retary Of agriculture to cooperative
road work In Oregon involving 81
114.194. which is distributed to i5
projects. This amount Is matched
by the state. assisted In some In
stances by counties. Cooperation OF
this nature is warranted by the
Shackleford road bill, which became
an act July IL. 1915, and which Is
the direct outgrowth OF an effort by
Chief Forester Graves and Secretary
Houston to make the national forests
contribute to road building enter
prises pending the time when large
timber sales from these forests will
automatically help the county ex-
chequers.
The projects on which co-opera-
tion is authorized by the secretary
are as follows:
Mackenzie pass road. Mount Hood
loop road, Eugene-Florence road.
Pendleton-I.aGrande road. Medford-
klamath Falls road, Ochoco creek

The object of using the paper is to furnish a convenient place for mites to hide. The paper should be examined 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 destroy ing the papers and treating the roosts will prevent an infestation.
 ethods of combating this pest, an announced recently in Farmers Bull letin SO1, include the spraying of the roosts and living quarters with crude D petroleum or coal-tar products. One of the most effective sprays is a so. called wood preserver, consisting of anthracene oil with zinc chloride add ed. The cost of this spray is about $1 gallon but twice the quantity may be obtained by reducing with equal parts of kerosene.

WATCH FOR MITES.

Washington, Sept. 13. - Chicken mites, the night pest of poultry, may not always leave the fowls before day light, as commonly supposed, but may remain in the feathers in such num- bers as to make poultry possibly car riars of this pest to uninfested places. This fact was brought out recently by an entomologist of the United States department of agriculture in the course of a study of the life, history anG habits of the chicken mite, under taken to discover principles on which combative measures might be based. A report of the study, which includes much other information of interest to poultrymen, has just been published as Bulletin 553 of the department, "The Chicken Mite: Its Life History and Habits," by H. P. Wood.
 To prevent tho introduction of this serious pest in mite-free flocks 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 wrapped with pieces of folded paper.
