HIRE WOMEN AS CONDUCTORS
Between $500 and 5000 Now EN-
pioyed on Trolley Cars Of Berlin
Take Place OF Soldiers.

! The art of conducting street car
through the crowded thoroughfares of
Berlin is being taught to women in five
SCHOOLS for conductresses," which
graduate each week total of between
800 and 400 female conductors to take
the place of men gone to the war.
Not since the earliest days OF the
electric car In Berlin have candidates
for the positions on the back platform
proved SO apt as the women, who once
were considered unfit for such mascu-
line work. Between $500 and 1000
women are now employed as conduc-
tors. and incidentally everyone who
has applied passed the preliminary ex-
animation. A large percentage, how
ever, have been unable to stand the
strain and have had to seek other
work.
The women are given a theoretical
course Of three days, eight hours a
day, in one of the five schools. and
then. for their practical training, are
accompanied on genuine trips by ex-
perienced conductors, learn the names
of streets and have a chance to put
their theoretical training into use.

DESTROY LITTLE RED MITES
Hen 10 PowerIess to Protect Herself
From Ravaqes of vermln-Ega-
Laying Out Of Question.

There is no poultry parasite that
our feathered friends are less power
less to combat than the common red
mite. The body lice can be kept in
check by the hen if she has her lib
erty, because she will frequently find
good busting place and proceed to
cleanse herself and make things very
uncomfortable for the lice. But on ac-
count of her attachment to her home,
no matter how poor it is, she will go
back every night to infested roosts
and allow the mites to crawl upon her
and suck her likelihood. Poor biddy Is
powerless to protect herself and un-
less friend man steps In and does
something for her she soon becomes
emaciated and detected, and egg-lay-
ing is entirely out of the question.
The red mite is one of the most COM
mon causes Of no eggs when there
ought to be some eggs.
Cleanliness In the coop is an i'm.
portant factor in the control of the
mite, as It will hide under filth, drop
pings and litter. as we'll as in cracks
and erevices of the roosts and nests.
Clean coops, however, are not entirely
free from infestation and may even
become seriously infested II not given
treatment. Spraying is a common
means of control, cresol sprays or kerr
osene emulsion being recommended.
On account OF being unable to accom-
plish thorough work by spraying it Ia
necessary TO spray frequently in or
der to keep the mites in check
/ Probably the most thorough method
OF control is by fumigation. The
fumes will permeate every part Of the
coop and kill all the mites. regardless
Eof whether they are In the litter or on
the roosts AS all of the mites are
+, killed the treatment will be effective
for a long time. as 1t will be some
time before coop will become infest-
ed again. The fumigation method is
the easiest one to control the mites.
All that Is necessary is to place the
proper amount Of fumigant In an open
kettle, light it and close the doors
tightly When the doors are opened
several hours later the coop is entire.
! ly bugless. In order to get good re-
suits 1t is necessary to use a sufficient
amount OF good fumigant The com
mercial article is the most convenient
to use and will assure good results II
the directions are followed.

HOUSE FOR LAYING PULLETs
Old Hens Keep Young Ones In Con-
slant State Of Fear, Which VIII
Retard Egg Production.

The pullets that have begun to lay
or give promise of early laying should
be housed away from the old stock
Pullets require more food than old
hens. and If the hens and pullets are
kept In the same house and fed to-
gether, either the old hens will eat
too much and thus get too fat to lay,
or the pullets will get insufficient food
to keep up egg production and main
tain bodily growth at the same time.
If housed together, the old hens will
fight the pullets and keep them in
constant state Of fear which will
diminish or retard egg production.
II the farmer has but one poultry
house. the young stock can be sepa-
rated from the old by merely running
wire partition through the middle
of the house.

Just now the agricultural press and

to the Importance Of pure and i'm

not take the hint and pay special at

fowls. This is equally as important
as seed grain, If not more so. for there
is a mighty difference between the

the graded-up kind kept By too few.
