Drowned Man Not Identified.

Police are trying to establish the
identity of the body of an elderly col
ored man found in the tidal basin
near the foot of nth street yesterday
morning. 1t is thought the body had
been in the water only a few hours
before 1t was found. The mans hat
was still on his head, having been
drawn over his ears. and the police
think it probable that he accidentally
fell overheard while he was fishing.

Lice and mites in the majority OF
cases are more numerous, on the gen
eral farm and backyard flock than on
large commercial poultry plants. This
may be because there are greater num-
bers of small fiocks than large ones.
but it is true that one finds few really
modern commercial poultry plants an
noyed by vermin.
The reason for this condition in small
hocks is usually due to lack OF santa
tion or absolute indifference to methods
of prevention. If a commercial poultry
farm treated the verrnin question with
equal Indifference the owner would soon
face failure.
with modern methods of Matching and
brooding artificially. the chicks seldom
come in contact with older birds. con-
eequently there is little excuse ior
either the birds or buildings becoming
seriously infested. Nevertheless, pre-
yentiye measures must be practiced from
the very first. Like weeds. vermin
seem to spring up from nowheres-
Neglect the Cause of Pests.
Lice and mites are the most common
pests and the ones that cause the great
est trouble Old hens show a few lice
even where preventive measures are
practiced. but this is no reason for al
lowing vermin to overrun the quarters
Young stock artificially raised in
clean surroundings. should show no
signs of lice until they are a year old.
Chicks infested with lice mean neglect
and nothing else.
Lice that attack poultry are of two
kinds, common chicken lice and head
lice. The common lice are smaller and
attack chickens of all sizes. These pests
i've on the secretions of the body, skin
and feathers. Frequently they become
SO thick as to cause death. especially in
the case Of young chicks and sitting
hens. A pair of these pests under ia
vorable conditions will easily breed
thousands in a few months. Female lice
lay their eggs on the fowl, cementing
them to the feathers near the skin. In
scout ten days these eggs hatch. and 1t
Is only a short time till the young ma
tire and breed more.

Effective Gas for Fumigation.

When the quarters are badly infested
with lice or mites it is best to clean out
all litter and burn it. All paper Innings
should then be torn off and burned and
every corner cleaned thoroughly. After
this the house should be tightly closed
and fumigated
For this purpose chloride of lime and
formaldehyde make one of the most ef-
fective disinfectives. Place q pound of
chloride of lime In sixteen quart
bucket and pour pint of formaldehyde
over 1t. leaving the house at once
These ingredients act on each other at

amount mentioned is sufficient for a

POULTRY YARD NOTES.

powder should be thoroughly rubbed in,
particularly about the fluff and under
the wings.
The work can be accomplished much
one holding the bird while the other
does the dusting. If the person doing
the dusting will hold the fowls head,
keeping the hand over the eyes, little
trouble will be experienced by the bird
futtering during the operation. To be
effective the busting should be repeated
in about three weeks to catch the new
brood of verinin. and in bad cases
third treatment is often necessary.
Fumigation and spraying will destroy
all lice and mites about the house, and
If reasonable cleanliness and disinfec-
tion are practiced, the busting of the
hens will rarely be necessary.
Most dust boxes are not very effective.
ally pick slightly moist dust instead
of the dry stuff most dust baths afford
This Slightly moist dust, If we may term
1t dust, has the effect of cleaning all
scruf and dirt from the base of the
feathers. leaving the skin of the fowl as
il 1t were washed.
The larger louise. known as the head
louise, attack young chicks about the
head. frequently causing death. Hen-
Matched chicks are usually the greatest
sufferers Greasing the top of each
chicks head with a little lard mixed
with few drops of creolin will be
found effective. The lard should be
melted and the creolin added while it Is
lleuid. Then use when cold as grease.
Mites are smaller than lice, usually
red in color, though this color comes
chiefly from sucking the blood of the
fowls Their habit is to live in the
cracks of the house during the day and
attack the flock on the roost at night.
They lay their eggs in the cracks about
the roosts and nests of the house and
multiply much faster than lice.

IORKNEY ISLANDS IN HISTORY 'l'
Christian OF Denmark Put Them Up
for Security Of Dowry When His
Daughter Married James IiI.

No other territory In the British EN-.
pire has Il more tragic Significance to
Engllshmen today than the Orkney is
lands, off whose shores the most dis
tlnguished victim OF the world war,
Earl Kitchener, lost his life when tho
cruiser Hampshire was sunk.
These islands, SO in number. of
which only 30 arc inhabited, are sep
aratCd from the mainland of Scotland
by the Pcntlnnd Firth, from six and n
half to eight mites wide. They were
selected rs England's North sea naval
base not only on account of their
proximity to the field of operations
but on account Of their semi-isoation
and the advantage of the superb har-
Dor of Stromness, In the largest island
of the group, Pomona, which has an
area of 200 square miles.
While the original inhabitants of
the islands were picts, whose round
towers and chumbcrcd mounds nrc
among the interesting ruins Of this re-
giOn, the Morse pirates secured n
foothold here duri2g the early centuries
of the Christian era, and carried on
their dcprcdntiOns against all nuviga-
tors OF the North sea. In the last
quarter Of the ninth century Harold
Haarfngr put an end to the rule OF
the pirates, and added both the Ork-
ncys and the Shetland islands to Nor
ways domain. In 14G9 the Orkncys
came under the sway OF the Scottish
crown, Christian 1 of Denmark giving
them as security for his daughters
dowry when she became the bride
OF James III. AS the dowry was never
paid the islands have remained Il part
OF ScOtland's domain ever since.

of classic literature, furnished the set.
