WATCH FOR MITES
ON POULTRY STOCK
Pest Like Lice is Carried ON
Bodies of Fowls Hidden
Beneath Feathers.

Chicken mites, the night pest Of
poultry, may not always leave the
fowls before daylight, as commonly
supposed, but may remain in the
feathers in such numbers as to make
poultry possible carriers Of this pest
to uninfested places. This fact was
brought out recently by an entomol-
oglst Of the L. S. department of ag-
riculture in the course OF a study of
the life history and habits of the
chicken mite, undertaken to dis
cover principles on which combative
measures might be based. y report
of the study, which includes much
other information of interest &c
poultry men, has just been publish
ed as bulletin 553 vi the department,
The Chicken Mite: It's Life History
and Habits, by II. P. Wood.
To prevent the introduction of this
serious pest in mite free hocks by
means Of new stock, the specialist
suggests 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
wrapped 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 ex-
amined and if mites are found, the
fowls should be kept on these roosts
five or six days, or until no more
mites come off the fowls Removing
and destroying the papers and treat
ing the rOosts thoroughly with kero-
sene or crude oil, will prevent in
festatiOn.
Methods of combating this pest,
as announced recently in farmers
bulletin sol, include the spraying Of
the roosts and living quarters with
crude petroleum or coal-tar products.
One of the most effective sprays is a
SO called wood preserver, consisting
of anthracene oil with zinc chloride
added The cost Of this spray is
about 81 a gallon but twice the guam.
tity may be obtained bS reducing

The average fowl weighing six
pounds can be made to weigh eight
pounds by proper fattening-which
is equivalent 70 the gain OF an extra
fowl in four. The fat fowls will also

Don't be suspicious. Cultivate

Poultry shows are as fair in their
findings as any organization. Poul-
try judges are honest men doing the
best they can TO give every one u
square deal.
Pet stock" and freaks of nature
are incidental and ornamental in
most modern poultry exhibitions.
The big features are the great util-
ity and fancy breeds.
1t is well 10 remember, too, that
all pure bred stock of the really use
full kind is included under the
fancy breeds" This term is an
other expression for full bloods, -
or ''thOroughbreds." Formerly il
had primary reference to the fowls
that were bred for their beauty. or
their picturesque or grotesque ap-
pearances. with little regard to read
usefulness.
We have passed beyond the play
period in poultry exhibits. 1t is Sc
rious business today. Not that the
freaks and the pets are neglected.
But the sweeping and central pur-
pose of the modern poultry show is
to place in comparison and COMPETE

mems of thoroughbred utility stock.
The rest is largely on the side.
We have TO thank the showroom

quickener of interest there is moth

have better next year. Do your bit
