If, for no apparent reason, there is
a lack Of thrift among your young
chicks, perhaps the cause is lice, or
worms in the intestines. Examine the
chicks about the head for head lice
Lice are more likely to be present on
hen-raised chicks. If lice are found
grease the heads of the chicks with
lard which is free from salt. DO not
use lard and sulphur. Apply the lard
with the finger, rubbing the head,
neck, under the wings and around the
vent The brooding hen should also
be treated. One of the best methods
OF eXterminating lice on the mature
fowls Is to rub piece Of blue oint-
ment, the size OF pea, into the skin
just beneath the vent, and also under
each wing. Do not daub it on, but
rub it well into the skin, as blue oint-
ment is very poisonous and will kill
the hen If she gets some of il into her
mouth.
If no lice are found, carefully exam
Inc the intestines of a dead chick for
intestinal parasites, such as tape
worms or round worms. If worms of
any kind are found, the chicks should
be treated and removed to fresh
ground where there are no worms in
the soil. As long as the chicks remain
on the old runs the danger of contain
inatiOn is always present
Treatment for Parasites.
To treat for intestinal parasites feed
should be withheld for u hours, and
one Of the following remedies given:
Powdered areca nut, 80 to 40 grains
for an adult bird.
Powdered areca nut, - grains for
immature chicks.
This can be mixed in n wet mash
and fed so that each gets an equal
amount. 1t can be fed to older birds
in capsules which can be forced down
the gullet.
Turpentine, one to three teaspoon
fuls, depending upon the age of the
bird, is also effective. 1t can be made
less severe by mixing with an equal
amount of cottorseed oil, but if inef-
fective, should \. used full strength.

FOWLS FOR EGG PRODUCTION
Fowls That DO Not Lay by Tir,o Of
Freezing Weather Usually Wait
Until Spring.
(By C. s. ANDERSON, Colorado Agri-

(By c. s. ANDERSON, Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins)
Are your pullets laying? Pullets
that do not begin to lay by the time
freezing weather sets in will usually
wait until spring. This means a dead
loss for several months. The average
poultryman cannot afford this loss If
he is raising poultry for egg produc-
ton.
Pullets of the Mediterranean breeds
hatched not later than May l, and
that have been reasonably well cared
for during the growing period will be
laying before early winter.
1t sometimes happens that force
of circumstances necessitates late
Matching, and 1t is these pullets that
must be pushed to get them ready
to lay in the fall.
Feed ration of high protein con-
tent, including such feed as beef scrap,
bran, middlings and oil meal. If
skim milk or buttermilk Is available, it
will be of value. Give the birds free
range whenever it is possible. If they
must be confined supplement their ra-
ton with some green feed, such rs
sprouted oats, green alfalfa, beets,
cabbage, etc. Birds fed such feeds as
above, kept free from disease, lice
and mites, and given plenty of ex-
ercise will develop amazingly.
There is still some time before se-
we're winter weather. Try forcing your
late pullets and see the effect it will
have on the winter egg basket.

The best method of giving turpentine
is by forcing it through a small flex-
ible catheter that has been oiled and
is passed through the throat into the
crop.
Good results have been reported also
with the use of tobacco dust, using five
10 ten grains to bird. This can also
be fed in wet mash.
The droppings containing the worms
should be burned or buried deep to
prevent the chickens from picking
them up.
DoIIar-and-a-Half Hen.
There is profit in keeping a good
poultry flock. This was shown by a
flock Of White Leghorn pullets at the
University Of Missouri. From so to 60
birds were housed In an open front
poultry house with yard 100 feet
square which was soCad TO wheat in
the fall. This furnished green food in
the late fall and early spring and was
not charged against their feed bill.
In years time the fowls consumed
1903 pounds Of grain and 962 pounds
Of mash. The total cost of the feed
was $66.27. In estimating this cost
the following prices per 100 pounds
were used: Wheat, $1.G6; corn, $1.G0;
bran, $1.20; cOrnmeal, $1.75; shorts,
$1.40; and beef scraps, S325. These
prices are higher than the feed would
bring if sold by the farmer, but at
that the flock returned a good profit.
They produced a total of S,0J7 eggs
at food cost OF 1912 cents dozen.
At the prevailing prices the eggs sold
for S15717, thus giving a total profit
of $4,000.
At an average price Of 23.4 cents q
dozen the hens returned a profit of
dollar and half apiece above the cost
of feed. Even at an average price of
20 cents dozen the hens doubled the
value of the feed.
They were fed as scratch food
mixture of two parts cracked corn and
one part wheat. The mash consisted
of equal parts Of bran, shorts, corn.
meal and beef scrap. Grit, oyster shell
and water were kept before the birds
all the time.

GOOD TREATMENT FOR COLDS
manganate in Drinking Water
Remove Sick Fowls.

If any of the birds develop colds, put
as much potassium permanganate as
will remain on the surface of a dime
into Il gallon of water and keep this
mixture in their drinking water for
several days, or until the symptoms Of
the colds have disappeared. Remove
any sick birds from the flock as soon
as they are noted, and treat them i'm
coops by themselves, or kill and bury
them If they are not worth treating.
