PLAN TO ERADICATE MITES
Kerosene or Crude Petroleum Sprayed
in House Cracks or Crevices Will
Destroy Little BIood-Suck-
ing Parasites.

Don't tolerate mites and lice in your
hennery. They are unnecessary pests
and they sap the vitality that should
go into egg production. Nowadays,
effective ways are known for eradicat-
ing lice and mites altogether. First,
a dust bath should be accessible to the
hens. Usually there viii be a place in
the yard where the hens can dust them
selves in the dry dirt. If such u place
is not available, a box large enough
(about . feet square) for the hens to
get into it should be provided in the
house and a quantity of dust such as
ordinary road dust or fine dirt placed
in it to allow the hens q place to dust
themselves. A dust bath aids the hens
in keeping lice in check and therefore
adds to their comfort. Usually the
lice are not present on the birds in
sufficient number to prove particularly
harmful. However, ii is better to keep
the hens as free as possible from this
pest, and If they are not able to keep
them in check by busting themselves,
other measures can be undertaken.
To Eradicate Lice.
To rid the hens of lice, each one can
be treated by placing small pinehes of
sodium fluorid, material which can

VENTILATION OF HEN HOUSE
AS Necessary for Laying Fowls in Win
ter as in Summer-Keep Windows
and Doors Open.

The henhouse needs fresh air-as
much in the winter as in the summer
1t is as necessary to laying hens as
clean water and good feed. Badly ven
tilated houses make hens lose vitality
they lay fewer eggs, and often become
sick and stop laying altogether. Ven
tilatfon is needed also to keep the
house dry. When the circulation of
the air is poor in cold weather, mois-
ture collects on the inside of the walls
and roof. At a freezing temperature
under such conditions there is rapid
accumulation of 'frost" on these sur
faces which makes the house very I'M
comfortable.
Ventilation to provide pure air and
dryness. in a poultry house is simply
4 matter Of keeping doors and win
dows open as much as is necessary
to keep the walls dry. Few poultry
keepers have any difficulty in doing
this until the temperature goes low
enough to freeze water in the house.
Then the tendency is to close doors
and windows to keep the house warm.
\ general rule which may be followed
is to open doors and windows as wide
as is necessary to keep the house dry
in cold weather and to keep them wide
open when water in the house will not
freeze

Mites Are Blood Suckers.

Mites are more troublesome and
more harmful than lice. They do not
live upon the birds like the lice. but
during the day hide in the cracks and
creyices of the roosts and walls of the
house. and at night they come out and
get upon the fowls. They suck the
hens blood, and if allowed to become
plentiful-as they certainly will if not
destroyed-wiu seriously affect her
health and consequently her ability to
lay eggs. They may be eradicated by
Il few thorough applications of kero-
which are sold for this purpose, or
crude petroleum, to the interior of the
poultry house. The commercial tar
products are more expensive but
retain their killing power longer, and
they may be cheapened by reducing
with an equal part of kerosene. Crude
petroleum will spray better il thinned
with l part of kerosene to parts of
the crude oil. Both the crude petro-
leum and the coal-tar products often
contain foreign particles, so should be
strained before attempting to spray
One must be sure that the spray
reaches all the cracks and crevices
