DYESTUFFS MAY
BE RELEASED By
GERMAN CONSENT


New York, May 3.-The official COM
munication of Ambassador Won Bern
storff to Secretary of state Lansing,
that the German government IS pre-
pared on certain conditions to allow,
IL, 900 tons of dyestuffs to be sent from
Germany ITO meet the urgent needs
of American manufacturers is so
framed as to make it appear like a
special act of grace. The description
of the British blockade, which has in
duced the German government to 'sad-
here TO the principle that the export
of. German goods could be permitted
only in exchange for American good, -
is quite characteristic, as it is the ex-
preston of regret that this blockade
has resulted in Serious embarrass-
which ara in need of dyestuffs.' On
government now declares itself pre-
strictly limited to the shipment of
1900 tons Of dyestuffs referred to,the
export of which has been sought by
American interests for almost a year."
The condition upon which this lis to
be allowed is guarantee that will
satisfactorily assure the safe arrival
of the dyeStuffs in the United States
for consumption by American manu-
facturers, and under adequate provi-
sion against their re-export to coun-
tries at war with Germany 1t would
be easy enough to give assurance
against the re-export, which would
not be in the least desired by the i'm

porters or the government Of the Uni
ted States A satisfactory guarantee
of safe arrival is not such a, simple
matter. That might involve agree
ment with the nations at war with
Germany that they would not inter
fere with the shipment, which might
be regarded as being of as much bene-
fit to Germany and her manufactur-
ers as for the United States and her
manufa cturers. Already Great Britain
has offeEed to. grant licenses on fair
conditions for bringing Germany dye
stuffs over to the value of So, 600, 900
up to the first of June, and no ad-
vantage seems to have been taken of
it.
1t may be assumed that there is that
quantity of dyestuffs in Germany
facturers would be glad to have a
market at the prevailing high prices.
The German government might also
be glad to have their market value
transferred from the United States to
Germany. Furthermore, the transact
ton might be construed as friendly
act calculated to have a p1acating or
winning effect upon American sentf-
ment Then there is another possible
consideration Strong efforts are be-
ing made to develop the dyestuffs in
dustry in this country in a way and to
an extent make nnanufa cturers in
dependent of Germany for their supply
after the war is over and all blockades.
are removed, and the government has
been asked to aid in these efforts in
a way that would restrict, if not en-
tirely prevent, their importation here
after. May it not be that this gra-
cious offer, made with renewed as
surance'' of the high consideration
Of the German Ambassador, is intend

harmful effects are often attributed
to lice as these insects are more easily
8seen. The mite lives upon the blood
sucked from the body of the hen.
The amount of blood necessary to Sat
isfy a mites appetite is not large but

more at the(feast during the night.
the loss to the bird must be
appreciab1e- The greatest harm
is done by the Irritation and suf-
fering caused by the insertion of the
needle-1ike beaks through which the
blood is sucked and by the consequent
nervousness and loss of sleep. Setting
hens are often driven from the nest
and even killed by these tormentors.
There is sure to be a high mortality
among young chickens placed where
they can be attacked by these blood
thirsty creatures.
These mites usually hide during the
day, in cracks and Jcrevices about the
roosts or rocst supports and between
the supports and the wall Of the house.
These are the places to treat. Gar
bo1enium,,' s.FlykilP' and some of the
other coal tar products have been
found effective. Paint the roosts,
roost supports and other hiding places
Of the mites with one of these prep
arations. Discretion is necessary as an
excess may result in eye trouble to the
birds. To avoid this it is well to dilute
the products with kerosene and allow
the roosts to dry outside in the sun
shine Mites are very persistent so
that it too much to hope to clean
up a badly infested hen house by one
application but if the work is done
thoroughly and repeated at needed in
tervals one need not fear the poultry
mite.
The Storrs Agricultural Experiment
station has recently published a bulIe-
tin entitled Some Lice Mites of the
Hen which will be sent to any one
asking for it.

Treatment of Fowl Must Be
Carefully Followed Through

It is now near the season of the
year when the lice that infest poultry

greatest amount of harm. Likewise,
this is the season when the poultry or
roost mite is making its appearance
and laying eggs after having past the
winter in seclusion. These individu
ais if alive in the fall, will be the
ancestors of thousands and perhaps
millions of mites each one of which

Hen lice are abundant at all sea-
sons of the year. They do hot have
to hide away in the winter. as their
habitation is warm during this season
as well as in summer. They live
Throughout their entire existence upon
the body of the fowl and it is only by
accident that they may be found else
where, They seem to- thrive better
in winter than in summer Perhaps
the reason for this is that the stock
Ms kept in closer confinement and,
therefore, is less able to ward off and
free itself from the attacks Of these
little parasites. The poultryman
usually finds his birds infested at this
season, unless, of course, he has been
treating for lice. Soon little chickens
Will be coming forth and If Matched
or brooded by a lousy hen will be-
come infested Immediately and thor
oughly. Those Matched in an incu-
.bator brooded artfffcially, and kept
away from other stock should remain
free from lice for a time. A hen
may be able to support a community
of several thousand lice without ap-
parent harm but this same number
on a young chicken will either kill or
gr eatly weaken it. Lice and chickens
should not be allowed to grow up to-
gether. Il Hens which are to brood
chickens should be carefully looked

ing infested,
diIution of nercuriaI ointment
has proved to be a very effective rem :
edy TO use against lice. TThe mer-
cIriak ointment should be mixed, using
one part of ointment to one or two
parts of vaseline. This can be done at
home by placing the ingredients on a
pane of glass and working them to-
gether with an old case knife. Be
sure that the mixing is thoroughly
done andsthat the resulting ointment
is properly marked.
The method Of application is to take
an amount about the size of pea
on the finger, part the feathers, and
put on the flesh just below the vent.
The result of this simple treatment is
far above expectations as it is al
most impossi Bile to find a single louise
on birds a few days after treatment.
This method of control is simple
cheap and efficient. IF the ointment
is used too literally on setting hens
the eggs may become smeared thus
causing possible injury to the Develop
