KEEP DOWN THE LICE

It means more eggs and better
growth in chicks. Lice kill profit.
Body lice live and multiply on the
body of the chicks and fowls. To de-
stroy these dust the hen and chicks
with a good insect powder. Hens with
chicks should be busted every two or
three weeks or as often as necessary
until the chicks are weaned.
Head lice attach themselves to the
head of the chicks. Head lice can be
killed and prevented by greasing the
head with little lard or vaseline.
This may be applied with the fingers
on the head and neck.
Mites feed upon the birds at night
leaving them during the day. They
live in the roosts, cracks, nest boxes
and nearby woodwork. They cause
great suffering and spoil growth.
They can be killed by painting the
roosts, nests and floors of chicken
coops with kerosene or some strong
disinfectant.-Enoch J. Peterson, Ex-
tension Div. N. D. Agr. College.

him a greater number from which to
choose the best. He can give the
picked ones greater care too, and will
thus have much better birds for
breeding purposes or for sale.
Close culling is absolutely necessary
to the success Of the commercial
plant or for building up strain Of
laying hens. If you want to make
the most of your poultry business and
get returns on the time and money
you spend you must pay attention to
your breeding stock and securing the
best of the young birds is the great
est help toward this end.
Culling should start with the newly
hatched chicks and should be kept up
all through the growing period. If
you haven't culled up to date, start
right now and don't spare a single
bird that falls below your standard
of quality. Be thorough-the more
thorough, the less time you'll spend
culling next season. You'll be agree
ably surprised at the big improve
ment in your hack following the first
culling.

BOY SCOUT FIRE SQUAD.

Troop No. 3 of Vandergrift, Pa.,
boasts of having the first organized
Boy Scout fire squad. This fire SQUAD
was officially recognized by the hre
department awarding each Of the mc''-
bers a regular firemen's badge. After
training for two months under their
scoutmaster, Charles w. Henry, Jr.'
who is also instructor of the fircmen $
rescue squad, they proved themselves
very efficient along the lines OF hre
prevention, fire fighting, first aid, res
cue work and police duty. The b"y
Scout fire squad practices each week
with the fire company, and the boys
are taught regular f1rcn'cn's duties
aside from their Scout duty, such us
plugging, connecting up and directing
hose and nozzlcs. During their short
period of aiding the fircmen, they have
been called to quite few fires. ana
have responded with 100 per cent IN
attendance and also action.

GOOD GROWING

The value of any flock depends, un-
doubtedly, on the blood in the breed
ing birds, but most poultry raisers
seem to forget that even the best
blood as a start is useless if the
growing young stock are not kept up
to the same high standard as the
parent birds You've got to Gull the
young stock closely to keep out un-
desirables, otherwise you'll never get
anywhere either as fancier or as a
commercial poultry raiser.
When you do Gull, don't let senti-
ment stand in the way. Don't try to
raise chicks that are not lively and
normal in every way, for they con-
stantly grow weaker and will likely
be soon carried off by some disease.
Next pick out all chicks that have
a crooked spine or breast bone, a
roach or bumped back, uneven hips,
poor feet or weak legs, deformed beak
or wry tail. If you have room, place
them apart and prepare them for the
market as broilers, for these defects
will not interfere with the natural
movements or growth of the chick.
Pick out any chicks that do not
keep up to the rest in growth or that
have a thriftless appearance. Put
these in the Gull class for chick
once stunted can never entirely make
up the lost ground and when grown
is sure to be understood. Here is
other evidence of the point we have
so often mentioned, namely correct
feeding of the chick during the criti-
cal first eight weeks so that the chick
will grow strong and husky.
Place with the culls all chicks with
q weak head, long pointed beak, small
eyes or narrow body with a fiat
breast, for these are indications of
some weakness or general debility.
Don't discard a young bird because
of failure to show correct feathering
while growing, for feathers change
continually and early defects do not
always appear in the mature coat.
Close culling of growing stock is of
great assistance to the fancier. It
permits him to watch q far greater
number on limited area and gives
