CONTROL OF CHICKEN MITES
Unsatisfactory Growth In Summer May
Be Caused by vermln-Destruc-

When well fed and otherwise prop
erly managed, chickens do not always

There is a. cause for this which, may
be wholly unsupported. It Is likely to
be due to- the preseiice OF chicken
mites. - -'sr IT..

the chickens are at roost the mites
crawl from their hiding places ON to
the birds. They gorge themselves with
blood much the same as mosquito
does, and then crawl back to their bid
ing places. I.

The following were among the re-

Department of Agriculture to the
question, "What is your method Of
feeding and preparing geese for mar

Vincent M. Couch, Moravia, N. T.:
To fatten goslings, confine, and after
five to six weeks make cOrnmeal the
principal feed; add some beef scraps,
and allow them to have some grass.
OF the large breeds, they should weigh
from 10 to 20 pounds at ten weeks old !;
and market at this age. Reserve the
smaller breeds until holidays.

There are about 1000 consolidated

that about one-third of the roads in

them home again in the evening. All

body, there cam be little or no growth
so long as such condition continues.
The time and the labor of the poul-
tryman, as well as the feed consumed,
are thus practically wasted In the pres
ence Of chicken mites.
During the summer every precau-
ton should be taken to keep the pens
and roosting places free from mites.
This is not q difficult matter. The
mite is very small parasite, bare
1y perceptible with the unaided eye.
: When not gorged with chicken blood
1t is lfght-colored. 1t becomes red
when'it has gorged itself with chicken
blood. For this reason 1t is sometimes
called the "red" mite. But this pest
is SO delicately constructed that it can
be easily destroyed by spraying with
kerosene or whitewash.

Good roads means mainly dispos.
Ing of the water. Nearly always a
good dirt road can be made by proper
drainage. The King-dragged road is
easily made and sustained by running
a split log or plank drag over it when
1t is wet from a previous rain. The
surface of this dragged road bakes and
makes rounded roadway that sheds
water, stays smooth and solid, and
makes the best all-round highway on
