Coal Tar Kills Mites.

The poultry mites is more serious
pest to poultry than the hen louise. 1t
often is overlooked, because of its
habit of hiding away in cracks and
crevices, and of feeding at night Its
harmful effects are often attributed
to lice, as these insects are more cas-
lily seen. The mite lives upon blood
sucked from the body of the hen.
The amount of blood necessary to
satisfy a mites appetite is not large,
but as there may be hundreds, or
even more, at the feast during the
night, the loss must be appreciable.
The greatest harm is done by irriga-
tion and suffering caused by the in
sertion of the needle-like beaks
through which the blood is sucked,
and by the consequent nervousness
and loss of sleep. Sitting hens are
often driven from the nest, and even
killed, by these tormentors. There
is sure to be high mortality among
NOuuB ChlChtis pidCSu MHcIc lHcg
can be attacked by these bloodthirs-
ry creatures.
These mites usually hide during
the day in cracks and crevices about
the roosts or roost supports and
between the supports and the walls
of the henhouse. These are the
places to treat. Coal tar products
have been found effective. Paint
the roosts, roost supports and other
hiding places of the mites with one
OF these preparations. Discretion is
necessary, as an excess may result
in eye trouble TO the birds. To avoid
this, ii Is we'll to dilute the product
with kerosene, and allow the roosts
to dry outside in the sunshine. Mites
are very persistent, so it is too much
to hope to clean up a badly infested
henhouse by one application, but
II the work is done thoroughly, and
repeated at needed intervals, one
need not fear the poultry mite.

Spray for Melon Louise.

The melon or cucumber louise
which causes the leaves of cucumber
and melon vines to curl and die can
be controlled by the use OF one or
two effective sprays.
AS soon as the lice are discovered
they should be thoroughly sprayed
with either "black leaf 40" or a
strong soapy spray. The BLACK leaf
40" spray is prepared by dissolving
three-fourths OF pint of "biack leaf
40" and pounds OF common laun-
dry soap in 100 gallons of water. The
sospy spray is prepared by dissolying
/ pound of common laundry soap In
gallons of soft water. In applying
either OF these sprays, the essential
thing is to strike OF wet every insect.
The liquid must be applied by the
use of a spraying apparatus.

I'uris In War Time.

Fabiano. the artist of the boz lcirs
and cafes, and creator of those little
French girls who actually melt in
your mouth, has, like other Parsian
artists, begun to turn his attention
to more serious subjects.
81 would like to record for poster
ity the physiognomy of the present
time" he tells an interviewer for
Cartoons Magazine, who observes:
Paris during the battle of Yer
dun! rather fear that a more serio-
us artist will be required TO picture
her than the gay Fabino. 1t would
be not unworthy task for Steinlen'f
deep understanding, Herman Paul's
forcefulness, Abel Favre's noble in
tellect, or Poulbot's heroic gami-
neric-all combined-to poverty
truly the invincible courage that
grows in the perhaps a kttle mirth-
less smile on the faces that throng
and cross the Paris bouvevards. But
at least Fabiano has given us some
thing in his fugitive sketches.
Here one may see the Dame
blanche" as the Red Cross sister is
now called; the ebon-hued soldiers
Of the African army; the Scottsmen
in their short kills; the newspaper
girls-the newsboys are all in the
trenches-the "Laisses pour compile,
as the ehicken-shouldered young men
whom the military authorities have
rejected are called, and the New
France" as Fabino terms the beard

ing with soldierly gait, his boots and
uniform all white with Champagne

The Barbed Wire Industry.

According to the census publica-
lions, the United States produced
$13,764,357 worth of barbed wire
during the year 1914. This would
be little over 80 worth of barbed
wire for each farmer in the United
States. 1t is interesting to note that
we produced about 100000 worth
more of woven wire and poultry net
ting than of barbed wire.
During the five years prior to 1914
the wire industry In the United States
had been practically stationary. Fig
ures since that date are not available,
but will probably show a greatly in
creased production of barbed wire.
on account of the large use being
made OF II on the battle fields of Eu-
rope. In trench warfare barbed wire
is used to form an ENHANCEMENT as
q protection to the trenches. 1t is
loosely strung on posts when there is
time for doing this-but 1t has been
found almost equally as effective
when simply unrolled, fastened at
both ends, and pegged down to the
ground occasionally.

PLANT Diseases Are Expensive.

The annual loss from insects in the
United States approximates $1,000
600, 900. The same authority points
out q yearly loss from potato blight
of $4,000, 900, from grain SHUTS of
$33. 900, from grain rusts of
$40, 200, 900, and from cotton wilt of
$10,00O,00O. And these are by no
means all of the plant diseases. The
oretically, at least, this loss is all
preventable Practically, 1t is not
all preventable under present condi.
tions, because there are some men
whQ will take no precautionary meas
ures. In a large proportion of cases
fortunately, the farmer who follows
the right methods can keep the pests
of his own farm, and he will as he
should, reap the due rewards. This
will mean in every case a stimulus to
better farming on the part of the
whole community.

Dirty Pig stys Mean Worms.

Neglected pigs that are kept in
dirty pens, eating out of filthy
troughs, drinking bad water and
roofing and sleeping in manure piles
and old stack bottoms are pretty apt
to have intestinal worms. They show
IL by their pot-bellied, rickety, scrub
by appearance.
First, remove the cause. Clean,
dry quarters and good feeding, alone,
make hogs profitable. And good
feeding includes plenty of good past
ure. The following mixture is a
valuable tonic to the preventive of
worms: Charcoal, l bushel; hard
wood ashes, bushel; salt, pounds;
air-slacked line, pounds; sulphur,
A pounds; pulverized copperas, 3
pounds. Mix the lime, salt and sui
phur thoroughly and then mix the
charcoal and ashes. Dissolve the
copperas in two parts of hot water
and sprinkle over the whole mess,
mixing it thoroughly. Keep some of
this mixture in a box before the
hogs at all times, or place in a self
feeder.
The Bureau of Animal Industry
has found the following to be a de-
pendable cure for intestinal worms:
Withhold all feed and water for
twenty-four hours, then give each pig
from 1 to 4 ounces of castor oil to
which has been added oil of Ameri-
can wormseed as follows: Small pigs,
2 to months old. IS drops; pigs
weighing so to 100 pounds, so 20 100
drops; larger pigs. 1 teaspoonful.

Feed pigs on Forage Crops.

Spring pigs fed on good forage
crops will make five times az much
profit as those fed in dry lots" say 5
Animal Husbandman Gatewood, at
the Kansas State Agricultural Col
iege. THE cost of 100 POUNDS OF
grain on young pigs with corn at 80
cents a bushel and such foraSe crops
as alfalfa, rape, and clover, runs
from sass to $500, with older hogs
from $4.2S to 1891.
1.-THE accredited gain in pork to an
acre of forage varies, depending upon
the crop, the age of the hog, and the
amount of grain fed. An acre of
sweet clover with corn at so cents
and hogs at IS a hundred Melted
s42.O7; rape, $3.50; alfalfa, $65.90;
and a combination of oats, peas, and
rape, s64.6O.
"Of all forage crops, alfalfa is the
great permanent crop, while rape Is
the emergency crop, and green rye
the fall and early spring crop. The
ideal forage crop should show
adaptability to soil and climate, per.
manency, palatibility, reasonable
cost of planting, and good pasture
at any time during the growing seas
on. Alfalfa. clover, and rape have
most of these qualities"

Embarrassing Moments.

When there is company present
and the maid announces in a stage
whisper that there isn't enough
chicken to go around.
When you suddenly remember that
you have left the notes of your speech
at home in your clothes.
When two or three friends of your
wife get on the car in which you are
riding and you have only ten cents.
When you tell your wife you have
spent the evening with sick friend
and in the meantime the sick friend
has called upon you.
When they pass the collection plate
you find you have nothing but a five
dollar bill and a one-ccnt piece in
your clothes.

A Tree that Bears Wool.

The vegetable WOOL of Porto
Rico is a substance highly esteemed
in Cuba for filing pillows, upholstery
uses, etc., and considerable quanti-
ties are exported from Santo Domin-
go to Cuba. The expectation has
never been large in Porto Rico. al
though some has been sent to Eng
land. where it was utilized in the
manufacture of hats known as cas-
tors"
The tree from which the wool is
obtained is very common one, and
is found in all parts of the Island Of
Porto Rico. The wool, variously call
ed "lanta" and "guano," is the dried
fiber about the seed, which nature
has thus equipped so they can he
borne by the wind, much as the seed
of the cottonwood and sycamore
trees are disturbed. The pods of the
lana tree are 8 or inches long and
contain a surprising amount of the
fiber. The seeds are small and not
very abundant. The fiber looks and
feels like wool or fur. 1t ranges
color and is soft and silky. There
is no well-deffned business of gath
ering 1t for market yet because of the
limited demand.

Remedy for Chick Diarrhoea.

This is caused by some irritation
of the digestive system, and may be
due to the quantity of the feed, the
qualky of the feed, or the drinking
water, or to the climatic conditions
to which the fowl has been exposed.
There is a general depression, rough
ness of plumage and loss of appe-
tito, and usually frequent expulsion
OF soft, whitish, yellowish, or green
ish excrement, the droppings becom-
ing more liquid until severe diar-
rhoea is present. When the affec-
ton is at all serious the excrement
may become mixed with mucus or
blood. 1t is important that the
cause be sought out and removed.
See that the birds have comforta-
BILE quarters and that they are not
exposed to drafts, cold or damp
ness. II taken early, diarrhoea can
often be checked by reducing the
amount of green and animal feed and
feeding largely on dry feed, eliminat-
ing the moist mash. Give a table,
spoonful of sweet (olive) oil as a
laxative to carry off any irritating
matters that may be in the intes-
tines. In severe cases give five or
ten drops of laudanum to each bird.

shown by the way II has affected the
wheat market.
Nothing can be done to control
the insect al this time, but the farm
er should keep in close touch with
the situation, and Immediately after
harvest start to put into practice the
methods of control that have been
found practical and effective.
THE stubble should be disked i'm
mediately after harvest. This starts
the growth Of volunteer wheat and
tends to bring an early emergence of
the fly. 1t also makes blowing much
easier at a later date. Three or four
weeks after being disked, the ground
should be plowed at least inches
deep and all volunteer wheat and
stubble buried. This will also bury
practically all the flies"

Acorns as Hog Ration.

AS a general thing a hog buyer is
so suspicious of a hog which he
knows has come from an acron dis
trict that he doesn't want to buy him
at all. There are. however, a great
many hogs brought to the acron dis
tricts as feeders every year, and after
two or three months of good grain
feeding they pass muster with the
butcher. The principle is that they
should be grain fed from the begin
ming along with the acrons to support
the acron fat. An acron hog is other
wise so soft that it does not make
even a medium grade of edible pork.
Acrons are good growing feed for
hogs when grain is fed with them,
but the practice of letting the hogs
run on acrons alone is surely not a
profitable one.

BANKS MUST SHOW
 FOREIGN HOLDINGS

Washington, May 6.-The comptrol- Ter of the currency today issued a call to all national banks, requiring them to report their condition at the close of business on Monday, May 1.
 In their answers to this call nation al banks are required to inform the comptroller of their investments in foreign securities, particularly those of nations now engaged in war. The result is expected to show for the first time just how much of the $500,000,- 900 loan to the entente allies came directly or indirectly from national banks, as well as how much Germany or Austria may have secured through the same sources.
