No Market For Chicken Lice.

Feed is too scarce and expensive
and poultry meat too valuable to
be wasted by lice and mites.
These animals have no market
value, and each year they cause
the death Of thousands of chickens
and hens.
The chicken mite lives in cracks
and crevices of the poultry house
during the daytime, and visits the
chickens to suck blood during the
night. The ravages of mites can,
therefore, be checked by frequent
ly cleaning the house and spraying
or sprinllng with an insecticide.
Kerosene, crude oil, or, a coal-tar
wood preservative may be used for
this spray. Ten per cent crude
carbolic acid added will increase
the effectiveness. Begin spraying
early in the season and continue
at least once each month during
the hot weather.
Poultry lice live continually on
the hens body, which must be
treated ii they are to be killed.
This may be done by use Of lice
powder well worked into the
feathers, or by applying mercurial
or ''blue ointment mixed with an
equal amount of vaseline, under
the vent, under each wing, and at
the base of the neck. "Blue oint.
ment" can be bought at drug
stores. A few ounces will treat a
large flock. An amount the size
of a pea will treat mature fowl
or five to eight growing chicks
For very small chicks, lard, vase.
line, or meat frying can be more
safely used. Effective treatment
for lice and mites must begin at
once before the hot summer
weather favors their increase by
the thousands.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
Prepared for the Journal by Ohio.
Experiment Station.

Scaly leg of poultry is q COM
mon and well-known affection OF
chickens that sometimes causes at
fectcd birds to become worthless.
1t is caused by an extremely small
mite that works in and under the
crusts that form on the legs.
Caraway or sulphur ointment will
kill the pests.
Scales form at the point Of in
vasion of the insect, and under
them the skin is irritated and
bloody. Badly affected birds walk
with difficulty and may even lose a
toe; later they become thin, lose
their appetites and prove worth
less.
The disease is slowly contagious,
and for this reason a quarantine
pen is desirable on the farm so
that purchased fowls may be
treated for parasites and watched
for any contagious or infectious
disease.
To treat scaly leg the feet and
legs of affected fowls are held in
warm water for several minutes,
so that the crusts are softened and
can be removed. A mite killer is
then applied to the dry diseased
surface. The Ohio Experiment
Station recommends the following
mixtures: (1) oil of caraway
mixed in four times as much lard
or vaseline, and (2) flowers of sui
phur, one dram; carbonate of pot
ash, 20 grains; and lard or vase
line, half an ounce.
Some poultrymen have used a
mixture of one part of kerosene
and two parts of raw linseed oil
with speedy effect. The legs of
the affected fowls are dipped in
this mixture, care being taken that
the feathers are not wet.

FARMING IN 1870
Amazing Changes in Living Con.
ditions Are Shown.
In Early Days the Farm Produced
Practically Everything Family Con-
sumed, Food and Clothing.

In view OF the modern-day high cost
Of living and of the many wonderful
advances made In the last century
the railroad, the telegraph, the ocean
cable, the telephone, the automobile
and farm and labor-saving machinery
of all kinds and the amazing changes
these inventions have necessarily
wrought in all directions in almost ev-
cry walk of life-it may be of interest
to recall living on farm in the year
1910.
The farm I have in mind, writes
Warner Miller in the New York Times,
consisted Of 200 acres. The stock was
15 cows, yoke Of oxen, 20 sheep, an
old white horse, dozen pigs, so hens,
10 geese, few ducks and flock Of
turkeys.
The farm produced practically ev-
erything the family consumed, both
clothing and food. The sheep fur
nished the wool, which was carded at
"fulling" mill and made into rolls
for spinning.
At home 1t was spun into yarn and
woven on hand loom.
There were no ready-made clothes;
all clothes were made in the home.
Several cows were killed each year.
There was tannery near by, where
the skins were tanned. A shoemaker
made our boots. They were usually
too small and gave much trouble and
pain.
The flax, cut and laid down until the
fiber loosened from the woody part,
was put through a heckle worked by
hand and then spun and woven. This
strong linen cloth was used for sum-
mer clothing, towels, etc. The seed
was saved to make flaxseed tea Ga
medicire), or poultice for bruises.
For food we had everything needed
fresh meat, potatoes, beets, cab
bages, parsnips, pumpkins for pies, ap-
pies, which lasted from fall to spring;
cider, which gave us vinegar or pro-
duced cideE-champagne. -
Half a dozen pigs killed in the fall
gave us plenty of ham and bacon, lard,
sausages and salt pork.
There We're plenty Of chickens for
roasting and potpies and eggs, turkeys
for Thanksgiving and Christmas, oc-
caslonally roast goose with apple
sauce.
From the cows milk wc made both
butter and cheese. What butter and
cheese the family did not consume
was sold in nearby village. Butter
usually brought 12h cents pound.
Cheese was also made at home, as
there were neither ereameries nor
cheese factories. Cheese was sold at
8 to cents pound. All eggs not
used went to the village store and
brought 10 cents to 12 cents dozen.
Every farmer made his own soap.
1t was called "s0ft SOAP" 1t was soft,
but very strong, and took the dirt off
your hands and face very thoroughly,
and some skin, also, unless you were
careful in your ablutlons.
Little was heard of the world at
large. Twenty miles from the railroad
the great four-horse stogecoach came
every day, bringing the mails. There
were few newspapers or magazines.
The telegraph was unknown. The At
lantic cable did not succeed until 1866.
There were only % miles of railroad in
1880.

Not So Fierce.

The class had been studying about
the house fly, says Good Health, and
the teacher had made much of the
danger with which the gerin-carrying
habits of the insect threaten the pub
lie health. The lesson sank deep into
the mind, of little George, who later
was asked to write composition on
the subject. "The fly Is a insec," he
wrote with difficulty; "he has six legs,
he is more dangerous than lion, but
I had rather fly would bite me than
a lion."

PRESIDENT DELIVERS HIS
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-Declaring
for modified private control of rail
roads under a unified and greater pub
lie regulations, the president spoke
out to congress against the return to
old conditions of railroad operation.
In a 1000 word message read to
congress the president outlined this
and other measures in his reconstruc-
ton program. He also explained his
peace trip as one that was his duty
to make. He declared he believed that
the final peace would be completed
by spring.
Speaking on the matter of read
justment he included therein the pas
sage of woman suffrage; use of ex-
listing government agencies to effect
reconstruction; immediate resump-
ton and development of all public
returning soldiers; ratification of the
Colombian treaty to improve the Pan
American relations immediate deter
mination of taxes for the next two
years and the lifting of as much of
the tax burden from business needs
as will permit; priority distribution
Of American materials to war stricken
nations; complete consumption of the
three-year naval program.
In the matter of the railroads the
president left the disposition of them
entirely with congress, but urged that
he would recommend against the re-
turn of the roads to a prewar basis.
He urged that the railroad question be
studied by congress Immediately to
remove quickly the doubt as to the
future of them
The reclamation of arid, swamp and
cut-over land was urged. In the mean
time the president said American bust
ness men wit hquick initiative was
going ahead with their reconstruction.
AS or any definite, concrete scheme
of reconstruction he added none had
been made as yet which he believed
would work better than the present
constituted agencies.

SAVE 100000 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT THAT FORMERLY
WAS LOST IN THRESHlNG
Farmers, Urged by Food Administra-
ton, Provide Seven Extra Loaves
Of Bread for Every American.

By adopting cleaner threshing meth
DDS and by literally combing harvest
fields to gather grain formerly vast
ed, threshermen and farmers of the
United States this year saved fully
100000 bushels of wheat, estimated
as equivalent to about seven one-pound
loaves of bread for every person in
the country. This result, accompanied
by corresponding savings of barley,
oats. rye and other grains, is shown by
reports from 80 grain states to the q.
5. Food Administration. Other states
although not prepared to furnish def
mite figures of conservation in the
grain fields. report greatly reduced
harvest losses.
This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished in scarcely six months
time. was in direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers and threshermen
to reduce harvest losses from about
81 per cent-the estimated average
In normal times-to the lowest possi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers Of
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh.
Ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was removed But In
proportion to the number of persons
engaged In gathering the nations grain
crop, cases of compulsion were COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins
tration freely attributes the success of
the grain threshing campaign to pa
triotic service by farmers, thresher-
men and their crews. incidentally
grain growers of the United States are
many millions of dollars "in pocket"
as a result Of the grain saved
