pose-keep II Dry.

In every poultry house there should
be a dust bath. where the hens may
get rid of lice. Poultry lice breathe
through the pores in their sides. and
fine dust fills these pores and suffo-
Gates the vermin. Road dust. hard
coal ashes, or dry dirt of any kind,
will accomplish the purpose. Wood
ashes, II damp. may stain the feath-
ers and otherwise harm the fowls.
Sometimes, II the hens are badly in
tested. Persian insect powder may be
added to the material in the dust bath.
A tight box, by 8 feet. and foot
deep. is a good receptacle for the
dust. It should be placed where the
sun can shine on 1t as many hours as
possible. for when the hens are not ex-
ercising by scratching for their feed
they will spend q good deal of their
time in the dust bath. which induces
exercise.
The hens will not use the bath free
ly unless the air IL warm, for they dis
like to open their feathers and ex-
pose their bodies to air below so de-
grees.

Oh-then the tick eats my feed?
Yes. but he first makes your cat
tie do all the work of turning feed
into blood.
But what is cattle blood worth?
SO much pound when 1t goes into
beef-so much a quart when It goes
to make milk.
How much blood do ticks eat?
Where they are thick they eat 200
pounds Of blood q year from a 1.OOO-
pound steer.
How much milk do they take out
in blood?
A few on COW reduce the milk
yield one and one-half quarts a day
lots OF them will cut the milk down
over three quarts.
Then the ticks are drawing on my
bank account?
They are certainly keeping your
balances in the veal stage.
And my neighbors?
The tick is sucking $4,000. 900

What Is the answer?
You and the farmers. business men,
bankers and people of the country
must get together and build dipping
watts and dip all cattle in an arsenical
