batting them must be used. In mites
and Lice on Poultry" farmers bulletin
6O1, the United States department Of
agriculture, by E. @. Bishop and n. P.
Wood, the insect parasites Of poultry
chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks and pi-
geons-are further classified and RENE
dial measures prescribed which are
particularly applicable to the small
flocks of the average farm.
Aside from the chicken tick and the
stick tight flea, the most important ex-
ternal parasites of fowls are the COM
mon red mite, the scaly leg mite and
various lice.
Poultry raisers are all familiar with
the common red or gray mite which in
tests poultry houses. Its presence is in
dicated by the excrement of the mites
on the roosts, which appears as black
and white spots like specks of salt and
pepper. An examination will reveal
masses of these mites in hiding, to-
gether with their eggs and the silvery
skins cast off by the young. The eff
fects Of this pest are shown by de-
condition of the flesh Of fowls. If the
infestation is heavy, chickens become
droopy and weak, with pale comb and
wattles. The sitting hens desert their
nests or are found dead on the nest,
being killed outright by this sucking
parasite. In extreme cases a consider
able percentage of the fowls succumb,
even though not sitting, and are so
weakened as to be very susceptible to
various diseases. While this species
sometimes becomes very numerous in
chicken houses In the northern part of
the United States, the shorter breeding
season there usually makes it Of less
Importance than In the south, where
breeding continues throughout the year
with little or no interruption.
Two species of itch mite attack
fowls. One of these is the cause of
scaly leg. While this mite commonly
remains on the feet, burrowing through
the scales and causing their enlarge
ment, it also attacks the comb and the
neck. When this infestatfon is left I'M
treated the feet often become badly
distorted. and in some cases the fowl
can scarcely walk. Sometimes termi-
nal joints of the toes are lost. AS this
mite is transferred from one bird to
another, fowls with scaly leg should be
treated promptly by applying crude
petroleum to the legs with brush or
dipping the affected part of the legs
into this oil.
The other itch mite, commonly called
the depluming mite, is very small
creature, which burrows into the skin
near the base Of the feathers. The in
tense itching sometimes causes the
fowls to pull their feathers until they
are almost naked. Repeated applica-
lions of sulphur ointment should de-
stroy this mite.
There are two other species-smal,
soft bodied mites. One of these bores
into the skin; the other, which has
been found in several places in this
country, occurs in the air passages,
lungs, liver and other internal organs
of chickens and turkeys. Serious in
jury probably is not caused by these
mites, except that when they are pres
emit in large numbers breathing may be
hindered. Still another small species
sometimes feeds on the feathers of
fowls, but causes no other apparent In
jury. One species of mite recently has
been found IN great numbers along the

The Victims Of EnaIand.

If the king of England were to re-
nounce the throne and resolve to be-
come an ordinary citizen he would be
called George Victim. How does the
name Victim come to be the kings
surname? This is the answer:
Queen Victoria married Albert, duke
of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, of the senior
branch Of the house of Saxony. The
family name by which this house, dat
ing from the middle of the tenth cen
fury, came to be known afterward was
Victim, and this was and is the sur
name Of both branches-the Ernestine
and Albertine-of the house of Saxony
The name comes from the castle of
Victim, near Magdeburg, which claim
ed Wittekind as the founder of the
race.-London Answers.

FAMILY FRIENDS.

Fine Food For Thought In a Request
Made by Justice Lamar.
In the will of the late Justice Lamar
Of the United States supreme court
there was one very unusual legacy.
He bequeathed his friendships to his
family.
ITO my family" the will runs, Il be-
queath friendships many and numer-
Gus in the hope that they will be cher
ished and continued True friendships
are the most valuable of our earthly
possessions, more precious than gold,
more enduring than marble palaces,
more important than fame.
AS Henry Drummond has well said,
Friendship is the nearest thing we
know to what religion isl"
The family that inherits such wealth
Is truly rich. But it is legacy that
must be used if it would be preserved.
Friendships cannot be locked away in
safes or lent to historical exhibits and
museums. Like love and faith and
courage, they belong to that intangible
treasure of the soul that must be kept
from destruction by constant service.
1t is not alone material things that
crust doth corrupt"
How many of US have let slip
through busy or careless fingers the
beautiful and glowing friendships OF
our youth? We did not mean to do it.
Indeed, we have often regretted the
loss until, as the years pass, the regret
gradually fades away. And If that is
true of our own friends how far more
true Of our fathers friends! Yet there
have been families where friendships
have passed down from father to son
for several generations.
There is food for thought here. How
many fathers are building up fine and
loyal and serviceable friendships that
they can with pride and gratitude be
queath to their sons? How many
mothers are storing up like treasures
for their daughters? The question
does not end there. How many young
people of today are fitting themselves
to receive such legacies? How many
In all the varied and urgent calls Of
life are needing the challenge to make
themselves worthy of friendships BY
being loyal and fine tempered and gen
erous friends themselvesf

Book of Wisdom declares, must show

DOLLARS THAT ARE SAVED.
When Properly Invested They Help 10
Develop Our Country.


Develop Our Country.
What work does the saved dollar do
to help make this country a better
place for the saver? at meeting Of
the American Bankers association an
intelligent answer was made by a man
who Is well qualified to speak. BE
said:
while dollar saved by a workman
helps to give to some workman a job,
SO does every other dollar of savings,
whether It comes from wages, interest
or profits.
1.-THE economic effect Of dollar
saved and invested is just the same,
whether the owner Is wage Garner,
an employer or an heir Of inherited
wealth Income, however 1t originates,

uses performs an inevitable service for
society.

munity; you win see it creating new
demands for labor, raising the rate Of
wages and increasing the production
of things which men desire.
IF savings are devoted to reproduc-
tive purposes, 1t makes no difference
whether they are the savings Of the
workman or Of the millionaire, they
ultimately accomplish the same result
they increase the supply of things
that the whole community wants"
r. A. Vanderlip said that. 1t is true.
