Mite: Its Life History and Habits" by
II. p, Wood.
To prevent the introduction OF this
serious pest in mite-free fiocks by
means of new stock. the specialist sug-
gests these precautions: New stock
not known to be free of mites should
be isolated the first few nights and
allowed to roost on new roosts wrap
ped with pieces of folded paper The
object OF using the paper Is to furnish
a convenient place for mites to hide.
The paper should be examined and IL
mites are found. the fowls should be
kept on these roosts five or six days,
or until no more mites come of the
fowls. Removing and destroying the
papers and treating the roosts thor.
oughly with kerosene or crude oil. will
prevent an infestation.
Methods of combating this pest. as
announced recently in Farmers BullC
