correct Sovrness or
AcIdity Where Such Exists
Some Other Effects.

tBy NJ f. MILLER Missouri Experi-f
ment Station)
There is general impression
among farmers that lime is a fertili
ger. The prime reason for applying
lime to the soil Is to correct sourness
or acidity where such exists. The
legume crops, such as clover and al
falfa, do not thrive on sour soil, unless
the soil is very rich. Sour soils are
not well suited to the development Of
beneficial bacteria, which are found
in the tubercles of these crops. 1t Is
mainly for the purpose of favoring the
growth Of these bacteria that lime is
applied to soils. Ground limestone is
the form of lime which is usually
cheapest as soil sweetener.
There are other effects OF lime, but
most OF them are of less Importance.
Lime tends to make plant food avail
able from the soil, although this is
largely through it's beneficial effect on
the bacteria. In large quantities IT
tends to make clay soils more friable,
but this effect of lime is usually OBJ
served only where the freshly water
Stacked or air-slacked lime is applied
in large quantities. Ground limestone
has much less effect in this respect
A fertilizer usually gives quick re-
sponse in the crop to which it is ap-
piled. provided the soil is in need Of
the plantfood added. Lime. on the
other hand. usualIv has a less imme-
diate effect. the benefit being distrib-
uted through a number of seasons. On
very sour soils, however. where
enough lime is added to entirely
sweeten the surface of six or seven
inches, the effect upon crops. particu-
larly clover and alfalfa. is often imme-
date and striking.
