PROTECT YOUR CHICKS AGAINST
VERMIN.
ROY II. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Do you know how many head of live
stock you have in your chicken house?
If you haven't recently looked at the
bottom of the roosts or in the cracks
around the nests, it is about two to
one shot that you don't Mites breed
very rapidly during the warm weather
and always get the start of the neglect
full poultry raiser. Mites are worse
than lice and anyone knows that they
are bad enough. Lice do their damage
mainly by annoying the fowls running
about on their bodies Mites not only
do this, but they get their nourishment
by biting a hole in the chickens skin
and sucking the blood. Lice live main
ly by eating parts of the feathers and
scales from thes skin. Mites do not
stay on the birds body during the day.
but stay in little clumps under the
roosts and in the cracks about the
house. AT night they are rested up
and pour over the hens body.
sometimes in large enough numbers to
kill the hens outright. They iniure
the hens by disturbing their rest and
taking nourishment from their bodies.
1t is much easier to keep mites out of
house than it is to get rid of them
after they get in. A painting of the
roosts with kerosene oil once a month
will keep them down. 1t is a much
more difficult matter to get rid of
them once they get start.
The kerosene treatment will have
to be applied at least once week for
time in order to subdue them. Some
recommend the use of coal tar or gas
tar for destroying mites. One applica-
ton is said to be sufficient for period
of six months, if a thorough lob is
made of putting it on. The coal tar
should be thinned with kerosene.

The Johnson standard of measure
and St Paul. like Washington, are
only half taxed compared With other
American cities; that certain cities,
from the Pacific coast to the gulf. are
less taxed than Washington, and that
Birmingham. for example. bears only
one-half and Atlanta three-fourths of
Washington's tax burden.
This freak standard of measurement
if fairly applied plays no favorites. but is
consistently fantastic and absurd in its
results.
The census authorities declare Mr..
JOhnson's figures to be unreliable. The
tax onicials In states and cities com
fess this unreliability. The practical
ufe accurate and true reduces to nm
absurdity this assumption. This false
standard does not unjustly slur WASH
fngtOn alone. but Chicago, indianapolis
and other comparable American cities.
In calculating the actual tax burden
the assessment alone In Of no value,
the tax rate alone is Of NO value, and
the application to the tax rate Of the
unreliable reported relations of ns-
sessed to true value to measure COM
parative tax burdens gives results that
are confessedly erroneous.
The only reliable standards Of meas
uring the tax burdens of the various
cities are the tax levies OF total tax re-
ceipts. the dollars actually raised by
taxation, and the per capita tax levy
or per capita tax receipts which dis
tribute the total tax burden among the
persons constituting the taxed COM
munity.
The demonstration Of the figures Ii
that the reports from the cities of
the relation Of assessed to true value
are 40 inaccurate and tainted with err
rOr that dramatically 'hnisleading re-
suits follow any attempt to apply these
false reports to modify the actual tax
rate as a measure OF comparative tax
burdens.
The table OF figures relied ON by Mr..
johnson in the House debate to DEM
Onstrate the comparative lightness of
the Washingtonian's tax burden is rem
dered valueless by the use Of and re-
lfnnce upon this discredited and mis-
lending factor in its caiculat II ens.
